The issue with milk, according to the ophtalmologist’s video, is that when you got pepper sprayed there’s a chance your cornea has been damaged, so that milk can give you an infection.

This is so fascinating that the factory lector was/is a thing
The practice of reading aloud has a long history, and the tradition still survives in Cuba as a hard-won right deeply embedded in cigar factory workers’ culture. (El lector – paywall)
This article has some marvellous historical photos, really worth a look

Gut health is important, but the serotonin and dopamine from there won’t ever cross the blood–brain barrier, so the effects of the gut on mental health (which are very real) are mediated through other things.

So Republicans call “AI moratorium” something which is actually the opposite of a moratorium: a ban of regulation on “AI”.
Not that it is surprising they employ double-speak, but just to set things straight.

That’s a really good idea, I will from now on inspect disused garnments for parts that one can use for patches

Anyone know some good offers for nice (nerdy) patches? There are nice embroidered patches on Etsy, but at 7 USD per patch they’re a bit expensive for repairing of everyday items (let alone for vanity projects like a GNU/Linux-themed biker cut-off).
- Comment on A domain I like has expired, how do I go about registering it for myself? 5 months ago:
I think the general term for this is “domain sniping” or “catching”. From this, I also found this paid service, catches.io; can’t tell if it or dropcatch is better. They both only charge you when they are successful in catching the domain for you, which is good.
In general, I second the notion that one probably can’t get around paying for a professional, paid service, since one is up against professionalized scoopers (godaddy and the like), who have put a lot of optimization (down to the placing of their servers) into trying to get an edge over legitimate buyers and competing scoopers.
- Comment on Expanding storage on simple home server 5 months ago:
If you don’t yet have a USB adapter for using NVMe SSDs over USB-3 ports, I’d suggest to buy such a thing first, since they not just make for a simple yet (decently) fast storage expansion solution, but are very useful in all sorts of situations.

- Comment on YSK that you can create keyboard shortcuts to adjust brightness and contrast of your computer monitors even on a desktop PC 7 months ago:
Thank you, that’s interesting and good to know. At least it’s probably a good idea to not increment/decrement properties regularly in very small steps (like 2% at a time). I suspect the 5% steps I’m using for brightness should be fine, but I’ll implement some shortcuts that go in bigger steps just to be sure.

I’m curious about both things you mention. Do you have the name of the kernel module at hand? And can you point me to a source on the monitor flash memory (as I couldn’t find anything on that)?

- Comment on Realities of hosting a tor relay node at home 7 months ago:
Rather than running a Tor relay, running a bridge (e.g. via the browser add-on Snowflake as suggested by @ryokimball@infosec.pub is probably the best thing to do with one’s home hardware.
Actual relays must suffice certain requirements, according to the Tor project:
Requirements for Tor relays depend on the type of relay and the bandwidth they provide. ==== Bandwidth and Connections ====
A non-exit relay should be able to handle at least 7000 concurrent connections. This can overwhelm consumer-level routers. If you run the Tor relay from a server (virtual or dedicated) in a data center you will be fine. If you run it behind a consumer-level router at home you will have to try and see if your home router can handle it or if it starts failing. Fast exit relays (>=100 Mbit/s) usually have to handle a lot more concurrent connections (>100k).
It is recommended that a relay have at least 16 Mbit/s (Mbps) upload bandwidth and 16 Mbit/s (Mbps) download bandwidth available for Tor. More is better. The minimum requirements for a relay are 10 Mbit/s (Mbps). If you have less than 10 Mbit/s but at least 1 Mbit/s we recommend you run a [/wiki/doc/PluggableTransports/obfs4proxy bridge with obfs4 support]. If you do not know your bandwidth you can use beta.speedtest.net to measure it.
As for exit relays aka exit nodes, the obligatory advice is of course to not run them at all unless you know exactly what you are doing both legally and technically, and probably only if you’re a foundation or something.

Me neither, but since it’s about operating on external files, one can likely use procedure that’s more or less the same.

- Comment on NAS Power Consumption 8 months ago:
Some local libraries (e.g. in Heidelberg) or ecological initiatives lend devices to measure electricity consumption at the power plug. In particular, this is useful to measure other appliances as well.
Specifically for computers, they probably have some means that tell you their own consumption, but they may not be accurate or complete and will most certainly omit any peripherals, e.g. external hard drives.
