Waiting (and waiting) at the vet's drop-in urgent care with The Retriever as I'm pretty sure she has a foxtail in her ear.
Already had time to take a 40 minute walk and get tea and a muffin. Finished the muffin. We were number nine on the list and everybody who was waiting initially seems to still be here.
Expect lots of replies to your toots in the next hour (or two 😞).

gitea is availible on truenas so youre gonna just click install?
Fuck no. One thing i hate with the app installation is that it forces its own db. Like i already have a that db server running. Now gitea is pretty much just make a custom app on truenas blah blah blah that also cuts out the need for s3 but gitlab? yeah i have no clue, that shit come in one big beautiful deb file that has everything gitlab needs. ok dedicated redis is fine but fym i need another postgresql server man just fuck off. I might have 28 cores and 416gb of ram and 100gb of vram BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN I NEED TO USE EVERY SINGLE LAST BIT OF IT. Also fuck postgresql, why the FUCK CANT I READ THE DATABASE WITH YOUR OFFICIAL GUI PROGRAM.

Ms Sweeney appears to be the near-miraculous answer to the trend of glorifying ugly to sell.

More importantly, she is the utter antithesis to Mr Dylan Mulvaney, who should be known as The Killer of Brands.

(I have long held a suspicion that Mulvaney is knowingly and intentionally playing a very long performance art game that would earn Andy Kaufman's admiration. Maybe, maybe not.)

American Nurse Who Tried to Save “No Other Land” Activist Was Detained and Deported by Israel

Americans on the scene who tried to help Palestinians said Israeli authorities detained them — as all settler attackers roamed free

Also to remember that IDF kidnapped 14 palestinians from the same village after the murder of the palestinian activist, they are now held in "administrative detention" like thousands of others with no charge or access to lawyer.

The terrorist who murdered the activist is seen participating in new raids against Palestinian villages and terrorizing them with backing of IDF and Israeli police

We really don't know the extent of Gaza #genocide since there is no government in #Gaza to register the dead or missing any more.

Only when Israeli occupation ends, we will be able to find out the real number of people murdered by #Israel in the past 21 months, and the number is much much larger than the official (verified) 60000.

Will that change the minds of the world about the evil that exist in psyche of the people in Israel who justify and defend this?

Kyouko Day (YA/HOO)

Appreciate the cute yelling dog of the Buddhist temple. She's not all that devoted to buddhism but she makes for a great introduction to the temple when she shouts good morning. A bit simple minded however it makes her all the cuter.

Of course her greatest fun is in being a part of her punk band with Mystia. Quite strange how those two became friends. I'm sure the head of the temple is still quite annoyed at Kyouko's tendencies towards music. Still these kinds of simple thoughts are what makes her so cute.

youtube.com/watch?v=RIdvqy9G3M… Can you argue with an echo? I guess when the dog decides to counter your points it becomes a sort of argument. Good song regardless. :cirno_dance:

@LoliHat Ever since playing with the Touhou Little Maid mod for Minecraft my thoughts on Kyouko's sounds has been irreparably damaged by the yahoo voice used there. I cannot imagine her mouth opening to make any other noise.

Good morning BSidesLV! Come find me to receive stickers & discuss MCP Security!

I may or may not be masked, depending on CO2 levels. Likewise I may or may not be wearing the hat, depending on how hot it is 😅

That said, here are some clues to indicate that you have, in fact, found me. If you introduce yourself, I’ll give you a sticker! 😉

P.S. I’m hiring for skilled AppSec and AI/ML offensive security talent! 👩‍💼👨‍💼

As far as I know, there is no link between CO2 (or O2) levels and airborne viral load. If you are indoors and want to protect yourself from Covid (etc), don't make a decision to mask (or not) based on what your CO2 meter says — just mask up!

Or, in other words, don't avoid putting on a mask based on what your CO2 meter says. It might give you a false sense of reassurance!

@foufoutos τι να συνειδητοποιήσουν καλέ τα δεκαοχταχρονα όταν στο σπίτι τα μαθαίνουν πώς να κάνουν υποκλίσεις στο κάθε λαμόγιο με λεφτά; Ξέρεις πόσα απ'αυτά νομίζουν ότι αν δουλέψουν στο Χ μπουρδελοριζορτ, θα "πάρουν μπόι";
Η πραγματικότητα βέβαια τα προσγειώνει ατσαλα, αλλά τα δεκαοχταχρονα είναι πιο αναλώσιμα για όλους αυτούς κι απ'το κωλοχαρτο
in reply to Alex

@foufoutos έχω εδώ ένα ζευγάρι, αυτός 20 αυτή 18. Τους έδωσα ένα δωμάτιο για τη σεζόν σε τιμή που να μπορούν να πληρώσουν με τη δουλειά που βρήκαν στο πενταστερο πιο πέρα. Σερβιτόροι και οι δύο. Ήρθαν στην αρχή όλο χαρά και καμάρι που θα δούλευαν εκεί (νόμιζαν ότι θα συνδυάσουν δουλειά και διακοπές) και μέσα σε ένα μήνα, είναι για λυπηση. Από τις 8 ως τις 6-7 το απόγευμα δουλειά και μετά μόνο ύπνο. Έχω δει πολλά τέτοια παιδιά
in reply to Alex

από τότε που προσελαβα υπάλληλο, όλοι αναρωτιούνται γιατί την πληρώνω, όταν δεν έχει δουλειά! Δλδ θεωρούν ότι ο εργαζόμενος με σύμβαση είναι κάτι σαν συνέταιρος, αλλά μόνο στις αναδουλειες.
Συνήθης πρακτική, για τους μήνες που δεν υπάρχει πληρότητα, η εκ περιτροπής απασχόληση και αμοιβή. Ε, κι αν πλακώσει δουλειά, θα πάρουν το μισθό ολόκληρο αλλά μέχρι εκεί. Για τις έξτρα ώρες, ποντάρουν στην ανάγκη του άλλου για μεροκάματο, που τί θα βρει στο τελείωμα της σεζόν;

@DoctorG_1, gendern ist auch in Spanien ei Thema mit einigen durchaus absurden und lustigen Auswüchsen wo es einem grammatikalisch und phonetisch den Magen umdreht.

Persöhnlich ist es mir Wurscht, ich halte mich an die althergebrachte Grammatik, weil ich finde, das Gleichberechtigung nicht von Wörtern abhängt, sondern vom Verhalten der Personen., nicht von was man sagt, sondern wie man es sagt.

Wir müssen erstmal lernen die Person als solche zu wertschätzen, nicht nachdem was sie zwischen den Beinen hat oder welche sexuellen Vorzüge (mit Grenzen, siehe Trumpel), erst dann sind wir bereit an der Sprache herumzuschrauben ohne das Wörterbuch als Fussball zu benutzen.

Die Sprache evolutioniert immer, aber sollte unter den richtigen Voraussetzungen vonstatten gehen. Verbieten ist natürlich keine Lösung, aber Erziehung in den richtigen Themen.

Die Leute sollten erstmal richtig Deutsch lernen und ihren Wortschatz vergrössern. Mir haben dabei Torsten Sträter und Jürgen von der Lippe sehr geholfen um den Reichtum und Eleganz der deutschen Sprache schätzen zu lernen (zum Preis von Seitenstechen vor Lachen)

When 'being dead enough' becomes a measure en.reseauinternational.net/qua…

Question specific to those who work in #ClimateAdcvocacy:

It's clear that Congress is committed to gutting renewables funding & propping up fossil fuels

YET there are some outcomes that illustrate a tiny bit of restraint and responsiveness--like when the Senate considered *taxing* renewables, which quickly got shut down.

So my question is: What is working? Does anyone have insights into what types of #Advocacy actions have impact in this political climate?

#Climate #ClimateChange #askfedi

in reply to Aaron

For example, how did this happen?

June 30: utilitydive.com/news/senate-ta…

July 1: utilitydive.com/news/senate-me…

Understanding this is key to getting our species to commit suicide at a slightly slower rate (aka getting the country that produces the most oil & gas to engage in some level of transitioning toward renewables)
