I use RSS a fair amount. I can’t really speak to the accessibility, but I find feeds by searching a web page’s source for the word “feed”. The New York Times has feeds available from this page for different locations and topics.

Keeping hardware running 24/7 cheaply is difficult. Expanding an existing setup is expensive. Consumer grade ISP’s will block unexpected network protocols sometimes seemingly for no reason. Dynamic DNS isn’t super robust, so several times I went on vacation and the DNS service would flake. Maybe it’s better if you pay more for it, but I have no complaints about my VPS. It’s nice to be able to just reliably reach my web stuff and not worry a cat bumped the power cable.

It is possible to use a dynamic DNS service. They’re typically pretty cheap. I did for several years. It kind of sucked so I rented a VPS.

To add a little context, Standard Ebooks takes a subset of books from the Gutenberg Project and edits them into a more attractive, modernized standard. They add covers, fix typos and OCR mistakes. The same basic text, but with a slightly higher format quality.

The point of the meme is that we let chuds set the standards of behavior now?

I had to add it to the default links, but yes.

This had always worked for me in Newpipe.

When I get in the car, I hit the blinker lever by instinct because on a forklift it puts you into forward or reverse gear.

I’ve only ever seen the term used to refer to the bags people prepare in advance for emergencies.

I’m playing it now, and I’d say it’s about as difficult as Hollow Knight. Beautiful and a lot of fun, though.

I tried self hosting from my apartment for several years. Never anything ambitious, but even so, keeping the site reachable consistently was a problem. It’s not impossible. You would need a dynamic DNS service. Some are free. Even with everything set up correctly, expect done downtime. I eventually switched to a virtual server, so I’m paying $7.50/month for 1 GB RAM, 1 TB bandwidth and 120 GB disk space. Reachable all the time with no issues now, though.

This comic is very cute.

In my limited experience, there are basically two flavors of Linux:

1. Latest software, everything’s available but it breaks a lot.
2. Doesn’t update frequently, might have to be cautious with third-party software but very stable.

As I’ve gotten busier, my preference for stable distros like Debian has grown. I think there’s also a lot of value in trying for due diligence the first time you install a distro. It’s much simpler to take the time and do it correctly than to try and fix it afterwards. Sometimes it takes a few attempts to get everything set up correctly, but it’s worth it long term.

I started working sixty hours a week to make ends meet. Hard to spare the time.

I think there might be a kind of tragedy of the commons thinking there, as in “Somebody is going to take advantage of this naive person, it may as well be me.”

I really liked the episode on “pumpion pie”. Tried it a few Thanksgivings ago and it was delicious.

What’s the bottom left series?

The invisible pink unicorn is the traditional atheist approach.
