@caseyliss Use it with an eSIM while traveling overseas. It would probably be faster as a hotspot for your Mac than connecting back to a home server.
@johnvoorhees I think I’m missing your point. Why would having a local exit node be any better than just… not using it, and using the hotspot “raw”?
I will say this tho - whenever bankers and rich people do this, say to you "it's my way or I will crash the economy" you should snap take their bet.
You're not a billionaire, you do NOT depend on the money moving constantly. They will never tell you this but the rich people who own the banks are in fact more invested in "the economy" than you are. That's a bet you will win.
But in places where this happens, we rarely take that bet. We usually let the money guys scare us into obeying.
@AnarchoNinaWrites Agreed, oligarchs’ economy is just the stock market and their own hoarded assets. Go ahead and crash it, fellas, send it tumbling down below my little credit union account.
Oh right The Vampire Lestat is coming out really soon, I'm looking forward to that.
My entire platform for president is to make it a felony to put a USB-C connector on a device that can only charge from a USB-A power supply.

"I'm so old I remember when USB was promised to solve all our connector problems..."

Has anyone here made custom trading cards? I am looking for a good place to get some printed.
A couple go to Python debugging aids of mine, first is breaking into the debugger.
import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
The second is:
```
def printtb(fun):
import functools
@functools.wraps(fun)
def wrapper(*a, **kwa):
try:
return fun(*a, *kwa)
except:
import traceback; traceback.print_exc()
raise
return wrapper
```
Then any functions that is throwing an exception that I can't easily wrap elsewhere (or have no clue where it's being called from), I just throw this wrapper around it and I get the traceback I need.
@encthenet check out python -m pdb -c continue ./something.py or pdb.post_mortem :)
My neighborhood cat stops in for a snooze.

I participated in #Mastodon #DiscoveryWeek today. It was great! 👍🏼
If you haven't signed up for a session, I highly recommend it. It's professional, participative and friendly. I was glad to be there; I felt like it mattered.

@thomasfuchs @foone That makes so much more sense than my guess of Flash.

Communities all over the world going full #Solarpunk is starting to looking less like an aspirational dream and more like a bare necessity. Good in a way, but also…my god, what is even happening?!
today in "huh, they built it with THAT?"
Asus ProArt ChromaTune. It's a little app that sits in your windows tray and can switch between your monitor's color palettes. You can either do it manually, or you can tell it to automatically switch when you run certain programs, so you can do things like "always use sRGB mode when I'm in photoshop".
Wanna guess how they built this?
@foone I hope it’s Silverlight

@farah woof!
faith in humanity restored
BREAKING: Signal, the #1 privacy protecting messaging app many of us rely on, is saying they will pull out of 🇨🇦 ENTIRELY if they're scoped into #BillC22 without large changes.
This should be our final alarm bell: we can have digital privacy or we can have legislation this broad and broken, not both!
How are you today?
@Sheril hanging on for dear life! :)
