Is anyone here an optometrist? I got a new prescription earlier this year, but I haven't gotten new glasses because I feel like the change in my R-Cylinder is quite a bit and I don't know enough to know if this kind of "positive" change is normal or if it seems strange where I should get my prescription re-checked just to ensure it's actually correct.
I do want to get new glasses because I feel like I can't see as well with my 2025 prescription, but I just want to ensure this seems like a normal/reasonable change and not an error because I don't want to invest time and money in expensive progressive lenses if it's wrong (I know you can return them, but want to avoid that if something actually seems off with this prescription from the start).
@Alice this is of no use but... You have an eye test result spreadsheet? I need to up my game!
And good luck with seeing the stuff.
The Python Package Index now rejects new files published to releases older than 14 days. This mitigation prevents long-stable releases from being poisoned in case publishing tokens or workflows of PyPI projects are compromised.

Our water well project has now reached a more challenging stage. The team has encountered large stones underground, including one so heavy that it took four people working together to turn the pulley and remove it.
Today marks Day 5 since the project began. We are deeply grateful to everyone standing with us. Your support is making a real difference and helping this work move forward on the ground.
We continue to welcome and appreciate every contribution to our fundraiser as we get closer to securing a reliable water source for our regenerative farm and gardens. Thank you for being part of this journey.

#AnalogieFoireuse à propos de l'interdiction des "réseaux" sociaux aux -15 ans:
Faisons une analogie: Il y a un tuyau qui répand de la merde et des polluants dans une rivière. On interdit aux ados de s'y baigner, pour leur propre bien.
La vraie solution, c'est pas d'interdire aux ados d'y aller, C'EST DE FAIRE FERMER CE TUYAU DE MERDE.
@sebsauvage j'aime bien cette analogie.
If your soldering technique includes holding your breath and leaning sideways, we have a project for you.
That wispy smoke coming off your iron is vaporized rosin flux, which irritates your eyes and lungs and isn't something you want to be breathing for years. Our DIY fume extractor pulls it into an activated carbon filter instead, and it's built from a cardboard box, a spare 12V computer fan, a few zip ties, a switch, and a 9V battery.

@noodlemaz what's it about? And any idea which streaming service has it ?
@quixoticgeek uh think we watched Schitt's Creek on Netflix (we don't use streaming services now).
It's about... People? It's not really set in this reality - it's not scifi or anything, it's just people in a town. But there is absolutely no flavour of queerphobia to the world. That sets it apart somewhat. It's mostly a comedy.
I bought a Netgear Nighthawk 5G M7 Portable WiFi Hotspot for $500 on Amazon. While in Europe, I discovered that it didn't work right. By the time I got back to the US, the window to return it was closed. Netgear refused to process a return as well. So now I've got a $500 paperweight.
@MikeElgan I prefer ASUS routers.
@annaleen @charliejane good night have some mandu and kimchi (Bluesky won’t let me upload)
@charlesatan @charliejane mmm looks tasty

@quixoticgeek I once read a headline about North Korea wanting nuclear weapons only for my brain to substitute "Nordkorea" (Danish for North Korea) with "Nordea" (Scandinavian bank). I spent more time than I want to admit wondering what use bankers would have for nukes...
how on earth does openssh not only have incredibly fucked versioning but is the only package i've ever seen to mention a "privilege separation" chroot path which actively breaks non-root builds. are you fucking kidding me bruh. "privilege separation chroot" defaulting to /var/empty and it immediately errors if it can't create it????? why are your version strings like that bruh?????
ok so they decided to reinvent sudo for sshd root https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/blob/master/README.privsep if i cannot disable the sshd build (reading ./configure --help in a crazed demented rage did not see the flag for it) i'm going to commit several murders
@sebsauvage OK OK mais j'ai une question : pourquoi on a des bannières sur des sites gouvernementaux ?
Question réthorique bien sûr
@ScriptFanix @sebsauvage parce que des chefs de projets en cravate qui pigent rien au numérique et autres growth manager qui n'ont jamais rien fait d'une métrique d'analytics ont décidé ainsi.
It's hard to remember how shocking and unprecedented the arrest of Augusto Pinochet in London in 1998 was. A Spanish magistrate charged Pinochet for human rights violations, and the UK government arrested and extradited him. Pinochet was responsible for 2,279 extrajudicial deaths and 30K torture incidents.

@evan
It's worth bearing in mind that the UK and Pinochet had been best buddies during the Falklands war, and he was never actually extradited. Monstrous dictators with powerful friends rarely see justice.
The £35 AliExpress smoke machine has produced smoke twice, and continues to produce smoke without being on fire.
It may not last long, as compromises must have been made somewhere, but so far, so good.
@neil So you're all set for making that '80s music video, then?
On the search for a TV series or film to watch that:
A) doesn't have any weapons
B) isn't a romance
C) isn't a horror
D) will leave me feeling joyful and happy.
Seems very hard to find such a thing.
@quixoticgeek @SRLevine I have four recommendations off the top of my head 😀📽️❤️
TV shows (mostly older)
• W1A (Hilarious, barely competent people at the BBC)
• Slings & Arrows (Funny, serious take on creativity, a Shakespeare festival, and more)
Movies
• Local Hero (1983, American oil exec tries to buy Scottish town)
• The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994, A profoundly joyful trek with gay and trans characters
