Izzy thinks it’s too cold and the snow is too deep, even though a few minutes ago she was insisting that we needed to go on a walk. Got her down to the sidewalk, but we have 7 or 8 inches of snow and sleet is still coming down. She ran back up the stairs and stood on the porch shivering. #DogsOfMastodon
@… At least one of those appointments will be Trump appointing himself.
Sound up! I'm trying to teach Izzy, our fearful rescue spaniel, to ring bells when she wants to go out in the back yard, rather than scratch at the door. One training book recommended putting peanut butter on the bell, so I did that this morning. It doesn't seem to be having the desired effect, since Izzy is now barking at the bells. (She did touch them, at least.) #DogsofMastodon

@… there's a flat pack command you have to run in order to give wine permission to create shortcuts. I'm not at my computer right now so I don't remember the exact syntax.

@… Yes, I'm doing that too. Eventually she'll do it too. But I wasn't expecting her to growl and bark at the bells!

Well, the site I complained earlier about blocking me using ad blockers then allowed me to see their site is doing it again. I checked and I actually whitelisted them so it isn't ad blocking. They are running scripts that detect ad blockers. Did I use Chrome? NO, I prefer Vivaldi.
I have zero problems seeing ads. You can show multiple ads without a problem. I have a problem with their invasive scripts grabbing all the data about me and my device.
They block me and it doe…

It probably helps that recently I have been looking at cpio archives in hexdump† (because that is the kind of nerd I am), so I know how archiving basically works under the hood.
For my own custom archive format, I only bothered to implement the absolute bare minimum I need.

For work I have a script that archives a bunch of files from time to time (they are usually around 4.5GiB). After compression with 7-Zip defaults they get reduced to about 515 MiB but since it is a limited VM this takes half an hour. I played with 7z options and got it down to a reasonable size (685MiB) in around 48s, which is great but playing further with other compression options I found a Zstandard combo that got it down to around 800 MiB in only 20 seconds. Much bigger but small enough …

It is the most disgusting thing you can possibly come up with when it comes to emails. Try finding an email that actually has a real attachment. Yeah, every single email already has an attachment. Some companies have absolutely no clue how to build their damn footer properly without completely wrecking the entire email ecosystem.
