@neonmate @blinry Thought about writing a limerick about #eh22, plenty of things that rhyme with lime, but none with hamburg...

#eh22limes

Note: All puns must be handed in until midnight – there's a hard deadlime!

#eh22limes

We took some of the left-over limes at #eh22, and are wondering what to do with them!

And clearly, the first thing to make is: puns. Can you help us out?

IT’S HERE! 🥳

Part I of my #nomad #travel (b)logue. Hear the thrilling tales of my many adventures exploring the grand vistas of the Pacific Northwest…er, well, you’ll have to wait until the next installment for some of that. 😉

But yes, here is my unfiltered, occasionally humorous, ~~rarely~~ always interesting record of the first couple of weeks of living as a digital nomad.

(Honestly, I'm glad I put this together. I'd already forgotten about like half of it! 😅) #blog

新加坡媒体骂习大傻子平时跟个黑老大似的，现在来装亲近。
我就想起跟我妈聊天。我妈说到国际局势，一个是骂美国（也有点看不起美国，），一个看不起加拿大，一个洋洋自得怎么收拾菲律宾，越南等等，开着军舰去把人吓得屁不敢放一个，一堆小破渔船也敢来斗，诸如此类。这都是我弟的亲传。
看来新加坡还真骂对了。校园霸主欺负小孩，觉得自己拳头大，骄傲坏了。结果来个外校霸王，拳头大多了，这混混居然跑去跟被欺负小孩拉亲近，我们毕竟是一个学校的啊。
他不是以为东南亚各国也有护校蛆的恶习吧。老大打死我，是我们内部矛盾，漏到外面去，属于败坏学校声誉。
位高者果然会丧失起码的自知。他去东南亚说服别人斗美国，正常人会给可观的利益，他居然去展示“魅力”。
你俩都是傻逼，别人为啥要选其中一个傻逼站边？不能看你俩傻逼互相打？你俩打狠了，说不定把他们忘了。

We’re introducing a new layer of verification on Bluesky — a user-friendly, easily recognizable blue check. In addition to account verification issued by Bluesky, we're also introducing Trusted Verifiers. Select independent organizations can verify accounts directly.

Bluesky says it is rolling out blue check verification, which will verify that notable accounts are legitimate, making it easy for users to trust that an account’s posts are real. Read more at @Techcrunch. #Bluesky #SocialMedia #Tech #Technology https://flip.it/HhAwcp

When you've made modifications to a file in vi(1) and then find that
you can't write it, type ``<ESC>!rm -f %'' then ``:w!'' to force the
write

This won't work if you don't have write permissions to the directory
and probably won't be suitable if you're editing through a symbolic link.

If you have sudo(8) installed and permissions to use it, type
``<ESC>w ! sudo tee %'' to force a write.

HAPPY NEW WEEK!

A HEALTH-CHECK URL would, for example, make sure:

• the web-server is up,
• the database connection is fine,
• maybe query one or more important tables to make sure that still works,
• make sure any 3rd party APIs are working,
• etc.

If any of those things has a problem, then it would return "500 Internal Server Error".

Else (if everything was fine then) it would return "200 OK".

#DeSo #FediAdmin #Fediverse #FediDev #FediDevs

A lot of Fediverse software has a HEALTH-CHECK URL.

But not all Fediverse does.

It would be better if ALL Fediverse software had a HEALTH-CHECK URL.

...

A HEALTH-CHECK URL is a special URL that tell others if the system is running properly.

It would return "200 OK" if everything is fine. And return "500 Internal Server Error" if there is a problem

...

A HEALTH-CHECK URL is important to those who actual run and administrate Fediverse servers

Head of Homeland Security can't even secure her purse.

CNN: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem fell victim to a thief while eating dinner at a downtown Washington, DC, restaurant Sunday night. Noem, who was asked about the theft at the White House Easter Egg Roll, acknowledged the incident & said the matter has not been resolved.

The Secret Service, which provides security for Noem, reviewed security camera footage at the restaurant & saw an unknown white male wearing a medical mask steal her bag & leave the restaurant. The thief got away with Noem’s driver’s license, medication, apartment keys, passport, DHS access badge, makeup bag, blank checks, and about $3,000 in cash.

Who the hell carries around $3000 in cash?!? Did she just take a bribe or something?

I am really touched by how many people have sent me messages about my essay. I write a lot of things in a lot of ways: THIS thing is not written for everyone and was written to be challenging. I think those for whom it was written have found it!

There are a few reasons for that difficulty: I think it's fun. I like it. It's how I think. It's also effortful in the same labyrinthine way that trying to figure out why you never BELONG in tech is labyrinthine.
