I'm seeing a lot of people talking Dan Lyke / comment 0

I'm seeing a lot of people talking about the $6.3B Binance hack, but let's put that number in perspective. It's less than 5x the amount FEMA recently announced in grants "to Support Disaster Recovery and Long-Term Resilience".

I do not understand of course cout Dan Lyke / comment 1

I do not understand, of course cout shifted left by "test" is less than endl, why is my compiler complaining?

(In non-typo news, I'm clearly doing something wrong in porting from pcre to pcre2. Sigh.)

Upgraded my web server Ubuntu and Dan Lyke / comment 1

Upgraded my web server Ubuntu, and suddenly Apache won't write the log files where it's been writing the log files for a long time (under my personal home directory). And I have no idea how to debug this, whether it's some new permissions layer, or...?

Also rewriting C++ because a package I was using has disappeared.

I think the future kinda sucks. I suspect it's time for me to learn one of the BSDs and compile all my own stuff from scratch rather than depending on packages.

When making a coconut cream cannabis Dan Lyke / comment 0

When making a coconut cream cannabis extract, do not lick the spoon.

In other news, if anyone needs me I'll be chilling on Mars.

Cannabis explorations so I can find Dan Lyke / comment 0

Cannabis explorations so I can find this later: Neighbor brought by a jar of their current crop, we had last year's still in a jar in the freezer, so I crumbled it (resin still on my fingers), oven at 220F for 30 minutes+cooling time for decarboxylation.

Split it, about 13 grams, between soaking in 1 cup of 80 proof vodka at room temperature, and in a can of coconut cream at 175F (induction plate) for a while.

Gonna make gummie bears with some of it (probably coconut chai spice).
