The entire tone of the article feels… condescending? (not sure the exact feeling). It feels off in the way information is presented, like subtle disdain in the writing voice.

Where I’m from, “woke” is a generic code word used by white racists to refer to anything which doesn’t align to their principles. Any disagreement with their belief is simply labeled as “woke” because they cannot actually define and defend their use of the word, or directly name “the thing” (hard n----R word) out loud in public.

Even if it’s not misery per se, it’s an opportunity to find a current partner who holds more interest in shared hobbies (travel e.g.) or even find such a partner while traveling! Ending the current relationship now on a good (better?) note instead of letting it fester and breed resentment is worth a lot in my opinion. Part as friends or friendly if possible.

Piefed helped a number of communities reparent to their homeserver as-is when lemm.ee closed down, definitely a valid theory. meta@lemm.ee community final posts if you’re keen to farm data.

I’ve been watching a domain name for years (15?) - it is a “funny prop from a niche movie” in the 90s that nobody even remembers and it’s length isn’t short etc., a name only a real nerd would even know (poilte cough). I’ve watched this domain pass from squatter to sqatter over the years, it doesn’t sell but keeps getting picked up as soon as it expires at the previous squatter. The dotcom domain registry system is completely broken in favour of crony capitalism.

The number of good domain names being squatted on is too damn high. They’ll never see a single one of my shiny nickels, much less a dirty old dime.

5 time Kazooathon champ here (not really but I’d wear that with pride) - the close-to-source fluctuation in pressure from humming into the big end (not blowing/inhaling) is what vibrates the membrane in the circle making the noise. It’s possible to play it from the small end with terrible results, same with plugging the small end to create greater pressure - sort of ruins the physics. I believe a whistle would be more directly related to built up air pressure? (or a woodwind in general?)
