I cook cut off a part of myself and sous vide it at my body temp and it would cook and be edible.
Can you really? Your internal body temp? Around 37C or under 100F? I can’t find any sous vide recipes that low. I can’t find anything under 50C, which would kill you if it was your internal body temperature.

Except the part where all incognito tabs/windows share the same session.

And you still won’t explain why!
- Comment on Study: Remote working benefits fathers while childless men miss sense of community 1 week ago:
It may be both a factor of who you live with (the ones itching to get back to the office either lived alone or with people they didn’t really gel with), and could have also been the length of time we were in lockdown (we had one of the strongest in the world - for the first 6 weeks or so even McDonald’s wasn’t allowed to open). After a couple of months of not being allowed to leave the house and having no face to face contact with friends or family, I can understand the desire to get back to the office. The people I have in mind mostly lived close to the office, too.
One other factor may have been that our remote working infrastructure was in no way ready for the entire organisation to work from home with a couple of day’s notice. Video calls were just not possible for the first stretch as the work computers were all VPNed through a potato.
- Comment on Study: Remote working benefits fathers while childless men miss sense of community 1 week ago:
This was also my experience during the main sweep of the pandemic. It was so great getting to cut the commute and be home. Something I have luckily managed to largely continue. Prior to the pandemic my kid was in daycare pretty much 7:30-5:30 so it was really nice to not have to do that, plus during our lockdown we used to go for a family walk at lunchtime.
While some of the single guys I worked with hated staying home and were straight back in the office the moment they were allowed.
- Comment on iFixit says the Switch 2 is even harder to repair than the original 2 weeks ago:
Haha when they did that blog post to change the switch from 8/10 to 4/10 saying they don’t normally do that but wanted to make sure you could compare the 2 properly against the original, I thought they were making space for the 2 to be above the original, not that they were going to mark it as worse 😅
- Comment on Slrpnk.net outage 3 weeks ago:
Many of the .ee communities are in the process of migrating, so hopefully the list can be updated with their new homes.
- Comment on Here's for 2 years since I joined Lemmy 3 weeks ago:
2 years for me as well!
- Comment on Kinda fucked up tbh 3 weeks ago:
Are there enough trampolines on earth that we could reasonably expect that at any time there is at least one person in the upper part of their jump on a trampoline?
- Comment on Kinda fucked up tbh 4 weeks ago:
I mean 30,000 feet is 9km. The Kármán line is 100km. The ISS is at an average altitude of 400km.
It’s a bit like saying people in planes don’t count as flying because then people on trampolines should count.

Presumably standing seats means standing up? Hopefully not squatting seats.
- Comment on YouTube will use Gemini to insert ads around the parts of a video you care about most 5 weeks ago:
Isn’t it a bit weird since they already have the technology to see which parts you care about most.
Why do they need to use Gemini instead of just basic data analysis to see where viewership drops at the end of a peak part and insert the ad there?
- Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 5 weeks ago:
Oh I was comparing Disney+ Standard to Netflix Standard. Turns out there’s also Netflix Basic which is a similar price to Disney+ Standard, but with many more restrictions.
I think Disney+ Standard and Netflix Standard seem to be comparable. In NZD Disney+ is $16.99 (approx $10USD)and Netflix is $25.99 (approx $15USD) per month. Disney+ gives annual discounts as well.
None of the plans in NZ seem to have ads (yet…).
Though I don’t think they- charge extra for 4k so there is that.
Out of the two plans I see, the Standard only includes up to 1080p and 4k requires Premium, $21.99NZD (approx $13USD).
- Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 5 weeks ago:
Half of new Netflix subscribers opt for the $8 per month option rather than ad-free subscriptions, which start at $18 per month, the company says.
Damn, when did it get so expensive? Assuming that’s USD. That’s a decent amount more than Disney+, right?

Is this not awesome?
- Comment on How do I run docker compose on Bazzite? 1 month ago:
Ok thanks, I’ll have to be extra careful deploying any changes.
- Comment on How do I run docker compose on Bazzite? 1 month ago:
Thanks! I did see there’s a docker format and a podman format which I assume is what this difference is about. I’m not against discord but I’ve never really used it. I’ll check it out if I get desperate 🙂
- Comment on How do I run docker compose on Bazzite? 1 month ago:
I seem to have got it working using podman, adding a Z flag to the bind mount to make SELinux happy.
- Comment on How do I run docker compose on Bazzite? 1 month ago:
Oh shit I think that’s it! I’ve added that Z flag to each bind mount declaration in compose.yaml, and it seems to be running properly now. Thanks!
Any idea what the implications are of this transferring to an ubuntu based distro?
- Comment on How do I run docker compose on Bazzite? 1 month ago:
As far as I can tell, you just run the command with sudo to run as root? But this doesn’t help, I have been using sudo.
- Comment on How do I run docker compose on Bazzite? 1 month ago:
I’m already using bind mounts under the /home directory. I learnt pretty early on day 1 not to fight the distro, so I’m trying to understand the way Bazzite wants this to be done. From another reply, it sounds like it’s a difference in rootless/rootful containers so I’m going to try to work out how to run a podman container as root and see if this helps.
- Comment on How do I run docker compose on Bazzite? 1 month ago:
Thanks, I will have a go at trying to get it running as a rootful container!
- Comment on How do I run docker compose on Bazzite? 1 month ago:
I was running Nobara before, which is also based on Fedora.

Ah well, it’s been the law here for 20 years.
I’m also reading about how our NZ/Australia socket was based on an American 125v socket design, later upgraded to allow 240v.
- Comment on The clueless people are out there among us 1 month ago:
Does NA not have insulated pins? Where a half inch of so of the pin nearest the plug head is insulated so when plugging in the exposed part of the pin is inside the hole before the pin makes contact with live power?
- Comment on The Mobile Browsers That Stick Their Noses Into Your Business 1 month ago:
Both are open source. Brave takes Chromium and disables most tracking. TOR takes Firefox and disables all tracking.
The Chromium vs Gecko debate is not about data collection, but about control of web standards.

But if you can taste the coke, doesn’t that mean you don’t have enough alcohol in there?
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 1 month ago:
I guess my position is that I am not worried about someone confirming content exists on my server. But I don’t live in the US, if I did I might be more worried. I also geofence to my country to limit exposure.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 1 month ago:
Cheers for that. Many of these issues allow a user to do admin actions if they do the right things, so it seems you should never allow a user that you don’t fully trust to have an account.
But outside of this, there isn’t anything in there that on its own worries me given the nature of the platform (that is, that if it all burnt down I could retrieve all data from other sources). I’m no expert but a cursory look shows a bunch of potential issues that may be layered with other issues but no clear attack path except with prior knowledge.
These should obviously be fixed but there’s nothing that makes me want to rip my server off the open internet in a hurry.
