I needed to switch phones after 6 years and went out and bought the cheapest entry level android A05, I can't be happier. I love me an underdog, does everything I need and it goes without saying I truly don't get expensive phones which cost around thousands if not more expensive. Also Signs You Are Getting Old
- Sent from A05 lol.- i have been looking for a phone for my dog...imbecile

- I bought that same phone as a test device and omgggggg it is painful to use. So slow and unresponsivenb
- Iphones have the destinct advantage, that they are supported longer than any smartphone out there. And you can always get it repaired...jagara
- ...they end up costing less in the long run (unless you get some of the flagships, of course). It's a more environmentally friendly choice for the same reasons.jagara
- But yeah, cheap Android phones are getting really really good :)jagara

OMG I wanna pull out what's left of my hair. 45 mins on chat with GoDaddy because after years of SFTP 22 working fine, decides will not connect today and after asking very direct questions about access and issues I expect might be causing it they refused to answer 90% of questions and set up a temp FTP 21 access that yes works but mine still doesn't no matter if pw updated etc, just a brick wall... End result was being told 5 times in a loop even though I kept confirming was NOT the case, as was connecting fine to other host server, that my specific ftp client was the issue and to contact the developer for help... what!? Even though my creds refuse to work across two separate ftp clients. I was literally like so it's fine I guess that even though I have ftp creds that are in CPANEL and are years-tested and correct etc that those should just mysteriously not work anymore and same with SFTP - that should not be used anymore either for no solid reason, just accept this reality I guess. And kept being told by tech that his new temp ftp creds works (they did but are ftp 21) use those.. like what is the problem here, forget about the actually creds that are still officially sitting their on the host account that I've always used across devices. like omg. the end.

- I half expect that suddenly 'poof!' my original sftp creds will just work again for no reason at some point b/c why not?prophetone
- was on a support call about a SQL connection to bluehost where while explaining what i knew was wrong the guy reset my db user password which also reset mykingsteven
- perms, should have been a 10 minute call. whole day lost. this shit used to be easier right?kingsteven
- Yeah it was like talking to a tiktoker... he's like nothing changed on GD side of things so must be your app... dude clearly something has changed on GDprophetone
- but def not I interested in investigating it even though clearly an issue, and would not answer simple questions even though I asked same 3 questions 3-4 timesprophetone
- I finally gave up lolprophetone
- "why cannot I no longer use my SFTP creds now?"... "sir I have set up a temp FTP login so that works fine just use that now"prophetone
- it was maddening hahaprophetone
- Wild ass guess but did you try throwing away the old sFTP certificate/ key/ whatever so it would regenerate as on a new login?monNom
- Because it’s a system auto generated sftp based on higher level creds so it’s baked in except for pw hence why is it suddenly dead for no reasonprophetone
- I asked if related to certs, ssl, anything external... they wouldn’t fully answer questions, kept insisting must be my ftp app etc lolprophetone
- I will look into forcing a refresh like you suggested, I did do that to a degree, was also reviewing ssl, but maybe I need to do more, anywayprophetone
- Wait until they charge you $20 to remove your sites from their service, which you should totally do. GD is a pig fucker!canoe

Good grief in hell, troubleshooting CORS header issues so that fonts display in Firefox is NOT HOW I WANTED TO SPEND MY DAY.

The new Detroit "letter sign" has everyone disappointed, so a local artist wrote a rap about it, pretty funny, but doesn't make up for the eyesore.

Did you know that the free version of YouTube Music lets you upload your own music? For some reason, very few people actually know this and use it.
It's great for all the stuff that isn't on streaming. I've used it for years.
- I mean, it lets you upload your own music collection, not just your own music that you made yourself :)jagara
- Even if you aren’t the content creator?monospaced
- Yes! It'll be for your own consumption only, of course.jagara
- Sounds like a playlist? but what do I know... I'm just jigalo, everywhere I gocanoe
- No dude. You can upload your own music files. No matter what they are. So that you can listen to it like you listen to Spotify.jagara
- Sometimes obscure stuff that I like isn't on Spotify (or streaming in general). So I uplad it to YT music, so I can listen to it here.jagara
- Useful if you don't want to use up space on your device, and listen by streaming it instead.jagara

the previous owners of this home must have considered clovers close enough to grass to not be bothered weeding or landscaping in any capacity
i've pulled at least 100 gallons of dandelions this week. my trashcan is full. i'm not done. :( 5-10% of that came from the neighbors yard.
mowing tomorrow will look so good when i'm done
sidenote: why do so many houses in america have that little strip of property off to the side that the neighbor doesn't mow?
so silly to see a weed line / different grass line 8 feet from the garage.
my left side yard overlaps my neighbors front yard and we both have a habit of mowing into the other's lawn. cool
my neighbor to the right thinks cutting his dandelion decorated grass is weed control. grrr

because you all care so m uch about my lawn.
this is a fairly common yard here
no, thank you
that line is noticeable
yes, please
seems neighbors I've spoken to about this all say essentially the same thing, just stay on top of it, they appear quickly and die just as fast. letting weeds propagate is bad for clover, grass, and the soil. Ideally wildgrasses that root deeper would be preferencial. but with a limit to grass height, not an opton. each has their opinion on chemicals but given the pup, i'm using vinegar, salt, or boiling water for anything I can't dig up.
this is why kentucky bluegrass is preferred here, slower growth, denser, better at retaining water
- I planted creeping thyme, moss, and other low ground cover plants. 3rd year and it’s starting to take over nicelyGnash
- i've never had a property that's not separated by a hedge or fence, that would wind me up to the point i'd just end up doing theirs.kingsteven
- i have a bit of lawn thats out of the way i use for patching dog damage then just seed the edges, it's usually blended in a couple weeks, then repeat :-|kingsteven
- lol, so many lawnpics. Have you tried Zoysia? It's what they use around golf courses and tends to be weed resistant.garbage
- Constant maintenance, and after having to deal with it through childhood, my biggest victory in life is not having a fucking yard.garbage
- But if you laid down sod, you'd never see those weeds again. Also pick the dandelions before they spread.garbage
- What kind of machine are you using on that spread? Push mower? Electric? Tractor? We gotta know!stoplying

So we're standing on a pier on San Cristobal island in the Galapagos last week. We're about 8 feet above the surf, rocks, crabs and sea lions resting on the rocks. My wife walks over and promptly drops her phone through the boards of the pier and into the rocks below. Poof. It's gone. We get down on our knees to see if we can locate it. Nada. A gentleman who works at the marina walks over seeing we're in distress, I explain in my 8th grade Spanish what happened and he walks away. Three minutes later he returns with shirtless man called Jorge who looks like he's a house painter due to the paint splattered on his back. He asks where the phone is, jumps over the railing, down on to the rocks and sticks his arm down to try to find it. Waves are crashing about every 10 seconds or so. He pulls out a plastic bag. He pulls out an empty can. Then he holds up my wife's iPhone 13 (waterproof!) and we are so relieved. The phone was totally fine, still on and working even though it had been submerged for about 15 minutes or so. We handed Jorge and the other big guy $20 each. They were psyched and we were obviously so happy. It was a needed reminder that there are still really nice people out there.
So grateful for that big man to be willing to walk over to help.- $20 is $20.palimpsest

Been using Warpcast/Farcaster for just over a week. Already made $80 worth of $degen tips I can cash out from just doing a few posts a day.
Seems to be a pretty decent vibe for artists/creatives.
It's like X but without politics/conspiracy theories/hate.
If you post something decent then folk tip you $degen. Each day, each person gets a $degen allowance. The more you engage/interact/tip the more allowance you get.Any other QBNers on there?
