@fere @thomasfuchs IMHO Fahrenheit is great for weather and terrible for most other uses. 0°C is not bad, 0°F is cold (-18°C). 100°C is impossible weather, 100°F is pretty hot (38°C).

@thomasfuchs Lawyers charge for counsel. Peanut gallery works for fun

@thomasfuchs I was using a half-height removable drive system in the late 90s as a way to quickly reboot into an alternative OS for software testing. Windows 95, 98, NT, probably something else.

@thomasfuchs @lmorchard For that you need an endless stream of replies to your thread.

Let me help.

@thomasfuchs My last long term position in an office (several years pre-covid), I could get a company paid parking spot or a monthly "commuter check" which was only redeemable at certain local transit for fare cards.

Driving to work took me about half an hour. Bike plus BART maybe 45 minutes. Pure public transit (three agencies) an hour. Oh, and driving home was consistently slower, with a toll, than driving in.

Not sure of my point other than pay-by-time is complicated

@OhNoSheTwitnt I see "self-hating Jew" sometimes. I think it is a cognate of "American Jew" in your list, but I'm not sure

@thomasfuchs Looks fancier than the spinning colored disk to make the Vectrex 3D work, and light enough to wear unlike the Virtualboy

@thomasfuchs
There is no (readable) time in Memphis (small screen edition). The six day week calendar view is odd, but I see on wider displays it goes higher than seven so just luck

@thomasfuchs Have you considered an urn?

@mastohost Just as one data point, I'm a US based customer who is not put off by prices quoted in local currencies

@kornel @wingo
I posted a URL of mine in a reply to an @feditips post recently. I checked the logs:

1140 requests in the first minute, peaking at 33/s
1953 hits in first ten minutes, 2192 hits total.

Fun:
86% used ipv4
1751 uniq addresses (ipv4 & ipv6): 183 seem to be masto.host (162.19.0.0/17)

In UA, eg mine : "http.rb/5.1.0 (Mastodon/4.0.2; +https://fed.qaz.red/) Bot"

79% id as "Mastodon/4"
2026 uniq hostnames (some do HEAD and GET)
6 punycode hostnames

@kornel @wingo

@mastohost Any way you could reverse proxy and cache these requests to cut down on duplicated traffic?
