I didn’t know silicon carbide heated up in the microwave. I learned something out of the article.

- Comment on What happens if an instance gets down? 2 weeks ago:
The idea is to migrate the community to Piefed (which I suppose simply creates a local copy from the content in the remote community) then tell all the members that the community has moved.
That’s why I haven’t done it yet, because it’s a massive inconvenience to everybody, and I’m sure Piefed will lose content in the process. And the SDF instance is just functional enough that it’s not worth doing. But I’m really, REALLY close to pulling the trigger.
- Comment on What happens if an instance gets down? 2 weeks ago:
We’ll soon find out: SDF’s Lemmy instance seems to have snuffed it permanently. It’s been performing really poorly - and been inaccessible - for as long as I’ve known it, but now I think SDF just doesn’t care at all anymore.
Unfortunately, I have 2 communities there that I was planning on migrating to Piefed soon, and it might be too late. Hopefully it’ll come back online long enough for me to save them at some point 🙁

Being in a shelter hardly qualifies as having a home. Unless you like shelters maybe…

Have you been to Finland?
6 months of the year, homeless people would freeze to death in short order if they were left outside.
Finland has homeless people, just not on the street.

- Comment on How do wealthy people know if the people they meet are wealthy or not? 2 weeks ago:
Then don’t be ostentatious with your wealth. Don’t advertise it. And if you can’t do that, then maybe don’t get so wealthy.
- Comment on How do wealthy people know if the people they meet are wealthy or not? 2 weeks ago:
Wealthy people don’t mingle with the rest of us. They literally live in a totally different world, and you ain’t invited unless you can clean their toilet or give them massages on a private Caribbean islands and shut your trap.

- Comment on Injured Iranian Supreme Leader Reportedly Secretly Airlifted to Russia for Surgery 3 weeks ago:
It must be serious if they are risking putting Khamenei in a Russian aircraft
On the plus side, it’s not a Boeing aircraft.

your MD believes you’ve healed. book says you should have years ago.
If your doc thinks that, change doc.
In my neck of the woods, doctors are so aware of phantom pains that I can literally walk into any doctor’s office, even one I’ve never met before, and ask for a prescription of Gabapentin or opioid of any denomination at any strength no questions asked. If I was still addicted, I would have no supply problem.
- Comment on Put the shoes on 4 weeks ago:
Well, I still have both my hands, so no 🙂
My feet however… Well no, I don’t have phantom limbs. Never had. Not everybody gets them. And I have very little phantom limb pain - which is a different thing. When I do get it, it’s either in the form of mild electric shocks, which are easy to deal with and possibly even pleasant like a TENS session, or in the form of terrible itching I can’t scratch that can last for up to 3 days.

Or get amputated.
The first times I went to the swimming pool in rehab, I remember feeling “more than 100%” naked in the changing room - if that makes any sense - because bits of me that used to be deep down inside of me were now only skin-deep. It’s a very strange feeling to feel even more naked than naked. Hard to describe.
- Comment on If Programmers are wizards then what are Computer Architects? 4 weeks ago:
Most computer engineers are only engineers in the original sense of railway engineer: they throw coal in the fire to run the engine.
Real engineers (with an engineering degree) are called “senior software engineer”
- Comment on If Programmers are wizards then what are Computer Architects? 4 weeks ago:
Computers architects are like real architects: they’re paid more to design buildings but they don’t know how to lay bricks.

Do we have to take side?
The “American values” of 2026 are about as nauseating as the fucking Iranian clerics’, and both the US and Iran can shove their values where the sun don’t shine.

Damn right. There would be no war if the orange pedo in the White House wasn’t trying desperately to make everybody forget he’s a fucking pedo.
The Ayatollah really need to give an interview and ask “So… How many times is Donald Trump mentioned in the Epstein files again?:

- Comment on Can't believe it's been renamed for a year now! 1 month ago:
Not really. It’s just that only a lunatic fringe in the US calls it the Gulf of America. They can also call the country the Uber Stupendous Amazingistan, if nobody else ro-ro with that, it’s as good as nonexistent.
Point being, while there is no legitimate authority, usage is what makes it official.

I have a security camera at my house. Not for security, but to watch the nature at the back from inside the house.
I specifically did NOT install a SD card in it nor an NVR, so if it’s ever removed as evidence for any kind of reason, it will have no story to tell. And of course, it’s on our LAN and firewalled off the internet.

haha you can’t use them, because you don’t pay, but the government gets a free universal pass.
Well, same for ICE: the fuzz is generally supposed to work for the good of the community, but ICE is working against it, yet you pay for it in your taxes.
The camera too works against you, but through Amazon, not directly.
Shit working against you is a theme these days…

I don’t have a doorbell camera, but I have to go past at least 2 of them every time I leave my home
A spray-paint can goes a long way. Just make sure to approach the damn camera from a blind angle.
The thing with a spray-paint can is, it takes you 2 seconds and a fraction of a penny to disable the camera, while it takes the man beaucoup bucks and a lot of time to fix it.

Today’s world is so weird: online “services” are forced unto you even if you stop paying for them, and visiting kidnappers caught on camera look like ICE officers…
