So far so good!

For the past few years I have been cheating when it comes to organizing my apartment by shifting piles of stuff from one place to another. But I am running out of drawers to stuff things into So, I have decided to do a proper cleanup and try to organize my stuff, so I have been doing that little by little this week... We have too many hobbies and too little space.

Workload has been alright this week. Enough entertaining work but no stress ๐Ÿ˜„

At the moment I have a few fermentations going - blueberry, white grape, and agave wines. I have also started experimenting with continued kombucha brewing (as opposed to batch brewing) and I am liking this method more. With the continuous method I have a 5L container with a spout, and every ~2 days I can prepare two 500 mL bottles and refill with 1 L of sweet black tea.

How's yours?

Thanks!

Cost is not the bottleneck in this case... The problem is that I am rather ignorant about the options and their benefits/limitations. Moving the images the first time was painfully slow because of those same rate limits, and I expect the next migration to be the same, so I want to make a better choice next time and would rather find a solution with the current provider ๐Ÿ˜…

Ha! Good catch. They probably thought it was a Ball python.

You can take a lot of control by using search commands. Here is a list of commands for Google, for example: https://www.lifewire.com/advanced-google-search-3482174

By using commands like these you can narrow down your searches to the point that the impact of SEO is small. You give a much greater weight to the conditions that you have chosen.

It can be a bit of work to write a good search query, but the database that search engines search through is massive, so it makes sense that it would take some work to do this right.

I'm glad you could figure it out!

I followed the link and I see that network request too. I downloaded the file and it is the video.

I wiped all my data from a supercomputer by trying to 'cd' into a folder but making a typo and then running rm -rvf * from my home directory.

At least they kept backups... The system administrators were probably amused about who gets access

I wouldn't use this language myself because I am not ready to defend that it is reasonable to apply the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in this context.

I think that they might be referring to Article 1, and possibly 5.

If this is their interpretation, then calling someone a worthless piece of trash is also a violation. You are talking to another human being as if they have less dignity, and you are treating them in a cruel and degrading manner.

No, there is no API to get the votes (https://join-lemmy.org/api/). If my understanding is correct, now that I upvoted your comment my instance will push that information. I'm not sure whether it pushes it to dandroid.app first or to all instances, saying basically "Sal@mander.xyz upvoted https://dandroid.app/comment/441785", and so every instance that has that comment can save my user ID in the "upvote" list of that comment, and that upvote is counted.

If only the vote direction was federated, then it would be very easy for me to spam the message "Upvote https://dandroid.app/comment/441785". I would not even need to create an instance for that, I just need to speak ActivityPub. And it would be more difficult to detect that I am doing that, because the database would only hold the vote count.

I don't think there is a way to ask an instance to reveal this list. You can only get it by directly querying the database if you have access to it. This is why if you fetch an older post or comment, it will arrive with a single or zero votes.

There is a theoretical future in which full-genome sequencing is performed exclusively by large companies, hospitals, and governments, and the data is stored by them and they can access it.

But the technologies are becoming quite accessible. Unless regulations are introduced to force people to give up their genetic data, which I don't think is so likely, there will be ways for us to get our sequences without the sequences being stored by a third party. I also think that there will be FOSS tools for us to run our own analyses.
