Hells bells, but we've been enjoying those for the past 3 weeks and they're still coming in! If you put them in the fridge and wait 2 or so days, they get even sweeter! Fridge is required because they'd get moldy otherwise.
Extremely late night notice for Central Time US, but I just viewed a latter day "Dragnet" episode on the TV where Harry Morgan's character, Bill Gannon, provided a bit of comic relief--he presented a sandwich with a lot of ingredients in it, whereupon Friday commented that it sounded like a 7 course meal. Then I used #Google to list those ingredients to check against a list I scribbled on a scrap of paper.
And Google's #AI fucked up even that simple task. It inserted the word "mayo" when the script called for "horseradish". Gemini hasn't learned that horseradish sauce, although it contains mayo, is NOT mayo.
It's still an awesome Gannon-style Dagwood, though: corned beef, imported Swiss cheese, lettuce, russian dressing, slaw, kosher pickle, tomato, HORSERADISH, and peanut butter. I'm sure Arby's Horsey Sauce is a good substitute, but do NOT use mayo. #recipe #sandwich
Ruby Roundhouse had The Jewel and was betting on getting snake-bit to get a new life but instead of dropping down on the statue's head she found herself in the same snake pit she tried to get out of, thus still having to take the long way up. #Jumanji #KarenGillan #AmyPond
Elliot was introduced to Stitch's family whereupon he and ET could hitch a ride and ET managed to get back home while taking a side trip to Ork to say hello to Orson.
Once they discovered that they worked well together and were smarter than their average species members, they decided that they themselves were the team of superheroes that could save the world, but they didn't need any Fortress of Solitude. #Flow
Well that was an eye-opener. Theoretically, Friendica federates with Diaspora but when I shared a Diaspora post on My Portal, it did NOT show up in the Rogue's Project feed and they're both Friendica. It was a post by Kuram Wadee which boosted Dianea's Diaspora post, which contained this image:
It always amazes me when I watch people vehemently oppose a post they disagree with. Even when they do not know the poster or anyone on the post. I do not think they truly understand what they are doing. They are making that post they disagree with more popular and ensuring (or at least contributing to the assurance) that it will have a wider propagation across the Fedi.
Priority of what gets most rapidly spread across the Fedi is governed by several metrics and it is not standardized between the different Instance types either. Though one critical metric will always speed a post across the Fedi and that is reactions. The more reactions a post has the quicker it will propagate. It does not matter if that is positive or negative reactions. It only matters that post got attention. Make no mistake, a comment is considered a reaction. Even if you do not click a Thumbs up or Thumbs down you are reacting by commenting.
So if you are tired of seeing posts you find ridiculous maybe you should start ignoring them instead of boosting them by reacting to them.
@Unus Nemo I'm sorry. Another good tip is, if drunk as a pirate boat for any reason. Do not approach social media, play chess instead. Just play don't chat.
I have began deleting accounts that have had no activity for 3 month. In some cases less if it appears the account was established for the purpose of spamming (marketing) the Instance. I have set a cap to the max users before registration closes. To be sure that the Instance stays viable within my budget. As I have stated before if the Instance appears to be able to handle more users than the current cap I will raise the ceiling.
I do not expect that a user has to post everyday or even weekly to be considered active. Though I have to draw the limit somewhere. I decided that a quarter of a year of inactivity was a pretty fair limit. If you are going to be offline for an extended period of time and not sure that you will be able to login then let me know and I will make sure to preserve your account.
@Beeker Just trying to figure out, the ping was similar therefore the notification I guess before it is processed to show. --- mstdn.ca ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 4018ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.054/0.075/0.111/0.019 ms --- friendica.rogueproject.org ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 4045ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.056/0.087/0.123/0.026 ms
A ping is rather useless in measuring propagation on the Fedi. As propagation is determined by which Instances can see each other. This ranges greatly from Instance to Instance. If no one on this instance knows or communicates with anyone on another Instance and both Instances are not on a common relay. Then they may never see each other directly.
This is a plus and a minus. This way the Instance is not bombarded by messages that no one on the Instance is associated with. Though you do not get propagation to these Instances either.
This type of networking can not be measured by a simple ping. It can tell you what Instance you are closest to in the terms of latency. Though it can not tell you how fast information will propagate between the two Instances.
I don't know what either of you are talking about, but it has prompted me to update my notification settings. I'm glad there are other people here, as I haven't gotten anyone I know to join here yet, but this conversation may be better done without me.
Seriously--that flying saucer gets parked in an unstable top-heavy manner with only two support legs with built in stairs. If that dust had been whipped up by some kind of wind, that saucer craft would have been blown over like a sombrero. ------- I spotted a 3rd leg in a later frame so I'm wondering if that was added as an afterthought. I did count 'em while looking for a 3rd leg earlier.
Ah, a moment of levity (literally) when a crew member got hauled off by the seat of his pants. I went to look for what actor that was because I recognized the face, but I can't find a list of the cast that uses photos taken from the movie and I'm afraid I just don't recognize him as an old man.
Lemme guess--that energy monster was just something somebody dreamed up. ---- ...and right after I typed that up, a dying man mentioned "monsters from the id" so we have Freud coming in to haunt the place. Okay, it's time to mention what life was like in the 1950s that was an era of humanity trying to get past Sigmund Freud or making arguments to stick with him--and you'll find wide manifestations of this in both TV and movies produced in the 1950s; Alfred Hitchcock and Rod Serling both made their fortunes based on Freudian theories and rebuttals. "We're all monsters in our subconscious and that's why we have laws and religion!" Those words should be immortalized.
Ah. Blown to Krell and back. The End. ...and then I found out that an infamous Governor of Alabama was playing a bit part in that movie. Well, I did know that he was listed as cast member when I went looking for Earl Holliman, but DAMN I sure didn't recognize him...but then again, my memory of him was of a fat bigoted bastard. You got to see him in the opening minutes of the movie, getting talked to by Nielson. Fancy that.

I do not used any server based AI at all. If the LLM does not run locally on my machine on ComfyUI, LLama.cpp or Ollama then I do not need it.
note: I do not use the term cloud as that is a marketing term not an IT term and I am a developer not a marketer.
