I can’t stand it, I know you planned it

I can’t stand rocking when I’m in here 'Cause your crystal ball ain’t so crystal clear

Bro they just want to paint.

My NAS just arrived today. I’ll have ~42 TB of self hosted storage for 1k.

Google is charging me something ridiculous like, 300 a year for the same.

Honestly, with my raised beds, between compost, seeds and fertilizer I probably lose money compared to buying tomatoes from the store. Home grown garden tomatoes are 10x better quality than grocery store tomatoes.

Bro I been growing edamame. Holy fucking shit. You’ll fucking cum.

Russian propaganda bot.

Oh he’s not a bot. They are a real verified human doing this as a labor of love.

Seems like you could market a line with even worse statements on it:

“This cigarette kills babies”

Chinese shill

But he’s our Chinese shill and we love him dearly.

Airplane. Young Frankenstein. Emperors New Groove. Paper moon.

Please use mineral based sunscreen. The corals and turtles have suffered enough.

Habanero protein shakes with extra coconut oil.

That’s the neat part. You don’t.

ayyyyyyy gottem

I think it’s important to note how much hardscape and channelling has been done to prevent widespread and sheet style flooding, and how they contribute to this problem of ground water recharge.

Most places that are flat enough to build are flat enough to build because of thousands of millenia of flooding, especially sheet flooding, laying down sediment and making them flat. Then humans get annoyed because the flat low places floos, so they build flood control.

There is a post further down about how Muni water really isn’t an issue and I agree with this. I’ve put up a couple posts explaining this on Reddit and hacker news. I could rehash it if some one was interested.

I think this kind of handwringing shows a fundamental lack of understanding of how the internet works.

Everything you’ve ever pushed your eyeballs against on the internet was hosted somewhere. These days its pretty much all in the cloud.

All this team did was write a wrapper to automate the instance creation, which I just happily paid for, because even though I could have figured it out, it wasnt work several hours of my time to do so. And if I did, I still was going to use the same cloud providers this team is routing through.

I just paid to host an instance to do my part to support the fediverse. If you are from the elest team jbenguira hit me up or maybe I’ll hit your lemmy to get some help. Having some issues getting my domain to work and want to make sure I’m doing it right.

I’m working through the set up process. Does any know a bit about how to get the forwarding set up?

I joined Reddit during the digg exodus. Before digg I was into fark and before fark, something awful.

It’s good that things die. it’s where new mediums come from. It also keeps the power with the user. It’s an important part of the internet life cycle.

Its a good thing. Forums dying and the community moving on is a good thing. Things don’t need to last forever for them to be good, now. I think of it like a cleansing event; like a forest fire or flood.

Something Awful. was a website with a front page that had memes and the ability to comment on them. I think it ended up going in a bad way. I don’t think I’ve been there since the 90s.

And before Fark there were the craigslist forums.

IT feels like the early days of reddit.

Or before that the early days of digg.

Or before that the early days of fark.

Or before that the early days of sa.

And so it goes…

Wow that is excellent.
