Yeah, I've been watching on twitch.tv/midnightsumo for a couple years now, and it's a serious distraction. Mostly I show up for the last 4 hours each day, but sometimes watch lower-division which are fun. #sumo
@calvin 🛋️ The first time I heard this substitution used, it confused me. Someone was talking about their Wi-Fi bill, and I thought, "wait, that's a bill?"
"The Internet" now refers to: A browser made by Google or MS, Facebook, Twitter, a bank's web site, a phone, online casino, or the hamster dance.
It does not refer to: A global network of computers, ethernet, or whatever hacker thing you're doing with telnet in "a shell" I'm gonna call the FBI on you if you start WW3.
You know, it's weird. When you think about it, a book store or library is basically a giant nexus to an incomprehensible number of other worlds. This should really fill people with more awe than it generally does.
The thing about being in the Mormon church for 12 years is that bits of it stay lodged in your brain forever despite your best efforts. I just caught myself humming a hymn, ironically enough while making my morning coffee. That just feels... wrong. #ExMormon #apostake
In the future, I recommend meal prep; it reduces the jit cooking overhead by a lot, tho it can't eliminate it entirely for most dishes. Many of my meals are (quinoa + beans + nooch + 99 secs. in the microwave).
In the present, I recommend the a ready-to-eat snack that's pareto optimal for you measures of nutrition, distance, and cost. I find a small bag of cashews with as little added salt as possible works well for me. Others have suggested packaged "cheese" and crackers.
I'd rather eat out all the time, or at least do takeaway, but cooking at home + meal prep was the only way I could get my sodium intake down to reasonable levels.
(My BP stubbornly remains high, tho.)
These days I continue it because the closest restartant (that isn't a food truck or also a convenience store) is a 15 minute drive away, I think.
So I think at least a part of my problem is the browser on my tablet. This problem only seems to happen when I'm using that. I'm still going to take measures to keep Meta/Amazon/Bytedance's bots from crawling my server because they're all over the access logs and they're certainly not helping matters. Also, they have absolutely no reason to be doing this at all.
So, I watched this YouTube video on the origin of the concept of imaginary numbers. While the content was fascinating and presumably well-researched, my brain couldn't stop looking at the abacus prominently displayed on the guy's desk. It was upside down for the whole video.
I keep wanting to resurrect my homemade 8-bit CPU project (heavily inspired by Ben Eater's breadbord computer). One of the changes I want to make is to have a variable speed clock module that you have to manually turn a crank to run. The faster you crank, the higher the clock speed.
Is this practical? Not in the slightest. It would be really cool though.
If you want to play the game of making fake "security scan" announcements over your PA system, it might add to their credibility if they didn't sound like they were made by a professional voice actor in a recording studio.
So my partner and I do Instacart to help make ends meet. We have supposedly opted out of heavy orders,* and yet we were assigned an order with three cases (40 x 500mL) of water. That's 60kg (assuming negligible packaging weight).
This begs the question: what exactly is their threshold for what is considered a "heavy order"?
* because they don't pay anywhere near enough for us to destroy our bodies like that.
EDIT: The solution was simple but "bonus points" for anyone that can explain why my method didn't work.

I would like an org-mode-custom-command to display an agenda which is only made from the
I am using many different org mode files for various projects, and I rev them by adding the date to the filename eg filename-2020-09-17.org. I realize I could use version control but in this case t...
"If the current buffer is in Org mode and visiting a file, you can also first press ‘<’ once to indicate that the agenda should be temporarily (until the next use of ‘SPC o a’) restricted to the current file. Pressing ‘<’ twice means to restrict to the current subtree or region (if active). "
In other words, execute org-agenda then press "<" before the command you want to run against the agenda.
Lately, things around the apartment have been failing in ways I didn't even know could happen. I had to pick up a new shower head because the old one exploded while I was in the shower yesterday (clocking me in the head in the process).
I'm beginning to think this apartment has it in for me.
Got another spambot requesting registration on my server. This was the masterpiece they included in their request:
Hello, I’m excited to join this community. I value respectful, meaningful conversations and aim to contribute positively. My interests include [briefly list relevant topics or hobbies], and I’m looking forward to connecting with like-minded people here. Thank you for your time in reviewing my application.
@Kevin Karhan Registration on this server is only open to friends and family.* There is a very prominent notice to that effect on the registration page.
* I don't have the resources to run a server that's open to the public.
With #3DPrinting being so accessible and #PCB manufacturing being reasonably inexpensive, I wonder how much I'm underestimating how difficult it would be to design and build a fully #FOSS #game console. I'm thinking something reminiscent of the #NES; I'm not trying to compete with modern consoles.

@Digit At the moment, I'm very broke and my executive function sucks since I'm off ADHD meds, so it'll probably take forever for me to finish, but It's something I want to do.
It does look like someone's beaten me to it, but I'm not trying to be the first, just to enjoy the challenge.
And indeed. It's the adventure, the learning, the creating, more than the having.
(and yeah, I hear ya on the executive functioning fails... I've never yet had medication for my ADHD (not even officially diagnosed), this place is a mess... and yet, when the idea struck, and I followed the inspiration, the whim, at the start of this month, much to my astonishment, I made a fin, from zero to proof of concept, in less than a week, and development continues... ks392457.kimsufi.com/drnw/fin.… | codeberg.org/Digit/fin/ | youtu.be/dhJaNQi8400 😮 ... So it happens when it happens. #ADHD -> #VAST 😁 )
Hey Fedi, I could use some help with this one. I'm in over my head.
We have an #Insignia portable #WashingMachine (model: NS-TWM16WH9). The agitator has suddenly stopped, well, agitating. It makes a buzzing sound as though the motor is being engaged, but no motion. A quick internet search identified a slipped belt as a plausible culprit, but I found what appears to be the belt at the botton of the machine, and it seems perfectly fine, though I don't know if it's perhaps the one that spins the drum (which is working fine).
It doesn't throw an error code, or give any other indication that the computer is even aware there is a problem.
Any ideas what else the issue could be? At the moment, I have it sitting unplugged as I don't know if there's a big ass capacitor in there, storing a charge waiting to strike me down when I go prodding, and to be honest, I'm decidedly in over my head on this one. At least it soesn't seem to require security bits though.
I'm sure it's out of warranty and we can't afford to replace. Any suggestions would be welcome. Boosts appreciated.
I never saw a washing with 2 belts (but I'm not saying the don't exist) so if the best is fine I'd look for exhausted brushes on the motor, which are two pieces of graphite that wears down and eventually have to be replaced. #repaircafe

@uoou Yeah, I woke up to my mail client complaining that it hadn't been able to connect since about 1AM. Web interface was throwing an error after I supplied 2FA. Literally a couple minutes after I asked, the problem resolved itself.
Just throwing this out there, but does anyone happen to know of a good 찐빵 (jjinppang) recipe? I've been trying to find it for years. You'd think that for all the stores/restaurants specializing in Korean food in the area I'd have been able to find it, but no.
I'm sure I could google a recipe, but if I'm going to go to the trouble to make it (which I understand is somewhat extensive) I'd like to know I have a good recipe.
Made those (apparently) viral potato lentil burritos a couple days ago and they were amazing, so we made a giant stock pot's worth of filling to freeze in batches.
They're stupidly cheap, delicious, and really high in fibre (which we're old enough that we care about that kind of thing now).
@Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. I never trust stuff to stay online so I transcribed it (and linked the original). Here's a link in both PDF and markdown formats.
Welp, #Debian 13 is out. I wonder how long it'll take me to get around to upgrading. Every time I do, something always breaks. It's always fixable, but annoying.
Just had an appointment with my family doctor. Mostly good news, except for the fact that when we discussed finally being able to go back on #ADHD meds (which I had come off of because we were worried about them worsening another issue) he's going to want me to be re-evaluated for ADHD.
I can't wait to jump through those hoops again for the umpteenth time.
It kinda made sense when he took over for my old family doctor and my records hadn't been transferred over yet. All he had to go on was my word for it and a previous prescription bottle.
This guy hasn't liked me being on them from day one though, and has tried to get me off them on multiple occasions.
Hello diaspora*! I’m AdiposeOverclocked, new to this pod. Looking forward to meeting everyone and finding great conversations here. #newhere #firstpost #hello #community #diaspora
Haven't had McDonald's in a while, but Katy wanted it, so we got some. As a diabetic, my drink options are limited, but I opted for a sugar free cold brew coffee.
I'm shocked at how much I enjoyed it. I think I might actually like it better than the stuff I make at home. I'm kinda mad about it, actually. 🙃
Sometimes there is stuff that you can do in catering sizes, that can never be recreated at home. Or, you might want to find out what beans they are using and how they do it.
@silverwizard @Kevin Davy I get a specific brand of beans from Costco (don't remember the name but recognise the bag when I see it) and fresh grind them. I'm fortunate in that our tap water seems pretty good just on its own for hardness and so forth. The rest is just about the consistency of the measurements. (It was actually at your suggestion a while ago I started using a kitchen scale.)
I don't know that it's the best coffee in the world but given that pre-made cold brew is generally expensive and rather hit-and-miss for me, and this produces what I deem to be a consistently good cup of coffee at a fraction of the price, I've deemed it Good Enough for Me™.
@silverwizard Also, the recipe I adapted mine from said that a pitcher would keep in the fridge for up to two weeks. At first, I had no reason to doubt this because it never lasted me that long anyway.
I've since had to moderate my caffeine intake, and have learned to make less at a time because the quality seems to degrade a bit after about a week.
@Jonathan Lamothe I've made coldbrew based on your video on it, so good full circle!
Yeah, that's shocking. I find coldbrew does better sweet than a lot - was it that it had a solid creamer you're missing out in? I use a squirt of stevia syrup these days (for complex reasons invovling too much stevia)
@silverwizard That could be what it was. I usually drink my coffee black with a little sugar-free syrup. I do change the syrups up from time to time to keep it interesting, though.
@Jonathan Lamothe I think coldbrew doesn't have the same flavour pop as hot coffee (which is why I use coldbrew for "coffee flavoured milkshakes") - and so you might be disguising a lot of complexity and not filling it in.

I still don't know much about it. My partner only randomly discovered it last July, and we've been fascinated by it.
Looks like my productivity's gonna be shot for 15 days every two months. 🙃
