Someone hasn't heard the stories about jizz clogging shower drains.

Right?

I remember the local contemporary Christian station would sometimes play P.O.D., but only late at night. It was too "hard" or something for during the day when I guess kids might be listening or whatever. The DJ even chastised listeners once for requesting P.O.D. during the day.

You just described my teens. Also Jars of Clay (I went to one of their concerts once), The News Boys, and some more obscure ones like Pillar and Paul Ruben. I also loved P.O.D.. It's really weird to hear them on secular radio these days.

Now-a-days, all of that is only for when I'm wallowing in self pity. There have been times in my life when casually mentioning a secular song around my family would make the shit hit the fan.

It's like that scene in The Office where Jim keeps giving higher and higher numbers and Dwight's like "yeah, I could see that", "quite possibly", "I'd say so", "most likely".

Still broken for me. Does it require a Facebook account?

Same. I was the first person in my immediate family to vote for a Democrat. They were appalled I'd vote for gays. (They'd have used a different term than "gays", but I digress.)

Same thing I got.

This is why people usually post screenshots.

The aim is a world where people don't need to commit antisocial acts to get their needs met. In practice, violence exists because capitalism creates the incentive to commit violence.

Yeah, I was a little diasappointed about that as well. Still a good article, though. And no paywall.

I'm not sure I've ever tried to do any write operations. I'm honestly not even sure the service behind that login page offers any write operations. I might have to check sometime. I'm curious.

Where I work, the infra folks are way overworked. Getting them to do things is impossible given their existing todo list. And when you do get them to do something (by throwing managers at them) they half-ass it.

(I'm not blaming them. I blame the managers. It is frustrating though. Anyway.)

And as a result, there's one system that I use frequently that they set up, but cut corners and never hooked it up to our single sign-on solution. And so in order to get into this system, everyone has to use a shared username/password. "readonly:readonly". And every time I log in, my browser nags me about the known weak password.

 

Not much else to say, is there?

I guess I'll say I'm glad I broke my rule of no Lemmy this late at night. This just waiting for me was worth it.

 

Just a 3D-printable reproduction of a video game asset that I made myself and am unreasonably proud of. (Yes, AntiMS is me, I promise.)

Do you suffer from a personality disorder, suspect you might, know someone who does, or simply wish to engage on the topic with others?

That's what [email protected] is for.

 

I'm writing a Lemmy bot. (No spoilers. I'll publish it one day.) To test it, I'm running a local Lemmy instance (via Docker) on a computer on my LAN and pointing my bot at it. That method works great, mostly. I can use Lemmy-UI just fine on my computer. I can also connect to that computer from a browser on my Android phone via http://192.168.1.199:1234/. I can also connect to Lemmy directly from my browser on my Android phone via http://192.168.1.199:8536/ and get a JSON payload (rather than an HTML page) with some information about the instance. So I'm certain I can connect to both Lemmy and Lemmy-UI from elsewhere on my LAN.

I also want to see exactly what posts made by my bot look like in Jerboa, but I haven't been able to figure out how to connect to it from Jerboa. On the "add account instance" interface, you can select an instance from the dropdown, but you can also type whatever you want into the dropdown field.

I've tried typing in:

  • 192.168.1.199
  • 192.168.1.199:1234 (Lemmy-UI is HTTP port 1234.)
  • 192.168.1.199:8536 (Lemmy is HTTP port 8536.)
  • http://192.168.1.199:1234/
  • http://192.168.1.199:8536/

(And, yeah, I figure port 1234 is probably not correct because probably Jerboa doesn't go through Lemmy-UI, but rather directly to Lemmy itself. But I figured I'd include those experiments here for completeness's sake.)

But I get the error message "Couldn't connect to the instance."

I'm running Jerboa 0.0.77 and Lemmy 0.19.8.

Thanks in advance!

This is for testing purposes, I promise.

 

I learned just recently that dbzer0 has a great piracy community that is blocked by lemmy.world . I'm not saying I'm looking to switch instances or anything, but it did get me wondering what else might be blocked by my instance that I wasn't previously aware of.

While we're at it, I'm curious what communities might notably be blocked on other instances as well. So we might as well just make this a question about what might be blocked by any particular instance, not just my instance.

So, what's blocked on some instances that folks might not have realized is blocked?

 

Coworker. I told him to fuck off with his conspiracy bullshit. But back when I patronized him, one thing he said was that he didn't consider belief a binary as in that you either believe something or don't. He viewed all beliefs as a continuum. You can believe one thing 10% and another thing 90%, but he wouldn't let me pin him down as to whether he "believed" any particular thing or not.

All while trying to convince me "tall white aliens" run the U.S. government and Sandy Hook was faked by a bunch of actors and the U.S. military had invisibility technology and planes that aren't dumping weather-controlling chemicals don't leave trails in the sky. Pretty standard QAnon-level bullshit. But if I asked him if he believed any of those things, he wouldn't answer. Honestly, it makes sense as a dishonest rhetorical tactic.

Dude also literally drinks borax in his juice cleanse drink.

 

Just as examples:

  • I've never played a Pokemon game despite being just the right age where my peers were really into gen 1 as a kid.
  • I have yet to watch any of the Alien or Predator franchise movies (except Prometheus, which I didn't realize was in the Alien franchise when I watched it long ago) but am planning on rectifying that when I can get a chance.
  • Oh, and I've never seen the "hawk tuah" video.
 

I think I like the flakes better, actually. I microwave-bake bread with onion in it daily and the flakes are nicer.

Minced? Pure madness. Let alone powder.

I was logged out of Hulu on my streaming box and can't log back in on any device. I don't know if this is all of Hulu or just in certain regions or what.

 

And it bugs me a little, but apparently not enough that I've actually done something about it.
