I’m a dorky inflatable latex coyote! Linux nerd, baker, some 3D things as I learn. Also love latex. The material, not the typography thing.

  • Try going to an Aldi checkout line.

    I’m far happier waiting in line with how absurdly fast they train and empower their cashiers to be then I ever have been at Kroger or Walmart. By now all the cashiers recognize me too because they’re paid well enough to reduce churn like that, and I don’t even get ID checked for alcohol most of the time.

    It’s a breath of fresh air after being forced to wait in line for self checkout at any store where everyone is slow. Even myself, and even you, because the machines don’t let you go fast because they don’t trust you or I. It just feels faster because you’re doing something the whole time.

    Not sure why they have multiple debs and RPMs when meta package dependencies can solve that.

    Otherwise?

    It’s because Windows only has an x86_64/amd64 CPU architecture.

    Here there’s ones for multiple ARM CPU architectures going back to the first raspberry pi.

    If Windows was readily available for those you can bet it’d be just as confusing with “wait am I armv6 or armhf? Or oh shit am I armv7??”


  • Struggling to read all the comments on mobile so apologies if this is a duplicate, but if you need recipes, Tandoor Recipes. I use it for hosting my own edits of recipes. Since I do baking streams it’s great for me to easily link to my stream for folks who want the same recipe including any tips I’ve added or variations, or something I’ve kinda come up with that’s based off a standard formula.

    Plus, using the Kitshn app on a tablet makes for an absolutely gorgeous kitchen companion for reading recipes. Split screening it between the recipe and the chat has been awesome. For real, Kitshn is absurdly polished for an open source app.









  • Even the “thinking engine” ones are wild to watch in motion, if you ever turn on debugging. It’s like watching someone substitute the autosuggest of your keyboard for what words appear in your head when trying to think through something. It just generates something and then generates again using THAT output (multiple times maybe involved for each step).

    I watched one I installed locally for Home Assistant, as a test for various operations, just start repeating itself over and over to nearly everything before it just spat out something completely wrong.

    Garbage engines.



  • Jesus I thought assumptions about others was more a thing of Reddit, not here. The user you’re talking about simply stated they felt violated heavily by such, not that they’d inflict violence specifically.

    My apartment was burglarized over a decade ago and I’m only just now getting over the trauma of it mostly. I had nightmares for years about coming home and my front door being wide open, and everything being gone. I lost sleep waking up repeatedly from these nightmares.

    It’s easy to point fingers when you haven’t been traumatized by an event yourself. Have an ounce of fucking empathy here. Neither that person nor I want to hurt folks at all, and I absolutely wouldn’t be able to hurt someone who broke into my place even if I was home besides yelling and trying to scare them off by making a loud racket. But that doesn’t mean we weren’t violated in some fashion.

    Like the other commenter in the thread about his wife elbowing a pickpocket, that’s not actually going to hurt or damage anyone but it’ll startle the hell out of them to run off. It’s not like she beat him or made him bleed, at worst he got a bruise for a couple hours.

    Anyway great to know more folks give zero shits about mental health clearly.



  • It explains so much when it’s played up so heavily in talk shows, despite the reality always having been very minor. Honestly I didn’t realize me being gay was that much of a minority either. I kind of wish ADHD had been one in the list; if I remember the reality is like no more than 3-5% of the population but people assume it’s over diagnosed as hell and like…not really. Maybe when there was the initial “rush” of sorts for parents during the 90’s because of it seeming to help “unruly” kids, often just meaning imaginative or creative. In my case my parents didn’t even know until my kindergarten teacher told them I should get evaluated, and yep.
