So I spent a big chunk of my life living next door to Louisiana (Houston) and now I live next door to Quebec (Toronto) and it just this moment occurred to me to check if Quebec has beignets. Like, I'd simply assumed if I ever went liking for beignets I'd find them. So I asked a Quebecoise friend, and

Okay, so they do have them, but—

Quebec beignets have holes???

My world is (topologically speaking) rocked

DNS gurus, am I correct in believing that PTR records are primarily used for mail sending servers and servers that never send mail do not need one?

flyingsaceur,
@flyingsaceur@ioc.exchange avatar

@sysop408 On the public internet, yes, but there is a lot of usefulness in internal networks having DNS and DHCP working together to get DHCP leases with co- termed A, AAAA, and PTR records. (Windows Server, Infoblox, Your Home Router). in-addr.arpa is the rabbit hole you (don’t) want to fall down, but I Am Not An IANA Lawyer

@sysop408 PS there is an unintended consequence: a lot of stuff does blocking reverse lookups on incoming connections so be on the lookout for weird lockups on the order of 1-60 seconds

Don't even get me started on that new Bumble ad.

@flyingsaceur@ioc.exchange avatar

@thepoliticalcat @DeliaChristina willing to bet that this campaign (which has been pulled) was done in house and not by an agency, same as the Crush iPad campaign.

In both cases, they bought their own hype and mistook a VC hype reel for advertising

flyingsaceur,
@flyingsaceur@ioc.exchange avatar

@thepoliticalcat @DeliaChristina Exactly. And if the campaign is a flop, the agency takes the force of the blow. Doing it in house means you literally have no one to blame but yourself

ADHD meds end of week 2 note.

My whole sense of time is different.

I don't come home from work, do a few amusing things then oh shit it's midnight, time to sleep. It's fit in a whole evening of visiting family, bun time, reading, catching up with folk online, and it's only 10:20pm and it feels like a normal whole weekend's already fit in. Free time used to fly by, now it's savoured fully.

Also medicaiton still way variable and peaky, but may change Monday.

from the infinite possibilities of the multiverse, i choose one thread and will it to be:

“No, Luke. I am your mother”

The recontextualized reboot of the full Star Wars trilogy, where in the Clone Wars, as Anakin Skywalker
became more erratic and obsessed with arcana of the Force, Amidala became more concerned for her own safety and that of her children, turning to Obi-Wan. In a fit of rage, Anakin tried to kill her, but with her latent Force abilities and those of the twins she was carrying, she killed him in self defense.

The Jedi Council, frightened by her power, abducted her children and sent Obi-Wan and Yoda on twin missions to hide the children with foster families and destroy all records

Obsessed with finding her stolen children, Amidala swore loyalty to Palpatine and set about hunting down and murdering every last Jedi to get her children back. She created the identity of Darth Vader to conceal
her true intent, strike fear, and fulfill her destiny to bring order to a galaxy ruled by men

there was a moment in my mid 20s when I got really into watching boxing matches.

flyingsaceur,
@flyingsaceur@ioc.exchange avatar

@lzg I think about Mayweather vs McGregor a lot, not because i watched the fight, but because i knew how it would end. It’s bloosport but there’s real skill to it, and you have to know how to take a punch Mayweather had logged the hours and McGregor was still “how hard could it be?” The interesting part was Mayweather kept it going for ten rounds

There are artists everywhere

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)

Background TV as I wind down my work day.

I'll work my way through the main 9 movies over the next few days, and starting with The Phantom Menace might be sacrilege to some, but who cares.

Just opened my ThinkPad and for the second time in three days the act of closing the laptop to sleep it, then opening it again had caused Ubuntu to hardlock. This time I got a very brief small printout about "amd ring 0 error", then it went back to a black screen and I had to hold down the power button again.

I thought getting a ThinkPad, getting AMD cpu/gpu and picking the Linux distro Lenovo lists as supported would mean I got a minimally functioning computer but I guess not.

Watched the original Star Wars trilogy with the kid this weekend and it’s been a long time since I have seen it. One thing that really stuck out to me was… what, thematically, is the movie trying to say about droids? The message seems to be that they are regular people like everyone else, and also chattel slaves, and also that’s it’s fine and also kind of funny? Like both Han and Luke are repeatedly shown doing obvious villain shit to droids and I can’t tell why we are not supposed to care

@glyph @grimalkina @cyberlyra TLJ was the same as ESB in that it went straight to “these characters don’t deserve to save the galaxy” and then ROTJ was like “let’s do ANH again with muppets”

flyingsaceur,
@flyingsaceur@ioc.exchange avatar

@glyph @grimalkina @cyberlyra not saying that ROTJ wasn’t good, but it retreaded old ground and set the precedent of “if Tatooine is so boring, why do the movies keep spending time there?” Jabba’s palace, gross eighties aliens, characters going on weird side quests, it all feels like Lucas indulging his storytelling tics and putting that into The Phantom Menace. Leigh Brackett took the sequel in a completely different direction, like Rian Johnson did, and the creators blinked. JJ Abram’s is no George Lucas, so Rise of Skywalker
wasn’t even an interesting mess like Revenge of the Sith

There should be a TTL for boosts so you can limit how many hops out of your network your post can get before you shut it off from randos

Leonardo DaVinci would have been a horrible coworker. If you asked
him to do something he would take forever, hand in some halfassed doodle of a helicopter, and the bosses would love it. Everyone would talk about how smart the guy is. But it would take hundreds of years for anyone to get the idea to qork, and it would look completely different

One of the few things he actually finished was a simple ask: paint a lady smiling. It takes forever, everyone loves it, but you can’t even tell if she’s smiling or not

What an asshole
