Paying for the first date (piefed.jeena.net)

So I'm from Europe and went on a business trip to South Korea. I haven't been dating much but installed a dating app thinking why the hell not. Anyway, I matched with one woman and we start talking and it gets deep quickly and after a couple of days she gets impatient that I didn't suggest to meet up so she suggests it. We meet up in a Korean sashimi restaurant and I talk most of the time - I guess because she is self conscious of her English - but she listens actively and it's really nice.

Once we're done we stand up, she gets her coat and I walk to the counter to pay (you don't pay at the table in Korea). Suddenly I realize she somehow already payed! I low key panic, it's the first date and I'm supposed to pay, what is going on? Korea, what are you doing, what is going on? I try to explain to her that this is not how it's supposed to be but she just brushes it off and we go out for coffee (which I pay, this is another custom in Korea that if one pays for the food, the other pays for the coffee afterwards) and for a long romantic walk by the river.

Anyway, this was four years ago and last months was our wedding and our son is 22 moth old and we and her daughter all live as a happy little family here in Korea.

Oh man congrats!

I remember when mine told me she is pregnant, I was so happy I wanted to jump!

After coming back from a year of parental leave I didn't lose my job.

My previous project came to an end just before I went on parental leave and the company couldn't secure new projects locally.

But because I was involved ipartially in a different department before, that department secured a internal budget for me as a Subject Matter Expert.

Now I'm advising on that topic and was also brought in to a big internal project, so my job is secured for some time now.

For me it's extra difficult because I moved to a different country and have a really hard time learning the language, which is a must to get a different job here.

That a win for the whole health industry, think of all the people you will now need to treat of Polio, measles, tetanus and so on not to mentions all the grave diggers! This is a job creation machine! /s

Just FYI; Twitter and Reddit had API usage available free of charge for more than a decade too.

I'm born in Poland to Polish parents, but all their parents were born Germans. I moved to Germany when I was 11 and when someone asked me then I said I'm German. But then I moved to Sweden for 15 years, while there I would also say I'm German. I got the Swedish citizenship but you still can hear that I'm not a native Swede, but only Swedish people can hear it. So once I moved to Korea 4 years ago I used my Swedish passport to get in to the country (it was not on purpose but random chance, I could have chosen the polish one or the German one too). Anyway, if someone in Korea asks me where I'm from or what I am I almost always say I'm Swedish. with one exception, if a German here in Korea asks me then I say I'm German.

I know it's a bit easier for me because I look like I could be from any of those countries, but my identity is not tied to some specific geographic area so I have no problem being a geographical-identity-cameleon.

Honestly I thought it was a fake story because of how they presented themselves while doing in on a very niche fediverse platform like Lemmy where practically only people end up who are very interested in technology, politics, freedom, etc. All topics which require quite a degree of abstract thinking and knowledge.

So even if this IQ number were correct, which I have a hard time to believe because if how eloquent they use language and how analytic they see their life, it probably has no base in reality but was a test fluke.

That's an interesting idea, need to check if they offer some kind of a API for that.

But then there is this other thing, what about dns cache?

The cat scratched my wife while she was trying to groom him.

 

I have always been struggling to move big files from my Android phone to my Linux laptop. KDE connect is kind of working but is kind of cumbersome to set up on gnome with the extension that every now and then is incompatible. It also often loses the connection and you need to set it up again and then you forgot how to even get the UI for it because it's not an app but a gnome extension, etc. very cumbersome.

But I just saw that every android phone already has QuickShare build in to the sharing button. And now I saw that there is a Linux implementation of it and it's super nice that it's just an app. It looks a bit awkward because it's not a gnome application but other than that it works really nice.

Ah wait, there is one which is close, Indian chai, it's so flavorful!

One more notable is marrokean peppermint tea, but it's just to sweet.

Sleep vs No sleep (piefed.jeena.net)

Do you guys, who have a espresso machine at home, really want to drink a espresso late in the evening, or night for that matter?

 

I subscribe to really many communities to always have some new content to look at. I also have some communities which I'm particularly interested in which sadly are quite low volume like !korea@lemmy.funami.tech !vaeter@feddit.org and !piefed_meta@piefed.social The problem is now that I most of the time miss posts from those communities because they are such low volume.

In Mastodon I have the same problem, but there I was able to create a new column which I call Homies and it shows posts from a list of manually selected users from whom I don't want to miss any post.

I was thinking that something like that would be interesting to have, like we have the filters "Subscribed", "Local", "Popular", "All" I would imagine a "Favorites" one which would show only the posts from my favorite communities.

As a workaround for now I am letting PieFed to notify me of new posts in the four communities so I don't miss anything. How do you guys deal with this problem?

 
 

I run my HomeAssistant on a RaspberryPi 4 from a SD card. Two days ago I did a upgrade to the newest version (I don't remember if it was HomeAssistant or the Operating System) and since then it does not boot anymore.

I connected it via HDMI to a screen and got those errors:

It looks to me that the SD card is corrupted or something. Any idea if I can fix it in any way or do I need to redo the setup from scratch?

 
 

The Israeli government did not tamper with the Hezbollah devices that exploded, defense and intelligence officials say. It manufactured them as part of an elaborate ruse.

 

I was excited to learn about two new terminal emulator app which seemed to have a lot of cool new features, warp and wave. Then I looked closer and found that both are a no go for me.

Warp is closed source and you need to create an account to use your terminal. Jebus Christus, no, thanks, but no.

Wave is an Electron app. While that's better than not having a Linux version, I've seen how Electron apps behave. They are the ones which hog all memory and get killed by the OS first. So that's a no from me too.

I guess I keep my Tilix for now.

 

My dads brother visited us one time - when I was around 7 years old - and they sent me to bed and watched a movie together on TV. I'm not sure where my mom was, perhaps taking care of my little brother, but I quietly went down the stairs and saw them watching the movie, and I stayed very quietly so they would not know I'm there.

It was a Bruce Lee movie, "The Big Boss (1971)". In that movie Bruce works at a ice factory and his boss kills some people and puts them into the ice. That's not the worst of it. They then have those big ice blocks and a big blade saw and that saw cuts the big blocks into smaller peaces. It also cuts those bodies in the ice blocks into smaller pieces.

I couldn't believe what I saw and went back upstairs and couldn't fall asleep. I never told my parents.
