Whenever I watch a tv scene where they do the "give me your cell phone so I can stick it in the magneto bag" bit, or read about some real life variation of it to get into some ultra luxe club whatever, I always ask why they assume people only have one phone. There's never a patdown or search. Presumably you'll get into trouble if they catch you using it, but that goes for the first phone, too. Just seems very sloppy.
Anyway, I think the punchline is you should definitely hire me to run security for your extremely private but totally legal meetings, birthday parties, etc., to avoid such lapses.
Ahhhh, jackpot! Blindspot S1E6.

Wonder who the tech adviser was for this show.
@ogmaconnect heh. self destructing by yourself may be the purest form, but it's less fun. :(
Pertinent map of the now.

@worr you're not going to like it, but after checking for false, print the value and check that.
{{ if and (not .val) (eq (print .val) "") }}
This matches empty string, but not nil.
A universal theory of online discussion
A good online discussion will have people posting information that not everybody knows. A thread in which only things that everybody knows is a bad discussion.
Unfortunately, things not known by everyone can only be posted by the people who do know. Secondly, not everyone is qualified to evaluate such comments, and they receive fewer up smashes. On the other hand, everybody can post things everybody knows. And they do. And since everybody agrees, such comments get smashed to the top.
Consequently, all of the biggest most popular discussions are bad.
(This is independent of whether what everyone knows is true, but that's a separate matter.)

I had to implement it from scratch since we like free licenses 
Took me about 5 minutes.

)
@lain stonks never go down, only "not up yet".
@piggo yeah, but maybe they plan to fill the space in between with burning oil.
Heh, last year, this year, what's the difference?
For completeness, urban outfitters located in between is going raw.
@tedu i haven't seen anyone talk about it the same way I did, https://emsenn.substack.com/p/the-riaa-isnt-our-biggest-threat, but it is just my own perspective
@tedu hi!
here's one:

Of the 4000 forum comments about the youtube-dl takedown, were there any good ones? Not just random spewage that you agreed with, but something that actually made you think?
"It's the economy, stupid."
Very strange that the police would delete a Facebook post only trying to set the record straight. Isn't the truth important?

@fikran just the rss feed.
New TV show viewing: Blindspot.
First sign of trouble: less than 30 minutes into the first episode, we have some secret Chinese emails that nobody on the show can read. Meanwhile, I can read them just fine. It's kernel/groups.c from the linux source.
Thank goodness the government is keeping track of what causes celebrities support. Wouldn't want mixed messages in the propaganda.
The same document indicates that singer-songwriter Christina Aguilera “is an Obama-supporting Democrat and a gay rights supporting liberal”; singer Adam Levine is a “liberal Democrat who supported Obama and fights for gay rights”; singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake “publicly endorsed Obama and supports gay marriage”; actor Johnny Depp “appears to be aligned with the liberal left”; and actor Jack Black is “known to be a classic Hollywood liberal.”

@fikran the front page shows all the public posts. There is no nodeinfo.

Poor stonks, so tired of winning.
@squelch that looks like the file is truncated. You can try downloading in browser, then posting a preview to see if it shows up. Also possible only some data was downloaded from the server.
Barricading my door so the wayland strike force doesn't break in and destroy all my X servers.
@squelch you'll have to look at the mastodon server to see why it returns 404. That's not normal.
@squelch oh, that error isnt directly related, but if an image failed to fetch because the server is fussy that could be another reason. There should be a log message with the url.
@abyxcos I should double check the ping interface. Could probably make it more forgiving.
@squelch it's not the file size, but probably the resolution that's too large. If it's a public post you don't mind linking, I can tell you for sure.
@abyxcos honk.
@squelch probably too big. Honk won't convert images over 20 megapixels or so.
