Yea, sorry. Turns out it was a different person posting this, and I had somehow assumed it was the same person replying, my bad.

You can also connecta portable screen for 100-200 bucks and have effectively 2 monitors. This starts breaking weight and size of “normal” laptop (only one screen but higher resolution and size than just the deck), but still costs significantly less for quite the bang-for-buck ratio.

I did use mine for a trip like a laptop for a full trip once. My conclusion is that for me personally a laptop (also with additional screen) is better, but I also happen to have one. I’m not sure I’d buy one already having the deck+monitor+keyboard+mouse.

They probably have good reasons to that are less obvious. If they didn’t have an order already, I think it’ll take 10-15 years for anything they order to be delivered by Airbus (assuming no delays, too). So maybe they just can’t wait and others stop buying Boeing (also for good reasons, obviously), so there are spots open or something?

So it clearly has nothing to do with the spiciness, and just with whatever your digestive system doesn’t like about jalapeños (or them being pickled). Why would you agree that spicy food is relevant here when it clearly isn’t?

I also got like 10 capchas for 1 of the codes (just one after the other) then it threw an error anyway. I appreciate their gesture, but so far it’s been like 30 minutes of wasted time with nothing to show for it.

Braun is US owned these days. From trying to find out, it got confusing rather quickly as it isn’t a company anymore, but just a brand name. It seems to have been split depending on product type (electric razors, electric toothbrushes, coffee makers, …). I have to be honest I kinda gave up trying to find out specifics at that point and just avoid them now instead.

I’m aware of that, and didn’t say otherwise?

My comment wasn’t even ipv6 specific, quite the opposite. The comment I was replying to also wasn’t, and the implication that things would be better if everyone had a fixed IP(v4) was actually the specific privacy nightmare scenario I wanted to emphasize. That is the literal worst case of all.

Things can be mitigated somewhat with IPv6, but also only to a degree. Here you’d (usually) have a static prefix and not IP. You then need to use the randomized suffix generation (on a host level, or in DHCPv6 if you’re using that), and not all OS so this by default, but I think Windows does these days. Advertising data collectors, which means basically every web site, could just assume that your prefix is stable and the information they gain if they happen to be correct it’s… uncomfortable.

You can run a basic server with an old laptop, desktop, mini-pc, anything. Everyone starts somewhere. If you eventually need ‘more’ or ‘better’, you can figure things out then. Getting started with a used office PC for 40$ off eBay (or anything old you already have) is fine. Just get started.

I really wish I could run ipv6 only at home, but due to a variety of factors, I just can’t. Lacking support for it is actually the least of my problems.

Everyone having a static IP is a privacy nightmare.

There’s a reason the recommendation in the standard for ipv6 had to be amended (it whatever the mechanic was) so that generated local suffixes aren’t static. Before that, we were essentially globally identifiable because just the second half of your v6 address was static.

This is entirely an US problem created by the “center tap” nonsense. Nobody else I’m aware of uses that, let alone with that other. The outlet in question (type F) I’m only aware of being in use with one phase of a there phase supply plus the neutral, or just “the” phase and neutral. Note that in the second case, even if a house or apartment only has one phase wired to it, it’s still generally part of a three phase supply, but the other phases just aren’t wired to that particular place (incredibly rare these days, but might be the case for very old homes/installations).

Now the real reason for it being safe: The neutral is required to be wired to ground at the main breaker panel. With installations newer than 2000-something, every circuit has to be GFCI protected. With even newer installations having even more granular requirements (not sure on the specifics).

This is an entirely theoretical problem that just doesn’t exist in practice. Just to be clear, for it to short circuit, it’s needs to find a path to ground. It can’t just “go somewhere”. Just because the line is longer didn’t make it more dangerous for it to “just exist”. There are regulations for wires, which include frankly absurd safety margins, regulations for the electrical devices that are not optional either (CE compliance for example). It just complicates this for basically no reason to have keyd outlets.

The 2nd and even 3rd point is not automatically true for every phone and setting. I have a combined fingerprint reader and power button on my Fairphone 5, and the 2nd thing has always worked just fine.

It also has the option to only enable the fingerprint reader if the display is on, which addresses your 3rd point completely. It means you can pick the phone up, including having a finger in the reader, and it won’t turn on or unlock. You need to press down in the button to trigger the screen, then it can be unlocked. That also means that when locking it and turning off the screen actively by pressing the power button with the phone on, it never re-unlocks. To be honest this part wasn’t a problem before the setting became available, as the locking would disable the fingerprint reader anyway, but letting your grip go slightly could trigger re-unlock.

Also it’s obvious Trump is a felon rapist and pedophile.

I mean it is obvious to you and me. Most people seem to either not believe it or just straight up don’t care.

He also frequently broke promises from his campaign, to the point where I’d say “most”, with usually zero response from anyone on “his side”. But for some reason, this time they seem to care, at least some of them. If that matters in any way remains to be seen though.

I finally switched from Windows to Linux and chose CachyOS. This was months ago. I never had to fix anything (so far). There was a fuck up by me once, but that wasn’t the distros and could’ve happened on any distro. Honestly couldn’t be happier with it being arch based, as it’s really nice to basically get anything that is released instantly as a package update.

I haven’t had to hunt for packages that aren’t years old for anything as I was used to on Debian (used on most of my servers). And while the AUR is there, I think I got a total of two things installed from there, anything else was just there in the repos.

But if you’ve got a setup that already works, and you’re happy with, why change anything? Having something that works for you is what makes the large amounts of choices in the Linux world so great.

ZFS, specifically RaidZx, can be expanded like and raid 5/6 these days, assuming support from the distro (works with TrueNAS for example). The patches for this have been merged years ago now. Expanding any other array (like a striped mirror) is even simpler and is done by adding VDevs.

Keepass just uses a (local) file, but it expects and can handle if the file is modified externally. That’s important because it means you can store it on a network share, or in some sort of synchronized storage, self hosted or not (next cloud, sync thing, Google drive, whatever). It’s just up to you. If you have it open on your PC and you add an entry on your phone, your PC won’t “overwrite” it, but integrates any changes you’re making there at the same time.

For example the android client has direct support for a long list on storage services for this exact reason.

Let’s just say I also don’t play platformers, basically ever. It was fine.

I haven’t played inside, but limbo is absolutely fantastic.

I hope that isn’t the future, because that’s a very long list of down sides for very few positive aspects. Plugging my bike in every few days is not something that has ever felt like it needed optimization. It takes basically zero effort and roughly 5 seconds, so why put all that effort into something that works less reliably?
