I saw a quote, as I do every year, from @neilhimself and then remembered he had expanded on it. These are good thoughts in hard times to take forward into the new year.
Growing up in the area, there were years where we'd bring our whole family up to the curbside of the #RoseParade and camp out for a day or two ahead of time. Just floats, bands, equestrians.
It's a little weird to see them going for the Super Bowl type-spectacle now. I'm both impressed & disgusted.
Esp with Honda as a sponsor, we get really auto-oriented BS in the beginning. #HappyNewYear
Unexpected way to see cyclists in the parade - the New Buffalo Soldiers group representing the Iron Riders of the 25th Infantry. When the military was checking out bicycles as an alternative to cavalry.
Anyone who knows me knows that I've been using next cloud forever, and I fully endorse anyone doing any level of self hosting should have their own. It's just a self-hosted Swiss army knife, and I personally find it even easier to use than something like SharePoint.
I had a recurring issue where my logs would show "MYSQL server has gone away". It generally wasn't doing anything, but occasionally would cause large large file uploads to fail or other random failures that would stop quickly after.
The only thing I did is I went in and doubled wait_timeout in my /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf
After that, my larger file uploads went through properly.
It might not be the best solution but it did work so I figured I'd share.
Here’s a cool article I found on Nextcloud performance improvements, and connecting Redis over Unix sockets gave me a more substantial performance improvement than migrating to Postgres. Very happy I fell down this rabbit hole today.
To note if you’re following the tutorial in the link above, and for people using the nextcloud:stable container together with the recommended cron container:
the redis configuration (host, port, password, …) need to be set in config/config.php, as well as config/redis.config.php
the cron container needs to receive the same /etc/localtime and /etc/timezone volumes the app container did, as well as the volumes_from: tmp

Es gibt auch eine Gruppenverteiler @actuallyautistic an den du posten und dem du folgen kannst, wenn du willst.
Queere Leute (aller Flavours) gibt's auch, wobei ich wenig Einblick habe, wie lesbische zu finden sind. @iyalei, kannst du weiterhelfen?
I've watched the last two Indiana Jones movies today. Crystal Skull and Dial of Destiny. I enjoyed them both, even under the weather. Yes I am feeling poorly.
One of two possibilities. Either I have a cold, which coincidentally began about 12 hours after the RSV vaccine, or I am having side effects from said vaccine.
Honestly, even if it is from the vaccine, I'm still glad I got it. Vaccines are important, especially at my age. And, no, they don't cause #autism.
I've had intermittent low grade fever, fatigue, stuffy head, and occasional cough. The fatigue could be #fibromyalgia , but the rest is definitely not.
I'm treating with generic Alka Seltzer Cold and Flu. That and bed rest. No big plans for #NYE are being ruined. Not to worry.
"As conflation and confusion abound after 7 October, we need clear thinking about antisemitism"
by:
David Feldman, director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Study of Antisemitism,
Brendan McGeever, senior lecturer at the Birkbeck Institute for the Study of Antisemitism.
Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi, who teaches at the University of #Haifa, #israelPalestine, explained the paradox: “One can detest Jews and love Israelis, because Israelis somehow are not Jews. Israelis are colonial fighters and settlers, just like Afrikaners. They are tough and resilient. They know how to dominate. Jews are different. They are, among other qualities, gentle, non-physical, often passive, intellectual. So one can go on disliking Jews while admiring the Israelis.”
"The Campaign Against Antisemitism #CAA was formed in 2014, after a previous Israeli bombardment of Gaza. Its explicit founding purpose was to counter the antisemitism that arises in Britain when Israel pummels Palestinians and, implicitly, to defend Israel’s right to pummel. Chief executive Gideon Falter is also vice chairman of the Jewish National Fund #JNF UK, which is reported to have provided funding to the CAA in the past. The JNF enjoys charitable status and its existence predates the Balfour Declaration. For over a century, it has bought up land in historic Palestine, helped plan the Nakba, furthered exclusive Jewish settlement and transformed colonised land into parks and forests to erase what had been before."
🙏 for mentioning the biography by Frances A. Underhill, 'For Her Good Estate'. I edited the expanded 2nd edition. The booksite at https://barnes1.net/FHGE/ includes a resource page with many free downloads, & an account of the Lady's insistence on choral music at #ClareCollege. Book sales support this! the hardback more so.
