Unlike Grok, I am utterly speechless…

God I love SCP so much. Probably why I loved Control so much, it was like playing SCP: The Game or something.

Holy shit, this got a spit take out of me! 🤣

Have detailed descriptions for others how to retrieve your data in case something happens.

Lots of great advice here but this stands out as a really good bit that a lot of people (including myself) need to consider.

Weekend proooojeeeeeect! 🎵

I was really enjoying wallabag for a while, but after an update (or something?) the container no longer connects to the db and I haven’t been smart enough to figure out why yet.

BUT when it works it’s got a nice interface and the Firefox extension clips articles quickly. Biggest downside I’ve run into is the iOS app can’t make highlights or annotations, and it sometimes randomly reloads an article while reading and ‘forgets’ its place.

“Draper heard about the whistle from other phreakers. The whistle easily played at 2600Hz, the perfect tone to, in Apple Inc. [co-founder Steve Wozniak’s words], “seize a phone line.”

Huh, I had always wondered why the hacking magazine was called 2600. Guess that explains it, neat!

Manual ordering of images in albums is an absolute must before I adopt any image management system. It’s wierd to me that seemingly none of the FOSS systems support it (considering that most of us are datahoading control freaks).

It reminded me, very randomly, of quote from a book about urban design and how architectural ideas are introduced and accepted by the public… or not.

From this the “principle of the second man” can be formulated: it is the second man who determines whether the creation of the first man will be carried forward or destroyed…

It was a golden chance and a room full of cowards let it slip.

The book is Design of Cities by Edmund Bacon for anyone interested.

I just spun up Wallabag on my server the other day to replace Omnivore. Im going to take a look at this, but does anyone have experience or thoughts on how this compares? I’m not so deep into it yet that I couldn’t switch to Linkwarden if it’s better.

My main uses would be archiving articles and highlighting passages.

Right? A Real Genius quote in the wild just made my day!

With the demise of Omnivore I was about to roll out an alternative on my NAS. How does this compare to Wallabag?

Yeah but how do you consult those rules? How often are they updated? How do you get notified of updates?

The fact that there are no answers to these questions and therefore everyone is working with mismatching rule sets makes the whole thing useless. You can be totally well meaning and still piss off a server because somehow you don’t know what the currently acceptable magic number is.

I recently visited the states for the first time in a decade and didn’t find out until afterwards that 15% is now considered by some people to be “low”. Sorry everyone who I tipped, I shafted you without realizing it. 🤷‍♂️

“Pewma! PEWMA Man!”

This thumbnail looks like it’s from an episode of the original V miniseries.

Yikes! Yeah, that’s messed up. Thanks for the info!

I’m out of the loop, what did Better Help do?
