Congrats, you're already a much better screen writer than anyone at Marvel.

We'll see about that... John's Pass in Pinellas county was created about 130 years around from a major hurricane. It is entirely possible that significant portions of the most prized water front property in that area won't be able to be built on or will take years of bulldozing of all those huge resorts and condos to make it possible to build.

My stance is that XMPP and Matrix are only private if you self host and don't federate. That really cuts down on who may want to use them, but it can be great for a small community, company, or family assuming you can get everyone to buy in.

This is the RSS reader I use and like it a lot, but no it does not have an export feature like that.

I don't hate all bots, I hate this bot specifically because:

  • they intentionally hide that they are a bot to evade our, and everyone else's, methods of restricting which bots we allow and how much activity we allow.
  • they do not respect the robots.txt
  • the already mentioned lack of rate limiting

I'll add another vote to how good Google Keep is for this, but as this is a privacy community, I'm not sure that is a suggestion that you want to hear.

I've also had good luck sharing documents with Syncthing, but because we tend to only have it sync on wifi it didn't work as well for groceries specifically because you can't add items to the list after the person shopping has left the home and expect them to see them.

Bullshit. This bot doesn't identify itself as a bot and doesn't rate limit itself to anything that would be an appropriate amount. We were seeing more traffic from this thing that all other crawlers combined.

We've had this thing hammering our servers. The scraper uses randomized user-agents browser/OS combinations and comes from a number of distinct IP ranges in different datacenters around the world, but all the IPs track back to Bytedance.

They generally aren't trustworthy overall, but many of those lists that have decent suggestions are just stolen content from more legit sources that don't SEO farm and get buried in search engine results.

Most grocery stores sell alcohol in Florida, but only the beer and while variety. Hard liquor is only available in liquor stores. FL is actually a lot less restricted on that than many other states.

Good question and I have a hard time nailing it down to a single pizza.

For the pizza style it has to be either New York style or Detroit Style.

For toppings, it is either pepperoni and black olives, sliced meatball and banana peppers, or rarely since most places don't make it this way, a buffalo chicken pizza with blue cheese (NOT ranch) instead of marinara and hot sauce.

That's interesting about using FreePascal for that, I didn't know there was any toolchain to compile to that SoC. I actually wrote a small set of libraries that ran on top of an existing, but very bare) SDK back in the day for writing GBA games in C. I forgot to grab it and rehost it when Google Code went away and it is now lost to time.
