SoNick

Ooh, I’d heard of htop but btop is new to me!

Finally a GREAT episode this season! Some of the jokes fell flat and this wasn’t a top 5 episode, but it was still really good!

Good job, Tails! Now fly me to that platform over there…

Here are a few great channels from my Youtube subscriptions!

Tasting History with Max Miller hits a perfect cross-section of my interest in cooking and my interest in history. Max goes through a historical recipe each episode and pauses part of the way through to explain the history of the dish.

Minute Food has lots of short (sometimes under a minute!) videos about the science behind cooking.

Chinese Cooking Demystified is a husband-and-wife duo living in China that goes over traditional Chinese recipes, I especially like how in the voice-over they frequently list substitutions for ingredients that may be difficult to find outside of China.

Atomic Shrimp does far more than just cooking, but the cooking videos on his channel always give a neat insight into the everyday meals an older British IT Specialist makes.

I like the boxes and fence one more, this just feels super-contrived

Don’t ask for life advice from strangers on the internet who have no incentive to give you GOOD life advice

Came here to say the same. Used to be closed then I got a cat and now I can’t imagine waking up without her napping on me

You mean that shitty cop drama with a batman skin spray-painted on top?

Man this place needs a no politics rule or something

Nah, the 90s were the early days of the internet being popular, with AOL launching their internet service in 1991 and even The Today Show talking about the internet in 1994. While 2002-internet isn’t the same as today’s internet, it was far from the early days by that point.

That’s a good one! Gnome is the Windows 8 of the Linux world, and the devs tend to intentionally break the extension system between major releases. It’s truly baffling how the group that made Gnome 2.x continue to hate most of the Linux userbase so much.

Is it 2002, or the early days of the internet?

Again? Wasn’t Gnome3 bad enough?

The difference is that ActivityPub clients currently only display the username part and hide the host for some reason. This can lead to confusion, I don’t get why the full address isn’t displayed by default.

I get that, I’ve been “SoNick” or some variation of it for a few decades now. However, a friend of mine uses different - but thematically similar - usernames for different services, when I asked her about it she explained that as a girl on the internet she has attracted more than a few stalkers; changing up the username makes it harder for them to find her on different services.
