Hopefully it goes without saying that the offensiveness of graffiti in abandoned buildings is outside of my control.
Yeesh, I misread my own article when I posted the description here. Pepper closed after 37 years. It opened in 1976 and closed in 2013. Way to go, me.

I do use IRC now, but despite being online since c. 1997 I only started doing so a couple of years ago—initially so that I could be in #chimera-linux.

if anyone ever wants to install #NetBSD on a 486-class machine that doesn't have PCI, or does but has video on ISA, and you run into issues because it panics on boot:
i can help!
the long and short of it is that you need a boot image built with the LEGACY kernel instead of the GENERIC config. which i can point you to on demand
Really wishing the Google Chrome performance team had not removed DANE support for TLSA records that allowed site operators to set their TLS certificates for others to trust. Now we have no alternatives but to trust every web PKI certificate. Yuck.
Please @FirefoxOfficial bring back DANE support, do the slightly slower but more safe thing.
@thedarktangent what was Google's reasoning for ripping the support?

If you want to trust a hypothetical “detects CSAM honest” feature with something like this, well, you go ahead.
I mean; just imagine for one moment that lemmy.ml actually is the hotbed of revolutionaries that is going to usher in the Glorious Revolution that it thinks it is; it starts actually moving mountains, politically speaking.
And, some bright spark has implemented the “automatically download and distribute content from unverified sources, protected only by the open-source Kiddy-Porno-Matic Verifier v0.1.23” feature.
If I were Peter Thiel it would take me 5 minutes to start posting links that caused lemmy.ml’s servers to start downloading and then distributing kiddy porn, about 20 minutes to get some tame journalists parked outside the owners’ houses and lemmy.ml’s datacentre, and another 10 minutes to call up the friendly neighbourhood goons in wherever they are located for the photogenic armed raid. And once the “revolutionary leaders in court for making and distributing child pornography” headlines had finished writing themselves, I wouldn’t even worry about whether the court would accept the “but we ran the Kiddy-Porno-Matic Verifier v0.1.23!” defence, because their lives would be over already. No smoke without fire, after all…
Nah. “Automatically download and distribute content” features need rather more thinking through than historically Mastodon et al have given them. They certainly don’t need to create any more.
(And to be clear - maybe Mastodon has fixed some of their underlying problems - I ran an instance a few years ago, and the constant whack-a-mole of blocking actual-Nazi and actual-Pedo instances, and the risk that it could just go ahead and download something to my servers because a user followed the wrong person had me shutting it down not long after. As I say, maybe they fixed that - but this mooted feature would be bringing back the same problem.)
Of course, maybe Lemmy.ml is (a) hosted in a jurisdiction where they don’t give a fuck, and (b) can afford to defend themselves. But this kind of feature will actively work against people who otherwise might host a small instance, and I thought that is what we wanted, not just a few massive instances that can afford to lawyer up.
All, I should say, IMHO of course.
GNOME 51: a look at everything that changed!
I know it was just a carpet cleaning, but it feels nice to have done something good. We couldn't afford replacing the carpet, so we settled on Stanley Steemer. They did a phenomenal job.
Hopefully we'll have the funds fully saved this time next year to replace the carpet. We were close to having it fully funded, but our fence fell down into our neighbor's backyard, so that (obviously) took financial priority. Lowe's quoted us a little bit over $6,000 USD and, at the time, we had $3,000 saved.
(We don't use credit cards or other financing options--we're old school and save for (99.9% of) things. The only debt we have is our mortgage. We paid off the car earlier this year and that was our only non-mortgage debt.)
These past couple weeks, things have just been lining up nicely. And I'm grateful for that.
@ajroach42 I appreciate you sharing this story! I've long felt like people who make community spaces happen are pulling off some kind of incomprehensible magic trick, and lately I've been wanting to comprehend the magic.
I'd like to have more third-spaces in my area, but I don't have a plan for making that happen, especially in a decent-sized city like Portland where space is expensive. I do however have experience getting help on projects from local university students who are about to graduate and need to complete a "capstone" class.
I'm thinking I'll pitch a business capstone soliciting plans for spaces that don't rely on everyone who's there spending money. The students might not produce anything useful but I am super curious what they might come up with! And in the worst case I think it would be an educational experience for them, which I'd be happy about in its own right.
So that's the context where I'm finding it especially inspiring to hear that you did a thing and, although it might have taken longer than you hoped for some of the pieces to come together, it's working out for you.
@jamey I have always prioritized moving quickly, so we worked on opening a physical space as quickly as possible.
Some road blocks and things in 2016 - 2020 really slowed us down (surprisingly, these were all personal road blocks and not global, but whatever)
There are lots of ways to 1) find cheap space. 2) Bootstrap that space into something financially sustainable.
If it would be helpful, I could walk through some of the unconventional ways you can explore that (although I don't know anything about Portland.)
But that's probably cart before horse.
@jsatk @adarsh I log my rides here so let's see... I started logging at 1500 miles on November 16, 2023. So that's 35 months for 4700 miles, or 134 miles a month on average. So if we extrapolate backwards from that, that's 44.68 months, or three years, eight and a half months.
(In reality, that gets into the core COVID area, when I was going fewer places, so adjust accordingly. But at the rate of the bulk of it, 3 years, 8 months, 21 days.
As for where I live, there's an area north of Seattle in northwest King County called Northshore, and I live somewhere in that general area. (Which is why I build and maintain the Greater Northshore Bike Connector Map in its various editions.)
@jsatk @adarsh I have a... 75%-written post about this talking about how you absolutely _do not_ need to live downtown or something like that and it has a few repetitions of this line with different map points:
I do not live here, but it is not unlike my neighbourhood: https://maps.app.goo.gl/PjQdpd4rAAAVV4rZ9
The point of that being, of course, to demonstrate how doable this is.

@neatnik what is this new thing?
@adjb I added an About page (https://wordwrap.lol/_/about) which explains things a bit.
"In late August, President Donald Trump announced what he called the 'biggest oil deal in world history.' Since then, the full text of the accord — which grants the U.S. sweeping access to Venezuela’s oil reserves — has been one of the most sought-after secrets in Washington, D.C.
"ProPublica has reviewed a copy of the 18-page strategic partnership agreement signed for the United States by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The document reveals carefully constructed terms that favor U.S. interests at every turn and cements the power of a small group of people handpicked by the Trump administration to govern and profit from the deal. The role of the Venezuelan government and the potential benefits to its people are largely absent from the text."

@jalefkowit isn't there international trade law, that would make outrageously disadvantaged deals for one party illegal and not binding?
If there isn't - there should be such a law.
