I'm using the same soap while traveling, which lends itself to little mini experiments.

Today was "would it work to load a bit of soap for each pass instead of doing one big load"?

The answer is yes. I'm of the opinion that's how people did it in the old days, and that's based solely on my experience using modern Williams Mug Soap... Hardly a good reason to come to this conclusion, but Williams works well with this technique.

"She described working for DeSantis as the "biggest mistake" of her entire career.[14]"

...I wonder how long until she updates that statement.

There's a difference in how active users are counted now, too, so that skews the numbers. An active user used to be a user who posted or commented. Now voting makes a user active.

That isn't an indicator of current inflation. Past inflation, maybe.

People confuse "everything is expensive" with "inflation is currently high". It's an understandable misunderstanding, and part of the reason why Kamala lost.

Travel shave, but I checked a bag so I get the benefit of using a DE.

This Goodfellow lotion is kept in my travel dopp bag, but I love it and plan on buying a second one for use at home. It's a thicker consistency but goes on smooth. Slightly thicker than Stirling Balm, closer to DG Liniment (but not nearly as greasy).

Cool! I can't try it right now and I don't use neovim, but I'll try to remember to give it a shot when I get home next week.

Yelp can't be trusted, anyway. Businesses can pay to remove bad reviews.

Google Maps has plenty of user submitted photos.

The news isn't known for getting details correct. I guess it could have been a tiki torch, or an Olympic torch, though.

I've found the following work-around works pretty well. If you host an instance that's currently on 0.19.0 or 0.19.1, consider implementing this.

There are two bugs that this helps with:

Work-around:
Create cronjobs that restart the Lemmy container every 6 hours (but not at midnight). The following example is used for a Debian system running Lemmy in Docker.

Type crontab -e into the terminal Add something like the following:

~~0 1 * * * docker container restart lemmy-lemmy-1
0 7 * * * docker container restart lemmy-lemmy-1
0 13 * * * docker container restart lemmy-lemmy-1
0 19 * * * docker container restart lemmy-lemmy-1~~

3 1-23/6 * * * docker container restart lemmy-postgres-1 && sleep 60 && docker container restart lemmy-lemmy-1

By restarting the container every 6 hours, outbound federation continues to work. There may still be some delays, but everything gets cleared up regularly.

By telling it what time to restart (0100, 0700, 1300, and 1900 as opposed to "every 6 hours"), it avoids restarting at midnight. This avoids the second bug.

My instance has been doing this for enough days where I'm confident that it's working. You can check your federation status here. Note that it's normal for there to be 0 up-to-date instances and a lot of lagging instances. As long as they sometimes turn "up to date", then everything is getting caught up.
