I guess there's one benefit of remote work I can see as an essential employee, a lot of the middlemen I report data to may not be around and I can get more credit for the work I do:
"Similarly, if your entire work product is boxing up other people’s production and sending it to the CEO, that becomes significantly harder to prove as your own in a fully digital environment—the producer in question can simply send it along themselves. Remote work makes who does and doesn’t actually do work way more obvious."

Like it or not, the way we work has already evolved.Ed Zitron (The Atlantic)
As a sort of “Christmas in July” gift, I set up a website for my parents’ business using #hugo and the hugo-scroll theme. Actually the most time was spent on the logo which I recreated as an #svg using #Inkscape . Even #self-hosting it on my own server!

Apple’s weather app won’t say it’s 69 degrees
Apple’s Weather app on iOS 14 has an usual issue: it refuses to display the number 69 for its forecasts, rounding its source data up to 70 degrees or down to 68. The error appears to be fixed on the upcoming iOS 15, however.Chaim Gartenberg (The Verge)
And we’re back.
Back to civilization after TWO DAYS without power from a storm. Just glad Ameren doesn’t run the toilets!
I've also heard these are a good source of tannins, and were used to make the original iron based inks.

I used to love visiting Cahokia Mounds as a kid; the place is fascinating. Apparently the vast majority of the site also remains unexcavated…wonder what else is hiding there….

lets say joe and john are very similar.
joe opts out.
but john is still in.
so you can learn things about joe from watching john.
it's not enough for a small minority to opt out.

In case you're running Folding@Home (and I hope you are!), this site is where a lot of candidate molecules are displayed that show the effect of activity calculated against coronavirus. You can see your contribution in real time!

I did a thing!
Made another raised bed to put in the yard. This one is going to grow lots of lettuce and other greens...hopefully.

Even with just a 1:1 mixture of compost:manure, most things did pretty well. Unfortunately we underestimated the affinity for a squash plant we started from a store-bought squash seed for the bed, it ended up dominating everything else:

Sorry for the direct mention, but I'm having trouble with Friendica groups. I can't see any posts except my own from a few months ago. I can still get feeds of people in my network timeline. I also left and then tried to re-add the Friendica Admins group, admins@forum.friendi.ca, but I can't seem to re-add it.
Was wondering if it was a weird database issue or if my nginx config is doing something weird again. I was having issues with redis recently so not sure if that's an issue. Thanks for any tips you have.

This is really strange. I re-followed the admins last night, but just checked again and I can see the latest post from Tio. So I guess it just took a while? I unfortunately can't see any previous post, but maybe that will populate over time. I'll wait a day or two and see if that works.

Okay. That's good to know if I need any other posts from the past! Maybe it was hung on on using a different protocol (I've followed the forum.friendi.ca groups ever since I started up my node. It seems like at least un-following and then re-adding the group restored communication.
Well it can't last forever. Pretty sure my desktop graphics card gave up the ghost today, and now my computer won't boot. Trying to scrape through eBay for a decent upgrade and found a 590x for a decent price. Hope that helps it boot back up! #hardware

Thanks! My motherboard has the error code display built in, so I’m pretty sure it’s due to a graphics card firmware corruption issue.
