I'm now noticing #OrangePill has been used by the bitcoin crowd. Whatever, sucks to be them, it'll be recycled for something more useful.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQhzEnWCgHA To me the price talk is just an argument for never leaving my home, maybe I'm just a #cheapskate. #Cars are too expensive and so are good #bikes (although 2nd-hand refurbs seem decent...). Just get everything delivered and never leave again, I guess.

But anyway, the point is that it has a much lower cost of ownership than cars and is practical in cities (particularly with proper infrastructure) which is true.

I came across this interesting article (https://libreboot.org/news/policy.html) by the #libreboot project about #LibreHardware or #FreeHardware regarding the shortcomings of the #RYF as well as the #FSDG and the uses of CPU #microcode.

Modern hardware is broken and unfortunately tradeoffs are needed, but also those criteria misunderstand a number of evolving technical details.

#CableLacing is a pretty neat way to do #CableManagement.

Just some waxed cord, some #knots and some nice cable runs as a result.

A few examples I like are attached.

Some of them are sourced from r/Cableporn for the #CablePorn.

It's both amusing and sad.

(Yes I'm mostly commenting on a short timestamp, the rest of the video is just neat nerdy stuff.)

Is there a way to get all the #media (Image) content via #ActivityPub requests from a given actor's outbox that doesn't involve enumerating the actor's entire outbox?

I'm looking to do it via the #ActivityPub public access as I don't want to have to bind the output to any given implementation's API.

Boiling #vegetables is generally a sign you don't know how to cook, with a few exceptions including but not limited to hard roots & starches.

The vast majority are far more palatable steamed or wok-fried than boiled.

Canned vegetables, with a few exceptions, suffer from the canning process and the result will always be subpar.

Frozen vegetables should be thawed prior to cooking for best results.

So, with that mess with #Rogers in #Canada, I wonder if that might finally kill the Rogers/Shaw merger that everyone sane considered to be a horrible idea constraining the #ISP resilience/redundancy even more in #Canada.

The state of #telecom #infrastructure in #Canada is just sad.

Reminder that https://torrentfreak.com/reddits-r-piracy-deleting-almost-10-years-of-history-to-avoid-ban-190407/ this bullshit is still happening (that practice has been extended to other less contentious topics and isn't limited to Reddit) and @publicvoit's point is still right (https://karl-voit.at/2020/10/23/avoid-web-forums/)

Dans le genre chansons déprimantes qui relatent des problèmes pour lesquels absolument rien n'a été fait et que la catastrophe ne fait que se rapprocher, je nomine "Plus Rien" du groupe "Les Cowboys Fringants". (https://genius.com/Les-cowboys-fringants-plus-rien-lyrics)

L'on se précipite tous gaiement vers le vide, l'abîme, pour le profit de quelques parasites corporatistes mégalomaniaques.

Non mais sérieusement, pourquoi rien n'a-t-il été fait?

Did you know that #Canada's government site supports proper #WebSyndication like #RSS #feeds to share their announcements and news?

https://open.canada.ca/en/rss-feeds

I certainly prefer this to having to monitor their various news pages manually or use a TV (which I do not own.)

Amusing mention of #Netscape in the #WebBrowsers.

I do notice however that they actively did try to list #Linux options for #FeedReaders and #FeedAggregators. The linked listing needs some love though.
