The act of flying sucks! I love seeing new places, etc. but airports are the worst.

Add on to it, I need to go through customs in El Salvador, get my bags, check back into Iberia airlines, check my bags, go through customs again and re-enter the damn airport.

There was no way for me to buy these tickets together so they'd be auto routed (thanks Iberia!)

Anyway, see you soon Spain. Gonna spend xmas and NY with my daughters out there.

WhatsApp going down is a huge problem in the 3rd world. Especially Latin America where most of the damn region's economy runs off it. Fun times.

@skwee357 @jayroh @solnic Well, if it's for more experienced people I think a few years operating a business as a good starter or at least revenue above say X/yr.

Maybe the members business should be in the online vicinity, ie, it doesn't have to be SaaS or online products per se but at least have something to contribute that is online related (marketing, writing, lead gen, etc. exp)

Commit to a monthly meeting (Google Meet or whatever) and attendance requirements for the year (ie, miss more than 3 and you're out).

Just some thoughts off the top of my head.

@jayroh @skwee357 @solnic I liked WIP (wip.co) for a while but then it got kind of popular and the Telegram group sort of got ruined.

The obvious clique of ppl moved into a private group and the rest were mostly people who haven't made a single dollar yet. Which is fine but didn't provide me much value for me personally, so I canceled my sub.

My community, I guess, is made up of friends who also are business owners and we have a private chat group. It helps honestly. Also quite a few real life friends are also business owners so I get to bounce ideas and stuff of people normally. Though in that group, they aren't very tech savvy so there's that limitation.

I'd be interested in participating in a similar new group with new people if there are strict rules that are verified and if the group is kept small (ie, max 15 ppl)

I'm about 6 months in with my new ThinkPad P14 series. I love this thing except the keyboard. I really miss the keyboard on my ThinkPad X1 Carbon series.

Yesterday I added a new function to call when a new user creates their account. This will be triggered when they confirm their email address.

For testing purposes I didn't add it as an async call to begin with. Once it all was working and tested I committed & pushed.

Forward to 4am this morning when I jolt awake with the realization that I didn't move the call to an async task. This bothered me so much I couldn't sleep so I had to get up and make the change.

The moral is: don't get into software development.

Dune Prophecy S1E1 was not terrible. Let's see how it progresses.

This looks eerily familiar with Honk's "first" feed. Another @tedu innovation being stolen by big tech.

Bluesky feed that is exactly like the honk "first" feed

Today was my heavy (ish) squat day and also the first time I've ever used knee sleeves. Gotta say, I am pretty annoyed I didn't buy a pair sooner. Really helped with the knee aches during rest periods. I got the SBD powerlifting 7mm pair. Highly recommend!

Not sure why because I'm not a city nerd (but I do like most of the "urbanist" ideas) but I'm a huge fan of @nerd4cities YT channel.

Anyhoo, I see in your latest video you said bye bye to the bird site - Good for you. Looking forward to you posting more on the Fediverse.

What a weird and wild game. At some point the #Dodgers pitching was so bad I almost turned it off because I couldn't stomach watching walk after walk.

Some how they came back from 5-0 and won the game! World Series Champions!!!

@tedu Gotcha. I only needed it for a dovecot integration that needed some bug fixing. I got so frustrated I was going to write a program in Go and just have the Lua script call it but I couldn't figure out how to read/write to the process hah!

So I ended up fixing it in Lua after an hour or two of troubleshooting and throwing my laptop around the room.

@john @jbcrawford I haven't live in Abq since 2004 but I went last year for work reasons and was shocked at how much certain parts of the city have improved. Nob Hill was nicer. The Central Ave bus improvements and generally all along this few mile stretch was also amazing to see.

Cool bars and restaurants. Lots of vegan options. I really wished I'd appreciated NM more when I lived there because I totally enjoyed returning to visit. I was not expecting that.

My wife and I drank a bottle of wine last night watching the latest Penguin and after it was over, we discovered there is the new (and final) season of My Brilliant Friend currently rolling out. Not sure how I missed this but it's already 7 episodes aired so we're binging until caught up.

Those 4 books are so damn good and the series is nearly as good. If you haven't read/seen it, I highly recommend doing so (both!)

I've never struggled so hard to figure how to do something so simple (ie, send a http request or spawn a process where I can read/write to it) than I have with #Lua. I know it has it's fans but jeez.

Most search results are from like 2007 and recommend using 3rd party gists or partial solutions.

Discussion of sharing of nonconsensual nude imagery

Discussion of sharing of nonconsensual nude imagery

Researchers uploaded 50 nude photos to X.

Then, it reported 25 of them for being nonconsensual. And the other as "copyright infringements."

X removed the copyright-reported nude images.
The nonconsensual nude photos stayed.

Please share.

As Cat 4 Hurricane Milton prepares to wreck havoc on Florida, a reminder that Gov DeSantis rejected $11B in Federal aid meant to address climate & infrastructure, & banned the phrase "climate change" from Florida laws.

Republicans are proving "Don't Look Up" was a documentary.
