ph/mh (venting)

So, I've had this recent medical condition that we're trying to get a handle on. Of course, my doctor is pointing to the #ADHD meds I've been on for years without issue as the culprit. I saw that coming from a mile away.

He was unable to suggest an alternative.

ph, food

So, I think I figured out why my glucose levels (which had been improving) are spiking again. I got these protein bars to snack on that say they have 3g of sugar. Looking more closely at the label, they actually have a bunch of other stuff that breaks down into sugar as well.

That's unfortunate. They were tasty.

Dianea the problem is that protein bars have a fair amount of fiber (many have up to 5g of it). Fiber alone does NOT solve the problem of glucose spikes.


Okay, I'll bite.

What's with all the ../ memes for the past few weeks or so? I get that not sanitizing input for this is a serious security vulnerability, but it's such an elementary exploit that I don't understand why it suddenly seems to be all the rage. What's next? SQL injections? Buffer overflows?

I assume some big company made this mistake recently and I just wasn't paying attention?

@silverwizard That's... terrifying. Were they all in the same product, or is it a widespread thing?
in reply to Jonathan Lamothe

@Jonathan Lamothe widespread. I'm being hyperbolic with 20, but people in infosec are starting to question if firewalls are even a viable product these days due to vendor malfeasance.


The #Inkvent calendar we ordered and which has been stuck in the postal strike finally arrived. We're just going to open three a day until we're caught up.

we have a local store selling them. 👍 There are some interesting compositions in there, looking forward to try them out.

@fedops 💙💛 We have a local store that carries them too. Sadly, I didn't learn they existed until after they'd sold out.


Because I have a habit of misplacing things, I have a rule where my glasses are concerned: on my face or in the case.*

This rule does not help me so much when I misplace the case itself.

* This also serves to prevent me from leaving my glasses somewhere that they might be damaged.

My partner found my reading glasses in a tree 24 hours later... 🤦 Have just invested in varifocals in a bid to use your tactics. It's only become an issue since needing a separate pair for reading. ADHD tax is real.
in reply to Jonathan Lamothe

I usually find mine on top of my head.. until last week when was using them to look with ;)


I also finally got around to picking up the part I needed to fix the toilet. No more flushing with an improvised rip cord.

oooh, an Emacs blog post! Is it okay if I add jlamothe.net/blog/feed.atom to planet.emacslife.com so that it's easy for people to discover your future blog posts? I can add an Emacs-specific feed instead if you happen to have one (or want to make one).

ah, it's infrequent enough that I don't mind if other topics get in there. 😀 Thanks for sharing what you're learning!
