Discussion
At my 9-year-old daughter's party at the swimming pool, the kids saw some poo floating in the pool. I only informed the staff when it was time for us to leave, because I knew they were required to evacuate the pool, and so they did.
@fesshole Breaking: the pool evacuation was not in the script, but the timing was impeccable.
@worldsofzzt Wait, can't you just completely ignore the puzzle and go straight for the lock release?
@kewliomzx i love how many folks missed the mark when making their own bank vaults
As promised, here's some pictures of the installed Sunrise PottyDoor:

I giggle every time I look at this silly thing we made.
@Ronnie I used to do it semi-randomly, didn't care which colors as long as they were similar material. But I mostly just buy black, in large batches when the old ones are getting bad.
Unfortunately, due to several players being ill we have made the difficult decision to postpone our LARP fundraising event tomorrow.
We have not locked in a new date yet so stay tuned - we are aiming for January once we have discussed with the venue.
For those of you interested but unable to make the November date, great news - hopefully you'll be able to join us on the new date 🤞🏻
One of the greatest fears the AI bros have is not „human extinction“, but that people/companies might one day just run their own models locally without giving OpenAI et al. access to their entire life and data and money on top. Because then the bubble pops.

> Most banking apps work with the per-app exploit protection compatibility mode enabled
I stand corrected! One of the apps that I wasn't able to get to work before does indeed work when I use these settings. Thank you!
Not disagreeing, just adding some uk info - I dont have a problem on grapheneos with Monzo, Starling, or Wise. But Santander stubbornly refuses to work no matter what I do. So it varies by bank and how unreasonable they want to be about which devices they work on.

"If the Democratic Socialists take over that is, like, the end of America."
- Peter Thiel
Essay Prompt: What does this statement suggest about the characteristics Mr. Thiel sees as foundational and essential to "America"?
@futurebird @lisamelton Someone should point out to him and anyone buying into this nonsense that Denmark is just one democratic socialist country and is pretty remarkable as far as social support goes.
General medical costs?
Not a problem.
Job isn’t working out?
Here, have a standardized subsidy to ensure you can pay bills and eat and get by until you find something better.
Probably no small part of the reason that Denmark is often ranked among the happiest countries on the planet.
Changing more to that model would benefit the vast bulk of Americans, instead of the “I’ve got mine, to hell with you, and if you’re poor it’s your own fault” mentality of way too many. Including, I’m sure, Peter Thiel.
I was going to publish this edition of Boxed News last night, but my mini PC was down so I couldn’t send it. Stupid Devil’s Night.
Anyway, this time we’re talking about headless tech, including a new PC that looks like a decapitated laptop. Ichabod Crane would be proud.
Also, if you’re in the mood for costumes, check out this mini PC that dressed like a chicken bucket a few years back.
"from a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer, and being used 5% of the time”
-- sam altman (october 29th 2026)
@jk Counterpoint: unlike the DRAM owned by Altman, the stuff in people's houses is only being wasted 95% of the time.
@natevw ah yeah it's new to macOS 27 I think
@natevw unfortunately "presumptuous BS" is the state of all software these days and I hate that I'm stuck with macOS for my music software because I'd really like to be able to just switch back to Linux as my daily driver at this point
like, Linux is full of AI code at this point but at least the UI still gives you a choice of it being user-centric instead of capitulating to "AI is the future, you must submit to the machine"
happy halloween! today is a great day to get spooked by inexplicable footage from within a nightmare. though that's not actually the scariest thing here...
go read I Found Evidence of My House Spinning. you can find it online. uh, it's over here... *rummaging around in the wunderkammer* oh here we go, https://suricrasia.online/unfiction/spinning/
For some unfathomable reason, my wife doesn't think collecting disposable coffee cups is a legitimate hobby. I have a secret stash, but I worry that it will soon be too many to hide.
@fesshole Breaking: a secret stash has been located by everyone except the person hiding it. Our advice: label it archival footage and deny everything.
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
