  • Barely felt like it at all. Whole summer without a decently consistent nice warm spell, just middlingly warm and cloudy, never proper beach weather. Winter weather came very early too in August and hasn’t left at all. 2018 - 2023 all at least felt like they had proper summers.

    Don’t get me wrong, obviously increasing global average temperatures are bad for the strain they put on infrastructure and how they affect small poor global south island nations disproportionately, but in this country with humidity of 80%+ and wind makes even 10°C feel worse than a sunny day at -20°C , and summers barely get above 30°C which is where proper hot weather starts.









  • This has happened to me before as well, there’s so many reasons a site or anything on your end or in-between could be down or have issues, that’s why mirrors work so well for resiliency! Glad you’re back up to speed now.

    Deb-src is the source code repository iirc. Unless you regularly download and read source code, you do not need it.




  • When I was ~10 and visiting the US as a tourist I lost my wallet somewhere on Ellis Island and realized it only when I was about to pay for a slice of pizza at some touristy cafe, I was freaked out and a random stranger that wasn’t in the queue just paid for it for me so I didn’t worry. Was only like 5 bucks or something but I still think about that today. Poverty and widespread opioid addiction and HIV was so common in the country I grew up, I was not used to people not caring to waste money just to help a stranger.





  • Can’t say I’ve ever heard of this show, but it’s always a shame to lose something like a science show to this insane far-right takeover of the UK happening right in front of us. What’s happened to the BBC is especially a travesty and I’ve even seen people here on Lemmy still claim the beeb to be anything other than the far right propaganda outlet it’s been since the BoJo premiership.

    I’m glad that there are still people out there who seem reasonable and not driven to insanity, and who use their voice to do right, and as a trans person I appreciate him for standing up for my people.





  • Benzos. Pretty convinced I had a minor seizure discontinuing that shook me awake with what I experienced as like a flashbang inside my brain.

    Psychologically it was quite easy to make the decision to stop and taper down etc. as the drug had accomplished what I wanted from it and I no longer had a solid justification for it, but physically it was an endurance marathon, didn’t unclench my jaw for what felt like weeks.

    Sleep was rare and awful. My leg was so restless I’d work up a sweat just shaking it trying to not freak the fuck out. It was like a panic attack that just didn’t go away for weeks.

    Other than that I don’t think I’ve ever had any serious addictions, nor any psychological addictions at all which is what I think people usually mean by “addiction” as opposed to physical dependence, but yeah.
