@molly0xfff Stripe gave up getting feedback from you, and escalated to your manager (your pet).

Your GitHub account now includes one free hour in the ball pit

If you have a PiAware-type ADS-B setup for plane tracking, I've written a simple terminal app for displaying nearby planes. It's called... PLANES!, which is like SHARKS! but with planes.

I don't think I can handle the emotional stress caused by the Signal logo's shade of blue changing slightly.

@evan Yeah, sounds like just SSH is network restricted. I'm guessing you could generate a PAT and use that for HTTPS auth to push; AFAIK there's no way to restrict that in GHES

@evan Just out of curiosity, are they running GitHub Enterprise Server (would be a custom hostname), or is it GitHub Enterprise Cloud with IP restrictions (on github.com)?

I'm the platform manager for our GitHub operations at work, and most of that is GitHub Enterprise Server.

@mattl On a related note, I'm still disappointed that switches aren't part of the core HDMI CEC spec. I want to plug in an HDMI switch and the TV will just see it and go "I guess I have 5 more inputs now", and you wouldn't need a separate remote.

If the manufacturers need an evil capitalist angle to make this happen, it would allow them to justify shipping TVs with only one input; you can always buy more later.

Huh, how did I get on top of this soapbox? Sorry, I'll get down now.

@mattl Through trial and error, I recently found one which 1) has all the HXPL 2.3pre1FINAL(v2final) standards and whatnot, and 2) didn't freak out randomly. It's kind of sad that this took multiple attempts.

Anyway, enjoy: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09Y14JSFH

@shadowfacts @cwebber This is very much sounding like decentralized-as-in-bitcoin

@evan I don't remember how well he played there specifically, but he was pretty good overall. https://www.c-span.org/video/?26472-1/clinton-appearance-arsenio-hall-show

@evan My parents took me to a Clinton rally in 1992. That's me in the foreground, with the painfully 90s bowl cut and painfully 90s jeans jacket.

For the record, the nearest Waffle House to me remains open during the storm.

(I live in SoCal. The nearest Waffle House is a 6 hour drive away, in Phoenix.)

We regret to inform you that the company responsible for handling the previous breach has itself been breached.

I want a very specific flashlight:

- Small (under 15cm long)
- USB-C rechargeable
- Doesn't self-discharge in storage
- Reasonably solid
- Has a lanyard
- Has a focus ring
- Starts on a low brightness mode
- Button turns it off if it's been on for a few seconds, instead of next mode

This flashlight doesn't exist.

Of all the personified LLM chatbots out there now, how did they not make Ask Jeeves into one? (I think as I discovered Amazon's LLM chatbot is named... uhh, Rufus.)

(I just checked askjeeves.com: it's a simple wrapper around what I assume is Bing's API search, and is completely broken with an adblocker. Sadly, no Bonzi Buddy tie-ins either.)

Never roll your own crypto.

Never try to implement `tail -f` yourself.

@foone I would totally get AI care from a site with the domain ahh.healthcare.great.
