- Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead? 4 days ago:
My ability to zone out and get lost in my head is legendary.
Although, I have used headphones for grocery shopping during busy times because music helps keep me from becoming enraged at stupid people.
- Comment on Does anyone know what's inside this building? 1 week ago:
Apple. There’s no windows.
- Comment on I finally deleted 4.288 emails! How many emails do you have or you deleted recently? 1 week ago:
Good on ya, that’s an awful lot of work. I did something similar years ago with 2,000 emails and it took forever.
The thing to do now is stay on top of the emails coming in and unsubscribe or block any that remain. If you can stem the flow you won’t need to purge again.

Top ten answers on the board; we asked 100 users “How will Canva cover the costs of the software development if Affinity is free?”

Every Minecraft update just makes me hum “Where’s the modding API” again.

- Comment on Are there communities online where artists share their art for free / donation? 3 weeks ago:
I find Blue Sky gained a lot of the artists that left Twitter. Many post freely, post commissioned works, or have a donation or subscription based platform to share work on. Discovery is ass, but many repost or comment on other artists so you can find a lot of similarly interesting creators that way.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 4 weeks ago:
This is the key. You are not required to engage with the rage. Block people, block communities, block instances! Curate your mood and don’t give space in it to things that will poison it.

Good tip!
- Comment on YSK: Little Free Library is a group that promotes local access to books on a more micro level, to build a stronger community of readers across the world 5 weeks ago:
I was reading their FAQ section and they suggest marking, stamping, or otherwise defacing a book to lower its resale value. A line of marker down the spine won’t ruin the reading, but will make it hard to sell.
- Comment on Upcoming Win10 EOL Options to buy old Office PCs 5 weeks ago:
Where I am from local governments have disposal policies for surplus items. This can be seized property, vehicles, office supplies, and computers. Or may be worth researching how your local area handles disposal because I’ve seen pallets of computers go cheap.
- Comment on Open Printer is a fully open-source inkjet with DRM-free ink and no subscriptions 5 weeks ago:
If you buy their TV bar unit, apparently you can pair the two to cover longer tables. The people in the back are covered by the table unit and the front is covered by the bar.
I know this from reading knowledge base articles because no organization I’ve ever been apart of ever wanted to spend the money on a good system that covered everything properly, so I have never had the chance to do it.
- Comment on U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after 1 month ago:
No, but it is breaking wind.
- Comment on You should know how to coil cables 1 month ago:
This technique is often referred to as “over, under” as apposed to the more common “over, over” because it prevents damage or cable memory from twisting in one direction. Frequently used in the audio/video industry.
The biggest downside is that if you pass the end of the cable through the middle of the bundle you will create a knot every other loop. These can quickly be unknotted by gathering the knots together in line and passing an end back through. Also makes a decent magic trick.
A cable tie, hook-and-loop fastener, or a piece of rope or tie-line with a clove hitch in the middle is essential to secure cables while in transit or storage.
- Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges 1 month ago:
I’m speculating, but it wouldn’t change a thing. You would still need to request domain addresses from a server somewhere, but traffic between your device and server would be encrypted in transit. The DNS server would also be verifiable to prevent imitators.
So, the request would go to the PiHole and if it was not being filtered the PiHole would make the request of whatever upstream server is configured same as before.

Useless display in refrigerators finally revealed as corporate ploy to install billboard in consumer’s kitchens.
- Comment on Voices of the Void 2 months ago:
I’ve been watching videos of this game for a bit and it is one of the better designed spooky games I’ve seen. The constant, random happenings keep it interesting; the simple loop of capturing signals and sending them of keeps things moving.
I tried watching some big youtubers play it, but found that I enjoyed this guy with like 300 subscribers more. Sindrick on YouTube.
- Comment on Is it possible to “make” someone have seizures? 2 months ago:
My knowledge is limited, but I recall hearing that more seizures are caused by smells than flashing lights. Based off that single fact, perhaps the thing that was triggering you isn’t present anymore. Be that person, perfume, or otherwise.

- Comment on I Printed my avatar 2 months ago:
You beautiful fucking genius! I’ve been looking at trying to get a Lemmy patch embroidered, but it was going to be like $200 for the first and it got cheaper the more I bought. Instead of doing that I can just print one out on my brothers printer instead!

- Comment on YSK that you can usually tell news site's bias based on how complimentary the picture they attached is 2 months ago:
There’s an old trick relating to this; if you want someone to look foolish use a picture with their mouth wide open. If you want then to look dignified, use a picture with their mouth closed or smiling.

Can you learn truths from fiction? Can you feel sad at a happy memory? Can you long for a person who wronged you? Can a good point he made by a bad person? Why does the source matter?
- Comment on tag yourself 3 months ago:
Oh, no, corporate just realized that could get four times as much viewership of their ads if they replace a human with four robots. Sure, it may be more costly overall, but their advertisement partners have seen significant increases in analytics and they really like that.
- Comment on Pi-hole client filtering without DHCP? 3 months ago:
I run AdGuard as an addon to Home Assistant. If you want to stick to AdGuard you can go to Settings > Client Settings and set a per-client filtering rule. There is a tab in the client settings that can be used to filter specific services with a click. Setting an IP reservation for your child’s device in the DHCP settings of Unifi or your router will help ensure the IP address stays consistent.
For the PiHole option, you don’t actually have to let the PiHole handle DHCP. You just need to tell your DHCP server what DNS server to use. For example, my router is .1 and my Raspberry PI is .2. The DHCP server, my router, tells all devices .1 is the gateway and .2 is the DNS server. You may also need to set these settings on the individual devices to prevent them from ignoring your DNS settings, but that can be done from the network settings. Avast had some safe networking “feature” that would force my DNS settings to be ignored, same with my Android phone.
Of course, the downside to all of this is that any different device, different IP, device from a friend, or mobile data could bypass these restrictions. You may soon be in an arms race with your child and chances are they can get more clever that you can in a shorter time frame.
