Something like this?
- Comment on I built a simple tool to find things to do without the usual paywalls or account signups 2 months ago:
Ok, first one I got I had to laugh. “Start a family tree”
Firstly, it’s marked as an outdoor activity. Secondly, it’s a hobby that can take decades, and not very interesting for kids.

English, bad english and worse Finnish.
Kidding, after 20 years in Finland my Finnish is just bad.

I was thinking we put a big dirty nuke, sitting right in the middle of all this, it has a countdown on it starting at 10.
Any time someone is murdered in the holy lands, the countdown goes down.
Pretty effective deterrent? How long until it gets to one?

Pulled 8 out of an old laptop, and bought 8 for about 30€.
- Comment on What's your self-hosting success of the week? 2 months ago:
Building to this week. A few months ago, I was given a broken nas. I took it, thinking I’ve at least got 16TB of storage if it won’t work. Fixed it. Saw the software includes docker, and then saw it has just 2GB ram and before I installed anything it would complain about low memory. Got 16GB, and installed it last weekend.
Spent the week installing and setting up Immich, navidrome, and integrating my other server running arrs.
- Comment on Earbugld question: Does anyone actually like to silicone tipped earbuds over the solid plastic ones? 3 months ago:
Silicone ones don’t fit me. Tried all sizes and they all fall out. I also don’t want the noise blocking they do. I also walk my dog and I want to hear bikes coming from behind or car noises and such.
- Comment on How do I access my services from outside? 3 months ago:
Have a look at Zerotier. I have some devices running it and it works a treat. Basically, add devices to your network and it gives them addresses that you can access as if it was on your home network. Your usual 192.168.. still work, but also you can choose a bunch like 172.25.. that you can only access when running Zerotier.
I use it to access jellyfin from my phone or laptop or to SSH into my server.
- Comment on Tony Burke says Australia has few options to block return of 34 women and children from Syrian camp 3 months ago:
From what I gathered before, and I could be wrong, the government aren’t going to fly them back to Australia. If they pay for their own way back one of them is blocked and seems like the rest will face charges.
I feel sorry for the children, less so for the parents who should know better. But I assume the women were forced by their beliefs to follow their husbands.
There are no winners.

I’m still trying to finish Nethack, so I guess that’s…(Looks at calendar) Forty years…
- Comment on I saw your face in a crowded place 3 months ago:
I just picked the name of someone I went to school with that looked kinda similar. In hindsight I should have used Hildegard or something.
- Comment on I saw your face in a crowded place 3 months ago:
I was at a party once, a little drunk, told a girl I was psychic and could guess her name. I thought it would be a good icebreaker, we would laugh at me guessing wrong etc.
I got it right. She thought I was a stalker or something and told all her friends to stay away from me.
Good times.

- Comment on Would the tart blueberries taste as good if you didn't have to randomly power through 3 to 5 bland ones between each good one? 3 months ago:
Fox pee isn’t going to kill you. Just go after it’s rained, everything has been washed then.
- Comment on Would the tart blueberries taste as good if you didn't have to randomly power through 3 to 5 bland ones between each good one? 3 months ago:
Come to Finland in the summertime. Walk through the forest with blue fingers and mouth from eating the wild bilberries. 200x better taste than blueberries and free.
- Comment on The capsicum paradox: new Australian supermarket pricing a ‘massive transparency fail’ for customers 4 months ago:
Fuck them. Australia, put in the law that mandates a kilo price or litre price for everything. Everywhere. Want to know the litre price for perfume? It’s marked on the pricetag. Want to know the kilo price for potatoes. Done. You don’t have to count them out. Makes it easier to compare prices and know if you have a good deal.
- Comment on If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED. 4 months ago:
Ok. Devils advocate here. If it did change, and did it gradually, would we notice? And if it changed suddenly wouldn’t we adjust and soon see things as we always have?
- Comment on A new cooling technology freezes food without warming the climate 4 months ago:
Under normal operation, in a perfect system it will stay sealed. Problems come at end of life and in real world use. Seals aren’t perfect, gas escapes slowly. Some seals are bad, a blast chiller at my work needs regassing every other year. People dump old fridges and freezers on the street and they get damaged.
It all gets out eventually.

So they could stop it, but don’t. I’ll never get him to switch to something like proton mail or whatever safe alternative there is.
- Comment on Microsoft Outlook Outage Leaves Users Without Email; Tech Company Working On Resolving Issue 4 months ago:
So, my father in Australia is losing his computer skills over time and in order for me to make sure he’s not being scammed, again, he gave me access to his outlook mail. After checking for a week or two, his spam mail has changed languages. Not just the official “advertising” but the spam mail.
How is this possible without micro soft dicks selling this information to spammers?

Introducing “Plex pass plus”! With no advertisements!
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
This is the only real solution. I would imagine a whole series of induction loops, that activate by sensing there is a device to power. Toaster from the kitchen can be moved to the table to do breakfast, put your phone down anywhere and it charges, vacuum the house wirelessly and without a battery. Take the espresso machine to your home office when working an all nighter.

I know many people, including me, that fall victim to the manipulation of advertising.
Back in the olden days, it was “here is my product, and this is the price, if you like it buy from this store” Now it’s not just the actual ad, it’s product placement in tv and movies, celebrity endorsement, influencers, and all that.
Just remember that advertising costs money, and that is in the price of the product. Products that don’t advertise can easily be better value.
