Pretty much every infosec person i know has given up reporting phishing sites because 99% of them are behind CloudFlare / CloudFlare domains. CloudFlare takes weeks to respond, will leak your info to the abusers and sometimes not even do anything.

@smveerman we had a night train leave 2 hours early without any passengers, although according to the info sign it might have been the previous day's train delayed by 1320 minutes.

Something odd is happening with my Bean plants.
A few days ago, I saw a housefly on one of my bean vines, and it didn’t fly away. Brain went ‘thats odd’, and filed it away to be forgotten.
Each day since, I’ve noticed a housefly in the exact same place. Today, the fly was decomposing, so I looked around all my bean plants, and there seems to be quite a few flies stuck like this. The only conclusion I can come to is that Bean plants must be somewhat carnivorous, but I can’t find any info?

slightly irritated, software packaging (2)
And like, it's not that things like package size or redundancy don't matter - it's just that if someone uses the word 'bloat', they almost certainly don't have a sufficiently concrete concern to be actionable, because if they did, they would be describing that concern instead of a vague hand-wavy term like 'bloat'
slightly irritated, software packaging
I've gotten into a habit of just completely ignoring anyone in a software packaging discussion who uses the term 'bloat' and it has done wonders for my ability to actually work towards solutions instead of chasing ill-specified ghosts

"You get more conservative when you get older" only really worked for the generations that got RICHER as they got older.
The real truth was always just "You get more selfish the more money you have".

The best experience you can have while traveling by train is when you have to change trains
Your train arrives at the station
And the next train is already there, waiting on the opposite edge of the same platform
Feels magical

Fedi hot take: it should be possible to share deltas to blocklists, allowlists, reputation info, tag moderation, etc. through standardized attachments on regular fucking posts. Fediblock posts should have some JSON stapled to them that my admin UI can recognize, review, and offer to merge into my own config, with an annotation for the source. CSVs don't carry enough context, AP activities are hideously fluid and not adequate for this task.
Slight correction: Linux drivers *do* exist, but not in the kernel; there's some random person's repository that contains out-of-tree drivers which, according to them, "are not official and are hacked together from other Realtek drivers"
@bananas Oh yes that is *exactly* what it means
Guess who now has a comically oversized USB Bluetooth dongle with massive antenna that provides wireless headphone coverage through the whole house?
(It's technically a WiFi 6 dongle with Bluetooth 5.3 support on the side (or rather "Wireless 5.3" support, in the manufacturer's words), but there's no Linux drivers for the WiFi part, only for the Bluetooth part...)

Literally 9/10 of the people accused of being a secret trans person beating up on "poor defenseless women" at the Olympics is a Black/African cis or intersex woman
But sure sure, the idea of proper womanhood isn't an inherently racialized one
@Sinegrave @so_treu Here you go: https://sci-hub.se/https://doi.org/10.1037/ppm0000096 (note: this is technically piracy).

@colinstu I generally recommend people to pick a project they want to build, turn it into a series of increasingly complex steps, and start with the absolute simplest version of it. I've done a lot of professional tutoring (heavily self-directed) and that's the only thing I've found to work reliably for people.
For example, the final goal may be building fedi software like Mastodon, but the absolute simplest version is "page that shows a bit of text", then it becomes "page that shows a bit of text *from a database*", and so on, until eventually some day you might get to full-fledged fedi software, having learned a lot along the way.
This doesn't help if you can't find a project you want to do, of course, but I've noticed that a lot of people (sometimes subconsciously) try to limit themselves to "simple enough" projects, when really it can work with a project of *any* complexity, as long as you treat it as a learning project you may never actually finish.
I don't know if that applies in your case; if not, then my suggestion is probably equivalent to what you were already considering, and can be safely ignored :)
re: unsolicited opinion
@joshix @benaryorg @lea@lea.pet @jessew This wouldn't have been possible; XMPP MUCs are centralized and that's not really acceptable usability-wise in a federated system where any one individual instance has a low assurance of sticking around, because if an instance dies for any reason your entire community is gone
