I've been terminally online for ~40 years, long before the big endless scroll. I've seen things some people wouldn't believe. 1200 baud modems on fire from Usenet flame wars. I watched c-news servers stutter at the mere mention of Kibo. All those moments will be lost in AI slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify.

@catsalad You definitely don't want to look at Usenet binaries groups. They're chock-a-block full of piracy sin.

@SecularJeffrey I never have seen any of these flying shark movies, probably never will. But, never say never.

Sign me up for the angry mob.
Neudorf has denied any involvement in his recall or any association with Ryan Tanner.

“I have no relationship with Ryan Tanner and I’m not involved in any way on my own recall,” he said in an interview with the Herald. “It saddens me that it’s gone to this level provincially.”

He added that the recall process isn’t how democracy was meant to work.

What a bunch of fuckups our local paper has running it.

Checkout the placeholder text of the image caption, and the photography credit. In the actual freaking printed newspaper. They have no functioning editors or proof readers, or simply do not care.

Bad Google Translation of placeholder image caption :

I was trying to be nice to my little NAS running this instance (and other instances and websites and email and *arr things and ...), by limiting the number of threads for inbox, outbox, backfill, etc to very low numbers.

Then I added every relay known to Cthulhu, causing the queue backlogs to get kinda stupid large. What the heck, I have NVME cache protecting the spinning rust in the NAS. Other than maybe running out of CPU due to i/o wait what could it hurt ... cranked the concurrency up quite a bit. Lo and behold, everything's just fine and processing is keeping up.

@GeePawHill I've been in close proximity to celebrities in elevators or restaurants or airports but didn't interact with them, because as a Canuck we just leave them alone for the most part when they are out and about being humans and not performers.

@crispius @chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca Yes, and if you do not want to dismount off the rims to put on the other side of the car you can still swap front left with rear left for example, unless the tires are different width or something.

“His left side was numb, and scans showed he had a stroke in the deeper part of the brain, the thalamus, which explains the unsteadiness,” Munshi said. “He was admitted, and we treated him with five different medications until his blood pressure dropped to 170.”

Back at home again, the man’s blood pressure continued to climb, reaching 220 despite numerous drugs. Munshi and his team searched for answers for weeks, running extensive tests that turned up negative. Then one day the man told Munshi about his energy drink habit.

Found my old high school math calculator. Circa 1986 according to Wikipedia. It’s survived quite a few prairie winters in various cars parked on the street.

40 years give or take a few months.
