Running joplin server in docker with an nginx reverse proxy. Android and windows clients sync fine. IOS doesn't, but I gather that this is due to IOS not allowing insecure connections (too lazy to set up SSL), not anything the app is doing. Just installed on my KDE Neon machine and set up the sync. For some reason it is only doing a partial sync. None of my notebooks are coming through, and only the few most recently touched files show under the default all notes notebook. I got the same results on the snap and flatpak versions. I do encrypt my notes, and the few that are syncing correctly are all decrypting properly. The delete local data and re-download option yielded the same results. I've confirmed that the notes and notebooks are still on the server correctly by syncing my working devices. I can create a new issue in github if needed, just wanted to see if this is a known bug first.

UPDATE: to ensure the integrity of my database information, I used the re-upload local data to sync target option from my up to date windows machine. This attempt threw http error 413: payload too large. Adding the following line to my nginx.conf file (in the server block) fixed the issue. I went with 20 megabytes, you may wish to adjust this if you put large attachments in your notes. I believe the default is 1 megabyte.

Cards on the table: for Google money I'd do it too. If they want to enshittify their product until the competition has a fighting chance, who am I to stop them? Sure, it's an annoying and anticonsumer thing to do. But making a "free" product's bad qualities harder to circumvent isn't the ethical hill I'm going to die on.

RIP to the best yum-yum sauce recipe I have found, https://japanese-steakhouse-white-sauce.com/home/ (working wayback machine link). In its honor I'm posting the recipe here, along with my family's modifications.

OG recipe:

  • Mayonnaise (Hellman's), 1-1/4 cup
  • Water, 1/4 cup
  • Tomato paste, 1 teaspoon
  • Melted butter, 1 tablespoon
  • Garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon
  • Sugar, 1 teaspoon
  • Paprika, 1/4 teaspoon
  • Cayenne pepper, dash

You can just mix everything together in this version, no particular order. The author stresses that it won't taste right if you use a different brand of mayo. He says it makes it taste too strongly of mayo. He particularly cautions the use of low fat or reduced calorie mayo, and the substitution of ketchup for the tomato paste. Once mixed the sauce should be refrigerated immediately and allowed to chill overnight for best results. Best within 7-10 days.

OG "from scratch":

  • Soybean oil, 3/4 cup
  • Egg, 1
  • Dry mustard powder, 1/2 teaspoon
  • Salt, 1/2 teaspoon
  • Sugar, 2 teaspoon
  • Cayenne pepper, dash
  • White vinegar, 1-1/2 tablespoons
  • Cayenne pepper, dash (duplicate line is reflective of his recipe. It's unclear if this is a typo or he adds it twice in different stages, although the written instructions don't indicate that.)
  • Tomato paste, 1-1/2 teaspoons
  • Melted butter, 1 tablespoon
  • Garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon
  • Paprika, 1/4 teaspoon
  • Water, 1/4 cup

Copypasta instructions: 

Set up blender. Put 1/4 cup (only) of the oil along with the egg, vinegar, mustard powder, salt, cayenne and 1 teaspoon of the sugar in the blender and place the lid on the blender. Turn it on and let everything mix well for about 5-10 seconds. Turn off the blender.

Open the pouring hole in the blender lid or take off the small removable center piece. Turn the blender back on, and very slowly drizzle the remaining 1/2 cup oil through the hole into the mixture while it is blending. It should take 30 seconds or so – if not, you are pouring too fast!

*** If you add the oil too fast, it will not emulsify (come together) properly, and will not be the consistency of mayo – it will be more like white oil and you will need to throw it away! ***

Once the mixture has emulsified, turn off the blender. Empty the contents into a mixing bowl. Using a fork or a whisk, mix in the remaining 1 teaspoon sugar along with the tomato paste, melted butter, garlic powder and paprika. Mix throughly until the sauce is smooth. If it is too thick, add some of the water (up to 1/4 cup) to get it to the desired consistency. Refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to blend. Bring to room temperature before serving.

And finally, my family's take! Our changes deepen the flavor a bit and increase the kick. Note that this recipe is based on a double portion. YMMV trying to make more or less, I've found that the proportions don't always scale properly. We typically use Duke's mayo, just because it's what we keep in the fridge. I suggest starting with 2 cups of mayo and the water, mixing, and slowly adding mayo until you reach your preferred consistency. We tend to make it pretty thick because we mix it into white rice.

  • mayo, 2 - 2.5 cups
  • water, 1/2 cup
  • tomato paste, 3 tsp
  • melted butter, 2 tbs
  • garlic powder, 1.25 tsp
  • sugar, 2 tsp
  • paprika, 1.5 tsp
  • cayenne, .5 tsp
  • OPTIONAL mirin or rice wine vinegar to taste
    • vinegar adds tang
    • mirin adds smoothness

Title. I tried changing the shortcut to a bunch of weird things to make sure another application didn't happen to be eating the particular combination. All other shortcuts I've tried so far have worked as expected. Running latest version, win 11 x64.

AL resident here - he doesn't get as much direct support as you might think. Most of the state votes straight red without even reading the names, so he only needs enough support/bullying competition to get through the primaries.

White bread. Bland enough to avoid eating aversions and puts some energy in you. Plus, most people already have some! Not claiming it's healthy, but when I'm sick and the thought of eating makes me want to puke it manages to slip past my radar.

You know what the community is called, but because you judge the question to be stupid you're attacking them anyway by just changing the word? People like you are the reason communities like this exist in the first place. You make people afraid to express their curiosity and improve themselves as a person. Everyone has holes in their knowledge, and sometimes those holes are embarrassing. The best way to combat ignorance in our society is to foster a culture where people are encouraged to express their curiosity and educate themselves.

I would characterize the crust as more colony sim than RTS. It's definitely rough around the edges, but it has a strong foundation and I expect it will be a great game when finished.

The crust is my top pick, very promising resource management colony sim

lemmy.studio and sopuli.xyz are not populating for me. Probably soft blocked? Also, it may be worth opening and pinning a megathread for this topic so the community doesn't get spammed.

edit 10/15: sopuli has started working, studio is still not showing

My kit:

  • pocket knife
  • flashlight
  • wallet
  • folding phone stand
  • phone
  • earbuds
  • pen (with a cap, not a clicky)
  • sharpie
  • breath mints
  • 4' multi-end charging cable
  • thumb drive
  • lightning > 3.5mm (aux)
  • USBC > 3.5mm
  • bandaids
  • OTC drugs (Advil, Tylenol, Aleve, Benadryl, lactase (I'm lactose intolerant))

Everything on that list was added because I needed it and didn't have it on multiple occasions. There have been plenty of other things that I would love to carry, but found too bulky to justify.

A note to everyone recommending condoms: they do expire, and can wear through if carried in an environment with friction (wallet, pocket, etc). I prefer to play it safe and make a stop at a drug store should the need arise.

This interpretation leaves out the most important part of the crucifixion story: Jesus willingly took on the world's sins out of love. So whether or not most Christians would say yes depends on if the one person being tortured has a choice in the matter, which is unspecified in the question.

Long time Brave user here! This list of chromium features changed for privacy reasons may ease your fears. One of the founders of Brave, Brendan Eich, was actually CTO of Mozilla (firefox) for a time, as well as the creator of the JavaScript programming language used in web development. One of the large reasons he left to found Brave was that he became disenfranchised with unethical handling of user data. Before the first line of Brave code was written it was dedicated to providing a safe, private user experience.

Honestly? Just keep living your life. It can come as a real shock to discover you are autistic, but you have to remember that you have been your whole life and have made it this far. It will take time to come to terms with - if you need help processing, that's exactly what therapy is for. Many health insurance plans these days cover a few sessions a year. If you're still on your parent's health insurance plan and are worried about asking them, you can just say you're working through some stuff happening at work/school/friends/whatever. Or that a lot of your friends have benefited from it and you want to try it and see.

With time you'll come to accept that this is just part of who you are. It doesn't define you, and it's not a new thing that's going to throw your life off course. In contrast, it will likely actually improve your life over time. Understanding this about yourself will help you see and understand a lot of feelings and behaviors you've been unable to explain in the past. And now that you know about these things, you can seek to improve yourself or set healthy boundaries depending on what's appropriate. It's a journey for sure, and there will be parts that bring new meaning to "ignorance is bliss". But in the long run you will be a better person for it, more comfortable in your own skin.

If you have the budget for it, get an SSD. You will never look back. Even if you never open a game, the difference in pc boot and application load times alone makes it worth it. Not to mention the increased life span, as others have mentioned. If budget is a serious concern, you can consider a fusion drive. Fusion drives have a segment using the same memory cells as SSD for frequently used programs, and a traditional spinning disk HDD section for affordable storage. Especially if you are looking to upgrade to 2+TB, a fusion drive can bridge the financial gap. But my personal recommendation would be to splurge a bit on a full SSD, and get at least 2TB if at all possible. Files sizes get bigger every year, and if you intend this to be your only storage the extra breathing room will be a huge QOL difference.
