TIL that "nginx" is pronounced "engine-x", and not "n-jinx"
  • I've always pronounced it "In-jen-iks". I blame Jurassic Park and it's fictional biotech company InGen, but it does kinda also sound like "eugenics". But I dunno man, if you want everyone to pronounce your software a specific way maybe spell it in a manner where the pronunciation is more obvious? Just a thought.

  • Yup. If there was an encrypted, federated solution that provided all of the services that proton does, even if half as polished, I'd absolutely consider switching. I'd even consider running my own node. All centralized solutions that see success also become over time the thing you want to flee.

  • I'm not on the exit proton bandwagon. All CEOs are awful and I don't have the energy to do the vote-with-your-dollars ethical consumption dance every time we're freshly reminded of that fact. Especially not with the only service out there that packages data integrity, privacy, and ease of use in a complete suite at the level that proton does.

  • Egg prices expected to rise more than 40 percent in 2025
  • Tofu scramble is pretty good. Firm or extra firm tofu block, slice and crumble into a bowl. 1 tbsp turmeric, 1 tbsp black pepper, 1 tbsp garlic powder, mix. Cook in a pan on medium stirring occasionally, will turn yellow as it heats up. Then add key ingredient black salt (kala namak, a salt with a strong sulfur flavor) to taste. Mix in with your pan fry mix of choice, I like onion/garlic/serrano/mushroom/smoked paprika/chili powder/spinach/tomato and green pepper/cilantro added at the end. Serve with fruit and toast.

  • fiction vs. nonfiction
  • Incorrect, a healthcare system does not require for-profit insurance companies to serve the health needs of it's members.

    I assume you made your comment out of ignorance and not as an attempt to spread misinformation. Check out the single payer model as an example of a full healthcare system that does not utilize for-profit insurance.

  • Ignoring the climate emergency
  • Stumbled on the last part by implying that there are different "types" of capitalism and that one of these mythical types, corporatism, just needs to be "reigned in".

    There is only one kind of capitalism. And there is no "reigning it in". Capitalism isn't a fucking broken in pony that you ride into the sunset. We either wipe it out completely, or over time it wipes all of us out.

  • I own a lifted hatchback with gravel tires that I occasionally take down timber trails to camp or shoot. That's maybe why I understood what you meant. But the way it came across, it just soubded like you need to go hiking more :P

  • Also this is a healthy maintence regime. In my experience most cyclists do nothing on that list except swapping flat tubes and their bikes still ride just fine, if not merely sub-optimally.

  • Alarm as bird flu now ‘endemic in cows’ while Trump cuts staff and funding
  • Vegan here. Sticking to the two questions you asked before you got lost in scope creep and logical fallacy: I get my food from the supermarket, mostly. And it scales way better than animal ag because farming plants requires radically less resources per calorie than farming animals.

    Just like most other positive decisions in the world, it's not revolutionary on it's own. Nor is it aiming to be, nor does it need to be.

  • My local bike coop is full of very dependable, freshly tuned bikes that average around $150, built with love and care by expiriend mechanics. If you have issues with your bike, those same mechanics will guide you through the process of fixing it and give you access to every tool you could possibly need to do so, all for free or suggested donation.

  • Age Restricted Youtube
  • I don't think any of the proxies or frontends have a good way around it yet, and google is clearly using it as a way to fuck with said frontends. Best practice suggestion: Every time you get cockblocked by something like this, you must send at least one friendly DM or message to the content creator suggesting they at least put a second copy of their content on a decentralized platform.

  • Recommendations for a Portland-local CPA who is crypto-literate?

    My entire life I've used either Turbotax or HRBlock to file my own taxes as I've only had to deal with 1099s and W-2s, but this year I finally sold off some of the bitcoin I've been accumulating and I do not trust those services to handle capital gains correctly. I've already got my books mostly in order, I'm just looking for a CPA who I can sit down with in person and trust to minimize my expenses while making sure I do all due diligence, without over-charging me merely "because it's crypto". Bonus point if you can recommend someone you've used for this exact purpose. Thank you!
