I mean....

Steam? Maybe? I dunno, I don't game but the Steam kids seem to prefer Arch. I'm sure they have their reasons.

Practically? Probably nothing terribly significant.

As someone on semaglutide therapy, I can share that a large calorie deficit hits you in the wills to live. At some point even just eating feels like a stop at the gas station to fuel up, and it hardly matters whether it's 87 or 95 octane. Hell, rancid fry oil would even work. At some point, you stop caring whether you eat because it feels like another chore.

Eventually your metabolism syncs up again with your energy demand and you start getting interested in food, except you're way more selective about how you're (edit: ~~spending~~) acquiring those calories. I almost can't abide by junk food, fast food, or breaded fried crap anymore. But neither do I want salad or vegetables because they're "fluffy." Too much volume, not enough calories. I want about 6 or 10 forks full of food, and then that's it. And it'd best taste good, or I can't be bothered. Restaurants easily stop looking like a good deal.

Anyway that's a digest of my diary for the last 22 months. Do with the info as you will.

Your alternatives aren't shelf stable. That's all there is to it.

You, uh... You do a newsletter?

Are you looking for a system that is strictly motion sensors, or do you have a smart assistant that supports other wireless protocols than Wifi?

My strategy as a home assistant user has been to lean on smart switches and dumb bulbs to the extent that I can, so that I can locally control fixtures without having to rely on the assistant being awake and healthy. I do have a few instances where I have dumb switches and smart bulbs, but only where I also want to control the light colors and where the bulb is controlled right at the fixture.

That said, there does appear to be a tasmota 3-pole switch by Martin Jerry on Amazon. You'd probably just replace one of your 3-pole switches with the Tasmota and leave the other switch alone. You could pick up one of the Everything Smarthome presence kits and use that for your motion sensor.

Hope any of this helps!

When you simmer or slow roast tomato sauce over several hours, the sugars in the tomato release and caramelize which helps to offset acidity. If you're finding the cooked sauce is still acidic, you can try adding other sweet vegetables such as finely grated carrot, sweet onion, or half of a raw potato (which you'd remove before serving).

That they pack your tomatoes with lemon might mean you need to actively neutralize the extra acids, which you can do with milk or cream, or just a little baking soda as you suggest. Probably not more than a pinch, though, or the sauce could lose its brightness.

For me it depends in whether the publisher has a .deb file available or not. If there's a downloadable deb file, I just install that through apt/dpkg.

I try not to use custom repos anymore because they rarely keep up with the named releases and can introduce library conflicts.

If I can only get a tarball of the precompiled binary then I'll unpack it in /opt and drop a soft link to the main binary in /usr/local/bin. This is how I handle Firefox and Thunderbird at least.

Otherwise, there's containers (Unif controller, for example) and flatpacks as a last resort.

I personally hate building and installing from source, but I'll do that if I absolutely have to.

 

Watch!

*gulp*

 
 

I'd imagine they fake an American accent. Maybe Burbank, CA?

Turns out the Live CD install for HAOS on x86_64 is broken. It seems to hang forever on the Grow Swap boot task. Workaround is so write the image direct to boot media. Ugh, I dont feel like moving droves around for bare metal installs.

Where there's a network there's a way;

target system (debian netinst iso in rescue mode)
nc -l 192.168.1.189:19000 | dd bs=16M of=/dev/sda

source system
dd bs=16M if=haos_generic-x86_64-19.4.img | nc 192.168.1.189 19000

Disclosure: I am not an applications programmer. I work lower down the stack.

Jerboa (really, AOSP keyboard or more likely WebKit) has an annoying spell checker bug where backspacing and cursor based text editing mangle surrounding words and phrases.

When I type in a field in Jerboa (this body text), an autocomplete-like underline appears ubder each incomplete word until I hit space. If I hit space and then backspace too rapidly (as if the spell check can't finish analyzing the new token before the next key event), the space before the preceding token gets underlined and then all hell breaks loose. I have to stop, hit space or newline, and then proceed backspacing m o r e s l o w l y.

A workaround might be to include an attribute, android:inputType="textNoSuggestions" in the form elements to disable AOSP/WebKit native spell checks

I'd submit a PR myself, but as I said, I'm not an app programmer.

Anyone who has any experience with this wanna partner up to help debug what I'm talking about?

I should add.... This isn't strictly a Jerboa thing. Many WebKit apps seem to display this behavior. (E.g., Firefox for Android, Tinfoil for Facebook, etc.) Its just more noticeable in Jerboa because of the length of text entry

 

Edit: apparently not. See below.

~~I've been following the status of my own reddit profiles since I deleted my contributions on Monday & Tuesday of this week. I used a browser script to download and then edit my comments, and upon a second pass to delete them. I operated primarily on two accounts I still hold.

Today I, like many of you, was surprised to see a lot of my original, unedited comments back on my accounts. After several hours I re-ran the browser edit/delete cycle and upon review found more unedited and undeleted comments, yet no revived posts from the last pass. This piqued my curiousity. If there had been a restore, it seemed incomplete and it missed my submitted content.

My day continued: check in on the profiles, edit and then delete some posts, go outside a minute. I began noticing a pattern, that new crops of zombie posts would occur on both accounts at the same time, and were always from the same subreddits. I would delete them, and they seem to be staying deleted. I have yet to delete any one comment twice that I have noted, and I am looking.

Those are my observations. As to my theory, I think if you manipulated comments of you're on a subreddit while it was locked or restricted, that those changes are cached until the subreddit unlocks. At some point either caches got flushed, changes timed out, or I was getting to my own content before the cache worker did. (For all I know that worker is some poor, unpaid mod-slave). Anyway, I think the cached changes got lost, and the subs reopening reasserted hidden content.

Tl;dr, It amounts to a protocols nuance on the back end. Pitchforks on standby, this isn't the strawman we were looking for.

Epilogue:

B- b- but solidgrue you fucking apologist, why you defend Reddit so???

I'm not trying to defend reddit, egads no. Reddit is doing some shady shit lately on the PR front. While I wouldn't put restoring deleted content past them, they have lawyers who would have pointed out how EXCEPTIONALLY a bad an idea that would have been. There are compelling arguments under GDPR and the US CDA section 230 regarding ownership and "content provider" that discourage this. Rather, I want to acknowledge that we Rexxitors are leaving, and leaving angrily. Reddit's management is already playing the Us vs. Them angle. It'd be an unforced error on our side to run with the Restored Content angle too hard when it's a mundanely reddit infrastructure problem.

We'll need credibility when they drop old.reddit.com, and NSFW content from their mobile app~~

(Edits: sloppy editing)

Edit 2: theory refuted. Standing down. I has asked earlier about pre-blackout edits & deletes but got no answers. Now we know.
