Part of the reason I tried it was for speed. It seemed to go faster than dialing in a proper load.

I'm using the same soap while traveling, which lends itself to little mini experiments.

Today was "would it work to load a bit of soap for each pass instead of doing one big load"?

The answer is yes. I'm of the opinion that's how people did it in the old days, and that's based solely on my experience using modern Williams Mug Soap... Hardly a good reason to come to this conclusion, but Williams works well with this technique.

"She described working for DeSantis as the "biggest mistake" of her entire career.[14]"

...I wonder how long until she updates that statement.

There's a difference in how active users are counted now, too, so that skews the numbers. An active user used to be a user who posted or commented. Now voting makes a user active.

That isn't an indicator of current inflation. Past inflation, maybe.

People confuse "everything is expensive" with "inflation is currently high". It's an understandable misunderstanding, and part of the reason why Kamala lost.

Travel shave, but I checked a bag so I get the benefit of using a DE.

This Goodfellow lotion is kept in my travel dopp bag, but I love it and plan on buying a second one for use at home. It's a thicker consistency but goes on smooth. Slightly thicker than Stirling Balm, closer to DG Liniment (but not nearly as greasy).

Cool! I can't try it right now and I don't use neovim, but I'll try to remember to give it a shot when I get home next week.

Yelp can't be trusted, anyway. Businesses can pay to remove bad reviews.

Google Maps has plenty of user submitted photos.

Can I shop at HD again, or are the people in charge still assholes?

Fall Mountain Bike Ride (sub.wetshaving.social)

I went on this beautiful ride last week. I'm a relative n00b and the ride easily exceeded my skill level, but it was fun!

Sup everyone. Hope you're all enjoying the season of decorative gourds.

I know a lot of you just use mobile apps (yay, mobile apps!), but for the few that also use a web browser, I've been slowly rolling out alternative "front ends". The normal URL (https://sub.wetshaving.social) has the default front end. It is honestly pretty good, if not a tad dated.

Most recently we brought online https://old.wetshaving.social, which is designed to look like old.reddit.com. Even though I'm used to that layout from real-reddit, I'm still finding it a bit lacking for Lemmy, especially from a moderator point of view.

Next, we want to introduce the Alexandrite front end. @sahenders@sub.wetshaving.social already uses this, accessible from https://alexandrite.app/sub.wetshaving.social. Feel free to check it out there until we get ours behind https.

Anyway, we want to run our own instance of Alexandrite, which will be locked to our lemmy server, simplifying the experience for people like @sahenders@wetshaving.social.

All that is to say, we need a URL to put it behind.

So far, the suggestions are:

gem.wetshaving.social - Alexandrite is named after a gem on the devs wife's ring, and of course there's the GEM connection with our hobby.
alx.wetshaving.social
new.wetshaving.social - simply the opposite of old.wetshaving.social

Please leave your ideas, good or bad. Often our worst ideas turn out to be great, so don't be shy.

THANKS!

A new feature for our server. (sub.wetshaving.social)

Do you miss the layout of OLD reddit? Do you wish Lemmy looked liked that? Well, check this out... https://old.wetshaving.social

Maybe someone will find it enjoyable to use.

There are some limitations to this front-end, but I don't know enough about it yet to give any advice.

Technical details:

This front-end is called "mlmym". https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

Like everything else with Lemmy, it might break in the future. All it does is change how stuff is displayed. Think of it like a theme.

There are other front ends available, but this is the only one that we've implemented so far. There's one that makes it look like an old-school forum (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmyBB), and one called Alexandrite that looks very interesting https://lemmy.world/post/1095076. I might play with that one in the future.

A new report by the U.S. intelligence community on Tuesday says Russia sought to help former President Donald Trump in last year's presidential election. But the document also emphasized there was no indication Russia or any other country attempted to alter actual votes.

Republicans are reeling from Trump’s undisciplined approach to the opening stages of his race against Harris.

I have multiple things running through a reverse proxy and I've never had trouble accessing them until now. The two hospitals are part of the same company, so their network setup is probably identical.

Curiously, it's not that the sites can't be found, but instead my browser complains that it's not secure.

So I don't think it's a DNS problem, but I wonder what the hospital is doing to the data.

All I could come up with in my research is this article about various methods of intercepting traffic. https://blog.cloudflare.com/performing-preventing-ssl-stripping-a-plain-english-primer/

Since my domain name is one that requires https (.app), the browser doesn't allow me to bypass the warning.

Is this just some sort of super strict security rules at the hospital? I doubt they're doing anything malicious, but it makes me wonder.

Thanks!

Also, if you know of any good networking Lemmy communities, feel free to share them.

Is the HACS project still active? (sub.wetshaving.social)

I still get updates for things I have installed, but I haven't seen any new integrations or themes added in some time.

After wanting a modern mountain bike for the past 5 years, I finally went and got one. It's a lot of fun.

This is replacing a ~2006 Schwinn Mesa that I never ride anymore, because the trails are too rough for it where I live.

The dropper post is compressed if you're wondering why it looks like the seat is too low 😊

From the artisan:

Apple of Aetherwood

This is our first 100% original scent in way too long. It starts with an opening of apples and bergamot, with hints of sage, ginger, juniper berries, and geranium, with a base of amber, tonka beans, cedar, vetiver, and frankincense.

While this may sound rather heavy, it's a rich, but still summery scent that is well grounded, but no so heavy and sweet that it would be overwhelming on a hot day.

Coming later this month!

Anyone planning on giving it a try?
