Some sure, but they’re in the 15-25% there, not the 40-45% like in the US.

Yeah, that’s the best recommendation yet, I don’t know why I always forget that option.

Thanks!

Used DVD box sets could be the cheapest, and certainly the fastest way to get them.

Oinks -> What.CD -> Waffles -> streaming services.

Now I’ve been out too long to have credentials with good private trackers unless there are open signups.

We also lost Brokenstones to bad actors. I’m getting too old to bother at this point.

Just make sure you have a food tester take a bite first.

I’ve been recently bingeing Look Mum No Computer’s rescue/re-build/midi-fication of an organ that had been shoehorned into an organist’s home, after the church had been converted. I’m more of an engineer than musician, but it’s amazing how much goes into the layering of sounds from so many different pipes.

My 6 yo loves learning with such a cool soundtrack too.

That’s amazing sounding! Worth the watts, even if I did get church ptsd listening to it.

Or the professor who’s profiting off requiring the latest edition of their own book each year.

Yeah my FIL, just recently sold a condo in FL. He’s had it since the 1980s and for the last 25 years it’s been rented by an elderly woman for basically the cost of condo fees, taxes and maintenance (though I think he lost money upgrading the sliding door after a hurricane). It was supposed to be where he retired to (15 years ago), but his wife had Alzheimer’s, so he ended up selling it when his tenant finally died, and sunk all the profit right back into his wife’s nursing home.

For those who, like me, wasn’t aware of rentry, it’s a pastebin the supports markdown.

I didn’t know pastebins were still a thing after stack overflow, JS fiddle and codepen replaced all that with more useful info. But I must have a different use case.

Maybe that’s based on streaming prices from 10 years ago, when there was only Hulu and Netflix.

They’re basically telemarketing workers with hacking tools provided by an employer. They follow scripts and click the buttons they’ve been trained to use.

I’m surprised they got in with telnet and not their usual RDP. However I’m not sure they would have gotten anywhere on a Linux box with commands that are so different, unless they were a little familiar with at least MacOS (bash or zsh based now a days).

What kind of connector are you using to the car?

The cheap OBD dongles are all elm 327 only support a basic error reading and clearing, and some basic engine metrics.

Specifically its co-creator was Jeff Atwood, who is also the writer of coding horror and recently posted a pretty good endorsement of Mastadon and other non-twitter services.

He was actually one of only a dozen or so people I followed on very early twitter, before losing interest in the bullshit on there by 2010 or so and moving to Reddit.

They’re going to get more useful data from users they know everything about (threads users) interacting with us, than just scraping with an instance.

Because google and Facebook co-opted it and took over the mindshare of openID.

People keep mentioning that lightings sockets are built to wear out, but I have iPhone 5S and 5C (the really old color) phones that are still working perfectly. Cleaning lint out occasionally is the only irritant I’ve had with these connectors.

I know it’s anecdotal, but between my family and our years of devices, and that my MacBook Pro with USB-C charging is the most finicky of all my devices, I’m a disappointed by the switch from Lightning connectors. Time will tell though I suppose.

Rad project with parts that us hoarders might already have in our junk bins.

That’s the one, couldn’t remember those E’s for a good google search term.

Meta isn’t connecting to Mastodon to make Mastodon better, it’s doing it to get free users for Threads. As soon as it has enough Treads-first users, it will break or stop supporting Mastodon and most users of Mastodon will wonder where all the content went.

This is behind lots of tech companies’ support for open standards. The adopt, modify, dominate, and then drop the open standards and move on.
