I’m not in many meetings but when I am, I oversell and overpromise then immediately forget everything we discussed as soon as it ends.

Just send a fucking email.

For me the guy who always said it was a former boss and he was good at actually circling back, but sometimes it felt more like “fuck that for now.”

I always think of the ping command line utility because I haven’t really used the word outside that context ever.

I always hated “circle back” but I did get into using it ironically for a while.

I don’t remember what it was exactly but someone said something along the lines of “we’ll need to massage it a bit as we roll it out” regarding a new system being implemented.

• massage
• ping

Keurig coffee makers. My first one killed itself during descaling, the in-warranty replacement’s buttons were cursed and never worked. I always felt guilty for destroying the planet one K-Cup at a time too.

The terrible devices actually encouraged me to grind my own beans and make Japanese-style pour over iced coffees.

I self-host web apps I write myself? ¯\(ツ)/¯

The only thing it’s giving you is a craving until the next smoke. That’s it. Those five minutes of “peace” are just a few moments of relief from withdrawal, and 20 minutes later the cycle starts all over again.

I’m in the same boat, but you also have to remember that blocking ads typically involves blocking tracking too. You’re right they the ads are much more bland or misdirected but that’s because there’s little to no targeting data (probably just your IP address).

It’s mostly about performance. Caddy’s Go-based garbage collector starts to negatively impact performance at high load. It looks something like:

server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    server_name example.com;

    ssl_certificate     /etc/nginx/ssl/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/privkey.pem;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000/;

        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }
}

I’d sell all my things to just travel. Living in one place and being stuck in a routine is like a mental prison for me.

Fuck me that movie was so stupid. I can’t believe I finished it (watching alone).

I prefer nginx to Caddy myself for reverse proxies. As far as VPN technologies go, Tailscale and WireGuard are where it’s at.

Not sure why we’re comparing Caddy to Tailscale though.

Interesting; I use Markdown all the time but have never thought about the backslash character. That’ll be tricky to remember since my Lemmy client doesn’t show the text field in a monospaced font (which would trigger “Markdown mode” in my brain).

Is this a Markdown problem? I have this as text replacement shortcut and it actually already contains the missing \ so that’s strange.

My wife is from Mexico so nothing in stores will do. My recommendation would be “nothing American.” ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Can we all just move on from Reddit? I feel like the constant bitterness toward it only brings a negative attitude to Lemmy.

Personally, I have Reddit completely blocked on my network and the only way to “access” it is to redirect to a Redlib instance. I don’t really care to hear about it anymore.

I knew someone with the exact same story.
