When you lose a system. It responds to ping; all services are up, but you can’t find the damn thing.

So, not a number so much as a limit to your organizational skill+effort.

I seed, but I’m behind a NAT I don’t control without port forwarding, so I’m not a good seed.

Maybe I will do the seedbox VPS thing… after I get employed again.

I have 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 in my resolver configuration. I’ve heard that 9.9.9.9 might not be poisoned like this. Besides running my own DNS (not even on a dare), is there a good way to get uncensored DNS resutls?

https://git-annex.branchable.com/todo/Bittorrent-like_features/ – Use IPFS as a special git-annex remote, and it will be nearly impossible to execute a take-down.

If you have other “decentralized filesystems” that have “better” behavior than IPFS, you might see if joeyh or yourself can add them as other special remotes.

Having only cooked on radiant electric and gas, I gotta say I prefer the experience of cooking on gas, but not by enough to accept the documented risks, even if they are small. I hope at some point I’ll be able to have an induction range top as my primary.

Oh, my primary diet is beans, quinoa, nooch, and almond milk. Snacking is popcorn with, evoo, and Kernel Seasonings ™.

I still eat meat not infrequently, but not everyday, and I rarely prepare it for myself. Still, I should avoid it more. It’s unnecessary, and even just a couple of years ago, I ate it less of it.

The food I cook for my family does involve the maillard reaction for some of it (salmon patties, roasted veg, french fries, lasagna, pasta w/ meat sauce). I pressure cook the chicken and rice, so I think that mostly avoids maillard. I only eat on the family food to clean it out of the fridge when I don’t think it’s worth serving to anyone else.

Thank you for your concern.

Since the Maillard reaction and all its VOCs are the most likely source of meat-related cancer risk, I will gladly eat pink (but safely cooked) meat. In fact the center pink bits are my favorite parts a traditionally cooked steak / prime rib.

The information I have says sous vide is not as good as a “standard” reverse sear in an oven. But, I haven’t tried either.

My experience is that the “crust” on meat is entirely optional, and while I don’t aggressively avoid it, I don’t seek it out when I am preparing my own meat.

The few times I have prepared meat while trying to minimize the maillard reaction, it was still quite tasty.

That said, I agree that cancer risk is relative, and you can’t avoid all risk, even if you are happy to try.

I hear sous vide steak can be quite tasty.

I don’t know what the official pronunciation is, but I always read it as Ooo-bee-soft.

Signal, Wire, and Jami all support group chats that are E2EE. Discord’s reasons for not doing it might not be sinister, but they don’t need that level of access to your content in order to provide their core service.

Plaid effectively admitted to stealing your transaction history and selling it to the highest bidder in the past. There was a settlement and they agreed to not to that in the future

Just don’t ever share your password, and certainly not your banking password, and definitely not with Plaid.

Too redundant, just use S-exprs.

(Mostly joking, but in some cases…)

Hmm, maybe next time I’m buying games, I’ll pick up BL3 hoping it works on my Debian system through Proton or something.

Thanks for the info.

From the reviews I’ve seen (Outside Xbox), that’s the most you’ll get out of it. It’s mostly a nothing burger, “bad” is the best thing you can say about it.

BL2 still works on Linux, too. I can’t play BL3, which I hear is the better game (albeit with worse plot).

Given that some films are getting post-release edits before they appear on streaming or physical media, it might be a good idea just from an archival perspective.

I’m not a good judge of piracy methods for consumption, as I am currently willing to pay their prices or do without.

Depends on the pay differential and other options. I think it’s less useful for positions in my career, but it’s not an absolute no.

I have been in meetings which people who thought the fact that a user could use a different font, even only intentionally, was “unacceptable”.

I hope those people aren’t directing the ship at YT, but could be.
