Idle thought: growing up in the 80s/90s, I remember muffler shops everywhere. And there were ads all over TV/newspaper/yellow pages for them.

I have never had a muffler fail, ever. That includes two <2000 cars (1986 Chevrolet Caprice wagon, 1993 Plymouth Duster), but I didn't have either very long. Were mufflers just a consumable back then? Was there some breakthrough in muffler reliability circa 1995?

"To ensure there are no issues processing your order, please enter your address only in UTF-8 / Latin characters."

Or you could make your basic shopping page...just work?

@phpList You don't seem to be hosting a security.txt file, an abuse.net entry or providing any abuse/security/hostmaster contact details on your Web site. It'd be useful if you made it easy for people to report your users when they're operating phishing sites on your network.

@matrix I can't find the URL for your blog's RSS feed, would you let me know what it is?

Been trying to improve my backups recently with an external drive and restic, but hopefully just fixed a potentially embarrassing, yet simple issue.

The backup repositories are encrypted with a password 👍

The password is securely stored in my local password manager 👍

My passwords file is securely backed up to the encrypted backup repository....

So if the worst happens, how do I access the password file to restore the backup that includes my password file? 🤦‍♂️

Can we stop meddling with swapfiles in software installs, please, especially without any sanity checks on the numbers or path names used.

@element I'm getting "550-5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist." trying to email webmaster@element.io . What're your webmaster's contact details?

I could have sworn #Thunderbird supported GTUBE, but apparently my memory is as old as this feature request. I couldn't even remember its name... https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261556

@bagder this may be of interest once you're back:

Trying out LibreELEC on my very old netbook. Can't play some movies without the video lagging on my Raspberry Pi 3B+. Maybe the additional 200MHz on the processor and the whopping 400 MHz graphics processor will fix it.

Interesting take which @revk @neil and @bloor may be interested in: "[ISPs] should offer more than just "dumb pipe" internet services, and provide a safer online experience for their customers by adopting solutions that support the ability to offer parental controls"

A fallacy I see a lot, particularly when it comes to reporting problems in computer systems:

You are the only person to have reported this problem

therefore:

You are the only person to have experienced this problem

therefore:

It's not a problem / not worth fixing

We have Copilot and Bing AI Chat this and that, Outlook offering to write your emails for you and still, when I start typing into a Github issue page, it doesn't autocomplete filter syntax (or autoreplace if I'm using the wrong word).

Probably not something you notice if you use their filter syntax often, I guess.

Any #syncthing powerusers here? I am looking for a solution how to sync only specific party of my local #music library to my mobile device without creating a parallel file structure, aka having all those files two times on my local disk. Any suggestions?
