@mensrea I’m not sure if that's true. No one capable of janking it in OCaml would be caught dead doing it.

@maikel @deutrino Well, it reaches the DB but it’s discarded before the insert ever finishes. It’s never actually written to the table.

The biggest problem with forking is the potential to turn into an everlasting time suck. Writing the code is one thing. Making sure it applies cleanly to upstream changes is another. We need these things merged into the main code base.

I was on the smallest hole of a belt Y inches long. It has 6 1”-spaced holes, so I bought a new belt Y-6” long.

Spot my math mistake? 🤦♂️

I do this for a living and still make fencepost errors.

I am “hurt my back playing video games” years old.

It is always socially acceptable to punch nazis. Like, even if you're at a wedding ceremony, if someone throws a nazi salute, you can punch them right then and there. It's one of the few etiquette absolutes.

Also, you needn't verify that they're a member of a 1930s political party. If they describe themselves as a nazi or sympathize with their goals, the original rule holds.

There’s no camouflage as invisible to authorities as a sport coat.

Some friends and I got a pack of Orbic mobile hotspots so we can install the EFF’s Rayhunter software on them to detect “StingRay” IMSI-catchers. This is what one looks like. https://www.eff.org

Today I updated Spamhammer to get rid of Fediverse Chick once and for all.

I do so wish Mastodon had moderation tools, like, *anything* really, that would make this drastic step unnecessary. Alas, here we are.

I bought a case for my Meshtastic radio. It came with a couple of buttons and switches that reminded me that I’m only so-so at soldering. I still like how it came out, and everything works like it’s supposed to. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1814923500/gen2-rak19007-case-for-meshtastic-for?ref=yr_purchases

New password rule just dropped:

"Your password shouldn't contain more than 2 repeating characters in the same case.”

Translation: you can't have 2 uppercase or 2 lowercase next to each other.

GTFO with that nonsense.

‘Startup Nation’ Groups Say They’re Meeting Trump Officials to Push for Deregulated ‘Freedom Cities’ https://www.wired.com/story/startup-nations-donald-trump-legislation/

Gooood morning, Night City!

No, really, that’s absolutely 100% what I expect would happen.

@mensrea I need to re-watch that.

@mensrea I somehow never managed to see that.

@mensrea TBF, you're the first person who's ever sounded enthusiastic about it to me.

No, I wasn’t trying to get any work done.

Motherfuck the gig economy. My kid just did their taxes. After deductions and all that, they had about $7000 in net income, then $3000 in taxes on it because Rover says "they're not employees LOL”. Because Rover (and Uber and Lyft and…) want to evade taxes, my kid is paying a freaking 43% tax rate on minimum wages.

Seriously. You got an extra pitchfork? I’ll march with you. Burn it all all down.

It will be great to have quote posts for the first time ever.
