  • For some egg uses – baking

    Depending on what, exactly, you’re doing here you don’t necessarily need eggs.

    There’s a shocking amount of shit that’ll react the same was as eggs - the liquid from chickpeas, flaxseed, applesauce, banana, arrowroot powder, soy protien powder, even freaking tofu - in a lot of recipies, so it may be worth figuring out why eggs are in the recipie and find an alternative that’ll end up doing the same thing.




  • I wouldn’t argue with the dude; he’s got a clear case of bad-faith-itis. What you did was bad, so you shouldn’t have done it, but no I won’t tell you how to fix it.

    The absolute best you could have done is cross-posted to a Mastodon/Bluesky/whatever account as well, but you can’t just always go around yanking the rug out underneath communities especially if you’re in a position where it’s not just lazy shitposting and worthless commentary.

    …that said, you have moved anything you can to being posted somewhere in tandem riiiiiiight?


  • As with all things email, they probably really wanted to make sure that the mails were delivered and thus were using a commercial MTA to ensure that.

    I’d wager, even at 20 or 30 or 40k a year, that’s way less than it’d cost to host infra and have at least two if not three engineers available 24/7 to maintain critical infra.

    Looking at my mail, over the years I’ve gotten a couple hundred email from them around certificates and expirations (and other things), and if you assume there’s a couple million sites using these certs, I could easily see how you’d end up in a situation where this could scale in cost very very slowly, until it’s suddenly a major drain.




  • I logged in a few months ago to deal with something with my Quest, and holy shit.

    I didn’t follow many people, but every post was some AI generated sexy-single-in-my-area nonsense trying to convince me that I need to call them right now for the hot sex, or something.

    It was fucking bizarre and I’m utterly confused as to what in the hell is going on, since if they’re showing me that shit, you know they’re shoveling it at everyone too? Like, I cannot fathom why anyone would willingly put up with that shit for cat pictures or whtaever the hell boomers use it for.



  • Came here to follow up with this.

    I don’t care what magic beans my email provider wants to sell, at the end of the day they’re only able to do encryption within their own server which is pointless.

    Anyone who thinks email is not immediately plain-text when they hit the send button (because, frankly, it is) is suffering from some weird marketing-induced delusion, or just plain doesn’t understand that proton encrypting something, or SSL in transit is not going to do a single damn thing to improve security.

    Sure my copy of an email is all nice and secure, but the other copy of it almost certainly not, unless you use something like GPG to force the contents to be transmitted encrypted, and fucking nobody uses GPG outside of very limited situations.



  • My bias makes me immediately think that anything they’re claiming should be considered suspect.

    Frankly, if an antivaxxer told me the sky was blue, I’d go outside to check.

    This is a case where you should find a second or third source making the same claims, as well as a better source that says how much and specifically what was found in the cookies because it’s entirely possible to have dangerous things in something but at levels that are not actually dangerous, and I see no specific units being claimed anywhere.

    And I mean, glyphosphate is something we’ve sprayed on every inch of the globe at this point anyways and is on every single thing you’re going to eat, so sure, it’s bad, but it’s only bad at certain concentrations. (It’s Roundup)
