@freemo I still have my scripts. The real time commitment is manually verifying each "hit" based on my heuristics - I don't just ban people because the script thought they looked suspicious; there can be legitimate reasons to have an account that shares some features typically associated with spammers.
Anyway, I took some time off to see family about a year ago and by the time I came back the backlog was more than I could manage (at the end of 2022, Musk had started making unpopular changes at Twitter and daily influx was really high here). If I sent you a list of ~1k potential spam accounts later this week or early next, would you have the bandwidth to vet it? I think I can handle new accounts at the rate they're created, just not get through the backlog on my own.
@Infrapink sure! But the nineteen-day months are coprime to the seven-day weeks, so there's no synchronisation that gets disrupted. There's nothing like Easter where it always falls on a Sunday - it's almost always "N days after the equinox" with a couple exceptions that are "N days before the equinox" or "N days after the eighth new moon", whatever day of the week or weekend it turns out to be.
@Infrapink happy New Year to you too!
Off the top of my head, I can't think of any complaint a Baha'i would have with the days of the week changing. Baha'i dates are computed relative to the spring equinox and the eighth new moon following it. The seven-day week does exist, but it doesn't affect the placement of any holy days.

@mitch he definitely hit the nostalgia buttons there. Makes me sad for the old Flash content that never made it to modern formats, kinda like a childhood VHS you'll never view again. At some point you watched it, put it back in its cardboard sleeve, and that was the last time, only you didn't know it then.

@mitch it has one-time passwords as a second factor. What do you mean by passkeys, key-based authentication like you get in SSH? I'd like that.
@freemo historically, this is the sort of thing one used [conky](https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky) for. Maybe there's something more modern now.
@Colarusso at ten and eleven, my favourite books were Garth Nix's Abhorsen trilogy. I can't think of a reason not to recommend them.
I have an unopened soft drink can sitting in a fairly cold part of my home, and at night it's now cold enough to reduce the pressure of the carbon dioxide inside the can to almost exactly atmospheric pressure. Each time the heat cycled on or off, it caused a metallic ping as the slightly domed lid inverted to equalize the pressure.
Wasn't until this morning that I figured out where that noise was coming from.
@mitch you have to tarof a bit for politeness though.
Happy birthday @mitch!
Happy birthday @freemo!

It’s all fine as well to thank a veteran for their “service to the country”. But when was the last time you thanked an accountant in your local government for stewarding your tax dollars? When was the last time you thanked a teacher for creating a future American? When is the last time you thanked the guy that’s paving the road you drive on every day? Those folks spend their entire lives serving their country and, quite frankly, they are ignored. They all serve. Their contributions are many.

CFL is just insane.
@freemo it's great, for sure. I just have a funky network setup on account of some physical and historical limitations of the property. So I generally expect that, at some point, I'm going to have a segment of the network become unreachable until I go over with a patch cable and reconfigure some setting that got overwritten or needs to be renamed for the new version or whatever. My upgrade plan succeeding without any such contingencies feels very strange.
Just upgraded multiple nodes on my home network to the new @OpenWrt@floss.social version... and nothing broke. I did my homework and tried to avoid known pitfalls, sure - but that never happens. It feels like the laws of nature are suspended today.

Some differences between 🇺🇸 American Football and 🇨🇦 Canadian 🏈 Football:
🔸️Canadian football has 3 downs as opposed to 4
🔸️The Canadian field is larger with a playing length of 110 yards and 20 yard endzones
🔸️Canadian Football allows one more player, which must play the backfield
🔸️The entire backfield can be in motion before the snap
🔸️The goal posts are at the goal line
🔸️Kicking the ball through the end zone results in a single point, known as a Rouge. #CFLOM #GreyCup
@ceoln I tracked down why it's doing this, but it'd take a code change to fix it and I'm not really knowledgeable enough about the codebase to figure out how. It's a problem in the web frontend, so if you use something like [Halcyon](https://halcyon.cybre.space/login) or [Pinafore](https://pinafore.social) it won't show up (but then you don't get the extra features that have been added to QOTO's frontend, of course).
