If you're not getting enough exercise, you could take up social distanced WWE wrestling. That's where you do wrestling moves in your apartment and the other person does wrestling moves in theirs. The toughest part is climbing the ropes and jumping on the other person while still staying six feet (two meters) apart.

#NOAA / #NWS issuing #fire_weather alert (watch) for portions of !SoCal's #San_Bernardino and #Riverside and #San_Diego Counties, as "strong gusty winds and low humidity" are expected in mountains and valleys. Includes some #Low_Desert areas, but no #High_Desert areas. Yucaipa, home to two large fires this Summer, is included in the danger area.
The alert does not cover #Orange or #Los_Angeles counties, but that may be a function of which office issued the bulletin.
If you're in Southern California, please be careful not to do things which could cause another catastrophic fire. There was a town in NorCal (Paradise) that no one had ever heard of until nearly the entire town burned down and many residents were killed in a fire a couple of years ago. We don't want other municipalities to relive their experience.

@geniusmusing They might be N0-Worky
-
@geniusmusing I haven’t worked in a high particulate environment, so I don’t know mask designations. The first time I heard of #N95 was this year, in response to the #coronavirus outbreak.

Looks like #DenyHosts has resumed development. I’ve switched to #Fail2Ban, but I liked DH config file syntax better. https://github.com/denyhosts/denyhosts
It looks like the current git version also works without TCP-Wrappers ... it can directly work with Linux iptables or BSD pf firewalls.

About 9% of US residents have been exposed to #COVID-19. https://nu.federati.net/url/275670 [wwe msn com]

@mangeurdenuage There could be some initial physical cause, but the stress that you and your family members have been under the past year or more could cause physical damage.
My middle son's wife was told by her doctor to quit her job if she wants to live. The doctor said the stress of that job was causing her body to attack itself. So now they have the stress of trying to survive on half the income. ( #sonTwo's two jobs pay just about as much as her one job was paying. )

> > #sonTwo's two jobs pay just about as much as her one job was paying.
> Good ending then.
Not yet. He was already working two jobs and she was working one, so they've lost half their income.

A man went to a car dealership with his three kids to buy a surprise gift for his girlfriend, but instead walked into a shoot out. He covered the kids with his body, and was shot. Due to the injury, both of his employers fired him.
I’m not in NYC, but I want to know the names of these employers, because F*ck them.

#Target had #Fortnite for #PS4, but I couldn’t stand waiting long enough for someone to unlock the cabinet. #Little_Boy_A is going to have to wait a while before I can play with him.

I also shipped a box of stuff for #GS3 and my granddoggies. Including little baseball jerseys ( #Dodgers and #Angels, you have to raise a child right) for the boy and a pair of peanut butter flavored tennis balls for the dogs.

Not "my". Substitute "may".

I had to leave the #Friendica Hackathon chat for lunch and other tasks. Now that there are no English-only speakers active, they've switched to their native Deutsche (German).
I don't understand a word (well, except loanwords and cognates).
So, for instance, they're talking about text strings and the [AP? Diaspora? DFRN?] protocol, and I understand those words, because they are the same as the English words.

@mangeurdenuage There was a DotGnu project that was trying to implement the ECMA standardized parts of C# and the Common Language Runtime (to avoid any patent / copyright claims). I have heard nothing about it in a long time, so I assume it is dormant / dead.
OTOH, now that Microsoft owns the company that develops Mono, many of the lawsuit risks have gone away. I'm still not comfortable enough to use it myself, but most of the *Don't Touch!* reasons are at least partially neutralized.

I haven't even made my reservations yet, but they've already told
#GS3 that grandpa is going to jump out of the tablet screen and visit him in person.

In theory, #kafka getting rid of #zookeeper will be nice, but...how much better will it really be?

According to @simsa03, #Wikimedia Foundation has USD$111M in the bank. https://pleroma.site/objects/f97dbb44-c697-45ad-842f-e31ba2c3c4ce
Yet, #Wikipedia is constantly begging for more. There's only so much donation money available from the general public. By trying to hog it all for themselves, they're reducing the amount that is available to other causes, some of which may be equally or more worthy of support.
-
@musicman I agree about exec pay.
As for side projects, in their new, limited-resource world, every new project takes resources away from #Firefox, #Thunderbird, and #Rust. Sometimes that's worth the cost, sometimes it isn't, but take a look at how many projects they've abandoned (such as their mobile OS).
-
fair point. The side-project vs project distinction is not really important. What is important is whether resources are being used properly and the article makes a convincing point that they have not.
I pretty much use #Firefox 100% these days. Safari and Firefox are all I have installed on the primary machine. As long as I am working from home, work machine is going to be primary machine. I'm not going to mess about with changing monitor cables and I don't have USB-C on my personal laptop.
Although, I got (for free!) a couple of new-to-me laptops I haven't even had a chance to boot up. ugh.
