  They can be a bitch, for sure.

  The corners love to pull out, so last one I did I started with the corners and glued those fucker in with Goop adhesive. Waited for the glue to cure overnight, then put the rest of the gasket in (and glued it too for good measure).

  Sounds like a great result - it will add so much garbage data to the pile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help with removing broken faucet aerator⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just replace the whole damn thing

  With one that doesn’t use this kind of keyed nonsense, as build up will always seize this stuff in place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UnifiedAttestation: European, open source Google Play Integrity alternative on the horizon, could impact banking & government apps.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, shockingly bad news to continue to require third party attestation of my device.

  This is to just get people used to the idea, to normalize it outside Google and Apple, and to then push it into PC OS’s.

  Let’s start by choking OP for his hubris

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨self-hosted KeePass database in the cloud, what are some good options?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  An alternative to Syncthing is Resilio.

  I use both on Windows and iOS - Resilio does a better job syncing in the background.

  Either one is a good answer though (and I generally prefer ST anyway).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Debunked” hahahaha.

  Get help dude, you’re obsessed with this idea.

  You can’t prove something doesn’t exist. The mere fact you’re using this word means it does exist, and has been used to mean a slacker layabout for decades.

  Seriously, go get help. Or start taking your Meds again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help for jbod⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes.

  It eliminates risks.

  For example I have a proper NAS, a server with one large drive, and 2 external drives.

  Guess what I never have a problem with? The NAS or the internal drives. Occasionally one of the external drives will just disappear from the server, because they’re not really intended to be up 24/7. So I’ll have to power cycle it.

  Also those external drives don’t have any active cooling - they weren’t designed for that use case. So I’ve found they tend to get warm if I’m copying anything to them, and now have an old case fan on them. Talk about janky.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yawn.

  Go back to whatever hole you crawled out of.

  OK, you don’t like the US. That’s all you had to say.

  And even THAT is tiresome. Get a new shtick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stupid question, but are there free VPS/VM instances for a jobless girl who wants to run her own instance?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pi is a good option because of it’s low power draw.

  However I find used mini pc’s and Small Form Factor desktops to be a better value and their idle power is similar to the latest Pi (while costing about the same as a new Pi).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ve been corrected on this before: chav doesn’t mean poor.

  So take your strawman elsewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Windows still bloated⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t expect those to be upgrading to 11

  Every desktop/laptop will upgrade to 11 - no business will accept the risk of maintaining an OS that’s out of support (with some exceptions). So you don’t have a choice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Windows still bloated⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I couldn’t have written it better.

  The only disagreement I’d have is that Win2k was the major turning point when NT architecture hit mainstream. Suddenly we had NT core with a UI that users understood and dynamic events (PnP).

  Though for us in IT, NT4 was the major turning point - a solid OS that you could actually use in business.

  XP brought a lot more user functionality (plus better performance), and Windows 7 brought the current version of 64-bit architecture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Windows still bloated⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no value in switching to ARM, basically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone should make a strip mall with 80s/90s stores that no longer exist⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just go to a defunct mall

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we eat dessert?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why are you on social media when studies have shown it’s bad for your mental health?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK What are you eating⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean the basic rules apply: If it’s in a box/in the center part of the store, it shouldn’t only be used occasionally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a spreadsheet that doesn't mess with the data I enter?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Libreoffixe won’t do tables, ever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any good laptop cleaners so I can set it to max settings and get rid of bloware that are free?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just uninstall any apps you don’t use/want.

  Uhh, do you still believe in Santa or the Tooth Fairy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s the endgame?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no “end game” - the world’s in constant flux.

  There’s a million stories, a million agendas, a million players (8 billion?)

  Every day there’s a change in circumstance, so every day each agenda/story shifts to accommodate, as the players take new approaches to achieve whatever goals they have today.

  Nothing is ever as simple as “end game”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a spreadsheet that doesn't mess with the data I enter?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  AFAIK, when you save to CSV with Excel it doesn’t add anything.

  But you won’t have a Table either, as that requires saving yonan Excel format.

  As for the rest just format your columns as “text” in Excel.

  Oh, my writing is so inconsistent there’s no doubt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remote KVM recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  RustDesk is a great option too for just Remote Access. Though I find it’s performance a bit slow, and with VPN I can use any tool I need same as on the LAN (my workflow is unchanged).

  I do use RustDesk for the adhoc situations (friend needs help/new machine, etc). It’s faster to setup for ad-hoc support vs adding a Tailscale client.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remote KVM recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ll need port forwarding to expose RDP yo the internet

  No. Do NOT do this. RDP isn’t designed for the internet, it’s a security hole, even more so in a small business where they aren’t going to use advanced security (2FA, certs, etc).

  Remote access should always be over a secure connection, such as a VPN.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remote KVM recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ooh, I’d forgotten about Netbird!

  Thanks for the reminder to test it as an alternative to Tailscale.
