Thank you! I’ll try that out.

Offtopic, but do you think it’s better to use HTTPS for non-public web services that must be accessed through ssh?

That description of 2010 Korea sounds like Japan, except it hasn’t changed in Japan as it did in Korea. Some public baths outright ban people with tattoos. Tattoos are still pretty much a taboo (pun intended) in Japan.

To people thinking of enforcing UTC around the globe:

obligatory: https://qntm.org/abolish

Before I read this article, I also thought it would be a great idea to get rid of timezones entirely and just use UTC for everything. To quote from the link,

Abolishing time zones brings many benefits, I hope. It also:

• causes the question “What time is it there?” to be useless/unanswerable
• necessitates significant changes to the way in which normal people talk about time
• convolutes timetables, where present
• means “days” (of the week) are no longer the same as “days”
• complicates both secular and religious law
• is a staggering inconvenience for a minimum of five billion people
• makes it near-impossible to reason about time in other parts of the world
• does not mean everybody gets up at the same time, goes to work at the same time, or goes to bed at the same time
• is not simpler.

As long as humans live in more than one part of the world, solar time is always going to be subjective. Abolishing time zones only exacerbates this problem.

Glad to know you’re doing well!

Cool you moved to Japan? How has it been?

Would my plastic water bottle (reusable) be a problem?

Yes, like the Vietnamese name “Nguyen”, but not like “wininks”. The best I could describe it is as a hybrid between “ninks” and “ginks”. Pronounce the first consonant with the back of your tongue while keeping the image of pronouncing an “n” sound in your head.

I like to pronounce it as nginks like fucking inks. Yes, with a ng sound in the beginning.

True. It doesn’t even install on Android 14.

Fcitx5 is the best for Chinese. Honestly very impressed that there is a open-source keyboard this good for Chinese. Only thing missing is fat finger error correction (like autocorrect but it works on the preedit text instead of text already output)

Fcitx5 for Chinese, and Flickboard for English. Honestly sad that there isn’t a decent open-source keyboard for Japanese though.

I believe the English one is the original. The “original” one (the one in Chinese) was probably translated from English.

congrats.

Ohhh that one. I see. Thanks.

What’s “Taiwan’s advice”? What did Taiwan tell China about Russia?

I see! Thanks, will try to back up my docker compose services this way.

Can you elaborate on how your backup script re-deploys on new hardware? Sounds very nice to have.

it really does suck. mine started since I was 14, like wtf

I was gonna downvote you but the I saw your username. good one I guess
