Canadian colleague pointed me at "Cream of Earl Grey" tea. I'm intrigued https://www.genuinetea.ca/products/cream-of-earl-grey-pyramid-tea-bags

It’s remarkably awkard to find centos stream containers. I wonder if anyone is using them

@jwildeboer I’m very fond of the kobo libra

TIL: there’s no /dev/stderr (or /proc/self/fd/2) in the execution context of a systemd unit.

Amazon is removing the ability to download purchased Kindle content, which is the only way to read it on my Kobo or elsewhere. What this means is I will no longer be purchasing (“a license to”–ick) any books by the mostly independent authors who exclusively publish there; just cancelled preorders.

Starting February 26, 2025, the "Download & Transfer via USB" option will no longer be available. You can still send Kindle books to your Wi-Fi enabled devices by selecting the "Deliver or Remove from Device" option. Learn more about managing downloads

@algernon I think oracle offer a free tier which includes arm64

@dwm I’d be happy to mentor if you choose to do that

Do a bad job for the Fascists.

A post by laxsara:
the meaning of life is summed up in the story elmer
bendiner tells about how when he was a pilot the
second world war, his plane was hit with a barrage of
anti-aircraft fire from the nazi forces but the crew
survived. and how everyone was saying it was a
miracle until they investigated the shells that got in
the fuselage and found there was no explosive
charges in any of them. in one they found a note
scribbled in czech, written by the person who had
been forced to manufacture the shells, and it just
said 'this is all we can do for you now.

every time i see someone acting tough online about
how harm reduction is pointless and in some
convoluted way worse than doing nothing i think
about that person in some soul-destroying nazi
factory in occupied czechoslovakia removing all of
the explosive charges from their anti-aircraft shells
and writing a note that they must have known would
probably never be read, just to say 'this is all we can
do for you, and we're going to do it. they are trying
to make us kill you and we refuse. i do think that
maybe it's all going to be okay.

@goldmann in 2 days I hit 10 years at fedoraplace. Will I get my puck!??

@elmiko @mattb they’re different!

According to all known laws of DNS, there is no way a fedi instance could be hosted on an .ARPA domain.
Even if you get ahold of a domain like this, it should only be used for PTR records - right?

The instance, of course, federates anyway - because DNS doesn't care what humans think is impossible.

@pwaring you can also tell find to -delete

Today I wrote: Perl, Lua, vimscript, Haskell, Behave; I think that’s it.
