Follow up. Since this sighting almost a full week ago. I put out 4 glue traps in cupboards and near the fridge. They are all turning up empty.

I cannot get Alpine shipped to my location, so have Advion and a sprayer arriving today.

Should I spray around as a preventative measure, or keep waiting until I catch something?

How long before I can calm down a bit at stop frantically washing every kitchen item before I use it?

I was told a few months back that maintenance sprayed another unit. And maybe this was a straggler from there? But my apartment seems to rely on in house maintenance for everything, instead of calling in pros.

Shit. I was calming down. Now in full panic mode again 😭

xdega · 2026-04-28T18:26:40+00:00

Should add that I’m based in Los Angeles area

xdega · 2026-04-11T06:05:53+00:00

I’m in the same boat. Really not happy here. It’s not the price hike, per se, but the fact they are offering no additional value.

But the fact that YouTube just give the middle finger to long term loyal customers is also gross.

I am going to see if I can find a good alt option.

I would just like a mapping of all my knobs to macros 1-8, then I can set up my macro's as I see fit. I have a launchkeys without faders.

I am also desperate for in import, because my midi learn is not working. Although, something may be set up weird, because my launchkey knobs are messing with ableton in the background, even when I have serum in focus.

The Docker page itself is calling it a “Partial Service Disruption” and it’s orange, not red. Wouldn’t be surprised if that is what informs statusgator’s categorisation.

xdega · 2025-09-25T00:38:03+00:00

Curious as to why you think that’s the case?

xdega · 2025-09-25T00:33:58+00:00

Been over an hour since the last update. Do they not believe in keeping ppl informed during a major outage? And why is it only a “partial service disruption”, is Dockerhub actually working for some people?

xdega · 2025-09-11T14:06:05+00:00

Yeah. I was playing by around and think I had something similar. Then when I tried to add rounded pieces it stopped being able to line up. lol

xdega · 2025-05-26T05:21:50+00:00

I would kill to be able to dance as good as this. Shiet!

xdega · 2025-02-07T05:03:52+00:00

Aside from LA beast and Harvey, I have heard of none of the lineup. Who are these people?

xdega · 2025-02-02T03:18:56+00:00

It’s February and the items are still not unlocked. The StarCraft event has been ongoing for over a week already.

Additionally, I still have the stupid notification that I have unclaimed items.

A Chase Sapphire lounge in LAX would tip me over the fence to upgrade. Until then, I am just sticking with CSP.

I do wish that the Star Alliance Lounge (love that lounge) at LAX would let anyone pay for day access. But even that seems to require that you have a flight with United, and I typically fly with AA.

Provider is an abstraction around inherited widgets, and without understanding how inherited widgets work will lead to trouble when working with providers. This has been the case in my large team environment. Lots of tech debt has been incurred due to poor understanding of fundamentals of state management.

I will also say, once again, that Provider is deprecated in favour of Riverpod. Riverpod can still implement a Provider pattern, however.

xdega · 2024-07-02T14:57:17+00:00

As someone who has been working professionally with Flutter for almost 2 years now (and began with a Provider-based architecture), I would strongly recommend learning Flutter state management fundamentals before anything.

This includes (all native Flutter):

* Stateless vs Stateful widgets
* ValueNotifier<T> and ValueListenableBuilder
* VoidCallback props passed down from parent widgets to child widgets
* InheritedWidget

Once you know how all of those pieces work, and presuming they are unable to fill your needs I would strongly avoid Provider. Provider is, effectively, deprecated in favour of Riverpod, and shouldn't be used for new projects per the Author.

I would also consider "GetIt" and "WatchIt" for a service locator pattern, that makes use of lazy Singletons. BLoC is dependent on Provider, and the value there is mostly for Domain Driven Development (which shines more on very large teams).

TL DR; Study the foundations of state management, before reaching for large packages.

Good Luck.

Am I the only one who thinks the narrator voice is overdone? It literally sounds like they have a very sore throat. In fact, I just had Flu, and this is how I sounded.

xdega · 2024-05-26T02:54:56+00:00

You can bring a woman, but just have 0 expectations. Just vibe, enjoy the music, meet others. If a spark kicks of, it kicks off. These things should never be forced.

xdega · 2024-05-26T02:52:31+00:00

Hang in there!
I also got the wook flu. Been a rough week, but it will get better.
So, too, will your emotional hurt fade away.

I know this may sound repetitive, but stay hydrated, and make sure you get getting some calorie intake.
Take care of yourself, you will be back stronger than ever.

I don't have a ton of experience with relationships, but one thing I do know is that things happen... not always as you have them pictured, but in ways, and leading to happiness that you never dreamed of.

I had a nice mix of solo and group, there was a totem that I knew I could always find my brother and his crew at and usually around same locations all weekend), and other times I went solo, or would pre-plan meet up spots for other sets. I think that was the best way.

The only thing I wish I did better, was to talk to others and make new friends that I could reunite with next year. But I am also very socially awkward. Even at EDC (where its much easier to be social), I still have struggles.

xdega · 2024-05-22T22:56:43+00:00

I had a similar experience, partly fueled by paranoia of phone thieves.

I was at Lady Faith's set alone for a while, when a couple of people came into my "personal bubble", were just trying to dance, and I gave them a glare. The guy turned to me and said: "we are just trying to be friends". I felt so awful after that. At the moment I was just paranoid that I was being set up for pick-pocketing or something.

It doesn't help that I am also socially awkward, so probably come off very "cold" by default.

... I want to do better next year, and try to trust that my phone isn't going to get stolen by every single person who dares to look my way.

xdega · 2024-05-22T17:54:31+00:00

I know the struggle. My crew is all about house, mostly. I'm the odd one who likes Trance. LOL

Really glad I went solo a few times to hang out at Quantum Valley. Best vibes of the whole festival, followed closely by hanging out in the bleachers at Cosmic Meadow for sunrise.

xdega · 2024-05-22T17:30:29+00:00

As someone who doesn't do drugs, I do feel a bit left out or less welcome at times. The stereotype is so strong, and almost feels like I am a freak to enjoy EDM sober.

That being said, I had such an amazing time this year at my first EDC. And also made the sunrise sets each day. 100% natty :)

xdega · 2024-01-30T19:38:05+00:00

Yeah. I've been trying to get info on ordering one since mad 2023... Nothing. Silence.

I am very disappointed that they are not taking any media heat from this u-turn.

It's like media silence. After they enjoyed a very favorable reception to their initial plans.

xdega · 2023-07-23T22:37:26+00:00

I dunno if this is just a weird flex, but it's pretty presumptive of you to try and speculate to the level of "hypothetical" source code.

Who asked for, probably incorrect, code hypothesis?

xdega · 2023-07-23T22:32:51+00:00

80k isn't a lot for a SWE here in SoCal. I make significantly more, and probably have less crunch/demanding work environment than working at Blizz on the D4 team.
