I've been meaning to try Killiney Kopitiam maps.app.goo.gl/nFbMvEi8sX7m… (which opened after lockdown started), but I'm a bit skeptical of getting laksa as takeout.

In what year are you expecting New Zealand's borders to reopen to tourism?

So the answer to "Where is it?" is g.page/Momotea-Newmarket which is probably inconvenient for @sidkap_... and for me.

Yes, it does indeed look like a duck. But the USPS's new vehicle is designed for safety in a way that SUVs and trucks are not, reports @awalkerinLA trib.al/g0clOa6

Looks like it broke around 01:17 UTC on 16 February...

OK, fixed once the DNS change propagates -- the public IPv4 address of the instance changed at some point. I fixed it by allocating an Elastic IP address, which won't change, and changing the DNS.

Oh, IPv4 connections to it are broken but IPv6 is working.

Weird. Works for me, but I see other services saying it's down. I changed the DNS records on January 20. New ones are: IN A 3.86.177.73 IN AAAA 2600:1f18:6274:5700:b034:bb1f:77d7:3d81 Maybe something's up with AWS?

I feel like getting keys duplicated is one of the times I don't want a mailing address or other identifying information associated with the purchase.

There's a sign @overholt made that I was supposed to hang in the Mountain View office... at a time when I basically never went to Mountain View (I was in SF). It's still rolled up somewhere... I think in the box of stuff I have from when I packed up my Mozilla desk.

I thought it was @overholt. Or maybe that was a different sign?

Which one? I put up the "must be this tall to use multithreaded code" one.

I wrote about the problem with electric cars that nobody talks about: They're cars. It's great that we're getting cleaner cars. Yay us! But the issue with American transport isn't gas-fueled cars, it's car-dependent lives. Let's think beyond the car. nytimes.com/2021/02/18/opini…

Last year, a man unable to navigate the Dept. of Building Inspection permitting system threatened to kill himself. But this man is a *permit expediter.* Negotiating this system is his job. And he couldn't do it. Who can? Latest from @esksf missionlocal.org/2021/02/san…
