I specifically bought a smart watch for that purpose, first watch I've bought in over 20 years, and it sits there and gathers dust because it's so annoying to have something hanging on my wrist. I might also be less wigged out by them if I could put my own OS on it instead of having the Google spyware only.

I know of a company that their entire CI pipeline was broken overnight because some “helpful” person renamed the branch to master but didn’t bother checking out their pipelines

Sounds like the sort of simpleton that would find "master" offensive.

Don't negotiate with terrorists.

I feel like the only person that can't stand to wear a watch. Until cellphones came out, I just got really good at estimating the time.

I'm pretty familiar with TTech's legacy, I just mention it because if the repos ever got compromised, it could be a shitshow. IDK what security measures the new maintainers use to secure their access or check PRs, but I get nervous when it's as popular as it is and such a good vector for complicated installations that are hard to check out. I also don't know the new maintainers from Adam.

Personally, I'd use the scripts as a guide for DIY.

Know what you're running when you pipe to a bash script. Curl-bash pipes are a security mess.

You know Bondi has a copy of those files on a deadman switch, ready to be emailed.

Art of the Deal.

I won't hold my breath for the apologies for asshole comments when I said this at the time of the news.

I despise Musk as much or more than the next guy, but irrationally losing your shit over something that was obviously a paperwork glut at a deadline and then shitting on anyone that said as much is juvenile as fuck.

Hate Elon, hate Tesla, but use your bloody head.

Something that's less annoying than Anubis is fail2ban tarpitting the scrapers by putting in a hidden honeypot page link that they follow, and adding the followers to fail2ban.

We have neighbors with tons of hemp bales mouldering in the field because the processors won't take them because they don't have anywhere to sell them to. Maybe it's incompetence, or maybe the hemp hype isn't all it's cracked up to be. There aren't a lot of people willing to grow it anymore.

Calming measures work.

Speed cameras do not.

Spend money on calming measures but they won't because revenue, and the camera companies give the sweet, sweet perks to get the revenue sharing contracts.

Why Radicale when you have a caldav-capable calendar in NC?

"You will never be disappointed with the United States of America."

We're fucking disappointed. Every fucking year of this relationshit. You are an utter disappointment in nearly every way.

IRC

I divested from US tech decades before it was cool.

Is lemmy.ca redacting naughty words now?

Piefed.world account, so probably just started it up.
