I wonder what perks each class gives you. I chose both IT person and railfan but so far it seems I've only unlocked negative effects like the stupid "Fix the printer" side quest triggering way too often.

I don't really get what you're saying. JS doesn't throw on out-of-bounds array access and instead returns undefined, even in Strict mode. Obviously TypeScript needs to match the actual behavior with the typing.

const arr = [];
arr[5]; // undefined

As for the translation of the lyrics, Genius has them explained in detail. The lyrics are in heavy dialect and some of it are total nonsense.

Android wants to automatically add a "." to the end of a sentence if I double space too fast

If using GBoard, that can be disabled in settings. I don't know anyone who actually uses that feature, I don't know why it's enabled by default.

One of the reasons why videos don't work well in Lemmy is that many instances have not configured their setup correctly for video streaming.

Depends on how strict the rules are. If I'm allowed to grab my camping gear, theoretically I could last a long time. But strictly speaking, it's not something I can just grab on the way out, and obviously I would need to pack it too.

Assuming the first scenario, the next immediate issue would be water. It's very hot here right now, so I would need to find a reliable source of water, and fast. Realistically, initially my only option would be to drink from lakes. Without a water filter, there's always a risk of contamination, but I could start boiling my drinking water once I get a fire going.

The second issue would be food. I know nothing about hunting, and I'm a very inexperienced fisher too, plus I don't have any gear for it. My only options would be berries, and maybe trying to make a crude fishing rod out of a tree branch and string and hoping to get lucky. I don't trust myself enough to touch any mushrooms unless it's an absolute last resort.

In the long run, I think food would be the biggest problem. Most likely I would starve to death long before winter. If I somehow managed to sort out the food situation, I could try to find a protected spot for the winter and gather tons of firewood. My thickest sleeping bag is only rated for -10°C, and it gets as low as -30°C at least once each winter here, but with a fire and a sheltered spot, I think it would be survivable. But then again, food would be an even bigger issue during winter.

The management at work is always pestering me about how we could improve our developers' performance... :3
Obviously the company would need to invest in some new hardware first. Or maybe BYOD would be better in this case..

[...] the video started off being called "Adam's Favorite Mask" and he changed it to the current title. I love it.

Further notes about Adam + Furry over the years:

  • when asked The "What animal would you be?" Question: "Without a doubt my fursona is a lion."
  • knew the word "fursuit" while repairing a Totoro costume
  • Maker and a technologist for 30+ years in the San Francisco Bay Area, worked at ILM, has been to dozens of cosplay conventions, and his dad was a cartoonist. Ain't no way he didn't know :P
 

From today until March 15, 2026, the maximum lifetime for a TLS certificate is 398 days.

As of March 15, 2026, the maximum lifetime for a TLS certificate will be 200 days.

As of March 15, 2027, the maximum lifetime for a TLS certificate will be 100 days.

As of March 15, 2029, the maximum lifetime for a TLS certificate will be 47 days.

What's everyone's opinion on this? I think from a security standpoint their reasoning is valid and in many cases it's very easy to automate the renewal with ACME or something else. But there's likely gonna be legacy stuff still around in 2029 that won't be easy to automate.

 

Finland headed to the polls on Sunday to elect thousands of councillors in a range of local and regional bodies.

The Social Democrats took a big win in the municipal elections, taking nearly one in four votes nationwide to push the National Coalition Party of Prime Minister Petteri Orpo into second place.

In the county council elections, for 21 regional bodies that arrange social and healthcare outside Helsinki, the SDP also topped the poll. The Centre Party recorded a good result in its rural heartlands to secure third spot.

Government parties did poorly, with all but the NCP losing support compared to the previous municipal elections in 2021. Turnout in the municipal election was 54.2 percent, while the county elections saw 51.7 percent of eligible voters cast their ballots.

The dual vote for municipal and county councils caused logistical issues for election officials, with counting slower than usual for Finland, where large numbers vote in advance and results are usually clear within a couple of hours of polls closing.

The Finns Party saw support collapse compared to the last municipal election, with the party nearly halving its vote from four years ago. They lost support in several towns that are seeing hospital services cut back as part of the central government's savings drive.

 

National Coalition Party candidate Alexander Stubb is set to become Finland's next president on 1 March, beating independent (but supported by the Greens) candidate Pekka Haavisto.

I voted for Haavisto but think that Stubb will be a excellent president too. They both are very experienced in foreign policy, pro-EU and very strong supporters of Ukraine. In fact, the press had to dig real hard to find any differences between them, the most major one being their stance on how Finland should respond (to very theoretical situation) if NATO wanted to store nuclear weapons in Finland or transport them via our territory.
