Is stable for me for a long time already. Maybe you need to switch DNS, as some ISPs have a DNS block. But one should switch DNS regardless.

And don't forget folks: if this drive contains your whole digital identity, make sure your next ones do have the keys. If something happens to you, it is impossible to retrieve logins, photos, whatever your kin/whomever might need from that drive.

Same goes for e.g. homeservers, VPSs or anything your family relies on: tell them where they find the relevant logins and who could possibly help them, if they're not capable. Grieving is hard enough, if they figure they also lost all memories of the beloved one, that's terrible.

Well, for "normal" ones they changed a lot about the lower thread. Also there came overlock machines to make life easier for certain stitches.

But nonetheless, they are marvelous machines, I love them so much. It is mechanic porn, and granted, the design of the old ones was perfect. Don't need all that plastic 😅

"The desire of the IT staff to have a free weekend motivates for less buggy code. That is why we deploy friday afternoon"

Some economist probably.

Then again, I didn't see a good reason to attack Ukraine. I distintively remember that before the invasion, there were these reports of 180k Russian troops amassing at the border and I was damn sure, that Putin won't attack, 'cause...you can't conquer Ukraine with only 180k soldiers. But here we are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So, who knows what that madman is doing for what reason.

ThumbKey made the difference for me. Completely new way to define touchscreen keyboards, but after some months now, I can type blindly on a touchscreen 👍. Caveat: in the beginning typing will be very, very slow.

Ceramic instead of Teflon is where it's at.

Those engineers just got serious about their lifes. You can crank out way more products if you skip designing them, it is the engineer hustle 🔧😎

And if they didn't decide yet, they could always just bolt more seats to the roof.

I find the thought hilarious, that the UK just switched their entire soil for PV and are like "why do we get only 9 GW out of it 😭?", like ☁️☁️☁️🌧️

Democrayies should bend to the will of the people

Yep, if one has an understanding of democracy pre-WW II

The new understanding the west came to agree upon also contained

Democracies should bend to the will of the people, but there are some unnegotiable core principles, which are to be upheld, even if the will of the people dictates differently. We call them human rights

Funnily enough those human rights basically are the extension of core Christian values, which are usually not considered progressive.

And among them are the right to asylum and the right not to be deported somewhere, where murder and torture are to be expected.

Yep NYT, what if for progressivism to flourish it needs to be less progressive and more reactionary and fascist?

Deep thoughts with The Deep.

At a friend's wedding. He is known for being clumsy. Literally 30 seconds out of church after the ceremony. He shows off the ring, just hear a cartoonish pling pling and the ring rolls straight down the street drain in slow-mo. Next 30 minutes are spent recovering the ring, people in suits and dresses digging through the gutter XD
