Okay but what if we used the trade war as a pretext to pivot the entire country away from the current automobile hellscape by massive investment in public transit
Newly pre-sown indoors: cherry tomatoes, chard, eggplant, garden peas, lettuce, French beans.
Also planted out my opportunistic pumpkin plants. Scattered a bunch of old seeds salvaged from a supermarket pumpkin a while ago, surprisingly they have all turned into plants! Let's see if they survive their relocation into my front garden, and will actually bear fruit.
(It's fine if they don't; they'll still provide ground cover, and I currently don't have anything else planned for the front garden anyway)
You know those shaped-plastic blister packages that a lot of products are sold in, filling up your plastic waste bin? Here's an easy way to (partly) reuse them if you have a vegetable garden! All you need is scissors and some way to label things.
A lot of this style of packaging has large rectangular flat areas of plastic; almost always on the back of the package, sometimes areas on the front too. Find all of them and cut them out, so you're left with a stack of flat, rectangular(-ish) pieces of plastic.
Then just cut those rectangles into strips of about 5-10cm. They don't need to be cut nicely, they just serve as posts for your labels! Then either print labels and stick them on or, alternatively, write on them with a thin permanent marker.
Now you have tags for your plants, without needing to buy a bunch of new plastic ones!
Doing lots of sowing of plants today. Window sills are getting full!
@gsuberland@chaos.social So, funny thing, neither have I, I think! It doesn't seem to be generally available in stores here. I'll be planting it this year, though.
@silvermoon82 I've heard of something similar being used as a pretext for scams, fwiw.

Today Google bricked my Chromebook by force-installing a hidden extension that trains a machine vision model on the contents of my screen without my consent, making the whole machine too hot to touch, and I am once again begging someone, anyone, to remove Chrome from Google by any means necessary.
Sowieso moet het eens klaar zijn met die visexpedities ("grote veiligheidscontroles") van politie. Het zal ongetwijfeld goed zijn voor het boetequotum, maar het doet nul komma niks voor de structurele veiligheid en fungeert vooral als manier voor agenten om eens even lekker los te gaan met hun macht.

that may be your experience, but the stopped clock machine has been right or close enough in my personal testing and the benchmarks

My new hobby: when I see a white dude (yes, he's always white, and always a dude) whining about people being wrong for blocking people too much, I block him.
Block blockity.
Chard is a magical vegetable, it seems. Its leaves substitute spinach, its stems substitute asparagus and such, you can continuously harvest it and it just regrows, the planting is "whatever, as long as there's vaguely some sun somewhere", and in some cases it'll even continue growing through winter
"Zo'n honderd controleurs van de NS en politiemensen hebben donderdag meegedaan aan een grote veiligheidscontrole. [...] Hij stapt op de trein naar Vlissingen en komt bij controles van alles tegen. "Bedelaars, [...]"
Dit soort shit is dus wat mensen bedoelen met "criminaliseren van armoede". Of je ondersteunt die mensen eens, in plaats van ze als 'veiligheidsprobleem' te behandelen. Klootzakken.

Kijk eens aan de @gemeenteamsterdam is lekker bezig: https://www.amsterdam.nl/nieuws/nieuwsoverzicht/digitale-onafhankelijkheid/
Zaten er maar meer onderdelen van de gemeente op hun mastodon server. 🙏
@navi Right. The 'correct' way to handle this sort of thing would be to do 'rolling' migrations, in that upon auth, the password gets re-hashed with the currently-default algorithm and stored. But almost nobody actually implements that. It's annoying.
@navi The simpler solution would be to just use argon2id, tbh, which is a better option than bcrypt in basically every respect
@navi ... aha. Previously it was stored in plaintext.
@navi I'm really curious now what they are migrating *from*, exactly...
(The 72 character limit is actually a limit of bcrypt itself and I'm not really sure why they're migrating *to* bcrypt in 2025)

Any tech that 80% works, but is 15% meh, and 5% catastrophic will fill the air with overwhelmingly positive case studies, the "meh" crowd won't be motivated to say anything because they think they're the exception, and the rest will be too busy digging themselves out of the rubble to say much if anything
