Yes, like the Vietnamese name “Nguyen”, but not like “wininks”. The best I could describe it is as a hybrid between “ninks” and “ginks”. Pronounce the first consonant with the back of your tongue while keeping the image of pronouncing an “n” sound in your head.

I like to pronounce it as nginks like fucking inks. Yes, with a ng sound in the beginning.

I believe the English one is the original. The “original” one (the one in Chinese) was probably translated from English.

Am I weird for mistaking this for “bookmarks from the year 1679” and thinking that was the point of the meme?

aaaaxy. non-euclidean madness.

yes! Please seed more on i2p!

I see! Thanks, will try to back up my docker compose services this way.

Can you elaborate on how your backup script re-deploys on new hardware? Sounds very nice to have.

it really does suck. mine started since I was 14, like wtf

Thanks! I might use that, since I do already have Nginx Proxy Manager set up.

I want to learn stenography, but haven’t really got to buying a keyboard designed for it. I also want to host an EteSync server, but the HTTPS thing has been a bit of a headache for me and I’ve mostly just left it sitting there.

imho Chinese platforms censor their words too much. you might not have seen it, but the users self censor words like death, suicide, sex, and stuff like that.

I feel like this is Taiwan. The huge amount of motorcycles, the vibes the buildings give off, the green doorplates… I also found a few articles from Taiwanese websites when I reverse-image-searched this. One of those articles also mentioned that somebody shared this image on a Taiwanese Facebook (eww) forum.

Is that a 35-digit PIN or a 35-character password?

I know, that’s awful. I also turn it off. But that’s actually different than the new feature mentioned in this post. This has existed for years already (I think)

hell desk

Brilliant.

Before I read this article, I also thought it would be a great idea to get rid of timezones entirely and just use UTC for everything. To quote from the link, (please forgive me for being lazy and not formatting it correctly)

Abolishing time zones brings many benefits, I hope. It also:

• causes the question “What time is it there?” to be useless/unanswerable
• necessitates significant changes to the way in which normal people talk about time
• convolutes timetables, where present
• means “days” (of the week) are no longer the same as “days”
• complicates both secular and religious law
• is a staggering inconvenience for a minimum of five billion people
• makes it near-impossible to reason about time in other parts of the world
• does not mean everybody gets up at the same time, goes to work at the same time, or goes to bed at the same time
• is not simpler.

As long as humans live in more than one part of the world, solar time is always going to be subjective. Abolishing time zones only exacerbates this problem.

thanks, I see now. really well made response video.

Sabine Hossenfelder - they have positions that cause hurt to people

Can you elaborate on this? I haven’t really watched much of her content, so I am not quite sure how she’s causing hurt.

that was decades ago. it never happens nowadays
