I have a better backup system in place for my factorio saves. Script syncs the live copy to several places on the network along with compressing a timestamped copy to an external HDD which stores a bunch of copies. Then manually I might trim them down every few years or so as I don’t really need 3 different copies from March 2024 still.

Pretty sure not telling the nazi is still a lie. But an example of when it is ethical to lie.

Pretty sure I am having microsleeps by Monday afternoon

I normally see the cardboard covered in some kind of mulch to hold it down. Hopefully once my compost bin has started to be productive I will be able to use that at least which should help a bit.

If that happens I will be so excited that I will stand as a tripod waiting for the results.

Don’t have a lawnmower, but usually just below the surface layer of leaves they are already like confetti.

Previous owner used tarps and the weeds grew through. Plastic strands of tarps are all over my plot because of it and where the edges were fraying a lot.

That doesn’t seem to stop corporations assuming their software is still theirs even when an LLM wrote a lot of it.

Suppose it depends on how it comes, but wouldn’t it be pretty bulky to carry if you wanted to cover a large area?

Would dead leaves be any good? Could just take loads of those from the floor around trees in parks and fill the bags on my bike. About 70L between them. Still think it would take a while to cover an allotment though.

Also got a compost bin but while nearly full it’s going to be a while to rot down.

I think chip drop can be massive volumes though. I don’t have enough space for a huge drop. My allotment is off the path and the site would require someone being there to take the delivery to unlock the gate. Both make chipdrop impractical from what I can tell where they want a place that is available to dump any amount at any time.

Recently got an allotment. No dig or not seems to be a fairly big one right now. It sounds nice but I don’t have the same Amazon addiction as some people so I don’t have 100m² of cardboard that I can lay across the plot.

Buying a shitload of cardboard and mulch isn’t an expense I am interested in right now. Over time I do want to move towards more perennial and larger plants so there won’t be much digging required anyway other than when replacing something. Or tubers/bulbs that you have to dig to harvest and plant anyway.

Why would I reuse a personal password at work? My personal passwords are for important things like shitposting accounts.

Ehh, if I am being forced it’s because it’s for work. So it’s only work passwords. Seems more like their problem. I would suggest or ask to change, if refused it’s on them.

I have had a pinephone for half a decade. Should update the postmarketOS install on it really.

UK monthly is probably the most common but I have been paid weekly or fortnightly before.

Not the guy you replied to but I would have said about the same.

My answer is to not have many friends, most of them are my partner’s friends and when we visit them I sit with their pets.

30 mile commute? Fuck that! I hope you are hybrid at least

UK, only concern was how will I get home. Could walk but it’s 3AM and cold, do I still need cash for a taxi?

I spent hours improving a website to the point first page load was under 100kB from previously multiple MB. Don’t think anyone will care about or appreciate my work.

I hope somewhere there was someone on a low end device and they experienced a short load time. But it is near certain that I spent more time optimising it than will ever be saved on loading times for a small business site.

Working in support I get to do both.

Left: Investigating a customer issue and find a bug but its not the cause of the customers problem

Right: Investigating a customer issue and find a bug that I can blame for this ticket

I am British, I know most shops sell pans that will need to be replaced within a few years at most and can’t survive being touched by a metal spoon. But Le Creuset is French, there used to be a British manufacturer of non enamelled pans but they went out of business, not sure who else there is but haven’t had a reason to look since as I don’t really need any more pans right now.

Maybe a small to medium size pan could be nice to get, got a large, extra large and very tiny one.
