@drewdevault Explains the question I had about why it's not hosted on SourceHut as well. Nice write up.
@icy Ugh!
@icy Really? I liked how quirky it was. The following books are better I think but I didn't have an issue with book one.
3 Body Problem E1 was not bad. I was expecting to be disappointed but I liked the episode. Some slight deviations but nothing crazy (also it's been so long since I've read the books I may be forgetting some things).
Looking forward to the series.

@penalbatoday You're confusing raw food (harvested) with diet (prepared food). If you don't understand the difference then there's nothing else to discuss.
So you understand, you can also have a very unhealthy vegan diet. French fries, processed foods, also lots of fried foods. These vegan burgers and "chicken" nuggets, etc. are terrible for you but people still eat them, myself included occasionally.
You said something dumb about offering more dietary options means gentrification and I simply said I didn't think it meant that. It's hilarious you're so upset that I called the typical nica diet unhealthy. I don't know a single nica (and all my friend group here is nica) who would disagree with that.
Hell my domestic employee just resigned for health reasons, caused solely by terrible diet (her doctors words, not mine). She's 24 years old and is starting the road into diabetes. All sugar, all oil, all fried, all sodas. We've tried to help her but she admits she can't stop eating that way. It's how she's always eaten.
@john Was just thinking about this the other day. All of that has disappeared.
Lawsuit from Elon Musk’s X against anti-hate speech group dismissed by US judge

@penalbatoday
@penalbatoday Hah, come on man. I buy all my fruits/veggies from Mayoreo or vendors in my local area. But stop acting like the typical nica diet includes a lot of vegetables. It doesn't. It's oil, sugar, various animal proteins, gallo pinto (fried rice/beans), and sugary drinks. Even the naturales have so much sugar it's hard to drink one (for me). I usually ask if they can make me one without sugar.
A salad in a typical nica restaurant is lettuce, tomato and onions.
Again, I'm only saying options are good, not "prejudice" against Nica food. Shit, I'm from EEUU, our diet is worse than Nica's.
@penalbatoday Not sure what hostel owners have to do with this but yea you're right about most of them lol. I mentioned Coca and fried foods because we're talking about diet. Are you seriously going to try and claim the typical nica diet is healthy?
I'm not even advocating for a change in diet completely but having options for those who don't want fritanga or another churrasco is a good thing.
As for gentrification, outside of SJDS, I can't think of a single place in the country that has any signs of it. Maybe small beach towns like El Transito and Popoyo/Guasacate but these are tiny towns where mostly (only?) foreigners are currently investing. I hope that changes with the coming Costa Nera.
@penalbatoday Obviously and I didn't claim they were. I said I didn't think vegan options are a sign of incoming gentrification but a sign of progress that Nica desperately needs in many areas. Especially diet. Fried everything and coca-cola instead of water isn't healthy long term.
@penalbatoday It's called progress. Something Nica needs a lot more of.

@tedu web.go:2667 you need to wrap uid

Looks like it's an issue with a small cluster of servers that I happen to be routed to. I manually specified the fingerprint for now as a work around. Also tested directly with other clusters and didn't have any issue with verification so, whatever.
Google support was of course of no help with this at all. Though that I can understand. They're just general support agents reading instructions from a KB.

@drewdevault Sweet! Looking forward to this being done so I can migrate my install to Alpine.
Anyone else having trouble sending email via #Google mail servers (#gmail)? I use msmtp to send mail locally and never have issues but today I'm getting:
errormsg='TLS certificate verification failed: self-signed certificate'
when using smtp.gmail.com
.
Just curious if my system updates this morning broke something or if others are also seeing issues. I assume it's not me because my two other accounts not hosting on gmail work fine.
@knapjack I use these locks in multiple places and I f'n love them. Very reliable, weather resistant, batteries last years (just 1 D battery), etc.

@ptd Hero!
Thoughts on #Hetzner cloud? I need to ditch a couple of final droplets on Digital Ocean and I've been considering Hetzner so curious to see peoples opinion of the service? I've always heard great things about their dedicated but haven't done much research into their cloud offerings.
I'd probably go with the US Oregon mainly for proximity to our LA data center hosting.
Thanks!
GraphQL is pretty great. That is all.
@durin42 @meatballhat Think I'll order an open face sandwich tonight.

Old new reddit was bad but new new reddit is worse.
On days where I do 2 heavy compound lifts (like today) I'm convinced there's not enough food in the country of Nicaragua to keep my belly at bay. Huuuungry!

@gonzalo @icy It was very good indeed. Strayed a bit from the books I guess for Hollywood drama effect but I enjoyed it. Some of the battle scenes were just nuts.
@gonzalo @icy There are 6 books in the series so I imagine more movies will come. I don't want to give any spoilers but the cast will rotate after this movie if the books are followed.
@icy Honestly the first one was way better than I thought which provoked me to read the book. The book was so f'n good I read the entire 6 book series back-to-back and was pretty sad there weren't more to come (I don't want to read his son's books). So I have high hopes for the movie tonight.
Survived Colombia and had a blast. Trying to survive the heat back here in Nicaragua. It's approaching the hottest time of year and damn it's hot!
Maybe fittingly (heat wise), I'm going to watch Dune Deuce tonight.

@tvler @icy Nice. Thanks for the share.
Cool. New reddit interface that completely ignores my "compact" feed settings.
@asmartbear Great read! Thanks for sharing (especially on the Fediverse)
@icy I think because @tvler works there LOL. I never heard of it and then clicked when looking into StreetPass and now I see it a lot too
@icy Something may be off. When going to Tyler's site I see his name in StreetPass. When I go to yours, I do not. I updated my site and integrated your patch (small changes to work with updated honk) and same, my name doesn't show in street pass.

@knapjack Hah, nice!
@tvler Yea, something must have happened the first time. I just removed & reinstalled it. Works now. Thanks.
Yea, Judd used to work for an agency called HUGE and they contracted my company for years. I always liked him and thought he was very savvy in product design and strategy. We didn't get to work together too often but I was happy to see his success with Open Listings.

Hi @tvler, new StreetPass user (shoutout to @icy) and just installed on FireFox (Linux, v122.0), but the icon doesn't appear and in settings everything appears to be correct. It's installed, etc. I've restarted FF and even going to your own homepage for instance, I don't see any way to view the fedi account list.
For sure I'm doing something really dumb but figured I'd ask if there's something else I need to do here.
Also, I see you're in LA and used to work at Open Listings. I'm a born & bred Angelino and also worked with Judd for a while.
@icy Neat. I've never seen StreetPass before. I guess you just put the "me" link to your honk profile and with the added avatar, it works?

New York AG Letitia James tells ABC News that she's prepared to seize #Trump's buildings if he can't pay his $354 million civil fraud fine.
"If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will ask the judge to seize his assets."
@rysiek Of course. I just mean they're both useful for non-tech types. Most of the not so tech savvy people I know say Signal isn't user friendly enough to use regularly, so I think these steps are in the right direction.
@crft Probably. I don't know. I only have to use it with this one client so shrugs
@rysiek oh I agree. But more and more you see that for wide adoption you have to play nice with normal users, not just security/IT geeks. So we have stories, usernames, etc.
More and more Signal is becoming Telegram:

@ptd @tedu I'm having a full on conversation with someone and it's not on my public timeline. Also the messages are in a different color so I assume that's to show it's a DM/private chat.
@zev @tedu Interesting. Yea when I first tried to message you I just used @zev and got the "Who is that?" error. Then I put your full username url in and it worked.
@zev @tedu Just sent you a chatter, let's see if it works :)

2. Dolphins are a type of toothed whale
Instagram ads are wild in Latin America. Also, why am I in their target audience for this ad?
Telling my kids this is what Gene Simmons looked like before being transformed by the devil's rock and roll.
@tedu All the feels.
@tedu Yea. I think my Pixel -> Pixel migrations in the past were smoother. This Pixel -> Samsung was a pain though. I still haven't gotten my Whatsapp stickers moved over yet. Whatsapp, and our stickers, are embarrassingly important here in Latin America.
