Ok #lazyweb show me what you got.

I'm looking for a low(er) #carb protein or meal replacement bar. It can have some real sugar, just not much.

Tricky bit is I'm looking for no sugar alcohols, and most of the #keto or #paleo ones I see have erythritol or malitol or other sugar alcohols.

For "fake" sweeteners, monkfruit is acceptable as long as it's not cut with the sugar alcohols.

So anything with nuts, dark chocolate, almond flour, butter, all good.

So, any suggestions?

Dear #lazyweb

I have a copy of "Expert C Programming: Deep C Secrets" and it says it should be your second book on C programming. Bracketing the K&R C bible which is out of print, what do you recommend a persons first book be on the C language?

I am specifically interested in doing low level stuff like writing a compiler and understanding how to abuse embedded systems. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Anybody have a fail2ban or other solution for blocking scraping in Nginx config? Asking for a friend who is tired of getting excessive CPU warnings from assholes scraping his git forge...

ETA: anubis.techaro.lol/ has been recommended multiple times, so maybe check that out if you're looking for a solution.

I remember as a child seeing a documentary about one of the most idiotic projects that the Nazis did:

Some of their senior leadership so firmly believed the Hollow Earth theory that they set up a V2 launcher on a South Pacific island with a view of slingshotting missiles around the Sun and landing them anywhere in Europe or America. It turns out the Sun isn't in the middle of the Earth (who knew?!?) so this didn't work.

It came to mind because another government seems to have a similar attitude to science at the moment.

I can find no online references to this at all. Did the documentary maker make the whole thing up? Did I dream the documentary?

Dear #lazyweb I have a request for some audio and video that I need for a project that I am working on.

I am the editor for an adults-oriented show, the Mosquito and Spider Show. It's based on Nik Caesar's indie comic, Mosquito and Spider. A bit Space Ghost, a bit Ren and Stimpy, and lots of adult humor.

I am in need of a couple of audio and video clips. But as this is an indie project (but the episodes will be sold eventually), I can't justify the $100 a month to Storyblocks for stock footag

#LazyWeb : je suis nouveau propriétaire d’un #vélo pliable avec des roues de 20 pouces ; merci à toustes pour les conseils dans les toots précédents 😎

Petit souci : il n’a pas de garde-boue ; est-ce que je peux acheter n’importe quel garde-boue générique pour roues de 20 pouces et ça le fera pour l’installer ? Ou bien il faut privilégier la marque constructeur (sachant que le modèle n’est plus commercialisé, donc j’irais au plus près j’imagine) ?

(le reboost évite la boue sur vos montures 🙏)

EDIT: we put the "30mm or so of copper" back on (which I had pegged as bluetooth ant) and GPS works now.

Oh #electronics #lazyweb, I have an #askfedi - I'm looking at a garmin gps watch (instinct 2s) it's not getting GPS. We think the GPS antenna has been damaged, thing is I'm not even sure which part is the GPS antenna. There's a couple of things that look like antennas put they're just 30mm or so of copper. I thought a gps antenna hadda be more complicated than that?. Anyone know of a teardown article or vid on garmins, or some tech doco?
