Ubiquiti is using mongodb 3.6 in its installation instructions for self-hosting the UniFi controller.

Support for mongodb 3.6 ended in April 2021, as far as I can tell.

So while I've got an up to date UniFi installation, the database behind it is *very* old.

Updating mongodb to something more modern (e.g. 7) is painful.

Very painful.

Fortunately - with lots of backups - uninstalling mongodb 3.6 and purging unifi, then installing mongodb 7 and reinstalling unifi, then restoring unifi from backup, worked.

Daniela Kubesch wrote her Master's Thesis on "The Impact of Web Accessibility Overlays on the Usability and User Experience for People with Permanent Visual Impairments".

Now we can confidently state "Scientific research has shown that accessibility overlays are ineffective." Thank you, Daniela!

Raz sme zastavili v kolibe pod Donovalmi, hladní. Prezerám jedálny a že bryndzové halušky s jelením gulášom. Výbuch smiechu, kto si toto môže dať? Ale na nič z ponuky som nedostal extra chuť. Prišiel čašník, že čo to bude. Hovorím, neviem. Že mám si dať bryndzové s jelením. Hovorím, nech nežartuje. Že Maďari si to dávajú. To som spozornel, oni sú mlsné huby. Tak že dobre 😳 Bolo to vynikajúce. Naberačka gulášu bola v strede, ako slanina, nie bokom.

It's been a while, but I finally added a new page to the Electrics Archive site!

This is the beginning of an upcoming series of additions on plugs and sockets from various parts of Asia I was given, which I'm particularly excited about given how hard they are to obtain.

I hope you'll enjoy reading it! I plan to add more to it over time, I've only scratched the surface so far

>I might have mangled filenames in Content-Disposition unintentionally and I'll check that later, but that's the only possibly known issue right now.
Turns out this is a misconfiguration on my nginx setup. It takes the ?name parameter and stuff that as the filename into Content-Disposition which browsers of course take as a literal input and include the pluses in the filename dialog.

I guess this is another reason why nginx cannot be used to serve media in certain configurations, because if it is served by Pleroma, the header is correct.

I've been told that Parallels no longer allows for Bluetooth passthrough without using an external dongle. That was the main reason I wanted to use Parallels, since Fusion doesn't do this anymore, either, as I need braille support on both Mac and Windows at the same time.

So, my options, apparently, are:
Plug the display into an available USB port, pass that through to the Windows VM and use Bluetooth for the Mac host, or keep a bluetooth dongle connected at all times when using a VM.

Unfortunately, I can't completely avoid Windows.

I hate modern computing.

Jak jsme streamovali OpenAlt na Vhsky.cz

Vhsky.cz provozujeme už skoro rok a víme, že dokážeme dobře poskytovat videa na vyžádání, tento víkend jsme si ale ukázali, že zvládneme i streamování větší konference. Celá akce nám přinesla velké množství zkušeností, které jsem shrnul v tomto blogovém zápisku.

ooooh, a very unique type of spam email. The kind where you have special knowledge of a place. There's only one Waunakee in the world, and it's in Wisconsin. Our cafe used to be there. And their schools are funded by all the rich suburbanites who work in biotech in Madison. They don't need your money. They have ice hockey, volleyball, golf, tennis, SKIING AND SNOWBOARDING TEAMS (no mountains), basketball, baseball, softball, football, wrestling, soccer, swimming, cross country, MOUNTAIN BIKING (wtf?), gymnastics, track and field, and lacrosse as their school sports.

These people do NOT need tshirt sponsors. They are rich as fuck.

And they emailed an address of mine which they couldn't possibly think was a local person. And it's not a business.

Hi! I am Katie, and I'm a project coordinator at All-American Publishing.
We're creating Track Shirts for Waunakee High School.

We would love to feature your business on the t-shirts! They are free to
the school, exciting for the kids -- provided by local businesses such as
yours. A very select number of businesses will be featured on these unique
t-shirts.

We are working with Jenny Grabarski, the Track & Field Coach at
the high school. We're preparing 100 t-shirts that will be given to the
Track Athletes and Supporters at the Track Meets!

If you would like to participate in this project, reply and let me know,
and I will send you more info on what you would need to do to sign up and
secure your spot!

“Our negotiators had never seen this before in any international talks,” said one European official, who had spoken to negotiators. “People being summoned to the U.S. Embassy in London — intimidation, threats of cessation of business, threats of family members losing visas.”


This is the same government in whose jurisdiction your cloud resides.

Just saying.

RE: mastodon.social/@bagder/115486…

I have mixed feelings about Autotools. Its creators deserve credit for helping to usher in the explosion of open source in the late 90s and early 00s, but the lack of first class Windows support has made my life painful from time to time.


yeah, I'm one those who still think autotools is the lesser evil compared to cmake. No need to tell me how wrong I am.
