    Proton and its services have been pretty good. Some things to know about proton mail:

    • Search is only for titles, as content is encrypted
    • You can do search in the body in your browser. It downloads your email into the browser and searchers locally. It takes a while to do this and build up indexes. I haven't had too much issue searching for things though.
    • Since they don't read your email, no automatic calendar events if there isn't a .ics

    The VPN had been great

    The storage isn't enough for me to be able to move off of my main cloud provider. There also isn't a way to pin a file on Android for it - and the 500gGB of space is less than I use

    The Pass app is handy and it's easy to make aliases, though it often doesn't know to fill in, doesn't do it, or something, and I need to open the app to copy paste. Pretty trivial though.

    I'm sticking with them. I don't really have a reason to leave. The aliases are really nice, the catch is that it's not easy to have them go to a sub email address that I use - it has to go to your primary email. Not a huge deal though.

It's a power cube with 3 ac slots + 2 USBA + 1USBC with surge protection, etc. It's much more compact than what I was using before and since the cable is flexible, it effectively uses less space in the bag. I overbought and went with the 10' cable, but the 6' should be fine.

    One thing to know about transactions is that they track data and then write it. It's not the opening that slows it down. I have a question though, what is your source data? Do you have a big CSV for something? Can you do a db to db transfer instead? There's another tool called the BCP utility.

    Edit: SQL server/ssms have tools for doing migrations and batch imports

    I've done a lot of work and no, that is not normal.

    A few things: First - SQL server has tools for migrating data that's pretty fast. SQL bulk copy can use some of these. Check to see if the built in db tools are better for this.

    SQL bulk copy can handle way more than 15,000 records

    Why are you wrapping a data dump in a transaction? That will slow things down for sure.

    You generally shouldn't be doing huge queries like that to where you're nearing the parameter limit.

    Can you share the code?

    It looked like it was a combination with that and the chemical they washed it with. Also, for this particular product, it isn't healthy to use the sulfur treatment, it seems. The producers said something to the effect of, "we know this will cause problems for people, but the fruit is prettier and we get better prices for them".

    The news company said that they tested them as well and found them to be toxic.

    That depends on the use. Are you using it as a productive business for profit or just something you like, maybe even for sure side money. Are you hiring employees to work it for you? Once you make it a mode of production it's considered a privately owned means of production. If it's something you just have, it's personal property.

    That's the gist anyway. These are actual, defined terms and not just things people throw around on the internet. If you want something more specific, doing a search will probably get a better explanation than I'm good at giving.

    When they say "private property" they are not referring to the people's toothbrush, but the private ownership of production. Houses and such are "personal property".

    “Old age” must be redefined and retirement ages raised so that living longer doesn’t mean retiring longer on workers’ taxes, particularly for wealthy retirees. After all, longer lives for most people should mean more productive years.

Maybe I got lazy, maybe my mouth is moving weird, but it happens. It comes back eventually.

    I keep breaking the game by hiding - hag spoilers

    Edit: trying to figure out the spoiler tag...sorry Edit 2: I tried three ways and nothing worked, but spoilers below I've run into a lot of times where needed things don't trigger bc I'm hiding spoiler hag >! For example, when rescuing Mayrina the first time, I snuck past them and tried to talk to her, which triggered the cutscenes and hag transformation. Combat was supposed to start, but didn't. So I went into the fireplace thinking that was a good escape route and into the lair, where she, in hag form, told me I shouldn't be sneaking around and to leave, but with the normal lady's voice. Then, when rescuing from the cage, I used the druids thorn whip to yang Mayrina down. Combat triggered and she acting like she was still in the cage instead of running through the open door behind us. I tried a second time and she ran through, but disappeared. When I went back, she was outside the cage. I thought she was the hag bc she had 0 damage, so I cast blindness on her and she ran...somewhere. Also, the hag never rendered, but I could see her vision outline. Anyway, now I think I actually have to fight the hag. I read something about a water trick, so I'll try that was well. But jeez, with all the warnings to run away from a hag, I thought I'd be able to do that. Of course leaving an angry hag alive is no good, so 🤷‍♂️!<

    Travel Tip - Maps (Moovit)

    Google maps doesn't always have good data for transit. Another option is the app Moovit. It's served me well in Latin America. I'm also trying out Organic Maps and OsmAnd, which are Open Maps apps, but I can't really comment on them yet. The only catch with transit directions in apps is they'll often have bus numbers, but the buses here have signs for the neighborhoods they go through or the final stop, which makes things tricky, especially since you're trying to read the sign while the bus is moving.

    Hey there! I recently got server banned b/c I was sharing a link in men's communities and I was mistaken for a bot. I didn't have a way to respond to the ban. I was just logged out. I didn't see a link or even which mod did the ban so that I could reply to them, but then I couldn't get into my account to reply anyway. It'd be nice to maybe get a "if you think this was in error" email or something. Although I know that if lemmy was the size of reddit, people would hook that email up to chatgpt, so :/ Anyway, it'd be a nice feature to have. I doubt I'll need it again, but I was quite confused as to what to do.
