So big scary warning, but nothing than "audit your shit" to address it? I'm not an expert, and in fact just got ollama w/deepseek running on my machine last night... but like, isn't it common courtesy to at least suggest a couple of ways to mitigate things when posting a "big scary warning" like that?

Especially given deepseek's more open nature, and the various tidbits I've seen indicating that deepseek is open enough to be able to tweak/run entirely locally. So addressing the API issue seems within the realm of possibility...

Really depends on what I eat. Beans? Mediocre, the kind of fart that you know exactly what to expect and it's entirely mid. Brocoli? Might as well call Greta Thunberg, because those one's are probably cleaner than the air I breathe.

Now clams? Hoo boy. Those are the kind of farts that not only am I proud of, I want to forcefully share that pride with others.

It's clearly bad juju if you dont then save again just to be sure.

I've always had cats in the house, even as a kid. Our family has pretty much always followed the "They get breakfast when we get breakfast, and dinner at dinner time" so that's when they get a portion of "wet" food, with dry/crunchy available to "free feed" on throughout the day if they get snackish as well as a few different sources of water.

While that can lead to cats being overweight, we generally let the cats outdoors or now more recently, give them free reign of the house and attached garage. The garage is basically just a building shell, so critters like rodents and birds can still come in which in turn gives the cats something to do and keeps them active which is the key. As long as they're burning off the extra calories and maintaining a healthy weight, the "how" becomes somewhat irrelevant.

The general advice that seems to be prevalent though is to intentionally restrict their diets a bit to keep them at a healthy weight. So the "free feed" idea may not be the best advice.

As much as I dislike TikTok and short-form video in general, I really don't think this falls on TikTok. The idea of middle-schoolers discovering they can choke themselves out has been around as a "thing" since at least the late 90s.

We knew it as the "Space Monkey". And yeah, the whole idea was to chokehold yourself until you nearly/did pass out. I suspect it has more to do with the timing of learning things like biology, and the immaturity of middle schoolers finding the idea of blacking out to be funny.

So uhh... hypothetically if one were to live next to a cornfield and acquire some seeds from said field cough somehow cough, would those purely hypothetical seeds grown in one's garden then constitute corn piracy?

Asking for a friend of course.

I hadn't thought about the Kofi banner thing, and this is anecdotal though my experience, but upon seeing that mentioned my mind immediately jumped to the Steam Workshop; at least with some of the games I play, it's very common to see some form of "Donate".

Setting that aside, the thought occurred to me of somehow tying something we're all used to seeing and interacting with - usernames - into something that if one were so inclined, could interact with somehow to pull up something like a QR code to their "donate box" of choice.

I have no idea how it'd be actually implemented, but it doesn't seem impossible that something like that could allow for both traditional fiat payments, crypto, or even links to "Yoder's Rent-a-goat". I mean, I'd work for a goat as payment, so why not.

QR codes themselves are pretty visually meaningless, and that physical step of the user having to scan it would be that "fully intentional" aspect that'd keep things from being somewhat predatory (thinking in-app payment type stuff).

<shrug>

On the one hand, people should be able to make a living.

On the other, places where every Tom, Dick and Harry has their hand out expecting payment for the most inane things (i.e. tipping culture, states where billboards are allowed...) turn pretty crap pretty fast.

Something to remember is that advertising on the internet was a slow-roll at first... until all of a sudden, everyone has ads and popups.

I'm fairly confident it's Obsidian, and not sure if the theme's even been changed, as the default Obsidian in dark mode looks the same. Not sure if Logseq uses the same icons like on the left, but Obsidian does for sure.

The same tool that can be used to permanently activate a Windows install can be used to permanently activate an Office install as well; including 365.

Oh, and the tool to do so is open-source.

Or you could just dump Microsoft entirely (unless you need Excel in particular). Either way, it's free.

Yeah... despite the local Wal-Mart having quite the selection for the garage chemical enthusiast, I'd rather not publicly outline terrible ideas that could lead to others being severely hurt or killed.

Though I will throw out there that the access for the fire suppression/sprinkler system is usually fairly easy to access, and covers the entire store when it goes off, conveniently aerosolizing whatever liquids might be in the pipes...

Huh, after the 3rd time my alarm failed to go off, I was thinking I was going insane having thought I set it and merely forgot. But this is actually kind of reassuring, as at least I can rest assured it's not just me.

On the other hand, it has me thinking I should dig out the ol' reliable '80's GE alarm clock. At least that one actually goes off.
