@npub1khx…geyg what roles was he famous for when he made his appearance? Darth Vader? He looks quite young, I'm not sure kids would know him as anyone else.

I read that the CUPS exploit requires the hacker to be physically inside your printer, otherwise the CVSS score would've been 14.

PLUMS!
What do do with 'em? I've got about 60kg. Made wine. Made various sauces and jams. Ate quite a few.
If you're in the #ottawa area and want some, DM me ASAP. They are peaking and won't last long.

2024-09-01 17:00:21

About 5 shopping bins of plums from 1 tree. Each weighs about 60lbs.
It hasn't had a crop like this for years. I think it was planning on a heavy crop 2 years ago, but that was an early spring with almost no bees. Last summer was a light year. So it went crazy this year.
Plum wine coming up! Maybe some plum brandy too.

Seems to be an increase in quack cure advertising on TV lately. "Liver pills" and "herbal hair regrowth" tonic.
Making unsubstantiated health claims.
Snake oil.
Government keeps allowing the line between snake oil and medicine to blur, and then wonders how the anti-vax movement finds so many suckers.

A future feature for Mastodon would be to detect the language of a post, and offer the translate link if it doesn't match the viewer's language tags.
Often, posters are posting in language that doesn't match the post's language tag, so the translate link isn't offered, because Mastodon thinks it's in the viewer's language.
