Pretty disappointing that the web didn't end up getting a standard way of adding context menus to a page.

Ahhhhh. Simulating network failures with precise timing is such a pain in the ass.

I need to simulate sending data, it being queued up in the TCP buffer and the connection dying before the buffer is flushed. In Node.js 😭 Pausing transform streams doesn't seem to do the trick. Might have better luck with a funky duplex.

@migratory we need goo pipes supplying all our goo powered machines in every house. Like the flesh furnaces and meat materializers.

@grumpygamer imagine if you could only call people if they had the same provider as you.

Remember kids, if you still feel intense bloodlust after having a snack and drinking water it means it's time to blast some funky music and clean the house till it goes away.

Makes me sad that isn't officially supported on iGPUs. Like, it'll kinda run, but then it's likely to crash my window manager and freeze my machine. Sadly the stuff I want to use doesn't have vulkan support yet.

It worked out! I have practice from attending several talks during the online OurNetworks conf a few years ago :P
