  • I get them regularly, no one can explain why. Both hamstrings same time, I’m 6’ 7" mostly legs. I usually get them in the middle of the night. Pain doesn’t phase me, but when I pull both hamstrings I start crying because the pain is unbelievable. I stand up as quickly as possible support my body and try to stretch my legs. My wife starts freaking out because I usually wake up with a scream. For the next 15 mins it’s the worst pain imaginable while I plead to the darkness for the pain to stop. 15 mins later I’m back to normal. Like it never happened. I hate it.




  • Most Commonwealth countries, Canada is different because of our close connection with the US.

    There’s a group of Indians near me who play cricket every weekend so sometimes I’ll go by and bother them. “You’re playing the game wrong, you know. Have you guys never watched baseball before?” They’re always super nice and will spend ages explaining everything about the sport. They have a level of zeal for the sport which cannot be matched by even us hockey fans. Last summer we went down to the Galapagos and our group was mostly Brits and I would wait until late in the evening after they had started drinking and ask if they play soccer over there, and that is just as much fun to me.


    1. Fixed credential-exfiltration risk in /api/proxy/image: Previously the endpoint could:
    • accept arbitrary auth_id
    • load stored API keys
    • forward them to attacker-controlled URLs
    1. Enforced outbound host allowlist globally Previously:
    • allowlist existed
    • but outgoingFetch() didn’t enforce it
    • plugins/engines could bypass it
    1. Fixed extension store path traversal Previously a malicious store manifest could:
    • inject … paths
    • escape install directories
    • reference arbitrary files
    1. Hardened proxy IP trust Previously:
    • rate limiting trusted any X-Forwarded-For header
    • clients could spoof their IP
    1. Fixed inconsistent settings authentication Previously:
    • settings UI stored an auth token
    • but the settings modal didn’t send it when saving
    1. Implemented Improved proxy deployment support
    • Added proxy-aware behavior:
    • DEGOOG_PUBLIC_BASE_URL for canonical URLs
    • secure cookie handling when X-Forwarded-Proto=https

    Additional Improvements:

    • suggestion fetching hardened
    • DuckDuckGo suggestion parsing fixed
    • unified outbound request handling
    • install state guard properly cleaned up

    Made some other changes for my specific deployment. Very happy with your work so far. Thanks so much






  • I normally do full sized bars considering how many people we get on average. I normally buy them at Costco Business and it looks like they’re still priced the same. Prices at regular Costco are similar to what I remember of last year too.

    We probably make most of our chocolate here. In the area around where I work there are at least 4 Mondelez plants. I know Mars has a few plants in or around the GTA as well.


  • I installed Mint on my buddies computer yesterday and the install defaulted to ext4, and then had the audacity to have “Enable Backups” in the welcome dialog and only have RSYNC available.

    It gave me the option to do my own partitions during setup but every time I clicked the link to do so the installer would hang. My buddy started getting nervous so I just left it on default. But I was very annoyed that I couldn’t easily just switch to BTRFS.


  • Yup, with ya brother. I have Microsoft certifications dating back to NT4. I’ve never been bothered by anything Microsoft has done, with the possible exception of WinME. I have done thousands of installs for friends and family. When MS started actively preventing me from installing W11 to “older” hardware and requiring a login, I started looking into Linux. I had run Slackware in the 90s so figured Arch couldn’t be that bad… It was actually easier than I remembered.

    That was 2 years ago. This past weekend my Dad had somehow been force upgraded even though I had group policies in place to prevent upgrades past 22H2, and he wasn’t happy with the result. Brought Linux Mint, booted from the USB and asked him to do everything he normally does on Windows. Almost all of his activities are browser based so I installed it and have yet to get any calls asking questions.
