Because I’m too old and crusty to use docker. Also, yet another hobby project because, apparently, I have too few unfinished ones.

Imgur has pissed me off long enough that I decided to roll my own this summer. When all I need is a place to store stuff for easy linking, building a web frontend is pretty trivial.

Plus I’m not limited to whatever file type and size imgur decides.

And guess what, my site condones punching Nazis:

Correction in regards to 2: When you’re in the “are we the baddies”-sketch it’s OK. In fact, I’d say David Mitchell has a free pass, as he always manages to portray the insecurity required to become a nazi.

Ah, so it’s not just me being unable to find a relevant setting, then.

I figured there ought to be a setting for support and brim, as there’s a similar setting for the skirt.

Once in a while you encounter software that, while proprietary, proves that even if you’re doing closed source software, you don’t have to be an asshole about it.

I don’t remember which hardware I was mucking about with, but when trying to do something with the firmware that I wasn’t supposed to do, I was given a warning, a recommendation to back up everything, and a simple pointer on what to do if whatever insanity I was doing didn’t work.

Yeah, I came for the sci fi, got bored because of the cult/religion derailment.

Personally I’m a big fan of Adafruits ItsyBitsy 32u4. Loads of potential in a small and cheap backage. Enumerates as an arduino via the USB port, so no special hardware is requires to program it. I use one to read a PWM signal and measure the pulse width on a few channel, so I would think it’s capable of outputting similar signals, which comes in handy for contrilling LEDs and small steppers.

If you want to control something a bit more power hungry via PWM you might want to look into PCA9685 which works really well with, for example, a raspberry pi zero.

Tinkering/assembling stuff and see it come to life. Bonus points if it’s something my kids can join in on.

Other contenders: (good) food, music, weather

I used to go real, but lack of proper ones made me go artificial instead.

I grew up on the countryside where part of holiday tradition involved grabbing a saw and finding a proper tree in one of the many woods around the property. Now that I live more urban I have to rely on whatever is on the market. And the quality of the market is awful, so I might as well have something that at least looks good.

Ok, that is objectively pretty cool

This thread contains so many words I recognize. I don’t speak Spanish, but I’ve worked with Argentinian geophysicists for years - You’d be surprised to learn how much someone’s prostitute parents are relevant to resolving timing drift and background noise.

Matrix chat is pretty popular on the fediverse. I don’t have any specific communities to recommend, but I’m sure there’s a suitable one out there.

As a mod I can answer the last part of your question: If it looks like a bot, smells like a bot, acts like a bot, guess what it is?; A duck.

And ducks get banned.

Just to clarify: Only the ones trying to pass as human. Utility bots (and ducks) are OK provided they are marked as such. Creating sockpuppet accounts for later use is not. While the boards I mod don’t explicitly have rules against bots, zero interaction repost bots hoping to farm some upvotes do not help the community.

Hydrochloric acid has a smell. That’s definitely the only downside.

All I know is that citric acid is dirt cheap in powder form, especially if you don’t need food grade.

Add water, and mix to taste: When it’s the most sour thing you’ve ever tasted, it’s about right.

Source: We use barrels of the stuff in the offshore industry to descale steel hardware that has been on the seabed. Just don’t tell the HSE department that you’re judging acid strength based on flavor, they’ll only see the acid-part and freak out.

Tip: Anywhere you want to use vinegar for its chemical properties, but you want to avoid the smell, use citric acid instead.

I had a geophysicist explain this to me in detail after I quipped that our job was to make sure the dinosaurs didn’t die for nothing.

Last year. My four year old was throwing a tantrum, so I carried/wrestled her to her room until she cooled down and was ready to talk about it.

Outside of that, I was routinely kicked and punched every Tuesday and Thursday from 2016 to 2020 at Karate practice. You should’ve seen the other guy; not a scratch, as we were both wearing proper gear.

Outside of that, I broke a guys nose in self defense in 2006.
