  Recurring charges like utility bills are often processed regardless of overdraft protection status - ultimately at the bank’s discretion, and you can be sure they’ll pick the option that gets them the most fees. Overdraft protection only seems to stop you from using your card for a new transaction with insufficient funds.

  These are indeed paid on delivery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To whom it may concern⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m curious what they have to say to that!

  You didn’t do shit about the child rapists, Frankie. Turn that car around, you’re going the other way!

  “Girl math” doesn’t sound at all like misogynistic IT tech bro speech.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Online ‘Pedophile Hunters’ Are Growing More Violent — and Going Viral: With the rise of loosely moderated social media platforms, a fringe vigilante movement is experiencing a dangerous evolution.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d make a guess they’re getting violent because the legal system can’t do anything with their compromised evidence. Instead of realizing they’re not the people qualified to do this work, they’re just doubling down and “handing it themselves.”

  The USB sticks that they frequently give away for free with other purchases have low performance? Color me shocked, I guess?

  I never get invited to the fun parties. 🥺

  Those tiled bathrooms have great acoustics for it.

  How else would they continue developing their social features that no one fucking asked for?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Fediverse services do you use?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Mostly referring to the recent rumblings about their potential IPO. Once shareholders get their hands on something, it’s all downhill.

  Matrix supports “bridges” for a number of third party services so you can keep in contact with friends who haven’t made the transition to federated services.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Fediverse services do you use?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Other than Lemmy, I’ve got a self-hosted and federated Matrix instance. I don’t actually do much with Matrix at the moment, it’s mostly the result of me tinkering with self-hosted services. I did recently bridge it to Discord, and I’ve let my friends know it’s a potential alternative if Discord continues going down the shitter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨which softwares can I self host without public IP?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried using DuckDNS for a while for DDNS, but noticed it seemed to have frequent periods of a few minutes each when it just wouldn’t resolve. Also was unable to get a matrix/synapse setup working behind it. It’s handy as a free service and nice if you just need basic DDNS, but it’s not the most reliable for hosting stuff from my experience.

  I eventually settled on buying my own domain. Was much cheaper and easier to figure out DNS management than I was expecting, and my hosted services run so smoothly now.

  Are people just going to keep reposting this misleading shit headline of a post until no one reads the article and just goes along with it?

  Are the people constantly reposting this even reading the article and realizing how illiterate they look?

  It’s me, the unfiltered military guy. Gonna need to see that proof again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man Trying to Buy Entire Landfill to Recover Lost Bitcoin Hard Drive⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Almost wish the guy would find it so this non-news story would stop making the rounds every few weeks with no new details. Doesn’t even tickle my sense of schadenfreude anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: There's a protest today at noon at your state capitol.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That part I think I understand. Capitol buildings tend to be kinda empty during the weekend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: There's a protest today at noon at your state capitol.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This event would have faired a lot better if it had any sort of actual organization and a core team of organizers to answer questions and provide solid information. All of my friends who would have been interested in an event like this decided to avoid it because there just wasn’t enough information for it to not seem “sketchy,” and something so poorly organized was likely to only draw small groups of supporters, thus reducing the “safety in numbers” that protesters would greatly benefit from against a crowd of fascist police and anti-protesters.

  I use Watchtower for keeping my containers up to date (apologies if you’re already familiar). Has been very much a set-it-and-forget-it experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does the winter solstice mark the beginning of winter, and not the center?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If the days start cooling down at noon for you, you’re closer to the outlier set than me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does the winter solstice mark the beginning of winter, and not the center?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ever notice during the summer the hottest part of the day is usually around 3 or 4 in the afternoon instead of at noon? Same thing, just on the order of months instead of a day.

  If one does watch and enjoy it, I recommend they do not watch the sequel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't we just gather up all the ocean's trash and all the nonrecyclables, put them in a rocket, and launch it into the sun?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is slowing it down to any speed that would end up with it dropping into the sun is going to take more effort and be more difficult than firing it out of the solar system. It isn’t practical.
