  It looks fun, but that price is going to be something to make me pause

  I wonder if we’ll get a lot more anonymous inside details now about the WPengine debacle?

  Doesn’t need to be publicly traded; just about anything with investors looking for a return

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everybody thinks of Do-Re-Mi, but it's Lonely Goatherd that really slaps.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It was only a few weeks ago that I learned “do, re, mi,” etc., are the actual names of the notes in other languages, or at least French. My wife found it confusing that English uses letters, and even more that do is the same note as C in English, so they don’t even start with the same note.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Risks of self-hosting a public-facing forum?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I liked this read when considering legal ramifications for hosting content. It is U.S. focused so it might not be applicable to someone in another country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are probably fediverse instances being run by governments for surveillance purposes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think they really need to run an instance to conduct surveillance on the Fediverse. Maybe it makes things easier, but a lot of this is public anyway. Just because Google isn’t putting a lot of this in search results yet doesn’t mean it can’t be scraped by people who are interested in scraping it.

  Costco has started scanning barcodes and the picture associated with the account appears on a screen employees watch as you walk in now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Space Pirates Are No Longer Confined To Works Of Science Fiction⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In a sense what they’re describing here sort of already happened almost 40 years ago from Captain Midnight knocking HBO off-air.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think might be some fun, positive ways for instances to distinguish themselves?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, like I just learned about gearhead.town which is focused on vehicles (cars, motorcycles, etc.), which is an idea I’d had myself but I’m nowhere near skilled enough to operate an instance right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What kind of car is this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a Jeep Wrangler or Gladiator, and based on the hood and red interior probably one of the higher trims like Rubicon. That’s the larger, 8.4-inch infotainment touchscreen. It’s also the pre-facelift interior, so it’s either a 2018-2023 Wrangler/Wrangler Unlimited (JL/JLU) or 2020-2024 Gladiator (JT). I can’t quite see enough detail but one of the icons on the screen looks more like a pickup truck, so I’m inclined to say it’s a Gladiator. Someone else might chime in with more details.

  I’ve never even heard of this instance, but looks like a lot of relevant communities for me!

  How does it handle posting comments, deciding where to put them?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PieFed supports auto merging threads so you see all the comments in one post⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That seems pretty logical

  This blog post is from December 23, 2023. It looks like there was only one newer blog post, from November 2024.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Substack open source rival Ghost is now connected to the fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They had a fairly detailed blog post a few days or weeks ago about the rollout. The plan is to bring it to open source but they’re still working on issues with it that are easier to control on their own servers. IIRC the code for it is actually in the open source version but disabled. I think they said if you know what you’re doing you could go into the code to enable it but it’s unusably slow right now, or something like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does that apply in Europe? OP says most European capitals have direct flights, that take 2-4 hours, so that probably puts this somewhere in Europe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You bought a bunch of land with no plan for it??

  It looks like it’s been farmed recently. I don’t know what the growing season there is, you might be too late to start this year, but if you can lease it to a farmer for this season that at least has the land be productive while you figure out your longer-term plan. That way you can put plans in place to start work when the growing season is finished.

  I never pay full price for any of the games, they always have a few discounted and rotate through their full catalog eventually.

  There is a website that will redirect to the post on your instance but it looks like I did not bookmark it. I expect someone else will chime in with it.

  Yeah, we never had an NES, but several friends did and I always loved playing on their systems (especially Duck Hunt)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I still consider myself a “young woman” after I turn 24? I turn 24 in March (next month).⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For me (male) even turning 30 didn’t feel “old”; in my mind that was still basically in my 20s. When I turned 31, though, it hit me. Of course, it’s still not old, at most middle age, but hard to say you’re “young” anymore. But hopefully that means mature. You still have a lot of your energy and health, hopefully, but now also hopefully have a better understanding of what to do and how to make the best use of your life for your goals.
