  @dusepo@toot.dusepo.co.uk What happens if we add a fifth bean? Is humanity ready?

  @raccoonformality@tech.lgbt Good plan. Every implementation of AI that currently exists is a raging hot garbage fire. Maybe, MAYBE, there's a theoretical implementation that is not pure, condensed evil, but I have not see it. Hell, I struggle to even imagine what it could be in today's world.

  Ok, fedi, having a bit of a perl problem. Perldoc isn't working. Whenever I search for a module that it can find, it displays a read error. (Modules that it can't find return the expected not found error.) Anyone know how to fix this? Search isn't helping. Coding a perl project is gonna be a bit tough without any documentation. #perl #coding

  I happened to catch part of Terminator II on TV today and I noticed Arnold's heads up display had a counter for human casualties. It read 0.0. Which... how do you have partial casualties? What would 2.5 human casualties even look like?

  I'm packing a bag right now for my trip back tomorrow and as I put a towel in, I am reminded of the advice Douglas Adams gave us so many years ago. To this day, I do not travel without my own towel. Even though there is always, always a towel available wherever I go, should the need arise. So, Doug, from the bottom of my heart, fuck you, you glorious bastard.

  I just installed the latest update for Mastodon, and the process went much smoother on the new server. On the old VPS, I usually had to stop all mastodon processes before attempting the update because rebuilding the assets consumed all available resources, then crashed. That no longer happens. I am a happy mastoadmin :mastogrin:

  @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org I have several things muted. Sometimes because they're annoying, sometimes because while they may be serious, there's nothing I can do about it so it just wears me down. And sometimes a hashtag is so full of scams I can't tell who is legit. That gets muted, too.

  @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org You could try a fixie if you really want to bulk up your calves. Those things are a lot of work. I rode one daily for several years and my legs were jacked.

  I just bought the game Palworld. The people who make Pokemon sued them and lost, so I already like them. I guess I'll see what the fuss is all about. :) #Gaming #GamingOnLinux #Palworld

  @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Maybe you can contact that guy and ask. To me, it looks like it was damaged, perhaps during shipping, and the bike store sold it anyway. The fact that the cassette was incorrectly assembled lends some credence to that idea, I think. Then the poor sod who bought it just put in his garage and left it there for forty years. I think I'd try to hammer it out. You can't really make it worse.

  @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Bolivar Peninsula is where an entire town all but disappeared during a hurricane a few years ago. Nearly every building in Crystal Beach was swept away into Galveston Bay. It has since been rebuilt.

  I finally got borgmatic to work under systemd on my mastodon instance. I've been struggling with it for about a week since I first got it to work from the command line. This takes a big load off my mind. Now if darkmoon craps the bed, I'll have seven days of backups to fall back on. #ServerAdmin #Backup #Borg #Borgmatic #Linux

  Sometimes when you're having a problem with something, it's tempting to tell yourself that the system is broken. But it's often better to ask yourself whether you really know the system as well as you think you do. And then go RTFM. That can be a hard lesson.

  Since nobody has observed Mitch McConnell since he collapsed on the floor a few weeks ago, should we assume that he is both alive and dead for the time being? I mean, I was pretty sure he was an elder lich already.

  Progress on backups for Darkmoon. I have successfully made backups for both the database and the filesystem using borgmatic and borgbackup. It uses encryption and SSH keys, and can supply those automatically. Running the full backup from scratch takes about an hour and a half. Subsequent backups take about half an hour. I think that is acceptable. Now it's ready for automation.

  One of my throwaway comments on someone else's post is starting to do numbers. I couldn't understand why, but then I saw the OP was boosted by @lisamelton@mastodon.social so it's getting the knock-on effect. Just goes to show what attention from a big account can do, even indirectly
