• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to cool my body enough to not sweat while exercising?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Sweat means your body is trying to cool down, not that your heart is pumping.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many active robots do you think exist today on this planeeet by your best estimate ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Automotive industry uses lots of robots. There’s little manual work in the production of cars nowadays.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Train derailment in Córdoba, southern Spain kills five⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the worst thread to be pedantic, but I’m curious about your choice of unit. SI stipulates km/h although we often see kph (mostly next to imperial mph). But k/hr is particularly cursed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World's first hydrogen drone sent into a combat zone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not necessarily because diesel can be at atmospheric pressure while hydrogen needs heavier containers to keep it pressurised and liquid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hypothetically, if your were a kid and your parents worked for a government intelligence agency, how would you keep secrets / have privacy from your parents?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you assume secret services are constantly spying on their kids?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Danish Forces Are Mandated to Fire Back if U.S. Attacks Greenland⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Israel is fighting a war with its neighbours. Not a world war. Funny you say that, because it almost became a world war because the US decided to bomb Iran.

  Russia is also fighting wars at its borders trying to expand territory, but Russia doesn’t want that. They wanted a quick and easy takeover. It might push the EU to a war, but it’s still a local war.

  The US is the most likely to start an intercontinental war. They attacked Iran, they attack Venezuela, and now they have again their eyes set on European territories.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Danish Forces Are Mandated to Fire Back if U.S. Attacks Greenland⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You didn’t? Really? Who else is instigating global conflicts?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where are the marketing volunteers?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Email was born in a service vacuum. The reason it still exists today is the same reason nothing else can become as ubiquitous as email.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you build revolutionary optimism in these dark times?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What kind of software is getting better? Most commercial software has steadily gotten worse, moving to subscription models, taking more risks with updates and breaking things. I remember clearly when Github got bought by Microsoft. Since then, outages became a common occurance whereas before they were rare.

  Open source software is arguably getting better and better, but less people are willing to do it for free while big tech reaps their free labour for profit with no return.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨State of the Fin 2026-01-06 | Jellyfin⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that jellyfin let’s you sort your media exactly the way you want without promoting or hiding content already puts JF miles ahead any commercial streaming services. The ease of mind is unbeatable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do the closest thing I can, which is lick my smoke alarm every night and sleep with 1kg of banana next to my pillow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That definitely helps putting my mind off of the fear of radiation. Thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love science⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s because your frigid heart doesn’t understand the science of looooove

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vietnam introduces tougher penalties on e-cigarette and heated tobacco use⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This can only be because of tobacco industry lobbying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I know its hard to digest.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s this, 2023?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where are you running your wireguard endpoint?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  On the home server on the host. I couldn’t figure out how to make it work in a container and still have ssh access to the host, which was my goal…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What DDNS providers you guys recommend?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same! I setup a cronjob calling namecheap dyndns API.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UN expresses concern about suppression of Estonian Orthodox Christian Church rights⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What a weird rake from the UN. Minority rights? This is the biggest religious institution in the country, not some minority. The church has no business receiving money from the state.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU to unveil plan to tackle housing crisis⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And I think enterprises should pay higher taxes than individuals even for the first house, as companies are not people and thus don’t need a place to live.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon says blocked 1,800 North Koreans from applying for jobs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do wonder what the future for NK is. A lot of the cyber crime they commit is for financial reasons. As an extremely isolated country, barred from trading with most of the world, with most of the population stuck in poverty, there’s not that many ways for it to leave its current situation. And because they are already isolated, they are immune to the usual sanctions. So cyber crime will continue being a very lucrative business.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨at what point in life it's too late to go back to school?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends what you want. It’s never late to pursue an academic interest. But realistically if you’re going back to school to change careers, probably from 35 up it starts being hard to justify. If you just want to go to school to supplement your current skills, it’s never too late.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨1936 - "absolutely invisible even with the most perfectly fitted gown"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tampax was indeed designed by a physician. A male one, if you can believe. So when he says they are super comfortable, you know it’s true because it’s a man’s opinion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some website logins have the username and password entry on different pages?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I still hate it and will always hate it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NASA loses contact with MAVEN Mars orbiter⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oof that’s frustrating…

  I’m surprised that operating MAVEN costs 24 million dollars per year. Why could that be?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sooo... This is happening on Imgur⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I think you should cosplay as a nazi the same way we wear fake guns. You better make it abundantly clear that it’s a toy/costume.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gravity!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That you make all water bulge at the equator.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I still don’t understand how Searx is able to operate for free. Don’t the API calls cost money?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which countries combine high quality of life and strong equality?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not intirely true. Some people definitely are like that, like in any country. Others agree that if you work and pay taxes, you deserve all the same benefits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aid cuts have shaken HIV/Aids care to its core – and will mean millions more infections ahead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Good thing that infectious diseases respect country borders, so this will have no repercussions on the west.
