It’s like the fruit version of preparing a pufferfish!

Yes I’m answering the 2nd question if you look

Prickly pear fruit. Looks like an exotic dangerous adventure but after you avoid the spikes and get inside it’s actually pretty bad. Recommend eating only if choices are eat this or die of thirst/hunger (eg. if you are lost in the Namib desert.)

As someone who rides a unicycle professionally: what type of unicycle? Is the company specifying a particular brand because I only ride Nimbus.

My 12 yr old son is pretty sensitive to pigs being blown up for example but I guess not everyone is. The infamous torture episode also comes to mind, we didn’t show him that one. I’m just saying that it’s up to the parents.

Bill Nye went crazy? Last I heard he was involved in the groundbreaking solar sail project and speaking out about climate change, what did he do that caused you to add this warning? I’m not disputing anything just asking for information.

Also Myth Busters - not sure if available on YouTube, we ripped the DVDs long ago. Most episodes are pretty PC but some are definitely not appropriate so vetting required.

Yes, CloudFlare blocks agents completely if they ignore it’s restrictions. The key is scale - CloudFlare has a birds eye view of traffic patterns across millions of sites and can do statistical analysis to determine who is a bot.

I hate the necessity but it works

3 that I’m actually using, on my “Home Server” (Raspberry Pi).

One day I will be migrating the work stuff on VPS over to Docker, and then we’ll see who has the most!

Lesson from South Africa: by the time they are at your door it’s too late. Perimeter fencing, preferably a 2m high wall with razor wire AND electric fence on top (including on gate). Garden: floodlights, motion sensing alarms, beams, AI cameras. All doors and windows: bars and security gates. Inside: separate living and sleeping area with lockable gate in the hall between. Panic buttons…

None of that is going to stop a legal intrusion, each just buys you time before the paid security company arrive with guns to chase away intruders. Given time, any determined attacker will get in eventually…

Refurbished an electric guitar on my own. I found a Washburn (decent make) for next to nothing in a junk store and got a kit from Temu for the electronics which were totally shot.

Total cost was 1/4 of the price of the same guitar second hand in working order. YouTube tutorials sorted me out - only one of the pickups actually works well but it’s the humbucker which is the only one I like anyway.

Context: 12 years ago I used to play professionally but sold my equipment when I had a kid (musician job does not pay well).

I actually like my new home made electric guitar better than my old one. Also, I now play for fun which is nicer than rehearsing repertoire all the time

Long ago now - ex but in the same friend group so we ended up going back to her place one night. It was all nice until we had an argument, she kicked me out but KEPT MY CAR KEYS.

I ended up walking many Kms (this was before everyone owned a cell phone) to a mutual friends house, eventually they managed to convince her to give the keys back. Apparently it was all my fault.

I run pi-hole in docker in the background of our libreelec (Kodi) home entertainment system and it works great. It’s a MUST if you have kids, my son has more freedom to use the internet since I know he is mostly covered by extensive block lists. Using raspberry pi 400, we watch Netflix, play Nintendo games, watch YouTube and have a family hard drive for shared photos and files.

Or 3 branches…

I prefer to just delete the whole .git and start a new repository with the new version. We are pivoting the project, new name and new repo

I’m guessing not - Google probably wants the data for itself.

Does this apply to Android studio?

One of our neighbours has his set to “SAPS Surveillance Van” - “SAPS”, South African Police Services.

Ours is named after my son’s YouTube channel… free advertising!

As someone who uses GitHub everyday, I don’t think about the layout at all. The uploading, downloading, version control etc is all done with terminal commands or desktop tools. So separate from the website (but my code still ends up on there).

If I ever have to go to GitHub.com in a browser it’s only to copy a repository URL and I always marvel at how ugly and convoluted that website looks.

Not anti theft but every now and again I have to restart my phone because of anti swipe protection. I just can’t find the setting to disable it.

It’s always fun when you have to hack your own device to do something.
