terribletortoise,

It seems too easy.
I suspect there will be a big offensive push on those planets that will challenge our liberation of them.

I was awarded my 3 gallon award today for blood donations. (lemmy.world)

I am truly honored. I hope every blood donation I gave was able to help save a life. I always wonder about how the recipients are doing, and what circumstances led them to need a life saving blood transfusion. The blood bank keeps all of that private for security reasons, of course, along with the name of the donors who donate....

terribletortoise,

Very cool!

I was recently donating while a guy celebrated his 200th donation!

terribletortoise,

It wouldn’t have surprised me if he was in his early 60s.

One of the ways you can get your numbers higher is with platelet donation. A donation via plateletpheresis can occur every few weeks. They basically take blood out, process out the platelets and pass the blood back into you, which results in less of an impact to the donor vs a standard whole blood donation.

terribletortoise,

HUUUUGE … tracts of land!

terribletortoise,

I’m sorry to hear you live with that fear everyday.

terribletortoise,

As a 58 year old, JK Rowling is, by her own definition, very unlikely to be a woman any longer.

terribletortoise,

That chocolate milk comes from brown cows.

When I discovered the truth, I learned an important lesson about betrayal.

terribletortoise,

I can only speak to my own experience, but maybe?
Also, I lied about being American and participated in this thread anyways.

terribletortoise,

Clearly they are two tactile unicycles. /s

terribletortoise,

I’d like to hear him deliver a detailed analysis of how sky rocketing food prices has no bearing on Loblaws record setting corporate profits.

terribletortoise,

Not exactly what you asked for but Joplin files are markdown. The app itself (very cross platform) renders them in a nice format. joplinapp.org

terribletortoise,

The addAddress call may just be configuring the local side of the VPN. It’s hard to know without looking at the rest of the code.
The general workflow when establishing a VPN connection is:

  • open a socket to the destination VPN service (ProtonVPN, or whatever suspect service).
  • configure parameters such as DNS, split tunneling, and which networks to route over the VPN (generally everything from your local system, except the VPN connection itself).
  • update the local routing so traffic starts flowing over the VPN.

addAddress may just be part of the configuration. A very cursory search suggests that OpenVPN may be being used as the underlying VPN implementation framework (not uncommon).

terribletortoise,

I was about to say that 787s have electronically dimming windows, not the “slider blinds”, so it couldn’t possibly be a 787.
But also what you said.

You can’t just post something like that and not a source! Citation required!

terribletortoise,

Lemmy is distributed across different instances. Instances can “federate” with each other, which means they share content and users with each other. “Defederating” means to remove that content sharing with the other instance.
As an example, let’s say that Instance-X contains unregulated hate speech on it. Other instances can remove federation from Instance-X so their community posts no longer get shared to/from them.

terribletortoise,

terribletortoise,

That would be a highly specific casual conversation!

terribletortoise,

Do you end up on a no-fly list from doing something like this?
Because it was a flight from Richmond to Toronto. The person likely lives in one of those two places and was released in Winnipeg. Are they now faced with the only option of bus/train/car to get home?
Then, similarly, have to do that again to get back to Winnipeg for their court date?

I hope they can’t fly, because that would be some sweet consequences.

terribletortoise,

It can be both…

terribletortoise,

5:1 (mineral oil:wax) To add to the above comment, this is effectively what’s sold as “cutting board wax/oil”.
Paraffin, soy or bees wax would all be fine. In my experience buying bees wax flakes is the cheapest way to get bees wax, it’s often sold for use in cosmetics.

The Internet’s Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q6Fzbgs_Lg

Aaron created RSS, and was an early developer of Reddit. A visionary of accessible information and information technology.

Since his death, the direction the internet has gone has been in ways that he would very much be taking issue with.

terribletortoise,

You are correct, I had not noticed they did away with that icon until you mentioned it now.

terribletortoise,

Boeing technicians: “Amateurs!”

terribletortoise,

Yes and no. They could be unplugged and replugged without a reboot. But also you’d have to manually configure the communication parameters of the port. So I hesitate to say “hot swap”.
