Nobody said any of that. You seem unhinged.

Oh, somebody else mentioned live herbs. Fresh basil is nice, fresh cilantro on tap is life-changing. As is having a jalapeño plant.

It’s a bit difficult for me at the moment, but I’d really like to refine technique for growing fresh basil & cilantro indoors year round so I’m never without.

Also, rosemary grows wild where I live so I don’t actually have dried rosemary on hand.

Multiple kinds of bouillon or similar (a ham flavor isn’t super common but very useful)

All the usual ones: granulated garlic & onion, dried parsley, oregano, marjoram, thyme, rosemary. Sage too but I’m just learning to use that one outside of recipes which call for it. Bay leaves.

Blends: Frontier brand poultry seasoning. Italian seasoning. Curry powder, I’m embarrassed to say I don’t have a preferred brand yet. Garam masala.

Ground turmeric, ginger, coriander, cumin, mustard.

Paprika, smoked paprika, mild chili powder, chipotle powder, red pepper flakes. Black & white pepper. Chili garlic sauce in the fridge.

Cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, cloves. Vanilla extract.

Cider vinegar, white & red wine vinegar, balsamic.

Frank’s red hot.

Regular Japanese style soy sauce. Chinese & Thai style dark soy sauce. Oyster sauce. Fish sauce. Worcestershire sauce.

Toasted sesame oil.

Since I mentioned oil, a high temp frying oil such as peanut or grapeseed. Refined & virgin coconut oil and butter flavored Crisco for baking.

Edit: how could I forget nutritional yeast… I live with vegans but I’d have plenty of uses for it even if I didn’t.

I think that about covers the waterfront… after HVAC and running water, the biggest thing I am going to miss after civilization collapses is the ability for even lower middle class Western households to have a king’s ransom in seasonings if they are so inclined.

maybe MEGA.io

Ublock + SponsorBlock + the Unhook browser extension to hide everything except subscriptions + one custom Ublock filter to hide the suggested videos after the end which they snuck back in a few weeks ago

Unhook is really great

1 million euros to Gargron, eh.

Our next step is to build more ways for the community to get involved with Mastodon at all levels.

They could start by not ignoring Github issues until a solution is or isn’t silently built with no dialog and the issues closed.

Hopefully this will lead to a major improvement in the dysfunctional dev process, but I’m not holding my breath.

and support the idea that anyone not aligned with their authoritarian values should just “go back to Reddit”

I mean, I’m not a “tankie” and make a point of posting to non-ml communities when there’s a choice of ml and non-ml because I think there’s some toxic moderation going on there, but I also would prefer that shitlibs go back to reddit and stay there 🤷

come and take it

I managed to figure out how to bypass the cert verification in dbconfig-mysql (named on the tin as dbconfig-common) and got my appliance set up!

1. apt install dbconfig-mysql before installing the PhpMyAdmin package

2. In /usr/share/dbconfig-common/internal/dbc-mysql, in both sections where temporary my.cnf is defined, set ssl-verify-server-cert = off right below the port = line.

3. to install PhpMyAdmin, run DEBIAN_PRIORITY=low apt install phpmyadmin and follow the prompts

4. In /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php add the following line directly under $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = $dbserver;:

   $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl'] = true;
   $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl_verify'] = false;
   

This is why I say it can’t be reformed.

But shitlibs from .world wanna argue. Which is kind of a microcosm of why we are where we are in this country.

Thanks, but I really dislike adminer’s UI, although granted I’ve been using a fairly old version.

How about open source pluggable algos which can be optionally marked shareable between users and selected from a list sortable by number of “installs”

So like a user could define an algorithm to select posts, and then mark it shared, and other users could see it in a directory and try it out themselves, and optionally clone and hack on it, release a new version, etc.

As far as how the post selection algos could be defined, I’m thinking of something similar to the boolean query syntax in the Quod Libet music player, but one could also implement a more code-like syntax.

(I’m aware this is a huge ask, but I’ve had this idea for 8 years since my first Mastodon account, and have been too busy being oppressed by life to do anything about it.)

The eight senators were Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, Dick Durbin of Illinois, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, Tim Kaine of Virginia, Angus King of Maine, Jacky Rosen of Nevada, and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, but Levin said many more centrist lawmakers were likely “in on the play.”

On **MSNBC Monday, Shaheen acknowledged that Schumer was “kept informed” of the eight senators’ negotiations with the GOP regarding reopening the government.

[…]

“The coordinated nature of this—none [of the lawmakers who voted yes] are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate [minority] leader to stop it,”

(emphasis added)

The only path to effective opposition in the United States is through the destruction of the Democrat party. It can’t be reformed.

it’s stress-induced capitulation.

Bold of you to take these assholes at their word.

They did this on purpose with malice aforethought to scuttle the fight for even a little consideration for healthcare costs drowning the 99%.

The Democrat party works for the donor class, exactly like their friends in the GOP. It couldn’t be any clearer.

This isn’t 8 deluded idiots standing on idiotic principle.

It’s a carefully stage-managed operation to scuttle the fight for even a few crumbs of healthcare.

Notice how every single one of these motherfuckers is either retiring or not up for re-election any time soon. They even rigged it so Schumer could vote no and take a little of the recent heat off himself.

The rot in the Democrat party goes all the way to the core. There’s no reforming it.
