I am majoring in computer science and in my free time I enjoy (doing stuff still figuring out what that stuff it as reading the news isn’t fun)
@RickiTarr Getting covid ironically saved my life as I quit montelukast as a result. The side effects I experienced from being drugged were memory loss, anxiety, inability to focus, insomnia, headache, feeling sick or being sick, and coughing, the some more side effect. Montolukast was supposed to be a cure for asthma so I stopped coughing. I do plan on filing a lawsuit against montelukast for fucking up my life.
I'm always shocked by how expensive basic European experiences are in the US. One of my favorite things is high street shops. You have a bunch of stores with apartments above them, so you can always live within walking distance of basically everything. In the US they separate things into commercial and residential districts so you have to drive everywhere.
Areas that allow mixing residential and commercial buildings are so rare that supply & demand sends costs through the roof. In Europe living in an apartment above stores is a budget option for people who can't afford homes, in the US you basically have to be wealthy and often those apartments cost as much as an entire house.
@malwaretech and then people wonder why you want to work remotely. (Hey maybe if I could find a home to live in for the same low price as a place that I could in this random place that you have never heard of I might consider it).
I always sucked at eating healthy because my brain won’t give me the motivation to cook food. Friend introduced me to this really cool local service where a professional chef does meal prep for you and and delivers them to your door. Since they’re cooking in bulk, you can have all different meals instead of eating the same this every day. They even customize the food to your diet requirements and weight loss goals. Works out around $17 a meal
EDIT: while this did solve some problems for some people, it didn’t solve the notification issue that was reported.
I just found and fixed an issue with infosec.exchange that I hadn't seen in a long time. The problem was that sometimes feeds would not refresh, particularly notifications. The problem started around the time I upgraded to 4.2.0, however that isn't the problem. A look at the web server error logs shows lots of instances of this error:
24: Too many open files
This is a problem I fought a lot in the early days. The issue is the file limits in ubuntu are too low for busy web servers (infosec.exhange web servers regularly have 3000-4000 active connections)
The fix is pretty simple - adding
LimitNOFILE=1000000
to the nginx.service file. The problem is that when I upgraded mastodon, I also upgraded nginx. And apparently, like a bastard, nginx replaced the system service file, which no longer contained the LimitNOFILE=1000000 statement.
@jerry upgrading can be a pain because you got to agree to new tos and things can be changed back to the default but as much of a bastard that upgrading can be not upgrading has more consequences. Thanks for all of your hard work @jerry.
I'm a big fan of social media platforms that let you delete comments on your own posts. I get so many where people are going out of their way to call me out for something that was neither said, implied, or even existed in the near vicinity of my post. It's just like "nah, ur comment priveledged are revoked. Come back when you've worked out some issues lol"
My mental health is doing so well that I paid $4k to attend a tech conference then cancelled my flight on the way to the aiport because my headphones ran out of batteries
Ok, Apple developers, how buggy is the latest macOS Sonoma beta? (I want to install it on a spare Mac for testing, but I also want to keep the machine usable enough for day-to-day stuff.)
@thomasfuchs what I do is I i stalled macos Sonoma public beta on a separate partition on my mac. Seems stable enough for day to day use. Admittedly I haven’t been using it for day to day use.
