@icy @benjojo I did a sort of merge between both of your work but it still doesn't work for me. I was gonna try just using Ben's today at some point and see if that works for me.

@benjojo @icy Cool. Thanks!
@drewdevault If you're in the US less than 30 days a year you can quality for foreign earned income tax credit, where I think it's currently at 126.5K/year tax free. After that you're taxed on the normal bracket system.
This is what I do.
@benjojo Did you patch honk? I know @icy had something for this before but I never actually got it working on honk and afaik, he never got back around to it.
Dutch government announces that they'll make Mastodon available to all layers of the entire Dutch government, as a shared service of the government, starting in 2025!
The Mastodon pilot of the government celebrates their 1-year anniversary today, and as part of the evaluation they stated the Mastodon pilot "strengthens digital autonomy and [creates] a safe and reliable information supply".

@icy Oh, you don't know how many times I've heard "But you talk like a white guy" or also, "You don't look Hispanic, you look white?" I expect dumb comments like that in the US but I guess I shouldn't assume it's only a US thing.
In #Nicaragua, immigrants who just have residency (like myself) have to renew it every 6 months. It's an easy process but just usually very slow and very hot/uncomfortable/sweaty.
Today I had it done in record time. 2 hours and 10 minutes. Also wasn't terribly hot because we had both a tropical storm and a hurricane cover the country for the last week. So still a lot of residue cloud coverage. My own little silver lining.
@john @ols Good catch. Still, I must know why?
@ols But why are you being scolded?
Absentee ballot printed. Time to vote for a candidate who's not: 1) a convicted felon, 2) a grifter, and 3) orange.
@ols Hah, dude. You really framed that like it was a rugby injury. Nice one!
@ols My man plays rugby and wonders why his body hurts 
Also vegan high five!
@ols Did you do something specific to it? Is it an injury or ongoing pain?
I ask because I had lower back pain and sciatic issues most of my life. What used to help me a lot was a few stretches I'd do in the morning and evening but it never really resolved it. Also you should try to reduce dairy/red meats as they're pretty inflammatory and that can cause pressure on nerves, etc.
Since going vegan 8 years ago I've had no back pain at all, I assume due to way less inflammation in my body. Not preaching veganism to you, just saying that's what worked for me.
@ptd Hah, for real!
This photo of the Bridge Fire in the hills behind Los Angeles speaks to the fact that we are in the midst of a cataclysm and the vast majority of people have no idea
Multiple analyses show that if Trump had simply invested his multi-million-dollar inheritance in an index fund and didn’t touch it, he’d be a lot richer than he is now.
Think about that. His entire life’s work has been less successful than if he’d done nothing.
@tedu I think I'll wait for reactions (yours!) of S3 then before giving new hours to the series.
Was on vacation last week. Did I miss anything good?
@tedu Is season 2 good? I watched S1 and I wasn't that in love with the series. I was surprised to see a new season, which was S3. I had no idea S2 even existed. I may give it another shot.

9850 Americans or 0.0029% of Americans are worth $100M or more, and could be subject to Harris's 25% tax on unrealized gains.
265,200,000 Americans or 78% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
The people who might 'only' be worth $75M want to lecture working Americans struggling to get by on how difficult life might become for them.

Tesla: Other than showing off, there is no reason to have one of these in Nicaragua (currently anyway, no real infrastructure or replacement parts here for this)
Motorcycle: You see people carrying all sorts of crap on their motorcycles here. I've seen a mid sized fridge once. But this one, takes the cake.
Mike Masnick on Zuckerberg’s cowardly letter to Jim Jordan:
"The only actual “news” out of all this is (1) Zuckerberg has no spine and simply cannot stand up to bad faith government pressure to change his moderation practices when it comes from Republicans (he was fine doing so when it came from Democrats) and (2) Donald Trump has accused himself of rigging his own election against himself.”

@pronto Woah those are neat. I should look into those for our farm pre-rolls. We mostly sell rosin but we got some fire pre-rolls and hash holes too that would look cool in those.
@pronto @computerywar Hah. I think the rule of thumb is 1 tbsp for every cup. I generally use 6 tbsp for 7-8 cups of water. Tastes great.
Three days ago my #github account was apparently “flagged” (whatever that means).
I wasn’t notified about it. No email. No banner in my account. I only discovered it when a workflow I was testing wasn’t working and my signed commits were “unverified” because “no email address is associated with the committer”. A friend at work then told me my profile page 404’d.
8 hours later GitHub also deleted the codespace powering my GitHub pages-hosted website, taking it offline.

How come we never hear media report that in the year prior to 10/7—Hamas killed 250 Israeli civilians, kidnapped 800 Israeli kids, took 8000 Israelis hostage, & built more than 12,000 homes on Israeli land?
You know why?
Because Hamas did none of those things. In reality, in the year prior to 10/7, the Israeli Govt killed 250 Palestinian civilians, kidnapped 800 Palestinian kids, took 8000 Palestinians hostage, & built 12,000+ homes on Palestinian land.
But go on—pretend this all began 10/7.

@icy Apple appears to be trying to tell you something.
@ols Eyyyy new icon dropped on my side now
@knapjack also accidentally bonked your reply hah. Oops
@knapjack Hah, I feel you
@petersanchez That's good to hear.
I don't love wires but I like batteries less. 😂
@crft Well I live here so I'm always around. Drew I think is staying 6 months (he's renting an apartment). Yea, it's not terribly expensive to travel here.
@knapjack I have that kb (bluetooth version) and it's great! I use it when traveling mostly but it's a very nice kb.
@crft No, I didn't end up in OC. I wouldn't choose to live in the OC lol.
What will we get up to? Drinking, beaches, and coding. About it.
Sunset and sunrise views from the hills in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.
@AndrewHacks @crft You'll never do it. Though happy you have your flight booked for next week. Maybe Craft should come down and hang for a week or so too.
Also when Drew says 12 miles from the beach in LA, he means K-Town to Santa Monica. Aka, top 5 worst drives in the US. Then you gotta beach in Santa Monica which usually isn't that great due to tourist crowds.
I used to live in Cerritos and would shoot down to HB several mornings a week to surf. I loved it. Took about 25 minutes to get there and the drive back was usually easy. If there was traffic I could take the streets.
I just cut the line at living in OC. I may be a mile or two from the county border but f*ck living in OC.
That's your wife?

@ols @icy Yea, manual query shows the right photo URL and the image loads. So I guess once caches start expiring it'll show up.
@icy @ols Sorry just seeing this but icy is correct. And yes the files go in the <datadir>/memes folder. Here's what my profile looks like:
@icy Nice
@icy Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it. Yea, the story could have been tuned up a bit and you could pretty much see where things were heading from mid-way but I just found the entire process so much fun to watch. I was scared a few times where I sort of jumped in my seat. Love when a movie can do that!
Plus the Nicholas Cage character was so damn creepy.
Randomly remembering the time I was walking down Venice Beach with my daughters and my buddy and his kids were with us. Enjoying the amazing SoCal weather when all of a sudden, a seagull drops a giant turd right on his eyeball.
Myself, and the kids, couldn't stop laughing even though he was in obvious pain. I haven't laughed that hard in a very long time. He had to get antibiotics and everything. Good times were had by all... well except my friend and his eyeball but the rest of us had a great day.
@jpmens From my insight as an American I think the vast majority know he's a moron. The problem is, he (claims to) represent something they agree heavily with. Lower taxes, Christian values, immigrants, racism, etc.
Still, it does seem like more and more Trump voters in 2016 will not be voting for him this year. I hope anyway.
But then again, the US never ceases to disappoint me so...
@knapjack @icy Yea, we still have one domain hosting on DBE. It's just got so much history that migrating off of it is a pain in the ass. Especially with the daily transfer limits they impose to prevent this.
@pronto Pretty neat dude!
@knapjack @icy Those are the things the ruined email for me, so in the terminal is a nice escape from today's email.
Sad how many companies send an email without a text/plain part.
@veganeasy Thanks for the reply! Pretty hard to beat tofu scramble burritos with some potatoes, bell peppers and mushrooms mixed in. I think I'll start throwing those into the mix.
@jaystephens Yea this is fairly similar to my oats I have pre gym session. Was thinking of just a bigger portion of the same oats but with protein powder mixed in. Probably pretty delicious. Thanks for the reply!
@mthx Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I live in Nicaragua and most of those items are not available. However a good tofu toast may be a good starting point. Thanks!
Hey #vegan fediverse folk. What's your go to breakfast for after a gym session that is NOT a smoothie? Preferably high in protein and carbs (I like power lifting).
Just looking for ideas to switch things up a bit. Decades of smoothies is starting to turn me off.
Please help me with a boost (bonk) so I can get all the gains. Thanks!

@icy I hear you. It's just so convenient + fast for me I can't imagine moving to a GUI client
@icy Please let me know your thoughts once you've seen it. My daughter and I are horror fans and are usually bored of the latest stuff coming out. Pretty refreshing how much we both enjoyed the movie.
Realizing I never honk'd about the movie Long Legs. Go watch it! It's one of the best of that genre that I've seen in a while. Nick Cage was actually amazing. Such a creepy performance.
I rarely go to the cinema to re-watch a movie but I think I'll do that once it arrives here in Nicaragua next week.
@icy I know you want GUI but after using mutt for decades I recently switched to aerc and I gotta say, I love it.
@icy @tedu hah yea, makes sense.
@knapjack @icy @tedu You're telling me I've been using chop sticks all this time and I shouldn't have been?
@icy Hah, when I first started honking I pulled in patches from you and others and it was sort of painful merging but it's been like a year or so since I merged anything from the outside and @tedu has incorporated most of what I wanted anyway so now it's pretty painless to update my fork.
@icy I can see you like living on the edge.
Olympic Australian break dancing has provided some of the best meme material I've seen in a while. Well done to my peeps down under.
@tedu @knapjack Ah, looks like I already migrated to file storage back when it was first introduced into the code base. My history file shows I've already ran it.
@novalis@honk.novalis.org Sounds like a plan!
It is now Wikipedia official, after a long and painful debate.
It is a genocide.

Sidebar: and it is so, because the US has ensured that it will continue to be funded and will do everything in its power to let it continue.
@novalis@honk.novalis.org ouch! How often do you re-read previous books to keep it fresh?
@knapjack @tedu Sooo we have to run ./honk extractblobs after building?
@knapjack Really? I'll have to look for it. I'm sure I can get it
@icy @tedu OK cool. I'll add it for my next read. I need a break from all the biographies I've been reading.
@icy @tedu Sounds like I actually need to read Patrick Rothfuss. Suggested starting point?
@inwit @tootadyneLPD jaja!
I'm so annoyed (I know I shouldn't be) that Phillip Pullman has yet to finish his Book of Dust trilogy. I've been waiting for the 3rd book for 5 years now.
I think I'll re-read the His Dark Materials trilogy again because it's been quite a while since I last read those and maybe it'll help shut me up about the current delay.
@knapjack Hah, neat. I was really just joking anyway but it feels like nearly every *nix based screenshot in the last 20ish years must have the matrix effect
Can we go ahead and retire the matrix effect terminal in screenshots yet?

To folks who manage #Kubernetes—be it at home or at work—I have a few questions for you.
- What are your biggest annoyances with running Kubernetes?
- And if you use a managed Kubernetes service, what do you like/dislike about it?
- And finally, do you see value in being able to bring your own VMs/bare-metal machines as the workers, and have only the control plane be managed?
I'd really appreciate boosts!
