Boy howdy. This week's No Such Thing As A Fish goes from ridiculous American blue laws and "American cheese" - two of their favorite misunderstood topics - to straight up insulting Americans, including an out-of-the blue cheap shot by @neilhimself at American pharmacists. Jesus, guys. What gives?
In medieval London, everyone from kings to peasants ate eels. But by the 19th C eels had largely become a street food.
In 1851, London imported 9.8 million live eels per year (mostly from Holland). 70% went to street vendors selling hot buttered eels in poorer parts of the city. #eels#medieval#history#london
@Ajo1322 Final Fantasy 7, technically. But if we're talking actual PS2 titles, Silent Hill 2. I remember watching the opening cutscene and then wondering why it was taking so long, not realizing that it had seamlessly transitioned to gameplay. Damn those graphics were good for the time.
Listening to @neilhimself talking about the history of bagels (based in Polish anti-semitism, I did not know) on my favorite trivia podcast while all the other UK-based hosts are politely like "Lox is what...?" and just being reminded again at how much some of the "traditional" foods for me are unusual/unknown even among... people who know things for a living.
It's almost my birthday :blobcatcheer: and I plan to ask for another book or book series as my present :catsip: :catsip: :catsip: I just think I deserve it lol
I am not sure which book I'd ask for though. Last year (before the total collapse of it all), I asked for the Harry Potter series. I had been dying to get the physical copies of them since I became a fan back in highschool. :blobcathug: :blobcathug: :blobcathug: But since the issue with 𝘚𝘩𝘦-𝘞𝘩𝘰-𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭-𝘕𝘰𝘵-𝘉𝘦-𝘕𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘥, it became stale and I practically had the longest reading slump in my entire life so far.
I wish that whatever book or book series I pick relieves me from my slump. Then I'll finally rejoin reading spaces and (maybe) even join in ʙᴏᴏᴋᴛᴏᴅᴏɴ :blobcatcoffee: :blobcatcoffee: :blobcatcoffee:
Federated wireguard network idea
Any feedback welcome.
Let's keep things stupidly simple and simply hash the domain name to get a unique IPv6 ULA prefix.
Then we would need a stupidly simple backend application to automatically fetch pubkeys and endpoints from DNS and make a request to add each others as peers.
Et voilà, you got a worldwide federated wireguard network resolving private ULA addresses. Sort of an internet on top of the internet .
The DNS entries with the public IPv4 / IPv6 addresses could even be delegated to other domains / endpoints which would act as reverse proxy (either routing or nesting tunnels) for further privacy.
Maybe my approach is too naïve and there are flaws I haven't considered, so don't be afraid to comment.
TOR lets journalists do their job safely from dangerous places, lets whistle-blowers report things we should know, and lets people in oppressive regimes see the rest of the Internet that their government blocks. It’s an amazing tool.
Yesterday was my first bigger "party" since self-diagnosis. It was a work event. After 2h, I was overloaded and in danger of getting a migraine. Could prevent with sugary drinks. After 4h, I got cranky but my ride wanted to go home, too.
Today, I have a social hungover. Luckily, we got the day off.
I am glad that I went, but the next time I try to recruit more of "my" people because everyone sticks to their team mates there, not so much mingling. #ActuallyAutistic 1/2
In the past, I would have been angry with myself for getting almost sick and being so overloaded. Now I know this is because of my #autism, because of how my brain is, that my senses are not deprived like with neurotypical people. It's pretty wild that they enjoy talking while loud music is played simultaneously and the surrounding is so busy.
(I was a bit ashamed of not washing my hands with soap, but its smell almost made me vomit. Sometimes it's small things, too.) #actuallyautistic 2/2
I've seen a few accounts on Mastodon that have the hashtag #ActuallyAutistic and I'm a bit confused. Does it convey a different message compared to having an #Autistic hashtag?
Hat wer 1 Ahnung was sich in dieser Szenerie abspielt? Das Foto dürfte, laut Bildformat, in der Zeit zwischen 1910 und 1940 in der ländlichen Steiermark entstanden sein. Habe das Foto bei den Fotoalben meiner verstorbenen Oma entdeckt und frage mich ob es sich hierbei um eine Obduktion handelt. Könnte aber auch 1 Kaiserschnitt sein? Idk sind nur meine Gedanken vllt hat wer andere Ideen. #followerpower#askmastodon
