I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any…

I love that places like this still exist. They’ve been in this location for decades.

In a world of rapid product replacement/upgrade cycles, AI, and mass production, this person just fixes your broken shoes.

They did me right with mine. It felt good to fix instead of replace with something new.

Off topic, but really nice photo by the way. Reminds me a bit of a Hopper painting.

@cimm thank you. I’ve walked/driven past this store a million times. On this particular night, I noticed how quaint and cute it looked. It never really looked like that before. Or, I hadn’t noticed. Anyway, I felt compelled to snap the shot because it caught my eye.

A close-up shot depicts a light-colored dog curled up and mostly covered by a blue blanket with a pattern of white paw prints and reindeer. The dog is resting on a soft, gray surface, likely a couch or bed, and is surrounded by several white pillows. The dog's face is partially visible, with its eyes closed and nose peeking out from under the blanket. The blanket appears to be soft and plush, with a textured surface. In the blurry background, a glimpse of a decorated Christmas tree can be seen.

@hnygd hi hi hi I have news

I have a working implementation of Chatmail on FreeBSD now.

github.com/feld/chatmail-cookb…

I wonder if @stefano would be interested in hosting one on the BSD.cafe infra?

Note: it adds a custom package repo to fetch a couple things not in the ports tree right now (incl a Dovecot patch I need to see if we can get into the port or as a flavor). It's hosted on my home fiber internet, but it might be slow. I'm going to get it moved somewhere with better bandwidth soon.

edit: also the FreeBSD 14 package set is still building... 15 is ready though

The joys of DIY.

Bought a new Fan/light controller for Nicole’s office. Because Hue bulbs are ass.

Get the old Lutron pulled out, breaker turned off.

Oh no Neutral in that box… Because 1910 house, un-licensed renovations by idiots.

On top of that the fuse for her office, is only for part. Glad I recognize the tingle of a live wire so well by now.

Switch back to Amazon. On list for when electrician is out to see if they can run a neutral. In the meantime she’s stuck with HUE.

This is a true & effectively irrefutable argument ... which is why it's so fun to read the absolute cosmic nonsense in the comments. "I need to go higher than the speed limit when I'm passing/avoiding something/driving in snow/feel like it!"

These are arguments for breaking the law that would be widely recognized as psychotic if offered in any other context. But when we're drivers, we just feel entitled. I *wanna* go fast, so fuck you, fuck safety, fuck society. Cars make us terrible people.
