"Dear Colton Scott,

This email is to confirm that your [...] password has been reset."

Ok Colton, are you good now? Maybe using my email address for that service was not the best idea.

in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

I got the domain I'm using for my mails "used" a couple of years ago, so it was previously registered by another person.

There was a Paypal account tied to it and I constantly got the password reset mails until I disabled the address tied to the account.

This was annoying, especially since I had no idea how to get in touch with the owner.

I hold some first name domains in .de and have set up a catchall mail account for them. Got some interesting accounts in past years, but not anymore recently. I guess more accounts are bound to phone numbers now instead of email addresses.


Everyone should read the brilliant @emptywheel 's new piece on Musk and X/Twitter. We know what he has done over there is bad, but the depths of the criminal depravity can only be described as horrific. Empywheel has been on the case for over a decade, and has done a great job of laying it out here:

emptywheel.net/2024/11/01/elon…



"Jezz Bezos and Elon Musk emit more carbon pollution in 90 minutes than the average human does in their entire life."
...
“Half of the world’s emissions come from the richest 10% of people. The wealthiest 1% by income account for 16% of emissions, which is more than the poorest two-thirds of people in the world,”

Gentle, biannual reminder that RSS is great and can be another tool in your toolbox to curate your online experience, improve mental health, and stay informed. It's also a much more accessible way to consume news if you have a client that handles full-text extraction. I've just updated my public list of RSS feeds after going nearly a whole year without doing so: tristanb.me/feeds/. this is a comprehensive list of most of the feeds that I follow, split up by category. #RSS #accessibility

@erion @simon I didn't realize NetNewsWire could hook into Google Reader compatible things. This is good to know. I've had it installed for years and never really got too deep into using it.
in reply to Tristan

The only reason why I am aware is because I didn't really want to read via the browser and Miniflux does not provide an aggregated rss feed to subscribe to. I really need to sit down one day and just send them a PR.


“Oxfam identified 23 superyachts owned by 18 billionaires and estimates the average annual carbon footprint of each of these yachts to be 5,672 tonnes, which is more than three times the emissions of the #billionaires’ private jets... This is equivalent to 860 years of emissions for the average person in the world, and 5,600 times the average of someone in the global poorest 50%.”

Wow, what an email: "Congratulations! Your #RIPE Atlas probe XXXX is 10 years old!" - I got this probe from @Oskar456 at #OpenAlt This does not have much publicity, so you may read about it (and get one) at atlas.ripe.net/probes/public


I wasn't sure if there was a tool out there to quickly add a program to the user startup folder in Windows, so I sat down and wrote one myself. I just used it on @masonasons's BNT program. I'll release this thing if people want it.
in reply to Stu

I mean if I've got to find the path to the executable anyway, it's no hardship to run shell;startup and make a shortcut to it. if more people knew how to make shortcuts they'd be better windows users

Quiero describiros la magnífica imagen que estoy teniendo.
Ahora mismo el Camino Nuevo de Picanya, carretera que une Valencia con los pueblos del sur es literalmente un río de gente cargada de víveres para los afectados.
La solidaridad también se desborda.

Got a very rancid scam text just now which I’ve pasted below. Warn your friends and family to look out for crap like this. It’s all fake.

The winter heating subsidy benefit plan provided by the government reminds you:
November is about to begin the severe cold period of this winter. The local council will decide to issue you a winter heating subsidy. If you can receive our information to prove that you meet the conditions for receiving it, there is no age limit for this subsidy plan. You can apply in the link Once you apply, we will review and issue it as soon as possible without affecting your receipt of other benefits.

Thank you for your support to the UK Government.

yeah, same sort of thing. Just the ... not incorrect english by the book, perhaps, but ... meh. I can't say what I'm trying to say


“El president de la Generalitat dijo a las 13.00 horas en un vídeo que la Dana se debilitaba a las 18.00 y se iba a Cuenca, cuando los expertos y los meteorólogos de todas las televisiones insitían en lo contrario. Se congratuló públicamente de que no hubiera “alerta hidrológica” poco después de que su propio departamento de Emergències la hiciera pública.”

There must be a way to make Foobar2000 play the audio from .ts streams and ignore the video, it plays so many other things. Right now when I try, it makes very weird digital screaming noise which would probably sound fine through a reverb, but not at all nice close-up.
in reply to Andre Louis

Just tried with an older satellite TV recording, and it plays perfectly using the aditional FFmpeg Decoder Wrapper extension. Maybe you have to pass some additional arguments for the ts file type in your case?
in reply to Steffen

@radiorobbe Mine are UK TV streams that I run on a raspberry pi, so it's not local. Local files do play I think.


Que un grupo fascista tenga estatutos de sindicato para poder personarse judicialmente como parte en todo lo que se les ocurra, muy del espíritu de la Ley de Libertad Sindical no es.

¿Hasta cuándo abusarás de nuestra paciencia, "Manos Limpias"?

in reply to modulux

@modulux
Algún sindicato debería denunciar el fraude de ley de constituir sindicatos para fines distintos del que tienen. Por ejemplo.
O un denunciado por ellos pedir amparo al constitucional por ser denunciado por un sindicato de dudoso estatus...
in reply to Cloaca Maxima

Ojalá, hay abuso de derecho manifiesto. Es peligroso ponerse a decidir que es un sindicato y que no, sobre todo con los jueces que tenemos, pero este en particular canta mucho.

Hmm. Fingers not quite up there after only 1 coffee and I have just introduced one of my slack channels to the Good MrOning.
I am sure he's a fine fellow, but that is not how you spell morning.

Ah, I adore receiving love letters that come right from the heart…

reminder: the Luddites were not anti-*technology*. They were anti-*factory owners firing weavers and replacing them with lower-paid loom workers*. They could have retrained the weavers and kept their pay high, but bosses gonna boss. We are all Luddites today.

The name later became a slur because the bosses won, and used propaganda to hide the history, and because smashing looms is a dramatic symbol, and humans like retelling dramatic stories, not depressing facts.

Que han denunciado a la directora de la AEMET por homicidio imprudente, es que me cago en todos sus muertos pisaos (no los de la directora, a esa señora solo lo mejor). Solo se me ocurren cosas violentas y anticonstitucionales. Vaya forma de empezar el día...

Krásné dobré ráno občané mastodonu! 🐕🙋‍♀️🐈
Všichni jsme se dočkali! Je to tu! Zasloužený pátek!
Dneska konečně odfrčí všechno vánoční zboží do obchodů. Už se u nás na základně nedalo pohybovat. A od pondělí začneme vyjíždět a dělat výlohy a měnit zboží.
Vánoce se blíží milánkové!
Mějte sváteční náladu. 😊👋
