mutual aid/ urgent dental & pain prescription

hey, i posted the other day appointment emergency dentist appointment and needing money.

turns out the emergency dentist was demanding too much upfront, so i had to wait till today to call my dentist who i have credit with.

they cant get me in until Thursday, but im going to get prescriptions for pain and antibiotics in the meantime.

i only have $29 and im worried its not enough, it would be great if i could get like $30 more, hopefully thatll cover the meds (i havent seen the prices yet, or whether insurance will cover it)

im not a huge fan of asking for money, but this hurts so much i cant handle it. ill delete the post once i reach the goal

AI models can't distinguish between users’ beliefs and facts, which could be really detrimental in medical settings where patients could have incorrect beliefs about their medical conditions. All models struggle on tasks involving false beliefs reported in the first-person. spectrum.ieee.org/ai-reasoning

A thing for my earlier transition trans pals - I've discovered friends who are only connected by transitioning at the same time as you are kinda like "summer camp friends" or "work friends" You bond over that specific shared experience, but once that becomes a smaller part of your life you don't really have anything connecting you anymore. So the friendship fizzles unless you'd made more connections with one another outside of "we're transing at the same time".

Not to say don't have trans friends you can make it through that time in your life together, but if you ACTUALLY want to stay long term friends, make additional bonds beyond trans bullshit.

Today in it's the venerable ssh(1)/sshd(8)

While I grew up in an age where telnet(1) was my only option, the ssh folks made it a pretty drop-in replacement for the sorts of things I did with telnet, so switching was easy.

With the exception of when I'm rebooting or our ISP is having issues, I almost always have at least one SSH connection open and likely more than one connection to other hosts. Even in the "security" of our LAN in the house, I still SSH between machines rather than use unencrypted connections for transfer.

I love being able to run things remotely and use them locally, such as

$ ssh me@remote dmesg | xsel -ib

to put the remote machine's dmesg output on my system clipboard or

$ tar czvf - /path/to/data | ssh me@remote 'cd /destination/path ; tar xzf -'

to transfer a directory tree to a remote machine.

It generally has sensible defaults, allows me to force key-based authentication rather than username+password auth.

It allows me to limit $DAYJOB customers to SFTP-only access within their designated chroot directories, insulating them from each other.

I use it to tunnel into work and forward my RDP VM's screen so I can access it locally with rdesktop(1)

So many delightful little uses.

Definitely worth reading @mwlMichael Lucas :flan_set_fire:'s SSH book to learn more: mwl.io/archives/3126
