Hahaha, that’s the point of a password manager. If remembering worked, we wouldn’t need any of this.
Also, I have 300+ unique logins.

Pretty much every car today IS AWD - a better version of plain old 4WD. So even your analogy doesn’t work.
- Comment on Why don't more people use Bilibili instead of YouTube? 3 days ago:
What?
These kinds of questions are meaningless.
Unless you meant it rhetorically.

Usually I’d agree it’s an asshole thing to do, but sounds like OP’s ex was clear they “didn’t want to talk 24/7”.
There’s probably more to this story.

Funny anecdote: I’ve had more luck getting dates from World of Warcraft.
Because common interest, and engagement without an agenda.

This is what I find so frustrating about Crasholan killing their peer-to-peer backup in about 2012.
It was a brilliant solution.
- Comment on Selfhost Media server and NAS 1 week ago:
Just use the OptiPlex for everything. The RPi lacks the horsepower, and storage capability.
I’m currently using a 7 year old OptiPlex SFF as a NAS, backup point, media converter, and media server. I’ve upgraded the storage drive to 8TB.
I do have another old NAS I use only to duplicate my data store locally (I keep 3 local copies of data, and a cloud backup).
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 1 week ago:
You’ll need to direct that port for the given service in the router control panel.
For your current server you have a port forwarding for that port already. Just add a port forwarding rule for the new service.
- Comment on Size matters: Sharks follow two-thirds scaling law, proving theory 1 week ago:
Who writes this stuff?
I had to scroll through 2/3 of the article to find the (meager) definition of the rule being discussed.
High school writing assignments… Wait, no, grade school assignments taught to define the subject first, to make the remaining discussion meaningful.
This was clearly written for the average reader, not people within the community studying sharks (or other animals), so assuming people know this rule is a major oversight.
Why then, did they “bury the lede”? Because they had other points they wanted to make before providing the reader the necessary context.
- Comment on Why is my GPU's "3D" usage spiking so wildly when I'm not even playing a game? It keeps throttling up and throttling down and the noise is extremely annoying 1 week ago:
Yea, I wouldn’t expect to be able to kill either of those - they’re kind of necessary for the system.
Something is requesting activity from them. When did this start? Is the timing related to a new app or a change in the system?
- Comment on Are there Designs for Kiddie Pool Water Filters? 1 week ago:
There are small filters that hang hoses over the side.
You’ll spend more running the filter, treating the water (and testing it) than simply replacing it.
From my own pool experience the smaller the volume, the harder it is to keep balanced. Even a 12’ pool can be a challenge.

To be fair, I’d be addicted to fixing cataracts, but only twice. 😆
- Comment on Can you clear a straight line of malfunctioning pixels on a phone with a lighter? 2 weeks ago:
Just get a new screen kit online. For most phones, they’re fairly reasonably priced. (But not Pixel, not even a 5 from 2020).
- Comment on Can you clear a straight line of malfunctioning pixels on a phone with a lighter? 2 weeks ago:
After heating it with a lighter. 😆
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Exactly.
Honesty and transparency go a long way. If we know what’s going on, we can choose to help if we have time (say it’s for a portfolio).

Dang, you had a III?
I got to work on one, eventually, at school. 64k of ram, baby!

No kidding? I don’t recall that.
First I read was in Windows NT mag about 1999,they had a working prototype, but without a touch screen.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Android existed before Google acquired it. So there’s an interesting wrinkle there.
But, PalmOS existed before Android and iOS. And Blackberry. Sailfish may have also, I just don’t recall.

- Comment on I've massively improved my home organization with this free and open-source [Self-Hosted] tool [HomeBox] 2 weeks ago:
Nah, it’s 2 different things.
I could add pictures in the shopping list app, I just don’t want them there.
Instead I slowly took pictures of everything I own. And when something new comes in, I take a pic of that. I have a folder for inventory photos.
Those photos are only a just-in-case for insurance.

There’s also the insurance angle.
Heaven forbid you have a fire or flood from a water line break. Insurance companies aren’t your friend and will shaft you if they can - I’ve seen it happen with friends.
So now I have an inventory (and pictures). I have about 4x the stuff in my place than the average person in a house this size, so the defaults from insurance would make me lose lots of money. Once they see an exported spreadsheet with counts and dates (plus the pictures), they’ll cut a check and not argue.
Plus the inventory helps me keep track of what I have so I don’t buy it again.

I have 800+ items in my home inventory list. Lots of different tools, household stuff, and cooking stuff.
I used to be able to keep track just by having a few containers, but then I started forgetting what container something was in.
Now containers are labelled with a name andist of what’s in it, my inventory app (just a shopping list app) indicates the container name.

- Comment on Hello, non-Americans, do you have any Chinese language classes in your education system? 3 weeks ago:
Umm, gonna answer as an American, for clarity: many schools across the US have language classes of all sorts. Every niece/nephew I know across multiple states could study French, Spanish, Latin, Chinese, Italian, etc, etc. Chinese is one of many (typically Mandarin).
It’s very common in US public schools, and has increased significantly over the last 50 years.

Why? Because I can’t, like I said.
No one has to justify themselves. You asked, I said no. The end.
