That’s a relief!

The Isle of Skye is bleak.

It’s not even that it’s low-tech. Tape is high-tech, it’s been updated over the years. LTO10s are targeting 36TB of data per tape.

It’s the pig-ignorant newbies thinking “hurr durr tapes are 1970s tech”. Hard drives are also 1970s tech.

They have their advantages and disadvantages, is all. They’re not well suited for situations where you can’t guarantee a clean room (or enclosed tape reader), for instance, since the tape medium is exposed to the air. Dust can mess it up REAL good.

But for some situations, it’s indispensable.

Honestly I don’t care enough. If I happen to be in the interface I’ll probably turn it off, sure. It doesn’t inform any decisions, I barely register that the number exists.

Perhaps not. My subjective experience of my Withings scale is that the reported fat percentage has at least remained where I’ve expected given my general activity level. ie, fat percentage goes up when I’m sedentary, down when I’m active.

But it’s more a curiosity than a useful metric regardless.

They’re not accurate but I think they can at least track trends consistently. A clock that’s five hours ahead still tells you how much time has passed relative to itself. Similarly a scale might tell you what direction your fat level is trending.

Wouldn’t the authentication API provided by your DNS host be the ACME server?

I can only wish you good luck.

Aren’t IRAs a US tax account? Like the Canadian TFSA.

I didn’t make any such claims. Though arguably what you consider junk food and what I consider junk food may be completely different. I have no interest in digging down into that.

Yes, flour has some trace simple sugar in it. I only said I don’t add sugar to mine. Yeast will happily break down starches into simple sugars, and the end result will have some sugar. The exact percentage will depend on fermentation time.

The Irish case had bread reaching 10% by weight flour of sugar. They certainly added it.

Yeah. For wildcard DNS from letsencrypt, you can’t do HTTP validation, only DNS, which involves creating a TXT record.

Your DNS provider needs to run an ACME server, which runs an API that’ll add the required TXT records on request.

As I understand it.

I make 2 big bread loaves every week, and have literally never put sugar in it. Salt and flour, sourdough starter, water. That’s it.

The case they’re specifically talking about is an instance in Ireland where Subway was sued about their bread containing enough sugar to be classified, under Irish law, as cake, not bread.

Not all dns providers support acme, I’ve discovered to my recent annoyance. The one I use at work, for instance.

Yeah, we’ve got on-prem cloud hosting at a university, and moving away from VMware is an ongoing process. Still. Two, three years after the writing was on the wall. They’d rather pay the Danegeld.

Or they’ll just pay the extra money and avoid all that.

Based on a recent experience, dried flaxseeds are like concrete.
