the best part of the block button is how eager folks are to show that they deserve it. :D

@mnot @huitema

there are automation/ease advantages in having your cloud provider be your DNS provider.

it does lock you into their automation and any stupid DNS tricks that aren't RFC standards but do "work" in that environment.

robustness/resiliency does suffer a bit, in that you have both DNS and hosting fail with a provider failure. web browsers and apps will give a different user experience/error if you can resolve the DNS name but be unable to get a working IP connection vs having DNS just SERVFAIL.

i do see more web/app folks that don't really understand DNS at all go for this all-in-one and who don't always understand what tradeoffs they are then living with.

jews have always understood that if anyone is persecuted, they'll be in line at some point; that if anyone is persecuted, everyone is in danger. that doesn't diminish the bravery. many folks see things they know are wrong and unjust, yet do nothing.

@arri

the day that my morning coffee is delayed because my kettle wants to do a firmware update is the day i go on a complete rampage...

this is just wrong in every way.

@matthew_d_green

i've heard of hazing rituals but this borders more on geneva convention violation...

@Adam_Cadmon1

history may be written by the victor, but truth can be dug out with research. ;)

@Adam_Cadmon1 @inthehands

i'd put the reagan years, newt, etc. as the start of regression this cycle. 9/11 was the excuse for heavy clamp downs on things other than just taxes/govt spending that started with regan. it sure feels like a pretty steady eroding of social progressiveness wins of the 60s-late 80s. TFG/MAGA let those folks feel empowered to say aloud what they'd been pushing for since reagan (and the civil war...).

@Adam_Cadmon1 @inthehands

one of the other things i think reagan did was normalize the fantasy of the 50s that never was, the stepford wives dream instead of the american dream. even blue collar MAGA seem to be buying into a past that never was.

@mekkaokereke

one of the charms of places like NYC, London, etc. is that you can walk down the street and hear dozens of languages. you can find an overwhelming variety of foods, see a huge array of different clothing. always puzzles me, the people that find this threatening and not fascinating.

@tilton

if they put this at the checkout stand, i'd just assume it meant they understaffed registers, like usual. ;)

@inthehands

suspect you mean the 29 Mar 1976 cover. the copy i found is very heavily copyright limited on use but shows Manhattan, 9th ave, 10th ave, Hudson River, then a very narrow brown strip of bare earth, then the Pacific ocean. sums it up pretty well. ;)

@inthehands

my dad grew up in NYC. to his relatives, "the west" was anything west of the hudson river. ;)

he went to college in iowa and they never got that iowa and ohio weren't the same place. "he goes to school somewhere way out west".

@inthehands

i think it's tragic that we have turned college into a hugely expensive vocational education for so many and denied the true learning and possibilities of a liberal education to any that desires it.

"useful to society/capitalism" is a poor substitute for "bettering everyone".

@joat

- stop working if you drop streaming plans
- stop working if the streaming service goes out of business
- stop working if the streaming service decides they don't want to pay royalties to the artist
- stop working if the streaming service takes it out of the catalog that month

buying vinyl, CDs, and paper books means you own the material. it's not a unilaterally revokable, highly limited and one-sided right to use license.

copyright law and "fair use" are a complete mess these days.

@inthehands @mekkaokereke @longobord

i went through calculus more than once. (more than twice...).

problem was lousy teachers, i found out. when i finally had a teacher who was a physics person at an army lab, he'd explain underlying concepts, show concrete examples of how things were used, showed how things related. it was revelatory. got straight As and actually learned.

kids aren't dumb. many methods of teaching are.

@inthehands

i figure it's kind of like the zoo. as long as the monarchs are confined and can't get into the US, we love looking, poking things through the bars, and generally annoying them.

@inthehands

nice!

there is a german soup, which is basically spicy sausage, potatoes, and kale, which has become a staple winter lunch at our house.

you put enough other stuff in to cover the taste and kale isn't so bad. ;)

@inthehands

this is a good start:

there are some mailing lists, like mailop, once you've gotten through all of this.

but the tl;dr on SPF hard fail, DMARC p=reject, etc. is they are more likely to throw out babies with bath water and will probably annoy users.

@Cleopatra @georgetakei

arms dealers always sell to both sides. they care about profits, not deaths.

the NRA is a gun/arms manufacturer lobby group, not a gun enthusiast group.

@juliewebgirl @inthehands @conniptions @mekkaokereke

audio engineers have learned a lot and the new software and remastering stuff are incredible.

the original master tapes really did capture a bunch of stuff that didn't make it to the records/cds we originally bought.

definitely worth getting some of them.
