Reddit -> Beehaw until I decided I didn’t like older versions of Lemmy (though it seems most things I didn’t like are better now) -> kbin.social (died) -> kbin.run (died) -> fedia.
Japan-based backend software dev and small-scale farmer.
I used to work in healthcare IT until around 2008ish. Various clinics had things running on 3.11, 95, 98, etc.
For the 3.11 case, it was only controlling the door card/lock system IIRC and was not otherwise on the network, but some of the others, less so. We didn’t have direct control over the sites’ decisions and couldn’t really enforce anything so us removing them was not possible. We did everything we could to convince the site mgmt, of course.
Player? Easy. Scarf? Easy. Wearing a scarf? That depends on a lot of factors such as which part of the body, how the models were made and rigged, etc.
Granted. All door animations are now forced cutscenes.
Born? US. I’ve been living for the last decade in Japan.
Japan has it (and, more recently, paternity leave), but using it can be harder. Old companies try to pull all kinds of BS to deny it or change the woman’s job or such. It’s getting better and enforcement is cracking down but, as with all things here, it moves slowly.
It’s 2025 and I have no idea what the current way to center something is. Then again, my job is that of a backend engineer so it’s rare I’m outputting anything that isn’t a log statement. They can pry tables and center tags from my cold, aging hands.
You can look into mbin. I prefer it to lemmy, personally.
Japan still stubbornly holds on as well. Insta eventually started to take over some things from Twitter, but tons of stuff is still there. I created a BlueSky for the small business I’m starting here in Japan and my wife asked me what that was and why no twitter.
The first time someone told me about mbin/lemmy, I had that exact issue and just gave up on it for a few months. This is especially true as there doesn’t really exist any account migration (nor, probably, can there be one without any kind of centralized auth server or the like). I finally did move over, but two of the instances I used just shut down, one with basically no warning.
I would note that vacationing somewhere and living there are two different things. I came to Japan a few times before moving here (and failed my first time at living here due to visa issues). Even after moving, there’s a honeymoon period and things eventually just become normal. In other words, there are two things to keep in mind: don’t over-hype anywhere and build it up too much in your head or you’re asking for trouble and any problems you that aren’t physically confined to your home will follow you eventually so be sure to work on that separately.
That said, it’s certainly possible to move across the world. Break any goal down into achievable chunks of individual items that need to be done and track progress against that. Good luck!
What is the execution path? What indexes are being hit? What are the keys? Can you separate things by, for example, category since dupes wouldn’t typically exist there? There are lots of potential things that might tell you more or improve performance, but this is super vague.
Most soy sauce contains gluten and almost everything contains soy sauce. So, it’s actually somewhat difficult if that tiny amount causes issues. The good news, though, is that food labeling laws are pretty good for stuff you buy yourself, so looking for 小麦 on labels to avoid them works. A lot of people do struggle, though. Most of the Japan-focused subreddits never moved over here, but they do contain threads about the topic as well if you search.
Gluten free. It’s not confirmed fully, but I probably have Celiac as one of my parents does and a DNA test said I was a carrier of at least one known mutation. In Japan, there’s not treatment so getting it fully verified would involve adding gluten back to the diet for weeks, being miserable, and getting nothing but higher life insurance premiums. I miss good bread.
I also don’t drink much dairy as it upsets my stomach in large doses. Cheese is mostly fine (at least for ones without a ton of lactose). I pay for, but still sometimes eat, ice cream on occasion.
Other than that, I try to avoid most processed things. Not 100%, but a lot of what I eat is single-ingredient or homemade.
reduce the flourishes and/or add more spacing between lines and it would be a lot more readable.
Breakfast for dinner, but my breakfast is usually roughly the same thing anyway
I love that no where in their ‘Summary’ section do they mention testing. Test everything. Watch how many times the upload hits. Test from different devices. Test over more than a day.
I never messed with assembly on the C64. I’ve actually considered trying to buy one just to mess with it and relive a bit of my youth (and also get that lovely SID chip and its sounds). My C64 days were mostly playing existing games and messing about with BASIC.
It’s actually one of the first projects I ever did back in the '90s. I was poor and didn’t have any kind of laptop so I wrote C code on paper and put it into a computer when I had access. So many mistakes. Fun experience, though.
I hate the way it sounds but, at the same time, it is simpler and more regular.
Someone would have to look at and understand the existing code and infrastructure rather than just throwing it all away and writing a data migration. In other words, it would never happen.
