@geekysteven Sure, but also, don't trust politicians AT ALL, unless you've (successfully) bribed them. They used to say "vote for who you'd rather have to fight," because showing up regularly (ideally in large numbers) to make it clear what the community thinks is a lot more effective than voting for a perfect candidate (remember Sinema?) and hoping that (a) they didn't lie and (b) the far right doesn't convince them that they speak for the community...

@TechConnectify 👍

Unfortunately I can't confirm the "alkaline batteries are all about the same, regardless of the brand" claim. Some non-brand batteries (not from a Dollar-Tree-like shop) can have a much lower capacity than one would expect (the non-brand batteries in my post lasted one month where brand batteries lasted over a year in a digital clock).

Maybe I should give CarbonZink a try.

Pro-democracy plaintiffs keep filing lawsuits to keep up with Trump regime’s ongoing election interference. I don’t see any legacy media reporting comprehensively on the daily encroachments by the regime or pro-democracy plaintiffs’ efforts to block them. There’s a massively important news story here that is getting covered only piecemeal. 1/ #LawFedi

My husband and I each bought a bag of treats to hand out tomorrow for Halloween. Can you guess which is my half? #halloween

@fluffy yeah, that would be a handy overview to have! I feel like running goaccess in multi-vhost mode would get close as far as https traffic goes, but i'd still need a separate monitor for non-http traffic through the vpn (like outgoing activitypub/redundancy.. i've had trouble with that in the past)

@scanlime like okay I can easily see that my fronting server is handling a lot of traffic to applebot but tracing through which service is to blame is hard

The scary thing is that the creativity I feel slipping comes rushing back when I'm sleep deprived

My mind very heavy thinking of my great layings out lately, and what they must still be for clothes, but I hope it is in order to getting of something the more by it, for I perceive how I have hitherto suffered for lack of going as becomes my place.

@stux Don't worry. We can put out the #TechBros fire with baybeez and ole laydeez.

*sigh*

Just remove them from power.
