I volunteer at parkrun and have done so for about 10 years now!

I wouldn’t have the first clue how to answer that question!

Centralised social media

OTPs have a safe, unexploitable backdoor feature?

I have both Undetermined and English in my account setting

This determines what content you can see. So it means you will see content tagged with English as well as content that doesn’t have a language tag.

each post and comment have those two options but i leave those it on “Select language”

This means that your posts and comments are not setting a language tag when you make them, so people who are able to see content without language tags will be able to see them.

I mean, matrix is similar. So many official features aren’t supported by various clients, and then there are non official features that the clients do support, that aren’t supported by the official clients.

But matrix or XMPP, that problem is easily enough avoided at the “government rollout” level by standardising on a particular client and server combination

When it happened to me, I had a 1000 song countdown of the best songs by Michael Jackson, Prince and Madonna.

Not sure I would recommend it…

internalized transphobia causes a lack of acceptance of being trans and makes you feel like taking steps to transition (like hormones or hair removal) are immoral or wrong … am I understanding better?

That is exactly what I’m saying!

Edit - I’ve edited my original reply to clarify

I wasn’t talking about dysphoria, I was talking about the OPs difficulty in accepting themself

The trouble with self acceptance that you’re having is the result of a lifetime of transphobia. Transphobia that has you believing that being trans is a bad thing. And that lens shapes thoughts like these.

For every negative example you provide there, there is a positive version. When you consider transition as a form of self love and self care, all of the things you are talking about become acts of self care. When you frame it as purely about aesthetics, you perceive it as shallow and harmful, and in turn, the act of transition becomes one of selfishness.

The thing is though, self acceptance and transition is an act of self care and self love, that improves not only your life, but the lives of the people that love you and interact with you. The trick here is giving yourself permission to be open to that possibility.

You can’t reason yourself out of internalised transphobia. You won’t find a mental “gotcha” that lets you undo a lifetime of negative thoughts in a moment. What you can do though is recognise that you’re carrying a lifetime of negative propoganda, and recognise these thoughts as being part of that. It doesn’t make them go away, but it does take away some of their power, and gives you the space to find a healthier perspective.

I can’t speak to the early days of the internet, but for the early days of the web at least, the fediverse is the closest thing we have to the “spirit” of the old web. Everyone running their own things, no central portals, web search was diverse (but not that great). Communities existed not so much on social media platforms, but in the form of webrings, mailing lists and usenet (none of which were centralised).

Web pages were less javascript and css, and more straight html. So pages tended to be static. Images loaded line by line, and often the whole web page would jump around as images loaded if the html didn’t pre-emptively set the image size, because the browser had no idea what size the image was going to be until it finished loading it.

But importantly, a significant amount of content was generated by people, not companies. Communities and pages were driven more likely to be created by people with an interest in that specific thing than a company trying to make money, because SEO wasn’t a thing.

But AOL, yahoo, google, they all got the idea that there was money to be made by making the search page the gateway through which everything else was found and accessed. And that was a sign of what was to come. Centralisation, predatory trapping of users via the network effect, enshittification… All of it… ALL of it, driven by companies chasing the advertising dollar, rather than passionate nerds making content for other passionate nerds.

It’s why I say the fediverse is spiritually the closest you will find to that time period. Communities are driven by passionate nerds, shaped by people interested in whatever it is that they’re interested in, and building communities without relying on a centralised platform to provide the infrastructure.

The one I went to was definitely on the Gold Coast

Is this “Would I have an LLM do it?” in disguise?

DOS!

I use cachyos on my homelab/media server, but that’s mostly because I’ve got more familiarity with it, which makes troubleshooting easier

I transitioned at 41, and that was about 9 years ago. My advice to you is to give yourself permission to explore and to find the answers. You don’t need to know exactly what the end point is before you start, you don’t need to have 100% certainty or perfect labels. What you need is simply permission from yourself, to explore and find the things that make you happy.

In addition to ctrl-r, there is also fish! Fish does something similar to Ctrl-R, but in an easier to use way. Start typing a command, and then press the up arrow. It will cycle through your history, but only the history that includes the text you’ve started typing.

Yep, assuming that you’re looking at the “root” config there, then 50 is the total number of snapshots it will keep when it comes through and does the snapshot cleanup.

For root on cachyos, you generally don’t need any of the other numbers enabled, because it creates new snapshots via a pacman hook, rather than using timed creation. And this hook will create two new snapshots whenever pacman installs or updates one or more packages. One “before” the updates/installs and one “after”

Though it is also worth noting, that you should make sure you have the “snapper cleanup enabled” checkbox on that page enabled, as otherwise, it won’t actually run periodic cleanups of old snapshots

What I’m getting at is that your “but” made it sound like you were challenging her findings, rather than images incorrect summary of her findings.
