Has tipping in America reached a tipping point?
  • Apparently there are now tip prompts on digital payment terminals for payday loans…

  • What games have you put the most hours into?
  • My list of multiple hundreds/thousands of hours include, in no particular order;

    • Minecraft (unknown, been playing since browser alpha demo)
    • Skyrim (600)
    • Rocket League (4000)
    • Fall Guys (1500)
    • Stardew Valley (unknown, play multiple saves a year on different platforms)
    • Vampire Survivors (400)
    • No Man’s Sky (1200)
  • Kickstarter for an open source raspberry pi portable computer
  • Looks like the DevTerm, uConsole line from clockwork pi. Love to see more retro-future designs like this!

  • Vintage Seiko Timetron. My favorite watch.
  • Seems like a great model to base an esp32 + 3D printed shell on as a project!

  • Selfhosting GitLab?
  • What are the features you need from your host? If it’s just remote syncing, why not just make a small Debian system and install git on it? You can manage security on the box itself. Do you need the overhead of gitlab at all?

    I say this because I did try out hosting my own GitLab, GitTea, Cogs, etc and I just found I never needed any of the features. The whole point was to have a single remote that can be backed up and redeployed easily in disaster situations but otherwise all my local work just needed simple tracking. I wrote a couple scripts so my local machine can create new repos remotely and I also setup ssh key on the remote machine.

    I don’t have a complicated setup, maybe you do, not sure. But I didn’t need the integrated features and overhead for solo self hosting.

    For example, one of my local machine scripts just executes a couple commands on the remote to create a new folder, cd into it, and then run git init —bare then I can just clone the new project folder on the local machine and get started.

  • Do you use the popcorn button?
  • The rare time I make microwave popcorn, I just hit the 3 for 3 minutes on high and then listen for the popping to have ~2 seconds between them and pull it out. Never had issues with this in every microwave I’ve used this for.

  • "Now, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed..."
  • Those who died before seeing it.

  • Not sure this fits but: Lanolin Nipple Cream instead of petroleum jelly.
  • Lanolin? L-Lanolin. Like sheep’s wool?

  • Anon needs cooking advice
  • You could also cut the food with more unsalted food, to fix the balance. Not uncommon in restaurant kitchens.

  • Coffee Rule
  • no ❤️

  • Aiwa AD-4200, 1976
  • Omg it’s gorgeous!

  • Turtle, not even her final form

    Trump names longtime ally Pam Bondi as his new attorney general pick after Matt Gaetz withdraws
  • At this point every single move he makes is 100% predictable based on 1980-2000 business marketing strategies.

  • Bi-weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?
  • Replaying Undertale since it’s been a few years. This game still holds up and still makes me emotional in most ways. Forever worth recommending.

  • Microsoft Please Fix
  • Yeah, real developers do git clean -dxf.

  • What is the longest you've been awake without sleep? When and why did you do it?
  • 56 hours was my longest stint. Was in late high school and just had back to back to back events non-stop including a 24h film festival planning production and submission after a day of classes followed by a big blowout senior party by which point it was just a challenge to see how far to take it. Was a pretty fun roller coaster all told. Plenty of 30-36 hour days since then too, but it’s getting more difficult to go past 24h as I age.

  • Carrots sold at Trader Joe's and Wegmans recalled due to possible E. coli contamination
  • As much as it sucks to read about weekly these days, it’s going to suck so much more when these stop getting reported and people just go back to being sick and dying for no reason.

  • I just WON'T
  • Fucking with your credit by sending magic spells instead of payment is absolutely something you should do, sovcit.
  • It sucks because when they respond like this, they just give more fire to the flame of these idiots who think that by acknowledging the receipt of ‘coupons’ or other magic spells, that somehow it’s valid but willfully rejected and that they have standing on principle, legally speaking. It’s lose-lose for the people who have to deal with them even though the business will have ample evidence to go after the money in court later. I just hate that regular people have to waste time with this.

  • Key Promoter X for NeoVim?

    I have been using a plugin recently in Rider that basically hooks most features of the app to notifications that teach me the current keyboard shortcut for said feature. It has some customization options such as needing a threshold of usages before prompting, reminders, etc. It’s even gamified a little bit by tracking how many times you successfully used the shortcuts and how much time you estimatedly saved.

    I really like this plugin and I’m wondering if anyone knows of a similar plugin for NeoVim? I have been exclusively using NeoVim at home for terminal file edits to help learn it and I’m getting better slowly but I just figured maybe I could accelerate this with something helpful like that.

    If this doesn’t exist, does anyone have any offhand resources for getting started with NeoVim plugin development?
