A friend of ours brought us a plate of cookies like, a year ago, and there was a Pikachu on the plate. He has been a little obsessed with every single Pikachu he's seen since, and sometimes just wants to see Pikachu.
Pikachu was basically the great piece of Brand ever.

I love making playdough with the kids, because you can do any colour trivially (at least with the food colouring we have 😅) and it makes so much! We were out of cream of tartar but the internet tells me vinegar works well in replacement

Why has no one made a deck umbrella with solar panels and a USB outputting battery?
Igni (Lars) (he/him) reshared this.
Yeah - the modifications are probably:
Upgrade the battery
Upgrade the panels
Add a control board for 2-3 USBA ports and USBC-PD port

So my theory was:
3 panels that can be folded into a single rectangle, per panel of the antenna.
Cord from the panels to a base. The base containing the battery, and the USB ports.

If you are going to try out Mastodon, try and avoid mastodon.social and mastodon.cloud. They are far too large and have far too few moderators. That is often why the ham-handed moderation incidents happen.

Authentik aims to be a one stop solution as it comes with LDAP built in plus OIDC. That said it's fairly unproven in larger deployments so the code isn't battle tested unlike say FreeIPA. Lots of folks use it in #homelab and are happy with it. Personally I've got FreeIPA setup and will be deploying authentik later.

Seriously though, the term Exit in businesses is one of the most horrifying parts of modern capitalism.
You don't build a business to be a good business, you build a business to run until you find a way to squeeze all the money out as raw cash.

TIL that my instance advertises its block list and block reason.
Lol - the number of times I just put "Fuck 'Em" in there.
Though the one time I just used "vibes" is pretty funny

I care about building community, but holy cow is it hard when you have two busy littles and you only have time AND energy to post or read posts in short intervals like once every few days. Plus I keep liking posts with the intent to respond but then I get caught up with life and forget. It all gets a lil intense sometimes

Just finished dropping off one of Shæ's favourite toddler books (and my personal favourite), Little Blue Truck, to 9 different little free libraries in the area 😊❤️ #BuildingCommunity #LittleFreeLibrary
This is the logical explanation but it made little sense to me. Did you buy them specifically to drop them off or did you just have 9 copies lying around?
Becky likes this.
Oh, yeah, I suppose I didn't explain very well
A few weeks ago we went around to these little free libraries and chose some books for Shæ to read, but most of them had few, if any, toddler books. So I chose my favourite toddler book that Shæ also loved and bought a bunch of copies for the sole purpose of putting in the little free libraries for other toddler parents
Today, they arrived and I brought the kids with me to deliver them

Hi! I'm Becky! 🤗
I draw Helicopter Death (see my profile pic), who's been my pet character since grade 3, I love to #paint, I sometimes write #essays when I think of them and I love doing #research, especially on #bipolar but also on other topics which cross my mind.
I live with bipolar and I think #adhd, so I post about that a lot, and other mental health things. I also post a lot about my kids and random things I think are cool or interesting. Likely sometimes politics. Maybe some lgbtq+ (I'm bi and demi)...
I know things about #memory and #psychopathology too, as those are very interesting areas for me and I've done seminars when I was in undergrad (plus I started grad school in clinical psychology but I never finished)
Adjacently, I'm married to @silverwizard so sometimes I talk about tech stuff too, if a topic comes up between us that sits with me
Nice to meet you all 😊

Being a vegetarian is weird because I often forget I am a vegetarian, but everyone acts like I talk about it too much
It's mostly that I think people who aren't vegetarian feel judged by vegetarians, so when they find out they get super defensive and then it's weird
I've heard that before. Ian Danskin (Innuendo Studios) has a great old video on why people get weird around people who live differently to the mainstream and he also concludes that they feel judged by the existence of people who chose a different path from them.

Accidentally tarpitted prof's office hours by asking a question about one of the assignment problems. Turns out the obvious approach gives a non-physical result and he can't figure out why.
This sort of thing just follows me around, I'm not trying to cause trouble, I swear.

Does not follow the laws of physics. In this case, the electric field has a nonzero curl even though there are no changing magnetic fields, which violates Maxwell's Equations.
(If any physics nerds want details, I can give a description of the problem and why the result is non-physical, but I'll hold off on that until somebody asks.)

Different body of work. The daemons prefer the habitat on the thermodynamics side, this is E&M.

Based on what the prof said today, it sounds like I accidentally tarpitted his whole day, not just office hours.
In summary: The answer key for the textbook he got it out of has the naive, non-physical solution. He and the TA got far enough to confidently say that the correct solution is absolutely not an undergrad E&M problem.

Fuck you bitbucket! I win this round!
Some fucker listed the public key for our keys as a "secured variable", so I can find out which public key the repo is using and I can't see it in outputs!
So if I add the keys to a file, then cat the file, bitbucket is clever enough to mask the key!
So I just got the repo to list all the public keys for the deployment account - and it masked the public key it was using!
FUCK YOU BITBUCKET! SPITE IS GOING TO WIN!
Also - BitBucket entirely did the right thing here - whoever setup the repo was BOONKERS

I got to learn about how connecting over cable to the internet worked tonight with the power level indicating 1s and 0s very very quickly, how packets can be confused and how tcp and udp work from @silverwizard .... but then I asked the age old question: how does wireless work
And friends, let me tell you that I'm amazed it works at all but also... why did I need to ask, because I think I'm more confused now, at the same time.... like I think I understand it in theory but uh, I feel like my theory of wireless must also be wrong because uh... wut

The worst part of testing the new "Delete everything associated with this account" script for the first time with prod data is that if it fucks up, there goes the prod data.
