No, no, nope.

You missed the first step where you get the parts of the chicken from the grocery store, then go to a pet store to get bones and use Elmer’s glue to put the chicken together.

That’s just the basics of cooking according to Julia Pepin.

I wish someone would do a NoClip-esque documentary on Sierra. That studio seems amazing and Roberta Williams was a crazy good game designer.

Unfortunately, dental is typically separate from health care in the US. (It’s stupid).

Do you have any persistent pain or discomfort when doing things? Get that checked out.

Another +1 for colonoscopy.

Also if there’s a family history of anything nasty, see if there’s a test for it my maybe? (E.g. heart attacks, get blood work done for cholesterol).

Get a full physical including blood work.

Come over to Last Epoch - I’ve had a much better experience solo and with friends. And shockingly, the global chat is helpful/welcoming of newbies.

Ah, I wonder if it’s something with the Wasabi S3 hosting. I’ll check into it.

It’s literally all I wanted to do when I saw the .bond TLD came up for registration.

You can take stronk.bond from my cold dead hands.

Ideally, sure use a password generator - but I wouldn’t worry about the security of a password generator like the one I linked.

1. There’s no linking of the password you generated to whichever account you are creating.
2. There’s no guarantee from the web operator’s perspective that you are actually using the generated passwords for anything at all.

Again, use bitwarden’s generator - or equivalent - for passphrases, but in the absence of that correcthorsebatterystaple.com is good enough for a non-shared password.

The other thing to keep in mind with PiHole - some things are just going to break with it’s default blocking, namely the Google suggested results.

i know, I know - just don’t use google, but android phones/parents have a hard time not just braindead going to Google for results.

It’s not the end of the world - I’ve trained myself to just keep scrolling to actual results.

Another feature for PiHole is local DNS - if you want, you can set up custom dnsmasq entries for self hosted/internal services.

The brand/type of wifi router is more of a technical requirements discussion than privacy discussion.

For instance, I live in a two story townhome rental with the modem in the basement - so I picked up an Orbi mesh system to bounce wifi up to the second floor. I also have a fairly complex network with IoT VLAN, DMZ (for remote VPN) and other network segments - again the orbi doing different VLANs per SSID was a deciding factor.

I’ve also only used the Orbi as an access point, relying on a dedicated firewall/router for that stuff.

If you’re looking at a flat network (e.g. everything on one segment - the typical home user setup), pretty much any WiFi router from Best Buy or equivalent will do the job. Check your current devices to see if you can take advantage of WiFi 7 technology - otherwise save a few bucks and go WiFi 6.

For security purposes, change the default SSID (the wireless name) to something unique - and change the password to something from correcthorsebatterystaple.net. You don’t need the default jumble of letters and numbers to be secure.

Lastly, getting to your privacy concerns, look at the DHCP settings - that’s what hands out IP addresses to your devices so they can reach the internet. Change the DNS servers to something other than your ISP. This looks like a good starting point.

The big things are to make sure you don’t expose your router management to the Internet (the default shouldn’t do that) and to make sure you periodically check for firmware updates.

If you want to up your game, you could look at spinning up a self-hosted DNS server like Pi-Hole - but that can be a bit more advanced to get setup and troubleshoot if something goes wrong.

Google translate is a lifesaver.

These German folks have funnier memes.

This is the correct answer. Private IPs are less concerning (on noes now someone knows a network in my homelab is 10.0.0.1/24!) - but absolutely change public IPs in logs.

If it’s necessary to reference external users/systems in multiple log files, I’ll change the names to user1, user2, server1, db2, etc

Listen that needs work too, but this is about negotiating lower drug prices, not holistic medical care changes. Something like that would need some significant legislation with significant bipartisan support.

And that is one thing that the Republicans are absolutely not going to do for the Biden administration in an election year (if ever).

Does it have Discovery as a normal app store? You might be able to use that.

Honestly, give the terminal a shot - it’s not as complicated as you may think.

• Step 1: download deb
• Step 2: open a terminal
• Step 3: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/yourde.deb

Now whether or not all the packages are fubared at this point is unknown, but that’s how to install a deb file.

I’ve been listening to the NoClip Crew cast podcast - they mostly talk about games they’ve been playing recently and after a few sessions you can really grok the types of games everyone on the pod enjoys. That mostly matches up with my play style, so it works nicely.

As an added bonus, they tend to highlight more independent/smaller game studios.

I wasn’t sure about the Steam Deck, but my god man - it truly is the best of all worlds.

• [x] Playing games in bed with instant suspend/resume
• [x] Easy emulation of old (and new) consoles
• [x] Supports and excels at playing the vast majority of my old Steam games
• [ ] Makes me snacks when I’m hungry.

I’ve played Chronotrigger on here, Skies of Arcadia, and Civ3. Lately I’ve been going through the Yakuza series for the first time.

I will say that I’m always a little tempted to get a console for the exclusive new titles, but I can never justify the price when I have such a big backlog of games already.
