I hear you... it's definitely not about one tasting better than others, but maybe more about the eating experience. I do think there's a legitimate argument about how different pasta shapes encourage different pasta to sauce ratios, but at the end of the day it's just the two elements coming together and the taste is what it is. We should all enjoy it the way we want to! I just wanted to explain why some people talk about certain sauces and certain pasta shapes "belonging" together.

This game is not fun. It's not at all clear how the words relate, to the point where I got a top 10 word in the first 10 guesses, and it still took over 100 guesses to find the keyword.

I found it to be an unrewarding waste of time.

telegraf is so easy to use and extend

Definitely... you can write custom scripts that Telegraf will run and write that data to Influx. For instance, I have one that writes the Gateway status information from pfSense so I can track and graph any internet downtime.

Your lack of outrage is outrageous. Is this a game to you?

When it comes to work, I "Reply All" by default for this exact reason. The only time I modify recipients is if I'm starting a side conversation that not everybody needs to be involved in.

Broadcast emails, or emails asking for individual responses are the only time I would use "Reply". However, I think in those circumstances the sender should be using "BCC" rather than "To" or "CC" in order to prevent annoying "Reply All" messages.

I bought a Hydroflask 6 years ago. It's got a small dent on the base that makes it not sit perfectly flat. It's bright green and I love it.

I use a Graylog/Opensearch/Mongodb stack to log everything. I spent a good amount of time writing parsers for each source, but the benefit is that everything is normalized to make searching easier. I'm happy with it as a solution!

My Reolink cameras are firewalled from communicating with the internet, so I can confirm that they function fine without cloud access.

As I understand it, the primary reason that there are women-only events is because some people worry that having only open events would discourage women from participating at all. The reasons why women might not want to participate in open events seems to be related to women and girls historically not being encouraged as much as men, and therefore being weaker performers (as a group) than men. Additionally, there have been issues with sexual harassment (see the recent lichess article "Breaking the Silence"). It's understandable that some women would not be comfortable competing in that type of environment.

I think we need a concerted effort to bring competitive chess to a truly genderless paradigm. I understand why there are currently women-only events, but it's not hard to imagine a future where all humans play chess on equal footing all the time. The human brain is the star here, and the flesh and bones wrapped around that brain are inconsequential.

What makes you think there is any correlation between being able to sign up for Lemmy and knowing anything about artificial sweeteners? Those two things seem completely unrelated to me.
