Eons ago I made a shocksite-"game" where you basically could trick people into visiting, and you got a point for each unique visit. The site was basically a collage of the usual, such as goatse, tubgirl, et.al. I guess that was the worst, and putting no effort into the design didn't help either. Once the /b/-tards on 4chan found out about it, traffic really skyrocketed.
Anyways, years went by, and I didn't have time or interest in maintaining it anymore, so I let the domain name Expire. I chuckled a bit a while back when I realized that the domain had been bought by a jewelry brand, and they used it as a webshop. If only they knew the history.. they obviously haven't checked out the internet archive for that domain.
I remember reading somewhere that "regular" pepper, such as black and white pepper were popular, because they were reasonably easy to get once you had a trade fleet up and running.
Also, salt was popular, but it was easy to make anywhere, so the colonialism didn't really factor in to supply:demand, other than a little increase in need for food preservation for long sea journeys.
Nutmeg basically caused east india company to commit genocide because of the popularity.
That was my knee-jerk reaction as well, but sometimes news about them are actually newsworthy. I just was to filter out proof that news media never learned anything in 2016, and block all the stupid shit they say. When they do anything worth reporting on, that's when I might be interested.
It's done client side. I'm using Voyager.
Lemmy gets better once you filter out:
Trump says
Trump wants
Trump demands
Trump claims
Trump will
Trump threatens
Musk says
Musk wants
Musk demands
Musk claims
Musk will
...that way you don't have to see the media frantically reporting on every stupid word vomit as if no lessons were learned over the past 10 years. Ragebait headlines is part of the problem, and I will take no part in it.
I'm technically always at work, including when eating Christmas dinner, or sleeping, or now while I'm on the porcelain throne.
But it's not too bad. I just have to be available, and it's rare that something happens that it can't wait a little while. And often it's something that is relatively quick to deal with.
I fixed a bug in a perl script while cooking Christmas dinner, that's all that's happened this holiday season.
Room with a towel. Where we can hold meat.
I managed to skip the entire line at Ohare security screening by just walking past people waiting patiently while I repeated "sorry, plane is boarding, excuse me, boarding, pardon me..." etc. Nobody bothered objecting and got out of the way for me.
My incoming flight was delayed, and immigration took forever, so once it was time to get to my connection the plane had started boarding. After security I had to run, and I got to the gate just in time.
I asked the doctor once about pausing the meds, and she was against it, because the side effects could come, even some that weren't present before. It was better to stay on them constantly.
MY conclusion is therefore that it is probably better to stretch your meds (consistent lower dosage for a period) to avoid a complete cutoff. Note: I'm an IT dude and a random person on the internet, and have no medical qualifications.
Slightly reduced effect for a short while after resuming normalcy. Take your next dose as soon as possible and resume as normal.

A week or two, probably.
I have two wood stoves built for heating when the house was new in the 19020s. I don't use them, but I happen to have a lot of scrap wood in my basement, so I can in a pinch. One of the chimneys are used for network cable runs, so they'll be destroyed in the process though.
In addition to the usual dry goods and stuff I have loads of leftovers from the Christmas dinner. Only needs reheating, which I can do on one of the stoves or this camping gas grill I have.
And if I need power for something critical, I have a 200Ah battery in my garage and an inverter I can hook up. The battery used to be part of the emergency power system of a ship, but it was removed due to drifting too far out of spec with its mate (24V system). So now I use it as an emergency start battery for my car.
100% correct. They knew, and when the injuries were a lot more severe than they anticipated, they tried to pass it off as syphilis.

Almost same. I've had many shitty years and days, but around this time last year I said something along these lines, and it holds true now as well: This year has been great. And next year is on track to be fuckin awesome.
Red Star OS is his distro of choice.
The controller responsibility was the ma8n reason for getting three. Plus, they each have a design that I'm sure each kid will like.
Title, basically. Three Boys, aged 9, 10, and 13, are getting a PS5 for Christmas, and I want to expand their horizon beyond roblox and minecraft.
They're gett8ng one controller each, so bonus points for something they can play together.
PS: I'm not too strict about age restrictions. They know we'll what they are and aren't allowed to say and do, so I'm not very concerned about VoIlEnT videO gAmEs to a reasonable extent.
They do enjoy builders and open world stuff, by the way.
Gjelder ikke det det norske språk generelt?
Personlig så er jeg enig i den, men siden jeg har en svigermor fra Andøya så serverer jeg istedet torsken til kattekrekene jeg har i hus.
Og kalkunen kan pælmes ut til reven når man først er i gang med å forberede julemiddag.
....men gjør du det nå blir den fortsatt ganske god. Bare angrip den med tørkerull slik at svoren ikke er fuktig før du tar på salt.

For the past 25 years of sailing the high seas I've always used my PC for watching whatever. But as this is not always practical, I am looking to connect a raspberry Pi to my TV to have a setup with smaller fingerprint and larger screen.
I briefly tried one a couple of eons ago (2010ish?), but sadly I don't remember the name.
Requirements:
- Must be able to run from a raspberry pi
- Must be able to stream media over my network (protocols aren't that important as I can probably spin up whatever is needed. Preferably I would just have it index a couple of NFS mounts and local drives)
Bonus question: Which Pi model would you recommend running this? I have a bunch of Zero W, and while everything "works" on them, it simply wasn't powerful enough to decode video at a watchable rate.
What's your definition of a wealthy person? Sure, Bezos is rich, but where do you put the threshold?
What does it take in terms of assets, abilities, and/or income for you to consider them wealthy?
Pico Turquino looks like a perfect ambush position.
I'm currently looking for a replacement to castbox. Castbox us OK, but I want to learn what else good is out there. Bonus points for one that has movement-sensitive sleep timer the way Smart AudioBook Player has.
UPDATE: Testing out Antennapod. Looks nice, and seems to do what I want it to do. I need to experiment with the auto-download a bit and see if it behaves the way I want it to. If it does, we have a winner.
I set up a machine with Debian 12 earlier. The partition schema is fairly standard, except I'm using mdraid for redundancy. I made an image of the two drives, so that I can easily replicate this setup for other machines (I have a bunch of machines that I need to set up in the exact same way.
However, I realized after I finished setting up everything that I chose the wrong pair of disks - instead of the 2.5" SSD pair, I installed it on the NVMe pair which are supposed to be used for something else. And the SSD pair is smaller than the NVMe pair.
Is it possible to resize the images so that they'll fit onto the correct disks, or do I have to start from scratch?
OK, so I finished this a while back, and despite it appealing to a lot of my interests, I honestly found it pretty meh.
I really enjoyed the realistic military/tactical aspect of it all, as that part is right up my alley, but... I did not care about the characters, the plot seemed hollow, and it seems like some things that could have been explored further were simply ignored.
For example, in the beginning these guys blow up a refinery. There are vague descriptions as to why, but after this it is practically not mentioned again. Whatever movement they were part of apparently disappears, and there are no repercussions for their home oblast.
The only thing this book has going for it, in my opinion, is that military nerds like me enjoy the detailed writing about the different types of hardware involved in the book.
So, since I am by no means a literary connoseur, I'm curious about what others think of this one.
