Yee! Multiple I talked to and places I'd read suggested the Best Test + Bestine combo, mixing about equal parts in a glass jar with metal lid (I tried plastic but the fumes bulged and warped it and it stopped being airtight) using like, a Popsicle stick or something to mix thoroughly and then it's nice and thin for easily applying cleanly with a small paint brush ^^

Replying from main for the longer post char count x3
Bestine is the brand I use, same as the Best Test cement! Need to thin the glue out to make it workable -- it's just too thick otherwise. Plus it works great as a surface prep for the glue, or removing it for mistakes.
For the surface prep, any residue-less cleaner works, I know some people prefer rubbing alcohol or acetone. And I may stick to acetone for cleaning since it's much cheaper of a solvent.
I tried Barge cement thinner but that stuff is so noxious :< Bestine is just heptane, but the barge also adds toluene and ethyl acetate. It literally strips its own paint just trying to pour it for use, and it fucked up my cutting mat. It smelled like a sign shop x.x I'm just holding onto the can until the hazmat recycling day so I can drop it off.

Canon Kay wears latex boxers because the scent of hot rubber from his oversize sheath, puffy sac, and just crotch area in general would just make everywhere he goes smell intensely of hot balloon.
Isn't even anything to do with being horny, its just a very warm region thus very potent hot latex scent from it.

Eat! The tiny 'maters will end up snacks or part of a loose sauce for a pasta. The big ones sliced for eats or into a sauce, or sandwich -- I DID actually grate one yesterday to put on crusty bread to make pan con tomate!
The peppers will go into something spicy, at least the cowhorns, because those are FIREY hot. And I dunno on the santa fe, they're a fruity-spicy one.

I might not have enough predatory insects here :< The neighborhood gets sprayed by the city a couple times a year. I've heard in the past about ordering ladybugs? Is that a viable option? I didn't even realize these were aphids because of their size! I'm used to seeing the teeny ones!

2026-05-20 22:52:26 UTC

Hi #Gardening folks, I need help!
I have these lovely things invading many of my gladiolus. The white ones are also on my tomatoes somewhat, but not heavily-so.
I've sprayed them all down with neem oil spray using a half-gallon pressurized sprayer I got, but I'm worried that's not good enough.
It rains frequently here too during the summer (Central Alabama) so most things applied might wash off within a couple days.
What's safe for treating my plants regularly to help my tomato harvests as well? They have some yellowing leaves at the bottom and those white things were on them.

Music Assistant does most of those, FLAC from whatever fucking network or local you want, and works with tons of speakers natively as well as literally anything Home Assistant supports.

I think I'm gonna do more of those rubber bandanas. I had a lot of fun making one and learning and I'd love to extend what I learned to do more and more.
Probably would be hard for me to add new stuff to the one I made (such as a zipper pouch on the back) but, future!

People keep assuming for all of these laws that it's a lack of technical knowledge on the part of politicians that cause these laws to happen.
It's not that. That's true, sure, but it's unrelated.
It's that they don't care.
People keep assuming the VPN bans or "you still have to verify age of Utah citizens even behind a VPN" solely come about based on a lack of knowledge but the real point is establishing consequences to prevent the things that can't fight it from existing to begin.
They'll decline to go after the porn websites they as lawmakers use themselves, but will instead hit up independent things that can't afford to fight back and will just close when contacted -- places like independent social media, small websites providing information to queer youth, and other small sexual health websites.

I could see how, but I tend to check packages when there's a few variants.
I...actually want to contribute one to AUR, myself. The obs-localvocal plugin ( https://github.com/royshil/obs-localvocal/ ) for live captions in OBS isn't updated frequently, and on Linux that's actually often an issue when on a semi-bleeding-edge distro like Arch. The pre-built libraries for whisper-cpp were out-of-date for my ROCm, and I had to build from source, and even find a build flag not referenced in the documentation to FULL build from-source including whisper-cpp.

I'm still on OpenSUSE on my laptop but I've been considering switching; lort knows since it's Tumbleweed they BOTH update frequently, and at least with Cachy the entire Arch wiki is applicable (if it's still up-to-date).
I even have VSTs working for stuff, licensed ones! (I don't think I've paid for any yet but some are licensed free via my Focusrite interface). Someone did a guide with scripts that can use a Bottles bottle (though because I'm running Bottles locally, not as a flatpak, I had to modify their script slightly) with a specific Wine runner for YABridge to run them. It's wild seeing the interface windows and their controls when adding as a rack in Carla. Mind, all of this isn't exactly Arch-specific stuff but like, it's cool as hell.
Really so far the Windows-only stuff I've been getting away with in a VM if I can't run it under Wine or Proton. Even current Affinity runs pretty damn solid under Wine. And sure, I can't use device firmware updaters in that, but I can via the Windows VM, temporarily attaching a device before removing once the update is done.

I'm getting Arch-pilled by running @npub1s6r…nqev now. Honestly there's just so much refreshing about this compared to other distros, and it's my first time running anything Arch-based. Excellent intro to it, and with the absurd performance, probably my main one now.

2026-04-25 19:33:13 UTC

Normally I'd be like "what, fuck" for package resolution, but... I'm realizing suddenly why Arch folks love PKGBUILD so damn much and AUR.
It ensures building a package from source NEVER collides with other packages because the pkg declares the files it creates.
I'm annoyed obs-studio wasn't updated to properly declare obs-plugin-browser obsoleted by it so that Pacman itself would just go "Hey, OK to do that?" but that's just an annoyance. 'yay -R obs-plugin-browser' is all it took to fix.

[@0x4d6165](https://transfem.social/@0x4d6165 )
Every time I see folks say "screen readers should just handle them as letters" it dismisses the fact they all are useful characters that mean things in other contexts, but the idea of "in certain circumstances" is the first time I've read a related take that feels vaguely viable.
I could see some folks going "aha! A use for LLMs!" but someone on fedi wrote a handcrafted "micro language model" -- his words analogizing it -- so my stream bot could detect when someone key smashes and automatically play the "password generated" event I've got set up for it. Extremely low CPU, could detect quickly in this case.
But that all still requires developers of these readers to implement functionality based on this misusage. Where do you draw the line? What about the folks who use those characters from non-Roman written languages that look like Roman characrers, like the racist "Asian font" generators?

Of note folks, if you see the thing about "Telegram 9.8 flaw!!!" going around:
- There is _no_ confirmation of this yet, it's only listed as an "upcoming" vuln without assigned page on ZDI's site.
- Media/stickers/calls/etc are _not_ confirmed mechanisms at all, and may have nothing to do with it.
- We don't even know that it's an RCE, that's just an assumption that some other websites have run with.
- Other "9.8 CVSS" 'vunlerabilities' have been reported in the past for other software that were...not. This AI slop one against curl (https://hackerone.com/reports/3340109) comes to mind.
It just says the vendor is Telegram, and Telegram has numerous services. For all we know this could be related to their blockchain, their payment platforms, or a vulnerability allowing malicious takeover of someone else's bot. There is zero information, as the researcher themself has said nothing on what it is so far.
(If any part of this is no longer true please let me know with verified info and I will edit the post to remove those.)

On this front I just realized uh...
Folks who want to use #Meshtastic devices to communicate at protests?
You probably should use a dedicated one that's only for these events and keep it turned off when not at the protest itself.
The standard firmware has hardware IDs broadcast -- it's why wiping one without restoring the old keys means your friends need to delete you from their NodeDB for a key refresh.
And that's a way to find you later.

In a horrid, twisted way, the sum is slightly better than either part.
The frosting is necessary to offset the intense blandness, somehow being lighter than the cookie. How?
The cookie's blandness tempers the sweetness of the frosting.
This is a sin against baking.

And underneath lies the blandest, stodgiest sugar cookie I have ever tasted. Bit some without the frosting to taste it proper.
It's moist, but way too thick. And the taste is not actually exaggerating to say "cardboard". It's like someone forgot even imitation vanilla.

Seriously why does it need so much frosting? Frosted cookies can be good but every cookie in that box had frosting in amounts I can only imagine is a quality cover. It's like over-frosting a thick cookie cake.
Also it's not good, like a meh cream cheese frosting.

Utterly terrified going through a sloooow merge process of merging @npub1e7y…6a38 patch in and resolving the multitude of conflicts.
trying to figure out why some conflicts just..deleted files that're both still in the .patch source commit AND in HEAD of the working branch. What.

I'm very confused too cause I thought they sound like North American voices both but I see 50Hz. I was about to say if that said 60Hz even worse because it means both sides of the hot are connected, one to each @.@

Figured I'd try VirtualHere's "optimised" server by way of the CloudHub appliance image for my pi zero 2 w. Nope, just locks up within seconds of me connecting to it from my desktop. Derrrp.
Back to trying the normal server under Raspbian, but not tonight. Sleepy now.

Revisiting, do you have where you got the original patch from? I'd like to merge it in such that it won't get overwritten by other incoming changes.

Huge balloons are comfy to lounge on, especially when you're effectively one yourself what with being latex and air, heavy enough to sink in some. And comfy for watching fall weather. Now I just need a cozy mug of tea. ^^

IDK why some folks excuse Google shutting down service for the first 2 Nest thermostats as "well it's IoT, you shouldn't expect it to last".
It's a fucking thermostat. I damn well expect it to last and be supported as long as a thermostat normally is.
Honeywell manages this. My current Emerson manages this. Both of them are thermostat companies first, technology second.
So how come the tech-first company is fucking abysmal at tech longevity besides being worthless at tech?

Ughh this company that's probably just Furrjoi in another name tag is selling these incredibly cute balloon paws, feetpaws and handpaws. And I want so bad but feel bad trying to justify the cost to myself despite how badly I want it, buhhh. Also silicone, not latex, but still puffy rubbery.

Hey #FediAdmin is there a markdown patch for Mastodon besides migrating to glitch-soc? Was interested in applying an up-to-date one to my next build for blimps.xyz if there is one. I know Glitch has it just not 1000% ready for that migration.

I imagine most of these are firewall/edge filtering to reject all connection requests from Threads to ensure Threads does not obtain any information from their instance.
Meta does not have a particularly great track record of deleting records on their part with their other services. It's hypocritical of them to be throwing a fit that other instances just refuse to connect to them altogether as a result of their historic behavior, especially with no guarantees Meta won't siphon the instance data without being blocked at the network level.

yikes. Can only hope that Kamala and/or Walz make better decisions there on the trail.
tbf speaking at the DNC is just talking to a bunch of detached WASPs who go "oh you poor thing" before turning back to their mimosas so it'd've potentially been moot but it'd still have been a strong sign of solidarity.

Aye. I think part of this is difficulty in toggling statuses, or lack of flexibility, like there needs to be a fifth option or something but I dunno quite what. It's easier now than it once was but old habits die hard I guess. I at least try to reply to people to let them know, and try to set DND with 'Avatar Testing' as a status when that's all I'm doing

then use melty butter; you're only adding a thin layer of it mostly for the egg adding more crisp like a french toast, and the oil for the browning for frying. Think of it in context for its ingredients and it's a lot less gross for this ^^

reminds me of a grilled Thai inspired sandwich a friend taught me: PB on the inside of one slice (not sweet), and orange marmalade in the inside of the other. Between, add curry powder, Sriracha, and fresh basil, either from a tube or chiffoned. Then mayo the outside of it and griddle! Extremely good.

I clearly should focus on learning more Spanish; my brain is doing funny things right now flipping between watching a stream in Spanish (I understand maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of it, probably less x3) and typing in Spanish and understanding the spoken responses, and then flipping to typing in English.
It feels like my brain is trying to wire new connections or something as a result >.>
