Most importantly always break well before a turn in snow. Never break in a turn.

I missed this, someone have the TL;DR for the clueless?

O.o this comment is from 2024?

The US continues to surprise me.

In Canada the driver is penalized if any of their passengers are not wearing a seatbelt. Refusal to wear one means getting booted from the vehicle.

Alternative title: The Skids

Oh… This is it. The site I blacked out. Good grief what a horrible place.

There was some website that I’ve blacked out that had horrifying video of people dying in accidents. I remember someone sent me a link with a motorcyclist being hit by a train. I never clicked another link from that site.

It was worse than tubgirl.

What if that is exactly what puts Freeman on Starbase 80?

So, is anyone else anticipating some crossover with Prodigy and the events that affected the Prime Universe in it’s Season 2?

Because that’s exactly where my mind went when they did the whole foreshadowing of “someone sure is opening a lot of time rifts lately”. (I might have that quote off a bit from Captain Freeman but I’ll edit once I get a chance to rewatch.)

I feel the same way about having to use Mac for work and going back to a Linux PC at the end of the day. God damn I hate Mac’s UX. From the entire UI, to the CMD key, to the fact that END functions as PGDN and goes to and of page instead of end of line.

Having 6 toes is as common as webbed feet in today’s world, and its not all that uncommon (I was born with 6 toes, my dad had 6 toes and fingers). They don’t have bones and surgeons just cut them off at birth these days.

In my mind the more fantastical mutations in the book make it a bit more far fetched and give it that sci-fi feel.

Turns out the city is full of telepaths like them and they refer to themselves as the “New People”

For me the most haunting thing I ever read in English class was The Chrysalids by John Wyndham.

In a sci-fi future post nuclear war the survivors in Labrador on the east coast of Canada completely reject science and all non biblical knowledge. They think everyone not made in their view of gods image needs to die, and that includes their children who begin to develop mutations due to the radiation.

The kids spend a lot of the book trying to escape the crazy, uneducated religious population and try to find a way across the nuclear wasteland that is the centre of Canada and the US in order to get to the Scientific society of survivors, who aren’t going to try and kill them, on the island of “Sealand”

I have never believed in religion in spite of being raised in a Catholic family. I read the Bible front to back young and realized it was nothing but contradictory nonsense and fantasy. For me, this novel my public high school teacher assigned to us was pure nightmare fuel.

Yep, for now I just add the Discourse forums to my RSS reader in Nextcloud and catch the new posts in the Nextcloud News app

Fediverse, Forums, or bust.

Oh, I don’t doubt they are treated well, this barn is just the most dystopian looking thing… Haha. I feel for the little guy. Probably feels lonely and trapped in a bed like that. In most barns I’ve seen the horses can stick their heads out and look around and see the other horses.

I’ve… Never seen a horse stall that looked so much like a prison before. Iron bars? But why?

TIL… Thanks.

EDIT: Been playing with it a bit now and if it uses keepass as the DB the advantage I see right now is that having it in Nextcloud means automatic sync, and there are several autofill and syncing apps for various OSes and password sharing and automated checks for breaches. It’s probably a better option for anyone with Nextcloud than going the Keepassxc/syncthing route.

I’ve always loved Keepass, however I moved away from it in 2012 as it and any file based vault has brute forcing issues. You need to track every copy of it that has been made and if any copy falls out of your hands, like if you lose a device, you need to do a password rotation on 100% of your passwords. Since its a file, its not possible to prevent brute forcing.

Alright does anyone have opinions on Nextcloud Passwords? There’s apps for it and it would sync to my Nextcloud.

I hate this. Bitwarden has been a good app.
