me normally: I still have so much life, I'm barely getting started, age isn't slowing me down

me after hearing my early 20s friend stayed up until 4 AM but is completely fine and energetic this morning:

Really liking Coolify for the most part, even if I had some headaches setting it up. Got a lot figured out today, though.

Bye bye, Vercel. 👋

wired: using "main" for Git repositories because the only thing that deserves to be called "Master" is your dominant

A surprising number of important people in technology are luddites/amish-ish who just liked both math and money and followed those gradients.

No PDS auto-resolving is just plain annoying, though, it just takes one very simple plc.directory lookup

They also were making a lot of changes to how OAuth was implemented recently to do things like support granular permissions, and the specs were kind of a mess for a minute.

To be clear, my intent is not to say you have to follow my blueprint here, just that I found that relatable

never trust that a gun is unloaded, never point it at something you aren't fine destroying, and keep your finger off the trigger unless you're preparing to shoot

Thorne 🌸 @ens0.me · 16h

never, ever, ever, ever point a real gun at someone except in self-defense, no matter how sure you are it's unloaded

this is the first thing any serious gun safety expert will tell you

Juliette Rihl @julietterihl.bsky.social · 20h

I don’t usually cover breaking news, but this story is truly wild.

A pastor in central PA brought an AR-15 to church and pointed it at people during his sermon. Gun safety experts and internet commentators are, predictably, not happy!

Dauphin County pastor under fire for pointing assault-style rifle during sermon

In a move experts called a serious safety violation, he pointed the unloaded weapon at churchgoers, while asking for a 'violent action of faith.'

Remember the thing about how younger Gen X and elder Millennials were somewhat inoculated because we got to absorb Internet at the right age and at the right intensity, more or less? But that boomers and younger folks were utterly vulnerable and went insane? They didn't have the antibodies?

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

In response to Iryna's murder, a lot of people are focusing on the cashless part of the fact the killer was out on cashless bail.

If someone is too dangerous to be let out on the streets again, they're just as dangerous if they can cough up a lot of money. Maybe MORE dangerous.

It doesn't really have a strong flavor on its own. Just mildly meaty and earthy.

Thorne 🌸 @ens0.me · 17h

The flavor and texture is like the halfway point between a portobello mushroom and steak, and they're usually cooked doused in garlic and butter.

The vast majority of people, if they actually ate escargot, would enjoy the taste itself a lot.

I say this as someone who has only ever eaten one bite of escargot because it tasting good didn't cure it squicking me out mentally.

Tweet reading, "There are people who think snails taste good."

A lot of my best moments creatively have involved coming up with interesting ways to get from point A to point B that don't just involve taking the path of least resistance, that are deepening the tension and the uniqueness in the process
