   I don’t know whether this means he’s ending the Mr Weatherman channel, but he has not posted a video in a few days.
   
   I will share this with #sonTwo and his wife, so we can look for an alternative channel if needed.

   Spent hours trying to figure out why the automatic sandbox refused to accept my assignment. It turned out that one field was supposed to be named count_int, but I had named it count_in and couldn't see the difference.
   
   .
   
   The "hint" function told me that my field names were wrong, but every time I looked, they looked correct. Finally, their Ape-Eye (AI) had to show me the difference in that specific field.

   #Redis (see https://libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-1465-fd55-2956-db1957424987 and the thread it is part of)
   
   Find an alternative. There is no assurance that there won't be another license change in 2-3 years to force other groups of users to pay for the commercial license.
   
   I sympathize, as they probably have several big corporations and cloud providers using Redis without doing anything to benefit anyone other than themselves. No funds, no code, no support, no documentation, no staffing, no marketing.

   In #Threads ist das Posten ins #Fediverse nun anscheinend aktivierbar. Hat das schon jemand ausprobiert?

   In diesem Video ist recht gut beschrieben, was man aktivieren muss und was derzeit die Einschränkungen sind:

   Eines meiner Räder war in der Werkstatt, da es immer wieder Fehler meldete. Bei der Abgabe stellte einer der Techniker schon fest, dass das Rad dreckig sei und ich es mehr reinigen solle.

   Jetzt stellte sich heraus, dass der Geschwindigkeitssensor verdreckt war, Touché.

     @jay 🌺:disabled_heart: People are still allowed to use Redis as long as they don't sell Redis services, but it's probably safest for people to move to a drop-in replacement like KeyDB or the new Redict.

     Is it used only for Sidekiq? Does Sidekiq require Redis or are there options?

     lnxw48a1 repeated this.

    Hadn't heard about Alexandra and Andrea Botez before. They're streamers playing chess (ranks 2000, 2300) and doing other things. Judging from their self-interview they absolutely rock in a large number of ways.

    I haven't been anywhere in a couple of weeks, except:
    
    Last weekend, while my son and daughter-in-law were out of town for their first weekend away from the kids, #GS4 had a medical issue and I had to drive him to the doctor's office.
    
    Thus, it is likely that exposure to the doctor gave me a cold.
    
    It is getting better, and will probably be gone completely in another day or two.
    
    The cold seems to have sapped my energy. I've been doing an hour or so of #DataCamp, plus another hour or so of #Coursera each night, but recently it is either one or the other.

    Those Reddit posts are so funny where people:

    "Using a throwaway account because the other person reads Reddit all the time"
    *proceeds to describe extremely specific situation that the other person would definitely recognize*

    Video game idea: First person action-stealth where the objectives become less specific and their location less precise as the main character unravels a global conspiracy that leaves them stranded from their initial tactical support. Starts with a hi-tech PDA with a laundry list of concise objectives, detailed map and GPS-accurate coordinates only to devolve into vague handwritten notes and crude napkin sketches for maps.

    I've now received 3 separate emails asking me to sell my potential share of the upcoming Fluence Network cryptocurrency airdrop. This project aims at rewarding the "~110,000 developers who contributed into open source web3 repositories during last year" according to the project webpage. In order to do this "Public keys of selected Github accounts were added into a smart contract on Ethereum" which they stored in a single file hosted on AWS that their own "install" script fetches in order to generate proof of GitHub account ownership.

    So you can check any GitHub account eligibility on the Fluence website, of course, but you can also obtain the conveniently complete list of 108,615 eligible GitHub accounts to spam with your stupid cryptocurrency acquisition request. I've pulled down my email address from my public profile in the hope that it will stem the tide, but that's yet another possibly well-meaning Web3 project that ends up abused within seconds of its inception because of poorly thought-out process.

    Also I never contributed to any web3 repository, so I'm vaguely curious how they compiled this list of accounts but not that much either.
