You’re the one who took what you heard as fact (you made a statement that said something happened that didn’t with no indication that it was fiction or urban legend) without checking but okay, stranger on the internet. A dumbass forum comment like yours doesn’t merit a literary analysis, get over yourself.
The lack of self-awareness is hilarious, so thanks for the chuckle. Some serious malding loser energy to take an offhand joke so damn personally.
I think you heard a fat joke and confused it with a fact.
Both spellings are correct as far as I’m aware. Like how we call it the metric system and not système international d’unités, you can translate terms into your native language if desired.
If you want to be pedantic, do it elsewhere, because I honestly do not give a single shit.
Metric ton (1000 kg), not imperial/long ton (2240 lbs) or US/short ton (2000 lbs).
Yeah, my education is in electrical engineering and industrial automation. I’ve grown up using computers and like to learn, but I’ve never had any formal education on the subject except for high school programming classes, an intro CS course using Scheme, and a Python 3 bootcamp on Udemy. Everything else that I know is just from hands-on experience and using a search engine.
For hosting services and managing my domain, only a basic understanding is necessary, so I don’t feel held back by it. I do wish that I could contribute to my favourite projects, though.
So a few podcast apps support a service called gPodder, which provides cross-device syncing of subscriptions and episode progress, but the gPodder servers are slow and often time out, rendering the service useless.
oPodSync is essentially a drop-in replacement for gPodder. My use case is that I listen to podcasts on both my desktop and my phone, and I want episodes to be seamlessly accessible on both devices without having to manually do anything.
It’s very resource-light, so if you have any interest in podcasts at all it’s another piece of cool tech that gives you more control over your data. I used to use Player.FM, which is still a cool app, but I was paying them $13/year for a small handful of premium features I didn’t really think were worth that much.
Yeah, no worries if they’re not all useful to you. I still do the actual updates manually, Diun just tells me when to do them so I don’t have to routinely check project pages or follow an RSS feed.
Ah, cool. Thanks for the additional info. I never kept up with Watchtower since Diun fit my needs. I’ll check out Degoog; I don’t mind several hundred line config files though, I usually go through all of the config/env settings prior to setting up a new service.

Thanks for posting, I gotta add the random facts to my Glance dashboard now.
My wife is a horticulturist and she has showed me some plants with sun stress that have turned a reddish purple when they’re not supposed to. Eventually, the plant will die if not given a reprieve.
Maybe there is some sort of adaptation happening where the plants have been trying to survive in a low shade environment for a long time, and being purple helps in some way, so it became permanent. But I am just speculating.
