There's a thread on HN on programming initiative for women.
It is going in a predictable direction.
I thought it was uniquely HN problem, by now I can see this happening everywhere, it's just HN has more of 'well actually' people -- whenever there's an initiative for women to do anything, they show up and start making really bad arguments about how this is pointless for a completely unrelated reason.

This is all applies he'd run own mail server but he's using mailgun, which I believe is a third-party service. -

Nothing makes me want to run my own instance more than libertarians who feel entitled to a 'well actually' argument.

@platypus At least youtube lets downloads of files -- not the originals, compressed ones, but that's something.
This makes me things about all the videos I uploaded and realize that I don't know how to archive videos -- do I just save final file, or all the raw footage, work files and final file and then run out of storage.

@jankoekepan I'm not demanding anything.
I'm voicing my opinion, that libredon should be defederated because how offensively stupid it is; and now, apparently yes, anding your 'Well, actually". -

@jankoekepan Dude, I'm not trying to do anything I'm just voicing my opinion.
My opinion is that libertarian memes about AOC are offensively stupid; libredon.com is the source of said offensively stupid memes; therefore lebredon.com should be defederated.
I don't really see any glaring faults in my logic.

So I made a thing.
The green on this graph shows where chlorophyll b absorbs (the type mostly used by plants). You can see it catches light in two places. Near 450nm (the blue end of the spectrum) and around 650nm (in the red).
The two lines show the wavelengths emitted by LED lights. Blue is cool white and red is warm white. Both have a spike in emission around chlorophyll's blue absorption and broad emission over the red absorption.
In other words, this is why houseplants like LED lighting!

After too many tries I wrote this handy alias function.
Find all files containing search string and then open them in sublime editor.
acksubl () {
ack -l -i "${1}" | xargs subl
}Use it wtih caution.

I think it's not too much of a waste if I repeat here two simple tricks with #ffmpeg in order to upload audio as video to mastodon:
1) test-tv image/animation:
ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc -i AUDIOFILE -shortest OUTPUT.webm
2) album cover or similar:
ffmpeg -loop 1 -i IMAGE.png -i AUDIOFILE -s 200x200 -shortest OUTPUT.webm
* with -s WWWxHHH you can adjust the size/resol. of the video
* instead of webm you can safely use mp4 as output extension - it will create an mp4 with x264/aac codecs

I already did. The videos are really worth watching.
If you're avoiding youtube tracking, you can install youtube-dl that just gets the videos.

Now he goes into deconstructing hegemonic masculinity and hyper masculinity, while still critiquing The Big Bang Theory.

An interesting video critique of Adorkable Misogyny of Big Bang Theory.
The author makes really good points about how sexist male behaviour that is not stereotypical masculinity is normalized and never really addressed in the show.
For me, it feels strange how I completely missed that part when I was watching the show.
