@scribus Huh, bit spicy in price but the repairability and warranty seem quite nice. Can't get any details on what type of screen it has from its datasheet tho.

@scribus I'm really hoping they get the funding for a proper series/movie, the "aesthetically pleasant, good for all ages funny animal cartoon" genre needs a revival.

@nerthos For real, dude. It's been too long since G and PG meant anything other than "little kids" and "bigger kids," Brandon Tenold does a great takedown of 70's PG vs Today in his video on Ralph Bakshi's "Wizards."

Was thinking about who I could get to voice Jesus in Swole Foods and realized I don’t have one (1) Jewish friend. These are the drawbacks to not being based in New York or Los Angeles like everyone else in my field.

@zeldatra Jesus was a roman-era Hebrew, so he's pretty distanced from modern day Jews. He's also only half Hebrew since only his mother's lineage can be traced, so arguably you could cast anyone eurasian for the role and not be too far off mark.
-
@nerthos I’m not genuinely that invested in an accurate casting, I’m voicing a south Asian guy which I obviously am not, I just briefly thought it’d be funny to make my imaginary Jewish friend do it

@zeldatra "Lose" is relative with <1% difference.
Brazil is quite screwed either way, Bolsonaro was quite disastrous, but Lula is downright horrid, ideology aside, any other option would have been better. On the plus side congress is stacked in Bolsonaro's favour, which means neither party can really do anything without the support of the other; theoretically this should mean they can only enact reasonable policy, but emphasis on "theoretically"

@scribus I would still go on an RDN roadtrip no questions asked, even though I'd probably have to shoot someone a few hours in at this point. Bonus points for a certain someone, in his own words, wanting to hit me with a wrench but 100% not brave enough to actually try if in the same room.
You're cool though, so we can eat fries after the fights die down.

I think Rings of Power was good. It's not a people pleaser by any means but I enjoyed many of the actors, the production design, the visual effects, and the music. The story was fine. The standout characters were Elrond and Durin. Best bros.

@adiwan Really the issue with it is how it thoroughly insults the work of the original author, going for a philosophy completely opposite to Tolkien's. It would have been ok as its own standalone thing.

@zeldatra Good gun, a bit expensive for carry if you don't use it often though. I'm a beretta 9mm guy, always found them nice, they were the standard cop gun here for decades.
-
@nerthos I don’t actually carry one, I was being a bit tongue in cheek when I said I needed one for defense, I learned how to use one and it’s what I use when I go to the range but the main reason I did it was for a private security job that would’ve provided one for me. Didn’t end up applying for the job though so it’s just one of those things I know how to do now with no real practical applications for the moment.

@scribus It's a waste to become immensely rich and not bananapost the world order.

Theoretically the work rules and environment at highschools nowadays is downright nightmarish, but since in practice what you can and can't do comes down to how you frame it and how good you are at talking your way through the hierarchy, it's not stressful at all for me and so long as I get results the administration doesn't get in the way.
I do often see other teachers that aren't good at the workplace politics losing hair and sleep over it though.Monday, 10-Oct-22 19:11:36 UTC from web-
@nerthos Ha, "other teachers" / "the District" has been one of the biggest stumbling blocks in my deciding to actually goto school and get teacher-certified up, I do not politick worth a crap
-
@scribus For me "other teachers" hasn't been too big a hurdle, because even though some are antagonistic (particularly the ideologues) they also tend to be massive cowards, so my usual strategy of just talking with full honesty to whoever's in charge is not something they know how to deal with.
The district and the ministry are another issue altogether, they seem to be on some sort of one-sided competition to prove the limits of insanity and incompetence when it comes to regulations and counterproductive ideas can yet be pushed further. The latest great ideas they had was a proposal to remove the attendance requirements so that students can't fail a class by not attending; and to demand tech schools be more lax with dress code (the dress code for tech school is just no hats, no piercings or jewelry in the workshop, pants without holes and knee-length blue or white overall/duster, all of which are basic safety requirements in a workshop)

I-66 coming out of Washington had a bunch of construction being done on it tonight which meant I couldn’t get into any of the exits leading home. The result is that I had to drive through the dying rural part of Northern Virginia to get home. Two lanes, one in each direction, on a winding, narrow, wooded road in a “The Hills Have Eyes” looking area, critters everywhere, ominous glimpses of dilapidated ranch-style homes with pickups and Trump 2024 signage, and just when you thought it couldn’t get any spookier, a decapitated deer laying in a pool of its own blood that I had to avoid running over. Jordan Peele couldn’t have depicted a more uncomfortable drive.

Damn. I bought another 3D printer.
Wednesday, 14-Oct-20 10:06:10 UTC from web-
@adiwan @scribus Not much of a point either, since we already have metal 3D printing in the shape of 4+ axis mills. You just put in a sufficiently big piece of metal and load the 3D model to the CNC software and let it work.
Mill of hot extrusion, metal printing will stay too dangerous and expensive for domestic use for at least a few decades I think. Most homes don't even have the space to fit the machinery or the wiring to run it. -
@nerthos Oops, *mill OR hot extrusion

@scribus Majority infection will be the eventual outcome, slower or quicker.
There are two ways to beat a virus: you either completely isolate every infected individual and anyone who is physically capable of contracting it for at least twice the lifespan of the virus, and I'm talking full lockdown, napalmed when opening the door; or you wait until almost the entire population has been infected and developed herd immunity, at which point new infections become very rare if the virus survives at all to mutate over following years.
Full lockdown wasn't done in time and in any case it is impossible considering the social paradigms of any western country, so the option that remains is the latter. Containment can only be reasonably used to slow spread to a rate to which the health system can handle it, but won't stop the spread, no matter how much a government insists on it. And it also vastly increases the number of deaths from existing conditions untreated due to lockdown.

@nerthos Yeah, I'd thought about it for shade, but it didn't turn up necessary. Now that they're done, I expect that's it. They basically butchered the trees. :-/

@nerthos But ultimately, the question is, is it so goddamned hard to look where you're dropping kiwi? Or keep your customer's mess in their yard? Basic respect. Show one move's worth of forethought for those around you.

@thismightbeauser But, the Carnegie and Rockefeller and all those families, they used to do public works and stuff. They may have been hoarding the wealth, but not damn *all* of it. Their flash contest was at least servicing the greater good as a side effect of the ostentation. This new crop seems more about raw, bigly yuge numbers, and hoarding, like a dragon (or a priapism). But, again, this is all coming around to perception. . . .
-
@scribus I mean, there's Bill Gates and whatnot. On the other hand you get people like this guy, who think it's an okay idea to keep making electric cars at a moderately high risk of illness to his employees with no one to buy them. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875471
-
@thismightbeauser @scribus That is indeed the case, a lot of rich people have middle class cars and discrete houses and do their best to keep people from knowing how rich they are, due to the general sentiment of "wealth equals evil"
You can't blame them really, if the mob will hate you just for managing to make good decisions and earning your family big money. I'd probably do the same if I couldn't simply relocate to a fortified compound with a minefield around it. It makes no sense to feel empathy for a group that has none for you, for whom you'll always be the bad guy regardless of what you do or don't do, that openly talks about how good it'd be if you died.
The ones that show off are the sociopaths, politicians and entertainment industry guys, who by default are crooks as that whole industry is built on crime and debauchery.

So, no. I do not have goddamned nginx figured out, and no, the Pleroma 2.0 launch has not made this any less goddamned infuriating.
Sunday, 15-Mar-20 04:19:48 UTC from web-
@scribus The installation of Pleroma comes with an NGINX config file located at /opt/pleroma/installation/pleroma.nginx copy it to the NGINX sites-available directory, change your server names, then symbolically link it to the sites-enabled path
-
@oracle I had done that previously and it still wasn't working. The directions said to name it a certain thing, which was not the usual Nginx method of naming it the same as the URL is supposed to be. Might that have been my problem? The second time around, I did try modifying a default, instead of copying the provided one, so obviously that was the error, there. :p Thanks.

@thismightbeauser Well, my latest (balls-deep-in-failure) attempt is on Ubuntu 20.04, and nginx is 1.17.10 (Ubuntu)
