It's "worse"? I did a quick google if it was illegal to bypass a TPM and found this vague line: "If you bypass hardware-level TPM encryption to gain unauthorized access to a computer system you do not own"

I bet that is a part of the licensing gotchas in that you don't actually own the device, even though you paid for it?

I dunno. That sounds like some legit legal bullshit to me. Contract law needs burned to the ground and rebuilt so that it protects more than one entity.

    Yeah, it's an embarrassing shit stain that .ml is the "main" instance. Every other instance admin is forced to play nice if they want a place to get support, which sucks. Lemmy needs to be forked hard, but those devs are sucking in funding from about a half-dozen or more sources, so they have more incentive than most to do the foot work.

    I doubt it. If you don't expressly need their devices, their ecosystem can be a pain to use. If something isn't annoying as hell, it's probably an additional monthly fee.

    If you want solid performance metrics for running, cycling, swimming, hiking or golf, it's awesome. Any other feature they have always comes with really weird caveats. Their LTE watches are great.... If everyone you know is using the shitty Garmin Messenger app so they can receive calls and texts. Stuff like that. LiveTrack looks like it was built in the 80's and have never given a shit enough to use it unless I absolutely need it.

    Still though, my running metrics are fucking insane and crushes any other solution I have seen. One of my biker friends shares similar opinions.

    If they were actually fucking with FMLA in Colorado, they are not going to have a good time. Plus, that would just be stupid since the state pays it and it should be a no-brainer for employers to just let the employee take some time.

    The whole seppuku thing sounds very Colorado tech culture, so I dunno what the deal is with that.

    Congratulations on the steak! It can be daunting if you have never cooked one before.

    While I am not one to tell another man what he should do with his own meat, I can say that a marinade is usually not my first option for getting the steak tender.

    First off, it starts with the best marbled steak you can afford. There are plenty of "choice" cuts out there that fit the bill and you don't need to pay top dollar. The extra fats are a good start for the next step.

    Reverse sear. Oven bake the steaks at a low temperature for as long as possible. Since most ovens only will go down to 200°F or so, that is what we'll work with. (Ideally you want lower, but 200 is fine.) The longer you can cook a steak, the better: The extra time at low heat will break down connective tissues really well, even with steaks that you think might end up tough. (Sous vide is an option and you can keep a steak at the proper temp for so long it turns into mush if you wanted.)

    After the steak is up to temp, throw that bitch on a smoking hot cast iron pan for just long enough to develop a crust. You should be good after that.

    Again, you do you. I prefer no marinades as I just like a steak that is well cooked instead of hiding it behind sauces and such. My main point is that you have options for getting a steak tender, chemical or otherwise. (Salt and pepper should enhance the steak, not hide its flavor.)

    It's Auora and should probably be considered another country in-itself. It was disowned by Denver and the rest of Colorado years ago.

    Regardless, it has a really shitty history of police behavior and this was likely fairly low on the scale of what Aurora would consider violent behavior.

    Aurora's only function is to catch the off-gassing from Commerce City so it kinda puts the "fart police" in better context. It's also probably why the police there are also a little "special".

    Just a silly idea: Add a filter that blocks posts based on comment to post ratio. (Comment:post ratio + account age would be a bonus)

    While it is very brute force, if a user has 5 comments and 2000 posts, chances are that I am going to block that user as a bot. Adding an account age option would be a decent fine-tune option. (Some legit users are just content gods, but they also tend to comment and participate which is awesome.)

    Bonus idea, but probably not possible: Collapse posts in my feed from communities that have low user:post diversity. Example: If a community has 10,000 posts but there are only 2-3 different users making those posts, it's probably also something I would block naturally as well.

    Bug Report

    If I make a comment on a post, it will not show for at least an hour. Clicking on my comment in my history does not show the comment on the post. (Editing a post or participating in conversations is extremely difficult.)

    Replies to that comment will show that there is a reply "waiting", but the reply will not unroll in my post history, nor is it visible in the post thread.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Make a comment
    2. Attempt to navigate to comment
    3. Cannot see comment on post.

    (I guess this is a 7mo update too? https://lemmy.ca/post/53008395)

    Running and breathing control is a topic repeated ad nauseam on the interwebs, but is probably worth a rehash as new techniques are discovered or newer runners run into issues. (I still consider myself a new runner, as I still have not reached what I would consider to be an "acceptable" or consistent pace for anything over a casual 5k.)

    My biggest limiter with my running is breathing. While nasal issues are absolutely in-play for me (severely deviated septum; surgery this week), I have been able to inch my way up to between 4-6 miles with a regular running schedule, strict recovery schedule and of course, pushing myself consistently and safely. My "running out of air" is always the hard wall I hit, head first.

    The muscle burn has always been easy for me to push through, but if I start to hold my running/heartrate even a hair over 140bpm I will crash fairly quick (10-15mins), "run out of air" and have to stop before my current target time of 45 mins.

    I suspect my blood pressure meds may be in play as well, capping my heart rate to a degree and limiting O2 uptake. I am going to talk with my Dr. about that as I may be to a point soon that I don't need them. I have already gone through two medication "downgrades" and have stopped one completely under supervision, of course.

    Most of my running is treadmill, mostly because I love the consistency at a chill 10min/mi pace. Once a week, I will hit the track and practice at my target marathon pace of 8:30min/mi, but that is essentially just glorified sprints, as I can only handle .25 miles at a time as my heartrate peaks fairy quick, for obvious reasons. (Run faster, heart more beat faster.)

    Casual track running will push my breathing harder, but does not seem to peak my heart rate as fast, which is super weird. When spring started and I hit the track again this year, I was gasping for air at an 11min pace and my heartrate wasn't a beat over 135. Talk about a demotivating experience. I am recovering my track pace again slowly and it's taking more time than I anticipated. (I can still run like a champ on the treadmill though, so it's a good morale boost.)

    Do you specifically train for breathing in your exercise of choice? Do you go so far as to allocate an entire training day to just breathing or work it into your routine normally?

    I know most of the basics like belly breathing, in one/out two and all the variations, coordinated breathing with pace, etc. I am still settling into, and experimenting with, different techniques as my pace and distance increases. However, feel free to rehash anything as getting different perspectives and starting discussion is the ultimate goal of this post.

     

    Bug Report

    Describe the issue:

    1. The text selector is sticky again during comment or edit
    2. Some comment replies do not unroll/expand in profile history.
    3. Not all comments load.
    4. My new comments don't always load until after app reload in profile history.
    5. Votes aren't updated until after app restart. (In profile history)
    6. Strange loading behavior/broken search for piefed instances.
    7. Text selector is un-broken editing this post sometimes.
    8. (Maybe not a bug) I can't sort by new in Connect community.

    There are plenty more, and they all are mostly tiny things. A button might not work, comment replies won't unroll, etc. "Major" functions work, but everything around the edges needs polish.

    The text selector one is absolute torture.

    My background: Long time IT security engineer here that can code when I need. For dev experience, I have worked with various languages over the years like assembly, C/C++, js, typescript, PERL, python, etc. When needed, I can hack out a specialized tool but I am absolutely not a professional developer.

    My ask: I just want a simple web framework that I don't need to think about too much. There are a few ideas I have regarding security analyst workflow in a SIEM-type of environment and need a way to code simple tools as basic snap-ins to a central analysis console.

    The ELK stack serves a inspiration (specifically Kibana). However, there is so much more I want to build into an security specific analysis console and building it one snap-in at a time seems manageable over time.

    What is the current flavor of the day regarding Web app dev frameworks that might function how I want? What frameworks would be compatible with a broad audience over a long period of time? (I never liked open source applications that use super niche libraries or frameworks that become obsolete and stale after a few months.)

    I hope I was able to describe clearly enough what I am looking for. I would google around for ideas, but I simply don't know the correct questions to ask about this kind of thing until I get more up-to-speed.
