I don’t think these times are right 😅 The last one probably did take 15 minutes to figure out (I’d put “box” in originally).

I did look it up after posting, and thought this one explained it better:

What is moe?

The word “moe” (in Japanese: “萌え”; pronounced as “moh-ay”) is a slang word rooted deep in the Japanese Otaku culture. It has often been used to mean a particular type of “adorable” or “cute” towards fictional characters, people, animals, etc.

With the resources e.g. Five Eyes have, you’d think that being visible on satellite while spoofing your location would be a telltale red flag that draws unwanted attention.

My laptop doesn’t have stickers all over it, but this could be my gateway sticker.

I think that’s the first time I’ve seen the .moe TLD outside catbox. What even is it, I just think of the bartender from the Simpsons.

I don’t know much about using the Synology, can you do the normal debugging things like docker exec -it joplincontainer sh to get a shell?

Are the security settings allowing outbound connections? Can the Joplin container resolve the DNS? I’m assuming you’re using an externally provided SMTP server, or is it hosted on the NAS/on your LAN too?

And have you tried those exact connection details on a different device from your house, or ideally from the NAS (with the exec sh/bash command from earlier)?

openssl s_client -connect smtp.provider.net:465 is a handy command for testing the low level connection; you should see some SSL connection debug followed by something like 220 s1.provider.net ESMTP Postfix.

I learnt it as BODMAS (brackets, orders, division and multiplication, addition and subtraction).

Edit: I see we’re repeating points from the earlier posts down there 👇 (with default sort).

Have you seen the footage of scientists feeding them from their own arms? Nooope, not for all the tea in China.

I’m currently living somewhere hot enough that the little pricks are a bother all year round.

It confused me, because they put “but” as in except, not “butt” as in bumhole.

It’s there and showing 12 days. I’m currently beating you.

I have faith that your bot will work! Cheers for organising this again, and thanks for the heads up about the shorter event. I assume the compressed schedule means that the difficulty will ramp up quicker, but we will see.

(btw, you’ve swapped the order of the [ ] and ( ) in your link)

I enjoy the contradiction of middleend

They’re called “Arabic numerals” because the system was transmitted to Europe through medieval Arabic scholars, but they are universal

Funny thing is the Indo-Arabic/Hindu-Arabic numerals aren’t the only ones used in Arabic-speaking countries. I’ve seen prices like ٣٥٠ (350) in places like Jordan and Egypt. Here’s a chart:

I would say the familiar 0-9 system is understood globally, but I don’t know about those Alpha Centaurians.

Given that the internet is a series of tubes, it’s a better mnemonic since the pipe connection will help you remember it.

Yup, as long as 6.5 is pronounced “six and a half” because “six point five” is too modern for old money.

Edit: and ha’penny is pronounced HAYP-nee /h ɛ́j p n ɪj/

I do that (but only for one hand), and I’ve also associated months with each segment.

I had to think how you got to 156 instead of 12² but not for too long.
