- Comment on When work has you travelling but there's ARC to be raided... 2 days ago:
I think that’s an HP dock off to the right given that the mouse and keyboard are wired into something over there. Could just be that the TV is fixed to the wall and not in a good position.

You are allowed to take an extra 15-minute break.
But it has to be used this week. And during quiet times. And not within an hour of any other break. Or the start and end of your work hours. And not on any day that ends in Y.

If I gave you $5 and then you gave it to someone else and then they gave it back to me we’ve done nothing but can call it $15 in business transactions.
- Comment on Is there an optimal home/apartment size that most people would be happy with? 1 week ago:
It’s been my experience that the areas most often referred to as “bad parts of town” are the areas with the most people squeezed in without consideration for anything else. Small homes can be fine of there are other outlets in the area such as community centers, parks, libraries, stores, etc. Without those you just concentrate too much human suffering in one area.

Sounds like a Doctor Who plot.
- Comment on This is the type of Q&A that makes the internet so important 1 week ago:
Every towel I have ever used has a tag on it, that’s the crotch end, dry your face with the other end.
- Comment on Wearing a helmet and a hat while biking 2 weeks ago:
Here’s what you do: get a bike rack and bungee core a milk crate to it. Bonus points for a milk crate that looks well worn and like it lived an entire lifetime before it took up residence on your bike. The look is timeless, a classic of style, unquestionable. From there you can store anything you want, hat included.
Or don’t. You wouldn’t ask a stranger on the street for their opinion, so why care what they think?
- Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead? 3 weeks 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? 3 weeks ago:
Apple. There’s no windows.
- Comment on I finally deleted 4.288 emails! How many emails do you have or you deleted recently? 4 weeks 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.

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? 1 month 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? 1 month 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.

Removes from cart
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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 2 months ago:
No, but it is breaking wind.
- Comment on You should know how to coil cables 2 months 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 2 months 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.

- 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!
