Anyone around who has experience with magnet valves? I got one here (in a coffee machine) that buzzes loudly when active, is that a sign it's going to bite the dust soon? Any suggestions for fixes, like repeated descaling, or simply giving it a good whack? Or save myself the hassle and just get a replacement part?
The Kids' parents left them on the Enterprise while they went on "sabbatical"? WTF?
"Yes darling. Let's go on a year-long vacation away from our scientific pursuits. It's all gotten so boring. What should we do with the children, you ask? Let's leave them in the daycare on the starship. The counselor and the android will take care of them."
"Splendid idea, darling. Let's GO." #AllStarTrek

Spent about 2 hrs so far with AAA and an insurance agency with neither of them giving me quotes.
What a racket. The law requires us to have insurance, I drive well enough that the only payout insurance has ever made in my entire lifetime was when my insurance company actually didn't contest something they should have contested (a driver rear-ended me). It's pretty much free money for them and they still don't want to come through with a quote in a timely manner.
For 2024 our auto insurer added a very detailed clause prohibiting use of the vehicle for Uber, etc. I suspect people who were driving for those services just weren’t notifying their insurers, but that will be a lot harder in future. It probably took a while for the big insurers to hammer out those clauses with state regulators.
For the commercial policy they probably want the applicant to be some form of corporate entity, whether LLC or some form of corp.
The overarching goal is an experimental system to make ActivityPub federation stuff clearer for devs, sysadmins and advanced users.
The documentation is incomplete and the code is really not OK! But they always say it's better to get stuff out the door for others to look at sooner. Maybe it inspires others to think about the Fediverse/ActivityPub in weird new ways!
Very interesting. It would certainly make doom scrolling harder. Email always feels more personal, like each message was sent specifically to me for a reason. As opposed to feeds, which feels like looking at cars as they drive by.
I think this system pushes against those boundaries. This sort of concrete brainstorming at the edges is such a crucial part of software evolution, so thank you.
I would actually love this. I use email for everything, it is so nice to have everything come to the same place. Right now I follow a few Mastodon users via an RSS-to-Email service, but the problem with that is that you can’t follow private accounts/see followers-only toots. It would be great to have a full email bridge.
I was considering making this myself at one point. But I think one of the big problem with ActivityPub is that it describes a single particular account. So if my ActivityPub-email bridge was running you wouldn’t also be able to access a Mastodon UI and for example browse other posts. So my account would need to be email-only which would be missing UX for a lot of things (like commenting on a random post I was linked to).
A coop PvE game for two dads and three sons?
A shooter, preferably. Any recommendations, #mastodon guys? The youngest lad is 10, so as little violence as possible. Thanks 😉
I did this previously by using MultiMC (now PrismLauncher). Make a mix of mods, send them the zip of the whole game instance and ask them to drag and drop it onto MultiMC. The biggest issue I encountered was one family member having a black ingame world until they changed a setting in the graphics mod, otherwise it didn’t seem to be too hard.
By comparison Minetest is much easier for playing mods with family. Everyone downloads the server’s mods when they join. But the interest is lower.
