Fortunately my bed is right by the bathroom and that has a fan. Not the same, but good enough.

If the fan in your bedroom doesn’t work because it doesn’t have power, how does the bathroom fan work…

I’ve never felt the need to use a VPN at home. I’m not really trying to hide from my own ISP, nor obfuscate where my connections come from.

I do host my own VPN from my home network though. This allows me to access my self-hosted services without exposing them directly to the internet, as well as keeps my mobile devices behind my pihole dns servers so they always receive dns adblocking and access to private dns records (self-hosted stuff). This also keeps mobile traffic a bit more secure from snooping, particularly on public/corporate wifi networks.

Also, adding heat can really help a drain cleaner work.

I pour a pot/kettle of boiling water down the drain, add the cleaner, wait whatever it says to on the bottle, then dump a second pot of boiling water down to rinse.

The playlist for that series :)

AFAIK, it’s never made it out to the public unfortunately.

OpticalCharacterRecognition is a pretty common practice that’s been around for a century… (1920s)

It makes a lot of sense when you consider those with visual impairments.

Somehow that posted as an entirely empty comment… Here’s what was supposed to be in it:

No severance (which you by law are entitled to)

Not when you’re terminated with cause.

Committing crimes on the clock is more than enough reason to fire someone. Dudes incredibly lucky he was asked to resign instead of being fired and charged.

It is a Linux tool unfortunately :/

You could use it to clone the windows disc/partition from a Linux machine/live usb, try out your de-bloating process, and restore again via a Linux machine/live usb if needed.

Add a clause to the contract between Steam and the developer requiring the dev to reimburse Steam for refunds due to post-sale changes (ie, from that specific ‘accept, decline, refund’ option). If the dev doesn’t pay the bill, Steam can use the breach of contract as leverage.

BorgBackup creates compressed and de-duplicated backups, splitting data into chunks then only keeping unique chunks + a list of files those chunks belong too.

I’ve currently got around 470gb being backed up; compression brings that down to 320gb, then after de-duplication that’s down closer to 70gb. (there’s a lot of media metadata in there, results will vary)

17 backups going back 6 months: 8.10 TB original > 5.62 TB compressed > 326.55 GB final backup data stored on disk

/edit this thread is a week old… It showed up at the top of my ‘new’ feed…? Odd.

Turn that off.

Or use a pc.

I’m blue, da ba dee da ba daa Da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa Da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa Da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa

So… Add high-contrast uniquely identifiable markings to yourself?

Seems counterproductive.

Depends on where I’m scrolling and how long.

In a specific community? Usually sorted by ‘new’.

‘Subscribed’/‘All’ feeds? Generally starting with ‘Hot’ then moving to ‘new’ if I start to run into a bunch of content I’ve already seen.

There’s quite a bit of info here:

Some are entirely open, some have usage restrictions like .gov and .edu, some had restrictions but later removed them.

It’s not really what the holes were made for, but there are some extension cords that have a locking feature; a pair of plastic pins moved by a lever that lock into those holes preventing it from unplugging. Handy for dragging power tools around the shop.

Being an adult is so much fun.
