@hellomiakoda Unrelatedly, what on earth does "beyond healthcare" mean? Are they a mortuary service?

@kims If your budget allows, a set of the most "white middle class" clothes and accessories you can get.

The sort of thing you could all wear to travel from A to B while attracting as little attention as humanly possible from the wrong people.

Me, yesterday: FreeBSD on both my desktop and laptop are now sufficiently stable for me to retire my Linux dev partitions.

Me, late yesterday: Oooh, updated packages available.

Me, this morning: The latest amdgpu module causes my laptop screen to blank, and stay blank 😢

Want to use Bluetooth headphones on a FreeBSD system that has a 3.5mm audio socket?

You can with a Bluetooth transmitter! I'm using this model, after buying a different (cheaper) unit that had unacceptably poor quality.

Just plug it, switch to TX mode, and your Bluetooth headphones *should* auto-pair with it (how, I don't know ...)

@madeindex @ramin_hal9001 Imagine all the rocks that would get turned over, all the skeletons that would come out of the closet, it that were to happen.

Because the defense would certainly get to ask some really pointed questions of the complainants. Questions about their business continuity plans, system redundancies, etc. Procurement too - was proper due diligence followed in purchasing and using Crowdstrike?

Pretty sure many execs would rather set their heads on fire than have those conversations on public record.

@hellomiakoda @hal_pomeranz Very weird.

I read a while back that Coke Zero was made for Australia and countries like it, because Diet Coke was "gendered" female somehow 🤯

@mekkaokereke The marketplace of ideas means you don't have to shop at McDonald's if there's better food available.

Ouch, Vimeo has bumped their prices from ~ USD100.00 to ~ USD132.00 per year.

I don't do a lot with Vimeo - mostly just sharing videos with friends and family, many unlisted. So it feels like something I could fairly safely move self-hosted.

PeerTube has fixed https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/944 and https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/3218 which means it's theoretically a suitable replacement for Vimeo for my purposes. I already self-host a Web server, Gemini capsule, and Jitsi Meet instance, so adding my own PeerTube instance wouldn't be _too_ much additional faff.

Question is, is there something simpler I could be doing?

@stefano Oooh good to know, thanks.

My brother just sent me this photo of a bottle shop sign in Japan 🤣

@mcc I once had a client who used an Oracle education product; it had ~ 14k _tables_ in the schema.

Well, Windows enshittification is in full swing. Windows 11 now has a built-in shortcut for ... LinkedIn 🤦♂️

Control + Windows + Alt + Shift + L, apparently 🙄
