Sure. How much weight does that have when Sacramento decides to run a water pipeline from Capilano to eastern Washington or whatever?

God we have trouble enough with Toronto thinking it’s the centre of the world and ignoring BC. We’d have zero influence in Cascadia.

- Comment on Beyond Beef? Impossible Beef? I Can't Believe It's Not Beef? 2 weeks ago:
I quite like both Impossible and Beyond burgers. Honestly, better than a lot of the shitty fast food Styrofoam “meat” they try to pass off.

Hand to the gods, I thought MS owned gitlab. Good to know.

I guess we should start thinking about replacing Gitlab at work. Vendor lockin will be a serious problem else.

- Comment on BE NOT AFRAID, MORTAL 2 weeks ago:
No visible mold. I’d pour off the hooch, put it through a couple feeding cycles, and see how it smells.

- Comment on "I support it only if it's open source" should be a more common viewpoint 3 weeks ago:
Consider, though, the value you received in non-monetary terms. How much would you have had to pay?
- Comment on "I support it only if it's open source" should be a more common viewpoint 3 weeks ago:
How about, if we must have military drones, they should be open source.

- Comment on If I wanted to bury a hard drive for archival purposes (e.g. Country becoming Dictatorship), how to keep the contents from being damaged and where is the safest place to bury it? 3 weeks ago:
A raid6 array across a collection of separate disks might do it.

Not difficult, or even expensive, to find a working 20 year old machine with a 3.5" FDD. Also I work at a library and we keep a couple of well bagged USB floppy drives around for profs who occasionally need data retrieval. Hasn’t happened in a couple years though. We also have an old Dell for 5.25".

- Comment on Real milk proteins, no cows: Engineered bacteria pave the way for vegan cheese and yogurt 1 month ago:
Sometimes! Lactose is not easily fermentable, so it leaves residual sugars and a unique silky feel. Mostly in darker beers, like milk stouts or chocolate porters.
- Comment on Real milk proteins, no cows: Engineered bacteria pave the way for vegan cheese and yogurt 1 month ago:
Lactose has a specific mouthfeel in beers, so I buy it would change cheeses dramatically.

Oh, that is interesting.
- Comment on Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USA 1 month ago:
Pretty much, though I use a lot of jq these days and many tools support json output and input. I’d love to see that paradigm expanded for more Unix tools. Maybe a new kind of pipe symbol for shells that implies strict json objects.
