is there like a list of computer hardware stuff outside of pcpartpicker's categories? pcie cards for example are excessively lacking on pcpartpicker

(i know how to build a computer)

Heb ik volgers die zich bezighouden met de front-end van veel bezochte Nederlandse websites én affiniteit hebben het beperken van energieverbruik van het totale internet?

My own testing has shown it outperforms the others *and* doesn’t box you into weird licenses and questionable leadership promises.

i FUCKING HATE doctors. if you're not willing to operate on fat patients don't become a fucking doctor.

angry at fatphobia 

my sister has been desperately dieting and losing weight and has lost 63.5kg over the course of a year and she booked a consultation for some cosmetic surgery, video consult, doctor said it was fine and she should drive from Wales to Birmingham to get this done. she gets there today, sees another doctor who tells her she's *too fat to get the surgery* and then slams the door in her face when she starts crying.

@mariusor Right, I understand what you mean now. Assuming we're looking at the same sibling comment, there are indeed options in Node.js to get an equivalent deployment experience; eg. the built-in experimental SEA thing (nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/sin) or the older vercel/pkg tool.

@mariusor Hmm, where are you seeing the additional effort being involved? As there's no real operational cost to a dependency being involved, since that's typically handled by the package manager automatically.

Or are you thinking of the "no package manager, only run binaries directly on the system" case specifically?

Huh, got a 'data processing notice' e-mail from a B2B marketing / "contact database" company telling me that my freelance site had been indexed, and... they seem to actually be seriously trying to follow the GDPR in spirit?

Apparently they delete data from their database when it disappears off company sites, and they have a *very* long document explaining in detail why they feel there's "legitimate interest" and it's actually a credible argument ("you made a company site to market your company, and our business directory has the same goal").

Didn't think I'd ever see this.

@mariusor No, I'm genuinely trying to understand what you mean here. To me, there's no relation between "deploying on bare metal" and choice of language at all, so I feel like I must be either missing or misunderstanding something.

Where is that post that goes "I fucked up my repo so bad" and then it's an infographic of the Christian denominations schisming and branching off of one another

25 jaar geleden was 13 mei een zaterdag en net zulk prachtig weer als vandaag. Vijf jaar geleden schreef ik op wat ik die dag zag, hoorde, voelde, en deed. Vanochtend las ik het terug en rolden toch weer tranen over mijn wangen. Het was een dag die voorgoed in mijn lijf bleef wonen.

@mariusor @hongminhee I'm not sure I follow - why would this be any different for Node.js?

it's an interesting question, like, I often say I don't like technology but it's more accurate to say the technology I would love doesn't exist, globally our societies prioritise the opposite of what I would want. the closest that humanity got to my definition of "progress" is indigenous agroforestry and the environmental technology of free peoples (defined as State-less societies), which was way more sophisticated than most people give credit for; but that line of technology was cut short by, uh, genocide.

like, my high-tech music medium, or any other technological item, would have the properties of:

- transparency/discoverability. being understandable without complex equipment. as a test: if an archaeologist uncovered an intact object centuries in the future, would they stand a chance of decoding how to use it with zero other information? (you can make a vinyl record play music with a rose thorn, for example. )

- ethics. are the materials needed for the technology part of a circular economy? does it cause damage to human or non-human communities to produce the items? does it share reciprocity with microbial, insect, plant ecosystems?

- durability. will it last at least a couple human lifetimes? if not, is it easily repaired or copied?

market-based societies incentivise against all 3 properties, so I'll never experience what a high-tech society in my terms could be.

@mariusor @hongminhee What does "deployed straight to bare metal" mean here exactly?

Tijdens de demo van zaterdag verbasterde een van ons de leus; hoe laat is het, solidariteit. Nadat men hoe laat is het riep. Antwoorde een van ons met twaalf over een. Meedere anarchisten pikte deze verbastering op en riepen vrolijke mee.

Een socialist met een roeptoeter vroeg om uitleg.
Twaalf over een? vroegt ie
Twaalf over een in de middag antwoorde we
Huh?

Ah zo, oke.

Voor #ThickTrunkTuesday deze boomstomp, dit restant van een boom. Je kunt er doorheen kijken, en alleen de bast geeft nog aan dat de boom (voor zijn plek) behoorlijk stevig was; het binnenwerk is vermolmd. Naast luchtig, zitten er ook prachtige zwammen op. Een fikse dot tegenlicht maakt de foto hier en daar wat overbelicht.

Definitely one of the most underrated aspects of a long running mod project like Tamriel Rebuilt is that it kinda becomes a haven for art that is being made with hardly any concern for deadlines or schedules. They have a general cadence they try to keep to, but it seems they often go back over old content to make sure everything is up to standard. Quality first.

“Just stay home” is not a public health strategy.

Non disabled people were livid during stay at home orders. They found the idea of being forced to stay home unpalatable, yet they’re only too happy to demand the disabled do it for the rest of our lives.

Clean air & masking make spaces accessible.
