There is a setting now (in all types of client I think) to log out when you close down the browser. Your comment makes me realize that I probably want to NOT set that on at least one machine. I set that on the machines that are out and about.

Sarcophagus and grave goods of Crepereia Tryphaena

During the excavations carried out in 1889 for the construction of the Palace of Justice, the side-by-side sarcophagi of a man and a young woman were brought to light at great depth, identified by the funerary inscriptions as Crepereius Euhodus and Crepereia Tryphaena .
The discovery caused a huge stir at the time, since the young girl’s sarcophagus, still intact, contained, in addition to the girl’s mortal remains, also her funerary objects, consisting of gold jewels and precious stones, an amber distaff and by a very refined ivory doll with articulated limbs accompanied by small toiletries. The precious kit can be dated around the middle of the 2nd century AD. C. and attests to the wealth achieved by the Crepereii family , rich freedmen probably employed in the service of the imperial house, since the place where the tombs were found has been included in the imperial state property since the time of Nero.

For the server I’ve used gogs for many years. It was easy to set up and has a web interface. What client you use is really up to you with git.

It worked great for Rome for a long time, but yeah.

you mentioned you’ve used joplin. All my notes are in markdown and I’ve been using Obsidian instead. Obsidian includes support for mermaid and can render (relatively simple) flowcharts.

it might even be ridiculously simple given that ads almost 100% of the time have louder audio than the content by design.

and so, spent money to travel and presumably stay someplace and eat food which actually might be a net gain to the economy given (we assume) the days off work were PTO time that would have been taken anyway?

How much to just torture him for awhile?

I’m not sure about the current state of the science but there were a bunch of studies that showed that first contact with Europeans had transmitted smallpox as early as 1520 which over the next couple hundred years wiped out maybe 50% or more of the native population in advance of colonization such that later arriving Europeans had the mistaken impression that the continent had always been largely empty when some estimates put the native population pre-colonization at 120 million or more.

I’m upvoting you because I know what you’re trying to say. Personally I don’t have a lot of time to game anymore but I vote with my wallet and I try to only buy games on steam that are linux native. I have found a lot of great indy games this way and I don’t feel like I’m “missing out”. Still, I get it.

oh this one is going to be so pissed when they find out they also re-mapped the keyboard shortcut /s

Not saying it didn’t happen and its certainly “on brand” for this creep but right now we should all be just a little suspicious of stuff like this. AI fakery is getting very good and I’m not sure we have the tools in place to identify it. I’m fairly sure it will be employed this year like never before probably on both sides and probably “unofficially”.

Yeah! Once you’ve spent all your money traveling you can just sell your… oh wait.

He’s literally one of the people making home ownership unaffordable.

Yeah because its just Chromium which isn’t an awful open source browser developed and maintained by Google.

don’t forget that NOT doing something can also be aid and comfort, when you for example actively DO NOT send federal troops to put down an obviously active attack on the government (which included violence against federal police) or by NOT immediately calling for those actions to cease.
