For the same reason republicans won’t: They’re on the list, their friends are on the list and their donors are on the list.

Journal. Let your feelings out, incrementally, in a place that you don’t feel vulnerable for doing so.

Today co-worker did X, they’re a cunt. It annoys me because Y. Seriously, Co-worker is a dick. At the time I wish I had done Z, but Z is illegal. Nexr time I’ll try [reasonable action]

No OP being a bundle of sticks?

Thank you, saved. I’d still be a little but fucked, but not entirely.

I guess I should get on with learning/donating to this soon while the sun’s still shining with Tailscale. Slower, more gentle transition, fuck up in some dev environment instead of my actual server. Goddamn was tailscale so easy though.

Big words. I hope, though don’t trust, they can live up to them. But if tailscale goes, I’m just plain fucked. Thats certainly an indicator they’re worth some money to me, but there’s many a FOSS project before I get to paying a VC one.

As an aside, an interesting service would be a fund allocation type thing. You donate £x, tick which services you use and the funds get divvied up by what you use. Only able to donate £10 but use a lot of services? Each service gets very little, too little to donate as an individual, so little the individual doesn’t. But, on aggregate (with hundreds, or dozens of users) it would add up to a worthwhile donation. I thought of "round robin"ing my donations: pihole gets 10 this month, jellyfin the next, audiobookshelf the month after that… but yikes the admin.

Funds are donated when £x is accrued at the end of the month, and the service is maintained by earning interest on the funds held through the month. Idealistic, ripe for abuse, and out of my league to write and administrate. I promise I’d publish all the finances to keep me honest though.

It’s not weird at all. They’re share holder corpos, anti-morality is par for course. Corporations are not our friends.

Agreed. I’ll get over myself one day and build one. For now Airvpn supports port forwarding at an affordable (to me) price, so I let them deal with the moral dilemma.

It’s coming though, i2p is where my server is headed, even if I keep a VPN up too.

I really want to build an i2p router, and have started a couple times, but the lack of control of what goes through my hardware stops me every time. It’s a cool project and, sadly, looking more necessary every year.

It’s weird I don’t have these hang ups for other systems. Running a meshcore node doesn’t give me the willies. Just for i2p I worry how much csam is going through my router.

Someone doesn’t know the folly of extending straight lines graphs into the future.

I’m a little embarrassed about how many of these, if not for the thread, sound like believable names to me. Mayhaps I’m not as cultured as I would like to think.

It is, given the thread thanks for the correction. Fixed

There’s value in accentuating a point, don’t let me make you feel otherwise. Just for me, personally, I don’t like using i.e.

I know the difference between i.e and e.g. but I’ve never really seen the point in i.e. if you’re just going to enumerate what you mean anyway. It is like using “it” to replace a noun, but then explaining what you meant by “it” right next to the usage:

It (using i.e.) is like using “it” (the pronoun used as a shorthand for other nouns) to replace a noun, but then explaining what you meant by “it” (the pronoun used as a shorthand for other nouns) right next to the usage.

It’s clumsy, just use the list if you’re going to list them anyway.

I like dairy products i.e. milk cream, cheese and yoghurt.

I like milk, cream, cheese and yoghurt

‘Who’ Vs ‘whom’.

Answer the question with ‘he’ Vs ‘him’ and match the 'm’s is an easy rule of thumb.

He went to the park: who went to the park?

You called him: Whom did you call?

I understand why it’s falling out of usage, as the strong SVO eliminates the need for accusatives, I wouldn’t be surprised if ‘him’ and ‘her’ go away next. Knowing and using ‘whom’ sure helped me with the ‘-n’ affix when learning Esperanto though, also fuck ‘-n’ signed: English speakers. Replace the word with whom, him or her and if it’s clumsy you don’t need the -n.

Now, if I could just wrap my head around ‘si’ Vs ‘li’, ‘ŝi’ and ‘ri’. Or, a solid rule of thumb, that would be so nice. I promise I’m not a toddler, I just talk like one.

🎵Whom ya gonna call? Ghostbusters!!!🎵

I’m sorry

+1 if they can rp the incompetence into an adv roll. Literal weaponised incompetence

I’ve been doing “tipsy chore day” for a while. Do a chore > glass of wine > do another chore > glass of wine… I may as well finish the bottle > do a chore > final glass.

Chores are less boring, and you push through them to get your next glass. Has to be wine though, beer I don’t get a buzz going, and spirits have me incompetent.

If I were a narcissist, given the scenario, how would my actions be different from what actually happened.

I’m not great at interrupting negative behaviours currently, but this helps me recognise them after the fact.

A book about loss. Loss of family. Loss of country. Loss of culture. Loss of all things. It’s beautifully written, and the theme of loss doesn’t mean a somber tone throughout, the found family is strong.

Vikunja feature request: once a day export “due today” tasks to printer, mark as done when printed. One day I’ll learn python and could script this myself… One day.

Vikunja is how my fiancée and I keep track of housework, we’re both neurospicy. But, like the author if I forget one day, the system completely breaks until I make a conscious effort to start again. By then the list is over run with "overdue"s it’s a little disheartening.
