FediNuke/tier0.csv transparency update:
Added some new bias sources to replace a removed one, and increased the consensus requirement. This caused some removals.
No new instances added to FediNuke. Two dead instances removed:
noagendasocial.nltheapex.socialRemoved 16 dead instances from my larger tier0.csv list. After these changes, another 9 instances failed to meet the consensus requirement for inclusion without overrides. I used my override process to add back 5 that were of sufficient severity. See more about my override process: I can force-add instances that almost have the minimum consensus requirement, with minimal overhead.

skip a #curl transfer
- If the target file already exists on disk, skip downloading it.
daniel:// stenberg:// reshared this.
Wouldn't a resume option do the same and more?
I could see where skipping files could be useful, but imho it's easy to deal with in scripts, resuming OTOH isn't and would skip files if the size match (possibly with a variant to skip if length can't be pre-determined or transfer can't be resumed...).

If you've received emails with invoice PDFs attached for products you didn't buy, here's what's going on and what to do next.Ed Bott (ZDNET)
I wonder who thought it would be a good idea to use a separate circuit breaker per socket but then wire three of them under one shared RCD so that (much more common) earthing fault in one socket will disconnect a group of three.
Putting there 6 two-pole circuit breaker/RCD combinations would take exactly the same space, provide full separation between outlets and would cost only a few euros more.
After the building's drain was finally unclogged yesterday, I noticed my siphon (P-trap) cleanout cap threading is imperfect, and water was slowly dripping out of it.
After cleaning the threading with a soapy toothbrush, I wrapped teflon tape (6 rounds, in the direction where you screw the cap on) on the thread, and used a Sharpie® to annotate my servicing technique (tool & rotation direction).
Forget pliers, use a jar opener; no excessive force, no damage.
This post got like 500 boosts and now all these computer people want to talk about package management so I think it's important to take a moment and show the new followers what I really care about: butts

Last night Organic Maps was removed from the Play Store without any warnings or additional details due to "not meeting the requirements for the Family Program". Compared to Google Maps and other maps apps rated for 3+ age, there are no ads or in-app purchases, and no user information is collected in Organic Maps. We have asked for an appeal.
As a temporary workaround you can install the upcoming Google Play update from this link: cdn.organicmaps.app/apk/Organi…
This APK should work with Android Auto.

I love the Apple IIGS. It’s a great computer, but could it have been greater? The legend goes that Apple purposefully underclocked its CPU during development to avoid competing with the Macintosh.Dan Vincent (Userlandia)
This is why friends don't let friends buy app-controlled (or internet of things connected) domestic appliances.
It's always an excuse to up-sell you shit you don't need, and when that fails, the owners (not you, the corporations!) will jack up the rent.
