Any suggestions?

I have a PWA frontend that needs to work with no network access sometimes. I have a backend that provides auth tokens as http-only cookies.

If a user tries to log out while not connected to the network, there's no way to clear those cookies, right? I'd have to wait until the next time I had network and then ask my server to log me out.

@CursedSilicon it might be to issue warnings to your computer when the power goes out so that your computer can safely shut down before the UPS power fails. Or, idk, just for charging phones.

In general, I find Neyyah’s aesthetic charmingly retro. The dithered graphics, the icon cursors, the unreadable text.

But the fact that loading a game from the home screen also lets you save over an existing save, creating a save that just loads you to the main menu with zero progress…. Is really frustrating. It would be a cute quirk if it wasn’t for the nonsense of save slots meaning I now save my game twice just to make sure I don’t lose progress again.

@dr_a oh, I’m pretty sure I got something like this, almost word-for-word, but targeted at PA residents.

@FeloniousPunk Acetic acid powder. Moisture is always going to be the enemy of crisp. Then yeah, some sort of powdered dill, maybe just blitzing the dried stuff in a food processor would work.

@Remittancegirl @petroskoi I’m pretty sure all of the cheap ones work the exact same way, and they work really well! They rely on the phase change of water to control temperature, and as liquid water is driven off/absorbed by the rice, the temp goes up. The click of them turning off is a magnet losing its grip as it climbs the Curie curve. Their calibration can outlast, say, the plastic power cable attachment point that failed on mine after a decade. :)

@petroskoi @Remittancegirl I had to put some rice on a timer for lunch after all this.

@Remittancegirl I could have written these words, especially after buying a zojirushi.

@s what was that vine that was like “when the neighbors arguing” and it was someone doing anything they could to casually eavesdrop, including vacuuming a tree? That’s what you saw.
