It’s the same for me but it’s my two chihuahuas. I work from home and they’re always by my side: we go on walks together, and I give them lots of attention throughout the day. Hell, I spend more time with them than I do my wife (who works 30 mi away)! They understand me and I understand them.

Feeling burned out from the week, I’ll be going to a semi-formal dinner party that I’m not in the mood for Saturday.

Isn’t that Bootstrap’s “info” blue too?

Then why respond?

I know, but why? Not trying to be a hater but why not just use the native words?

I wonder why “great” and “sword” need to be Katakana

Greedy fucks. This is why I’m sometimes ashamed to tell people I work in tech.

Why with analytics? This is exactly why I block all link shortening domains on my network.

More broadly, I really wish all of us in the technology community would stop with the tracking. Why do email links need to be tracked? Why do we need hidden pixels? Why do QR code scans need to be tracked? I understand the profit motive but guess what? You can still run a business without spying on users.

• Mlem
• Tailscale
• Apple News
• Apple Podcasts
• Safari (though if I didn’t have have heavy ad/tracking blocking at the DNS level I’d switch to Orion with UBlock Origin)

Taking a THC + CBD gummy along with a ton of beer Friday night, then likely sitting around the rest of the weekend being poor.

Great point. I always forget that because I would never want to query without encryption.

I think PiHole is using Unbound behind the scenes. What I like about Blocky is not only does the performance to be much, much more solid using an upstream resolver with high latency (VPN exiting in another country), it automatically refreshes the denylists (something I think PiHole has to do in a more roundabout way).

I’ve used Unbound for years but recently had to switch to Blocky for some weird reason. It turned out to be way, way faster than Unbound.

As a bonus, blocking thousands of advertising and tracking domains is much easier with Blocky (if you’re into that).

The photo is kind of funny—it looks like they grew a gigantic tooth rather than just an adult one.

If only there were an anonymous, distributed, peer-to-peer network where things like this could be hosted easily. cough i2p

Well the layout of the search in the new version also completely fucking sucks since at least in the old layout it would highlight the section you needed to go to.

I much prefer the one on the right. Sure, it looked a bit less modern but it wasn’t nearly as glitchy as the newer one. I rely on searching for settings and it almost never works; I really don’t know how Apple ever let the new version into macOS.

My wife and I hosted a Christmas gathering at our place with a few friends as well as some acquaintances.

We had organized Secret Santa and I was given someone but on the day of the event I thought that we had been tasked with giving gifts as couples — I thought my wife had chosen a gift but it turned out that I had just totally forgotten to buy one for the person I drew.

Finally resolved an issue with Tailscale and DNS. Unbound on my VPS kept serving records too slowly from a distant (~200ms) upstream DNS server, Tailscale would return SERVFAIL then iOS/macOS would cache it for a long time.

I’m not sure how it’s fixed but simply swapping out Unbound with Blocky solved the problem.
