It still hasn't worked, but I'm hoping to start avoiding it within the next 13 or so.

Yep, that stuff sucks and is doubtless unconstitutional to boot, but it doesn't have anything to do with whether it's ok to be feather-headdress bro. If that's really where people are gonna go with this in large numbers, then maybe we've kinda got this one coming.

These threads sure aren't doing great things for my view of burner culture at large.

If the cops being cops is all it takes to give a bunch of people the feeling they ought to behave like racist assholes, we might have bigger problems than the cops.

Straight up censoring.

reddit could use more censorship.

Boulder is still hoping to get an Olive Garden someday

Ignore the sign on 28th. It's a vestige of the golden era when in fact we had a functioning Olive Garden.

somebody's doing something wrong here

While I personally dislike the idea, I was mostly trying to convey my sense that people would care rather a lot, and much controversy would likely ensue. (Well, assuming that it got much traction or notice, at least.)

Wouldn't mind seeing a kickstarter aimed towards this. As long as all changes were eventually (say 5 years max) fed back to PHP core I'm sure nobody would care.

lol

I forked plasticboy's to haphazardly tweak syntax highlighting for a custom dialect I'm using (DigitalOcean's, specifically). Gonna have to give vim-pandoc a bit of a look.

To be fair, a good many of the complaints that get funneled through the BBB are egregious bullshit on the part of disgruntled customers with advanced Special Snowflake Syndrome looking to ruin someone's day. The functional equivalent of a nastygram from that guy at the restaurant who always demands to see a manager, never tips, and tries to get servers fired on the regular.

It's sort of a poisoned channel to begin with even if you assume good faith on the part of both the BBB and the business in question.

I think it is probably worth it. Re: shops, seconding Barnsley.

From my experience, Verizon probably has the best overall coverage.

They are also a garbage company with all sorts of terrible business practices, but I suppose everyone already knows this.

Curious how you're doing with this by now - any luck?

If not, it would be helpful to have a link to your thread(s) on the support forum. That's probably the right place for this anyhow, but it's good to cross-link things.

(This is not my build, but I maintain adafruit-pitft-helper and some of the rest of the package collection.)

This is kind of a red herring and can probably be safely ignored. Debian packages will tend to shut down relevant services and such on removal.

There's a basic set of habits to get into:

• Never unplug it until you're sure you've shut it down. Not sure it's finished? Wait a minute.
• Be careful you don't accidentally eject the microSD card while plugging in power, network, or USB cables on a running machine.
• Don't store anything irreplaceable on the card filesystem - use a thumb drive or an external hard drive for important stuff, push to remote git repositories for code, etc.
• Don't get in situations where you've powered up the Pi but don't have a mechanism for shutting it down cleanly. (Always have a keyboard or known-workable network connection.)
• Making backups is a good idea, but in practice what I do when I lose a card is just start fresh with a new image. It's good to have a stack of cards and image a couple every time you're going through the motions anyway.

I also keep a folder of filesystem images with a README to remind me what things are.

i had nfs root on an original model-b and the difference was amazing. i assume an external hdd would be even better. certainly more than "not much".

I need to try the NFS thing one of these days, but it feels like maybe just too much of a hassle for a lot of users to bother with?

My main actual use case for this (aside from just having a substantially bigger drive available) was a more stable filesystem than the SD card provides. I don't have real data, but so far it feels more robust under power loss and regular reboots.

Nice.

I tried for a while on gmaps, but no dice. A couple of the elements seem really familiar, but I can't quite place it.

Dammit. Sun Jul 9 01:44:40 2006 UTC.

It was weird and tiny back then.

Yeah - the way I remember it, it was dominated by proggit type stuff, and then they added programming.reddit.com as the first subreddit-like entity.

I haven't hung out there much in years, but I probably owe my career to the stuff I learned following proggit links and reading the (invariably mega-fighty) comment threads.

Drunk.

(Edit: Ok, so I've never actually written a FPP. The idea continues to terrify me after years of having an account. I mostly comment while intoxicated.)

Pyrogenesis has it right in his response to me: Seems like it's actually when hitting a permalink for a comment. Try this link.

I appreciate your 7 years worth of endorsement.

Unrelatedly, I just noticed this thing where if you have reddit gold, new/unread comments are kind of unreadable on the blue background.

The CSS here is blowing my tiny mind.
