there was this other, similar town pronounced -bruh or -boro that people talked about.

You were so close: Edinburgh only got its name after Edward I invaded Scotland in 1296. Before that it (which was then a larger area than the present Edinburgh) had just been called “the Burgh”, which depending on regional variation would have been pronounced either “burg” or “boro”. “Edinburgh” referred to a smaller area within the Burgh that the king’s guards would patrol more severely due to the perceived increased risk of rebellion due to higher population density.

When you go at it harder than a trash compactor and your partner literally changes shape.

Thanks will take a look!

Isn’t soap technically self-dirtying since it’s supposed to get dirt to cling to it rather than your skin?

Aka “(Korean) Italy towels”.

My tech background is in the fact that our family computer in the early 2000s wasn’t powerful enough to do much and my parents wouldn’t pay for games, so I spent a ton of time digging around in Control Panel and system files and messing up the BIOS settings.

My studies have all been in the humanities and I’ve never worked in an actual tech role; I got into scripting and self-hosting because I’m lazy, I like FOSS, and I like systems that work in the way I tell them to rather than how someone else thinks they should work.

Shame someone can’t make a bot for tha— ohhhhhh…

I hadn’t dealt with video in years (like 2008) and recently used my Canon R6 to record a few seconds of 4k footage.

After getting over being annoyed at the camera stopping due to overheating after just 5 minutes, I was shocked to see a 7 second clip come to almost 700mb as a raw file.

Indeed video will probably be the last kind of network to see federation. It could take some pretty generous acts of philanthropy along the way to make anything sustainable happen.

An umbrella makes a crazy difference, I basically won’t leave the house without at least a lightweight one in summer.

Note not all umbrellas block UV equally though.

Full keyboard navigation (j and k to focus up and down posts, u to go to user profile, c to enter comments…) including toggling expandos, and regex keyword filtering for me.
