Dear Mastodon instance admins,

Palestinians are facing genocide and famine.

If there is a Palestinian account from Gaza on your instance and it is *not* exhibiting bot-like behaviour PLEASE AT LEAST CONTACT ME before limiting/suspending it so @joynewacc and I can attempt to verify them by having a video chat with them on Signal and adding them to Gaza Verified:

gaza-verified.org

Blocking the accounts of Palestinians in Gaza on the fediverse is like repeatedly slamming the door in the face of Anne Frank.

Please have some humanity.

Also, if your server is a safe space for Palestinians from Gaza, please respond and let me know and I’ll add you to the list at gaza-verified.org/guide/

Gaza Verified

I’ve personally had video conversations on Signal with the people from Gaza whose Mastodon accounts on the fediverse are listed here and I verify that their accounts are genuine. – Aral Balkan

No such thing as late. I’m limiting it to Mastodon instances just to keep things simple for everyone at the moment but I’ve bookmarked this if we get to a point where we have the bandwidth to support Lemmy also 😀

Really appreciate your support and I might have had a little chuckle at one of the posts on the anarchist.nexus server ;)

All Palestinians and anti-fascist allies are welcome on freefree.ps/about

We have a "Galaxy" plan with masto.host, with elastic search.

It's mostly just me moderating, and sometimes I take social media breaks from reading the home feed but I always check the server multiple times daily for reports, new user requests, DMs, and mentions.

If anyone wants to help, or would like a freefree.ps subdomain to operate a new fediverse server, I am open to that!

@autistics

For those of you who may not know. It would appear as if the Guppe groups are down for good. Apparently the bloke who ran it got knifed in the back by the domain being sold to another ahead of schedule and before he could renew it. Whether he will be able to get it back up and running in another way, I don't know.
Fedigroups run a similar service, for those interested. I tagged the autistic one above. about.fedigroups.social/home
I'm not sure how widespread this information about the Guppe groups is yet. But, for those of you who us it a lot, whether for autism, or anything else, it may not be the worst idea to post something similar to this to your followers and help spread the word.

Instacart gripe

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.

Per the help doc for org-agenda

"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.

"Sideloading" is the rentseeker word for "being able to run software of your choosing on a computing device you purchased". There is no reasonable case for an operating system developer having a say over what programs you run on your hardware.

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.

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

I would love it if people had the same level of "Wikipedia isn't always right, you know" skepticism about... literally all other sources, regardless of context.

It's so weird how for decades most people around me were like "whoa, gotta be careful, can't trust wikipedia" and now many of those same people are taking whatever AI cooks up hook, line, & sinker.

I'm beginning to think it was never about actual info quality or actual critical thinking.

What can I say. I'm good at what I do.

Actually, I have no clue. One thing I have noticed about gamerplus.org

When I want to make an external link to a post, first I click on the post and I get something that looks like

gamerplus.org/deck/@me@social.…

Which might not work. But if I take /deck out

gamerplus.org/@me@social.jlamo…

It works.

Let me know if either or both of these work for you.

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).

I am happy.

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.

@actuallyautistic

A couple of posts today made me think about the connection between masking and imposter syndrome, especially for those of us who have realised late that we are autistic. I have long believed that there are essentially two aspects to the way that we masked. Masking ourselves from the world and masking ourselves from ourselves and that both of these contributed to being able to stay below the radar of realising what we were for so long. But, perhaps, the most important one, was not the face we showed the world, mostly because I doubt if that was ever as good as we thought it was, but the mirror we learnt to see ourselves in.

That internal masking of ourselves can take many forms.

I thought it was just me.

But, everyone does it this way.

No one else is bothered, or even seems to be noticing. I must be just imagining it, or too sensitive. It can't be real.

I've tried talking about it, but no one took me seriously, they thought I was joking. It's obviously just me. I really must be broken, or mad.

I can't see myself anywhere, I can't be right.

I can't be this way, no one else is.

I must be wrong.

And so much else...

So much of it is denial and disbelieve, as much as anything, and it doesn't go away once we begin to realise the truth. It doesn't magically lose its power. It has to be faced and defeated as a deliberate act of de-masking, that, perhaps, never really ends, because we've carried and tended to it for too long. And, all the time, it is a voice of doubt and so-called reason in our minds that can fuel our imposter syndrome. That can make us doubt our journey, our revelations, our truth. Because that was always its job. It is the reason we created it. To mask ourselves from the truth. Because, it wasn't the truth we saw, or were able to accept.

This isn't to say, by any means, that it is the only bone our imposter syndrome will chew on. But, for those of us who are late realising our truth, it is perhaps a particularly meaty one. Because it has been with us for so long, our only answer to the darkness we lived in and the only world we could see.

@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.
