@arclight @AMS I'm a little surprised nuclear safety doesn't have those problems. Maybe just not yet since most of the reactors are so old? Or people are mostly afraid enough not to fuck around and find out? (Barring the various examples where that HAS happened of course.)Also: meat thermometer attack surface is a bitchin' band name.

Fun fact: this was DynDNS' first "real" datacenter (meaning: not my bedroom attached to a modem). It was in a basement of an office building on one of Ithaca's hills, with a small local wireless ISP that also did small colo. #DynDNSHistory (Don't miss the alt text for details of what you're seeing!)

@strypey if you're looking for outside feedback: your overall replies there seem somewhat reply-guy-like, and definitely seem to me like something that would tweak folks who think people aren't taking COVID seriously enough.If you're not looking for feedback, sorry, carry on.

@futurebird I bet the bank would be really mad if you folded one up and tried to put it in the ATM...

Okay, I finally did it, I started a Labor & Unions starter pack. I'm sure it's incomplete, so help me out, tell me who I'm missing!https://fedidevs.com/s/NTMy/(If you're on the list and want to be removed, I apologize, please tell me that as well. It does respect discoverability settings but I realize that's not everything.)#Labor #Unions

Anyone here have any familiarity with Ben Owen and the work he's doing with the unhoused, addicted, and mental health communities in Memphis? His social presence seems to be largely on Insta, Facebook, and LinkedIn...A friend recently pointed him out and his approach seems to be very humanizing and powerful, but I'm getting a bit of an off vibe, I'm not sure if it's just because he's playing the influencer game or something else.

His story appears to be "been there, done that" as a military veteran and multiple-time addict. He seems to be all about meeting people where they are and truly finding out what they need, and bringing them up, which I love, and think we need more of. So I want to think he's on the right path. But it's so easy to be jaded these days. 😞

Sorry Disney/ABC, you can backpedal all you want but you've already shown us your spinelessness. You ain't getting me back.

@strypey unless the EV is a Jeep 4xe in which case apparently they pop off like nobody's business.

@nyquildotorg ah, okay, I missed the point there, sorry. I wonder if anyone has looked at this type of thing over time. Like, 50 years ago, were we afraid we'd lose the ability to ... I dunno, drive a stick-shift car? And now that people mostly have, does it matter?To be more specific: I wonder if we're just imagining future trouble that will never materialize.

@nyquildotorg Or I guess a better question would be "is there a tangible example of something we lost from 50 or 100 years ago that we weren't worried about, but now is a problem?"

@lxo @nyquildotorg > reading books and newspapers instead of doomscrolling> thinking for ourselves instead of taking GenBS as truthThese are super interesting to dig into, because I would put these into the category of what my historian spouse describes as "we always think the current moment is the worst".That said, I do think these particular points are symbolic/emblematic of a problematic direction/pattern. But I'm not sure it'll be so clear-cut in 50 years that it was all bad.
