@guizzy The last time I tried Fanta, it was also non-carbonated. Not much of a substitute for Coca-Cola. @lain

I'm surprised they had to do a survey to find out that debt is the number one obstacle people face in hitting their financial targets. They should get out and talk to real people once in a while.

@amic For some kinds of focusing, your eye doctor can answer your question.

Reading sites for things like #IPFS and #Beaker / #DAT and #MaidSafe / #SAFENetwork, some things are never stated.
If someone were to set up a #RasPi to be a node on one of these types of #peer-to-peer networks, would they need to set up NAT passthrough, or do their protocols already include something like STUN / TURN?
Mostly an academic question, as I’m not willing to potentially open up access to my home network.

@xj9 Ah. #UPNP is always one of the first things I disable when setting up a router, so that explains why it was not something I thought about. Thanks.

!fnetworks There’s an hour or so of planned electrical maintenance at our hoster’s site “tomorrow noon CET” ... I think that’s sometime today US time.
Not sure whether this will lead to (still more) network downtime, but I’m letting you know about the possibility now.

Drinking full-caffeine coffee as part of my #YoCo the past few days. It seems to have more pass-through than my normal half-caff.

I’ve completely ignored the talk about #Google #Stadia and such, because I’m not a gamer. But when #lazyNephew grumbles about lag and slowness (the connection here is 50Mbps down and 50Mbps up) in his current gameplay, I imagine that those whose connections are slower than this are having even worse experiences. Therefore, I think a streaming-only game solution is doomed to be unusable in most of the US.
Maybe they can bring back the local pay-to-play shops where Internet speeds were higher than normal, so that gamers can satisfy their online multiplayer needs. Otherwise, the best online multiplayer experiences will have to come from reviving peer-based LAN parties.

@amic What about stuff on shelves?

.
When I was in high school, my friends were mostly Beatles fans. They used to chase me around the campus, singing this song I disliked. Years later, when #sonTwo and #Daddy_A were in middle school, a friend would buy Beatles cassettes to give to the older of the two. Even then, I said I am the walrus would not be allowed.

Ad: “Over-55 Singles in [my town’s name]”
Hmm. I don’t go to AARP or arthritis / constipation / geriatric medicine sites, so I think they’re just shooting in a dark room as far as age goes.
Maybe I’ll have to keep the #VPN engaged, even from $HOME, to deflect the other part.

@mangeurdenuage Most of my web browsers have ad blockers, script blockers, and all sorts of bad site blockers. But this happened on a tablet device.

Just looked at my old WordPress blog. I think nearly everything I wrote there is past its useful lifetime.

I did play just a little bit of #Galaga today. I’m terrible at it, but I am getting slightly better. (I used to be better. The older two kids still play Galaga, remembering the times we played it in arcades.)

So apparently, someone tooted during #MSNBC’s interview with a senator. So now #fartgate is trending on #Twitter. Was it Senator Eric Swalwell? Or maybe host Chris Matthews?
Maybe there are more important things going on in Washington, but dang it, this is important too! The one who smelt it dealt it!

I never saw dark side of the moon or age of extinction, but Bumblebee was the first of the Transformers that felt like a Transformers movie to me and not some money that happens to have Transformers. Still a little mushy, and the whole dive scene at the end is contrived but good stuff, finally

@musicman I sent my granddaughter #GD2 that movie. I heard that she and her older sister liked it.
-
Wrote a book on #Wire, so that @amic would be caught up on all that's happening.
-
@rw Who what what what?
-
@dude I won't give you advice. I personally just don't touch electrical ... better to get someone that knows what they're doing than for me to do a halfway job and potential hurt myself in the process.
This probably doesn't work for others, but it is perfect for me.

I saw a helicopter carrying what appeared to be utility poles to a hilltop. I tried to get a picture, but distance and motion made a blurry mess.

The #SoCal city of Barstow: a 13 year old student was arrested after threatening to shoot up his high school in an Instagram post. A search determined that he did not have any access to weapons.
