Maybe I haven't been going to exciting places...

And as for taking my order before reading the menu, depends how fast you can decypher the translation of whatever app you use :) (assuming a non-Japanese speaker)

I made one for hetzner: https://jason.nabein.me/buttons/hoh-88.png

and one for Runbox email: https://jason.nabein.me/buttons/runbox-88x31.png

Although I should change Hetzner to Netcup now

You know what other sites don't have encrypted DMs?

- Twitter

- Facebook Messenger

- Instagram

- TikTok

- YouTube

- Reddit

- LinkedIn

- Email

and on and on.

Basically ANY major site that doesn't explicitly advertise DMs as E2E (or encrypted alone) can just be assumed to NOT be encrypted. So why complain about Mastodon alone then (again, directed at the hypothetical person).

Beyond that, yes it's a bit of an issue where the admins of an instance can read your DMs. If that's a problem, then you yourself can self-host an instance, or find a friend to do so, and enjoy peace of mind.

Or, just use an encryption method like PGP, encrypted online text paste services, saltstack, etc new fangled encryption methods, or send pre-encrypted files hosted on external services.

end rant blah

I've booked about 10 AirBnBs over the past month, while travelling through Europe. I basically had to as my mental and physical health had deteriorated due to staying in hostels, with the never ending cycle of snorers, lights on, late night returns, etc. And hotels were absurdly expensive.

Each AirBnB that I booked, in

* Barcelona, Spain

* Amsterdam, NL

* middle-Germany

* Denmark

* Norway

were all someone's extra space in their house they had; or a side unit to their main house; or their entire place and they were on travel or business outside the country.

Additionally, ALL of them I booked were far, far cheaper than hotels by many margins, and I could cook to my diet in many of the spaces I stayed. That really helped cost wise too.

None of them had ridiculous cleaning requirements OR cleaning fees (and I clean the dishes and pots and pans I use by hand simply because I need them again or otherwise, and I'm not an animal). None of them had ridiculous AirBnB fees, although most were pretty much a good deal, and then AirBnB fees made it a bit less of a good deal.

Sorry for this sounding a bit preachy, I'm well aware of the damage AirBnB does to communities, cities, countries even but I'm baffled how many shitty experiences it sounds like people are having recently.

(there's a BIG anti-tourism/anti-AirBnB mentality and movement in Barcelona, which I experienced first hand not getting any change back for a 10 euro bill on a 2 euro purchase; minor but still, sheesh)

On the other side of that, I'm also fully on board with properties that were bought explicitly to use as AirBnBs or rental homes for tourists, to return to market, and I really hope that does happen. I say that because as evidenced by my experiences, there are still places that sort of follow the original ethos of AirBnBs: rent your extra personal space out.

I typed all this from a small basement area in Norway, that I booked on AirBnB, which is very comfortable, and relaxing. I made some great pasta too, which honestly I can't say I've ever been able to do in hotels. Also, I have far greater concerns with hotels and *bugs than with AirBnBs and similar stuff, but that's just me

Honestly though, I will probably avoid using AirBnB in the future as best I can, especially as it seems unnecessary through Japan.

Once the general Tumblr-sphere caught on, people thought this meant "Go nuts, show nuts" was back; as in, NSFW is generally allowed again. However, that was definitely not the case, as nothing in the TOS or other site details was updated to reflect allowing NSFW. This was just an addition that we're (Tumblr users) suspecting is one part of possibly allowing NSFW content again.

Thus the above is why I think photomatt put that post up, perhaps in response to all the inquiries and buzz on the site.

Yes!! This drove me nuts.

Not only are there different UIs, but the physical UX differed sometimes too! I really, really want to know who's idea it was to implement the rollbar they have on the machines, because that absolutely does not work well. And the fact it rolled on one machine up and down, and on the next it's reversed??

I hate buying mobile tickets but sometimes it's just so much more convenient.

Or the paper ticket is even slightly bent. Or bent in half. Or mildly wet. Or a corner is folded. Or sometimes it looks fine but just won't work. Or it works at one station but not another.

I say all that because each situation happened to me on my visit to Barcelona this summer :)

I also had a problem where I had to basically rebuy a new 10-trip ticket twice within a day of each other, because the first got folded in a bag, and the other I thought I misplaced (only to find it at the absolute bottom of a heavily packed shopping bag). Oh and the one day I tried to get my folded ticket replaced, the only station I passed through was closed early! How convenient :)

Basically, those paper tickets WERE a pain. But I don't like the new photo ID cards they're introducing either. Good luck I suppose...

I am also wondering, do you follow the general advice of 1 iteration and 1 sample, for example:

--n_samples 1 --n_iter 1 (when referencing commands using txt2img.py)

I figure you could wait a bit for things to process going further, but curious just if you're getting results like that with higher sample/iter settings.
