So far I’ve received seven separate emails and a phone call about my Curry’s order placed yesterday, fully expect a barrage insisting I review the product, the delivery driver, and Curry’s in general as well.

@gsuberland I’ve owned computers was less hard disk space than that.

Shout out to the Curry’s warranty sales person who hung up the moment the words “no thanks” came out of my mouth. Neither of us wanted to be on that call, and you respected that.

@Edent strong preference for left aligned. It’s what an auto-formatter will do, and means that when you add key of a different length the diff doesn’t suddenly show your actual new value and a bunch of unrelated changes to the surrounding lines.

Upgraded the CPU and GPU in my gaming computer so now I’m not going to need to turn the heating on this winter.

@monsoonrains @anon_opin I’m 6’2”, and can tell you premium economy is the tall person tax.

“Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot”. Fuck you, buddy. I’m the human here, you’re a poorly trained model which can’t work out that I’m the same person I always am on this device.

I had a long list of plans for this evening. Instead I watched several hours of YouTube videos by a guy circumnavigating mainland Britain in a tiny speed boat. I regret nothing.

@mw1cgg I’ve already found them all over the years, now I can actually fix them!

Just bought the flat I’ve been renting since 2020, time for me to enter my DIY era.

Sinking deeper into the flight simulation rabbit hole I did my first flight with rudder pedals just now. That’s going to take getting used to, and I landed super hard because I had my feet on the brakes when I touched down.

@realgamingleaks not so sure about this one given it’s a Mario Party.

No, Flight Simulator, I did not “crash the plane into the water”. I landed it in the water slightly fast.

The NTSB merely want to know why I deployed the water rudder at 70mph, and that was entirely because I had no idea what I was doing.

@pikesley welcome darkness my old friend. (All the lights just turned off due to an interaction between three different automations)

@anon_opin sure Bob, wouldn’t want to distract you from scrolling through your TikTok feed.

People on busses

@pikesley yes, but these jobs come without any benefits or fixed hours you can rely on. What a world we live in.

@Tarah every time I’ve done this it would have been enough for me to hand over the phone to someone who sounds vaguely like a woman and have them say “yes, I’m X, he’s got my permission”.

@anon_opin it’s the bottles that are hyping you up that get me. “Keep on going!”

Mate, you’re drinking some water, not climbing Everest.

I think it's time for a reread of "I am not your supplier"

>What it means is that there is no supply chain here. Because there is no supplier. I am not providing you something that you bought from me. There is no relationship. I put something online because I wanted to. The fact you made your product depend on it is your responsibility. Not mine. Not the one of the providers. We provide libraries. We do not supply them. You cannot apply rules to me.

Or in meme form

@screaminggoat @jerry we could even put some sort of electronic device below the skin at the back of their neck, ensuring the information is always readable by anyone with an easily obtainable reader.

@Kierkegaanks @fesshole but… why? What harm is someone doing by claiming they spunked in the kitchen sofa?

Also so many of the Didn’t Happen crew will deploy it against the most pedestrian fesses.

I’d like to set up a website that authenticates users in such a way that a single person can’t (trivially) sign up more than once, but I don’t see any personal details beyond an anonymous ID. Absolute guarantees that that user hasn’t registered before aren’t needed, but there should be enough friction to put people off. Think Twitter accounts, not passports. I absolutely do not want to deal with email.

Is OIDC really the best option here?

@an0key two physically separate networks, both on 192.168.1.0/24, there’s no real reason for them to be separate even, just a new set of contractors came in and installed all new hardware instead of using the existing network.
