This was during the summer. The only thing might be bird poop?

One of my neighbours sometimes hoses down her driveway in the pouring rain. Who knows why neighbours do the things they do.

Our universe is but one Pringle in a can.

Wouldn’t it be bizarre and ironic if the universe is shaped exactly like a Pringle?

Why? Because the platform is owned by Elon Twitler, and he’s opened the floodgates to anyone who wants to help destroy the world.

- Comment on What would happen to your body if you only ate 750g of 2% cottage cheese every day for a month? 6 months ago:
I lost 40lbs on keto and after the first week of keto flu, I felt great. No sugar crashes, no energy level drops and overall, more energy than usual. I stopped after six weeks as I couldn’t deal with the lack of flavour and texture in the food I was eating. I reached a good weight that I’ve maintained, 7 years later.
One thing it taught me, was to reduce the amount I eat and to balance things out if I eat more carbs than usual.
- Comment on Why don't electric car manufacurers put solar panels on the car roofs? 6 months ago:
I have a very vague memory of watching a video where someone calculated the amount of energy produced, which was minimal. The benefit vs the cost is very poor.

I’d be surprised if they didn’t, to be honest.
- Comment on Resume Tip: Hacking "AI" screening of resumes 6 months ago:
The big question should be “are recruiters posting your resume to ChatGPT? If so, any personal information is no longer private, as ChatGPT will probably absorb it as additional training material.

- Comment on Has ethernet become illegitimate? A librarian flipped out after spotting me using ethernet 7 months ago:
I can’t rant against librarians. My friend has been a librarian for many years and she has put up with a hell of a lot of crap from people. So be kind, be patient and be honest with them.
Obviously not all librarians, like any job, are perfect.
- Comment on Comparison: Coop Cloud, Yunohost, similar platforms 8 months ago:
I don’t think YunoHost uses containers, at least it didn’t the last time I used it. It installs applications natively.
The best part about using containers for self hosting is that you don’t have to locally install dependencies for anything you want to run; they’re all inside the container. So if something doesn’t work, blow away the container and any data it created. Uninstalling a locally installed app can be a pain as you’re left with all the installed dependencies and any configuration that may not have been removed.
Another benefit of containers is that it’s generally easy to update an app to a new version by downloading and running a newer version of the container and maybe running a migration command. Updating a locally installed app means installing newer versions of dependencies before running any migrations.
The upshot is that I personally find containers easier and cleaner to deal with than locally installed apps.

The Enshittification continues! I have no interest in playing games on Netflix so they won’t get ad revenue from me.
- Comment on The Perfect Webpage: How the internet reshaped itself around Google’s search algorithms — and into a world where websites look the same. 11 months ago:
This whole SEO business disgusts me. It’s destroyed the web, meaning the content is no longer as important as the stuff you do to make Google suggest your site. I try to restrict myself to sites I know well, ones whose content I trust. Yay web! Not.
