@ink_slinger Ah yes, #YEG winters I remember them well...walking to classes in the morning from Lister Hall to (was used to be?) CEB in the super cold, and walking through Van Vliet where the humid air would make my glasses instantly fog up, then walking outside again where they would instantly freeze to my eyebrows...
#YYC isn't much better but with less snow and chinooks to mess with our heads 😜
@nilo#welcome to this little corner of the fediverse! My instance is small but federates widely so you can talk to whomever you wish (I try to deal with troublemakers on an individual basis rather than blocking whole domains)
Feel free to make some #introductions so we can all get to know each other better! Don't be shy we don't bite (unless you ask us to...whatever floats your boat 😉)
@pixelpaperyarn I liked Capaldi as the Doctor as far as the character. It is the stories that were very hit and miss. Watching the first series with him and Clara was not fun at all. But Missy was a bright spot, and much of the last series with Bill and Nardole as companions hit a better stride.
It's a shame that it started off so shaky and some viewers tuned out and missed the better stories. Lots of missed potential with 12 and Bill.
@banjofox I thought fitted sheets just doubled as large bags to keep the pillow cases, top sheet and duvet together in for storage...you know, bed-in-a-bag 😋
@bobjonkman if you set your repo to buster it will stay there indefinitely (whether it is testing or stable state) as you guessed.
Right now testing is exactly the same as buster since in the repo testing is basically a symlink to the release that is in testing phase, but once buster goes stable they will begin to diverge since testing will be linked to the next release after buster.
You could also set your distro to stable release and add the backport repo to still get some more updates.
@djsundog@garbados@Elizafox you could use MoCA or G.hn over RG6 instead of DOCSIS for a more cost effective solution. G.hn is more robust it seems and is sometimes used to provide connectivity in multi-tenent dwellings.
@datatitian I mean, it's great when grocery stores find ways to utilise surplus products like that and some markup is expected to compensate for the labour of making prepared deli items of course, but sometimes people can afford the time to do preparation themselves more than they can afford the extra cost, so it's cool when the "priced to sell fast" option is presented.
@datatitian My motivation is simply practical...such food is generally "priced for quick sale" so it is a good way to save money.
Plus you grab it before the store sends it to the deli department to make into overpriced "convenience items", where they take expired fruit and make fruit salads, or cook up the chickens that are about to expire and make ready to eat dinners or chicken salads etc, at a significant markup.
@uranther I would find such a writeup interesting.
As an admin of my own (micro) instance (open to new users but created just because I wanted to):
* you get to see (and change) how things tick * you have full editorial control as it were (you alone decide on instance level filtering or blocking if any) * the federated timeline is more personal, like an extension of your home/followers timeline)
In short, you get to shape your own experience more fully.
Advertisers want to target specific audiences, which means a new platform that doesn’t store troves of personal user data is at a severe disadvantage relative to Facebook and Google, which combined control 60% of online ad spending in the U.S. [...] 8 of the 10 most popular apps are owned by Google and Facebook. Both companies also have many other apps that continually pull users back into their networks.
