  • I’ve owned 3 Subarus over the last 15 years. Drove the first two for years with 0 issues. 75k+ on both. First was a lease then buy out and was offered a great deal on the second to trade in. Only got rid of the second due to a change is need for a personal car. When I had a need again I got a third which I’m only at about 60k on but plan to drive this one as long as it’ll go. Only thing I’ve done so far outside oil changes and other routine stuff was brakes. Which I consider routine.

    Another reason is swear by them is AWD in a very snowy climate without SUV gas mileage.





  • Compartmentalize things so they all handle one thing individually and then you call those things from a main class is generally the way you’d do it.

    Splitting things up will make your classes specific to a certain functionality and allow you to keep track of everything without individual files being thousands of lines, though sometimes they will end up that way anyway to achieve a single piece of functionality.

    So for example you might have a service to call the api to get data, a service that exclusively posts to mastodon, etc.

    You can write 500 lines of code to do something in your service and hide it away but then just call it like petInfoService.getPetInfo() from your main class and when you look at the flow it’ll make a lot more sense.

    Any reason you chose typescript out of curiosity? Nothing wrong with it, just curious.

    Feel free to post code if you need help. Just make sure whatever you’re posting or uploading to git doesn’t include any API keys.


  • Agreed that 5 month wait time is wild, but 5 months from today is closer than 5 months from next week. Get the ball rolling. Set yourself up to get the help you want, you deserve to be mentally healthy. Seems you’ve already made the decision that you want some assistance which is great. There is nothing wrong with seeking outside help. I don’t dive into fixing my cars engine, I get someone who knows exactly how it works.

    Hope you have a good day today.



  • What a weird way to go about it. Knowing a small amount about chess ratings the loss or changing of title does in some ways make sense though in the way that the bar for a woman to be considered GM is lower than a man. So effectively you would have a title that may have a rating requirement higher than your pre-transition rating. I get that part…. But the rest?

    These are weird rules that really don’t need to be there and I hope too GMs speak out against this in both the male and female sections. There has been quite a bit of drama in the chess community in recent years over what is essentially gender discrimination. So another stain on chess with this one.

    Editing to add: the differing rating requirements in an intellectual game are very strange to begin with. There are many women who meet the requirements of being a GM(male) rather than a WGM and they’re a significantly smaller portion of the overall chess players

    I’ve had this issue in the past. I had to spend hours on the phone with apple support to get them to manually remove my number from the iMessage database of known numbers. Then you also have to wait for that to sync back to everyone’s devices who has you as a contact. It was awful and still didn’t fix it 100%

    This sounds like a fun project to be honest. Are there any risks involved by getting bad content through federation that’s out of your control?

    Just a week or so ago I read an article about a guy running a tor exit node personally and being held responsible for the traffic


  • Nobody is going to be able to give you a walkthrough in a post. There are a lot of concepts at play which are all going to require you get on google and start learning. You’ll inevitably run into issues that can be specifically asked about and answered but this is so general how would we even begin to give a walkthrough.

    If I had to give a spot to start I’d say look into interacting with the apis (or any apis in general) first in your desired language and then figure out some things you can do with the data you’re getting back from the calls.





  • I guess maybe the thought with pip and npm is they’re very specialized and the others are much more general. Why bloat a package manager with repositories that many will never need when you can download a specialized one for a specific need. No reason to even have access to npm if you don’t code in js or same with pip and python.

    That said a way to add those repositories to other package managers would be nice and maybe possible. I’ve never really researched it.

    But it’s like anything else, get people into your ecosystem rather than someone else’s
