FooBarrington , to MEOW_IRL in Almost died

That poor thing barely managed to crawl towards the food bowl with the last of its strength. Even if it stayed on our side of deaths door, that privilege may well have paid dearly using some of its nine lives. And you dare mock it?!

FooBarrington , to cats in His pupils get so big when he's lovey

Nah, in hunting mode they suddenly get huge. I assume it's to improve tracking in low light conditions.

That pawprint is amazing

FooBarrington , to Selfhosted in 2 ports for 2 applications

Just as a warning, the macvlan stuff isn't well documented and seems to have hard limits. I worked with it a couple of years ago and had to eventually read a lot of Docker code to figure some stuff out, and the host was only able to successfully set up 4 macvlan networks at a time - the fifth (and any following ones) were never reachable, even though I used the same scripts as for all other ones.

Things might have improved in the meantime.

Awesome, thank you!

Thank you for the validation, sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy with how often these things are repeated.

But those lectures do sound interesting - would you mind linking them when you have the time?

I don't understand the tendency to attribute harmful behaviours of the rich and powerful to these strange, irrational reasons. No, UK leaders didn't spend millions upon millions on propaganda because they have a fragile identity. They did it because they'll make money off of it, and will be able to move the legislation towards their own goals.

It's the same when people say Putin invaded Ukraine because he wants to restore the glory of the Soviet Union. No, he doesn't care about any of that, he cares about staying in power and becoming more powerful. One of the best ways to do so is to invade other countries, as long as you don't lose.

FooBarrington , to Technology in Mozilla is adding tab grouping, vertical tabs, profile management, and local AI features to Firefox

It depends. I really liked Mozillas initiative for local translation - much better for data privacy than remote services. But conversational/generative AI, no thank you.

FooBarrington , to memes in That has to be fake

Rats truly are the goats of the lemon grass

FooBarrington , to memes in Ye Olde Book O' Faces

I'm proud of you for having turned things around!

FooBarrington , to Programmer Humor in “ARE YOU ALL SEEING THIS”

I assumed it's something parents buy for their children.

FooBarrington , to Programmer Humor in “ARE YOU ALL SEEING THIS”

What would it do? Delete all memories of a childs parents from their brain, making them think they've been orphans all along?

FooBarrington , to Programmer Humor in “ARE YOU ALL SEEING THIS”

Alternatively a depressingly realistic look at the consequences of war for non-participating children, couched in the veneer of an 80s Sci-Fi movie.

"YOUR PARENTS WILL NOT BE BACK"

FooBarrington , to Programmer Humor in “ARE YOU ALL SEEING THIS”

I like "orphanize" - one of those things that shouldn't be a word, but is!

FooBarrington , to World News in Far right cries censorship after exclusion from EU election debate

If the right doesn't nominate a candidate, who should debate?

I always see this - people on the right crying about having the same rules applied to them as everyone else. They want the same outcome without following the same rules.
