Inspired by the famous https://xkcd.com/576/ XKCD, I too decided to make a quick script which selects a random eBay category and finds a random cheap item from it.It then opens it in a browser profile that hides all images and listing titles (but not price & shipping etc.) so that I can do the checkout without knowing what I'm buying. I plan to start running it weekly somewhere in September.Ran a sample size of items to see what I'd get... it's weird. What could go wrong?

@alexbuzzbee If I'm choosing, I have a slight preference for tabs. Otherwise, it's not a big deal to use something else.

Retinal, the molecule that senses light in the human eye, does so by turning from an 11-cis configuration to an all-trans configuration upon receiving a photonhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RetinalIn other words, only the trans are allowed to perceive light 😎 that's right 💯 :flag_transgender:

Sadly turning all-trans makes retinal more straight, thus ruining the joke

@shom @alexbuzzbee the third command makes the executable setuid, which means it will run as root for all users, making the keys available to unprivileged users

Queer fediverse be like:Check out my new album, "30 minutes of low bitrate white noise", available only on my gopher-over-IMCP server at epicqueergamer7hfai73pfam55oxhq.onion. Please connect only between 01:00 and 02:00 UTC for reasons I will *not* explain.

Since people seem to like this I worked out how to play the album, on linux with ffmpeg and pulseaudio at least:ffmpeg -t 30:00 -f u16be -i /dev/urandom -filter:a "volume=0.2" -b:a 1k -f mp3 - | ffmpeg -f mp3 -i - -f wav - | aplay

@stux it is "on" most of the time, as in "allowed to come on". Very few apps actually use it, and none that I don't trust. It's basically the same as keeping it off unless needed but it's easier

@pfm With my current knowledge, I would only be comfortable using Rust or Python, and possibly C with some effort. Assuming it's a long-lived, possibly network-facing, likely important system process, I'd choose Rust.
