Gumball machines, orgasms, harmful ideologies, all-caps, lewd
NO-NUT NOVEMBER IS HERE, and this is a time for the internet's most hideously joyless people to recruit vulnerable young men into a month of zero orgasms and an Incredible Amount of exposure to the sort of ideologies that can end up separating these already vulnerable young men from their real-life support networks and indoctrinating them further into the Awful No-Cumming Cult, and so to counter this ridiculous-but-no-less-harmful-for-it farce it's time for Dan to be Horny On Main for the entire month of November and that means AN UPDATE TO THE GUMBALL MACHINE THREAD
I am UPDATING THE GUMBALL MACHINE THREAD because I remembered a Thing I Witnessed in my youth, and it's come to my attention that some of my followers aren't from the North of England but instead FOREIGN PARTS, and might be completely unaware of the knickers-for-a-nicker vending machines that festooned Blackpool promenade dispensing sexy undies for a £1 coin.
HERE. HERE, YOU HORNY NORTHERNERS. LOOK AT IT. LOOK AT IT AND SPEND THE NEXT HOUR CLEANING THE SPUNK OFF YOUR CEILINGS.
Phwoarrrrr, eh?

Make Contractors Afraid Again
On the night of November 13th we set fire to 6 Ernst Concrete trucks at 553 Seaboard Industrial Drive. Ernst is pouring the foundation for Cop City. This site, like so many others, is completely unguarded.
Front-pouring cement mixing trucks have large rear engine compartments which can be accessed without opening any doors. We placed incendiary devices and kindling near the engine block, the fuel tank behind it, and the double rear tires. We encourage further experimentation with incindiary placement.
There was a time when contractors were afraid to take on this project. If we can make the cost of the contract greater than the profit, they will drop it. Sneaking around at night is fun and burning shit is cool.
Below is the full list of Ernst sites sourced from [https://ernstconcrete.com/locations]

computer touching
Apparently a few days ago the Let's Encrypt API returned certificates which have not had the structure of three certificates (cert, intermediate, root) separated by an empty line (i.e. being able to split by double newline to get the three parts).
That's kinda weird because it happened across several servers over a span of over 24h (less than 48h tho) for four of my certificates (probably all that were renewed in that span) and it was reverted to its old state apparently.
I don't log the certificate return values, but I would've loved to see what was in there 
If anyone knows anything, please tell me, I'm curious.

Average fedi timeline:
Cat girl: meow meow meow!
FOSS guy: lol I fucked up a tool chain
Trans cat girl: Meow meow meow!
that one person on the timeline: HERE'S WHAT I'M PISSED ABOUT
Trans cat girl who is also a FOSS person: nyaaaaa
Polish old man: Każdego ranka budzę się i, cholera, te kotki. Zawsze miauczą i proszą o kolację. Ten hałas sprawia mi ból, ale dźwięk ich łap biegających po podłodze nadal rozgrzewa moje serce
(Dit gaat dus om de rechtszaak tussen BREIN en SLOV, want *uiteraard* is BREIN er weer bij betrokken...)

I know the odds are low, but the fediverse has come through for me in amazing and unexpected ways before.
For those who don't know me, I'm a 29-year-old support engineer and FOSS enthusiast, who is currently in kidney failure.
If you live in North Carolina or can travel to Duke Hospital, and would be willing to consider donating your kidney, please call 1-800-249-5864 and let them know you want to inquire about donating to Timothy Dyer (my legal name).
Thank you! (Boosts appreciated)
Heeft #BIJ1 eigenlijk een standpunt over ondertitels door hobbyisten?
In 2016 is door een rechtbank verklaard dat ondertitels door hobbyisten in de basis inbreuk maken op het auteursrecht, en dit is mij echt een doorn in het oog, gezien de belangrijke rol die zij spelen in toegankelijkheid voor doven/slechthorenden (waaronder ik) en anderstaligen.
Het lijkt me toch dat dit niet de bedoeling is van het auteursrecht, en dat het rechtgezet moet worden.
re: Amsterdam climate protest, Sara Rachdan, Greta Thunberg, propaganda, Holocaust mention
This whole incident is frankly a scathing indictment of the supposed "progressives" who immediately lose their shit as soon as they are confronted with their beloved country's involvement in ongoing colonialism
re: Amsterdam climate protest, Sara Rachdan, Greta Thunberg, propaganda, Holocaust mention
(The original source that everyone seems to be going off, by the way, is Bild; a German populist tabloid)
re: Amsterdam climate protest, Sara Rachdan, Greta Thunberg, propaganda, Holocaust mention
Also consider that this was all *specifically* in the context of how the situation in Gaza is really bad. I can really only explain this as deliberate propaganda, not just a simple misunderstanding.
Amsterdam climate protest, Sara Rachdan, Greta Thunberg, propaganda, Holocaust mention
So after seeing various Dutch media post extremely poorly-sourced articles (well, let's just call it what it is - propaganda) about the incident at the Amsterdam climate protest, I finally had time to look into what actually happened.
The claims: Sara Rachdan is a "Hamas supporter", a "terrorist friend", and "trivializing the Holocaust".
The actual evidence: Sara Rachdan drawing parallels between what happened in the Holocaust and what is happening in Gaza, eg. comparing the death tolls and circumstances.
Now there's two ways to interpret that: either you assume the Holocaust was horrible, and so by extension she claims that what's happening in Gaza is also horrible.
Or you assume that what's happening in Gaza is Not That Bad, actually, and therefore by extension that must mean she claims that the Holocaust also wasn't that bad.
And well, if you look at the reporting in the Dutch media, you can very easily tell that they went with the second interpretation - and I think that pretty much says everything I need to know about these claims, and the people spreading them.
To share a translation of the final question in the survey I just got, about "getting information about station services":
"Can you suggest any place or format that this facility information should be available in? It does not need to exist yet, be creative"
TL;DR I get the impression that they actually give a shit about the results, and they aren't just trying to make the KPIs go up
I certainly have my complaints about the Dutch railways, but I do appreciate the surveys they send out; they're quite in-depth (in a good way) and always explicitly leave room for submitting new ideas to improve things at stations. I rarely feel like there's no place to communicate a specific frustration/compliment.
Also, bonus points for occasionally getting sneak peeks of new train interior designs 🙃
