- Comment on WTF BIT ME? 1 day ago:
I touched poision ivy once and it looked like this. If it doesn’t go away like a normal mosquito bite, might need to get it checked out so you can get the prescription cream.
- Comment on What is a good self-hosted solution for sharing files with friends? 1 day ago:
Good to know, thanks.
- Comment on What is a good self-hosted solution for sharing files with friends? 1 day ago:
I use Pingvin. You upload a file to it and it generates a link. Has expiration on the link.
You can allow anonymous uploads or not, give friends logins etc.
I have it locked down to just me with a login and I use it to let others download the files.
- Comment on How can a US state block porn? 6 days ago:
It is impossible. US states make the law, and require the websites to self-block the IP addresses within the state using geo-ip. It’s a flawed solution, but comes with the benefit of being able to sue any semi-large website for not self-blocking and the state receives free fine money. Best part is the state doesn’t actually have to do anything, just pass the law and rake in the publicity.
- Comment on Being asked "Have you gotten the tour yet" upon entering a house for the first time is the adult equivelent of the kids asking: "Do you want to see my room?" 1 week ago:
Oh, I’m not complaining. Shopping around zillow and looking through peoples houses is a guilty pleasure of mine. I enjoy the tours.
- Comment on Being asked "Have you gotten the tour yet" upon entering a house for the first time is the adult equivelent of the kids asking: "Do you want to see my room?" 1 week ago:
I honestly just think it’s to show off. The only houses I’ve gotten the tour of have been the really big expensive houses.

- Comment on Vert is the best self-hosted file converter out there, and it's not even close 1 week ago:
I’m using ConvertX and I’ve liked it. How is this one better?
- Comment on Introverts of our era spend their time on their computers, but what did introverts do before? Like when literacy rates were lower (pre-1950s)? Or before the printing press? 1 week ago:
Join a convent/monastary and spend your life in seclusion and take up an oath of silence. Or at least let people assume you took the oath and just not talk to anybody. Spend time ‘meditating’.
- Comment on Someone should digitally remake the Bourne movies and make everyone in the films Jason Bourne 1 week ago:
Yea, but I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what they were trying to make. Good action fighting scenes held loosely together by low effort excuses disguised as plot. And based on how much money the movies made, it’s hard to blame them for their decisions.
- Comment on Someone should digitally remake the Bourne movies and make everyone in the films Jason Bourne 1 week ago:
Oh, the movies have a TON of plot holes in them. But if you enjoy reading, the original trilogy is amazing. Half the reason those plot holes exist is they removed Carlos. He’s the bad guy and the entire reason everything is happening.
- Comment on Setting up VoIP on my matrix server 2 weeks ago:
Did you create your own docker container, or ded you use the official one?
I have the official one up and running, and it voice and video chat work out of the box.
- Comment on Cracked shower drain 2 weeks ago:
100% silicone. Some drains are installed with just silicone caulk keeping them sealed.
- Comment on How much time and money would it take to set up and maintain a server similar to disroot.org, offering the same services, for a group of ten people? 2 weeks ago:
Looks like most of their services are also foss. Says their cloud service is powered by nextcloud, and pad is powered by Etherpad, upload by Lufi, etc. So, OP could probably just self-host most of these really easily. Hardest one would probably be email. That’s a whole 'nother beast for most. Especially since most residential IPs are blacklisted. You almoat always need to cloud-host that.
My cloud-hosting knowledge is a bit dated, bit I bet there are webhosting places that do the email bit for you, you juat pay the monthly fee to use their auto-gen instance of mailcow or whatever.
- Comment on Have you all not notice there are NO communist countries? 2 weeks ago:
Good people don’t want the power. They want a nice easy peaceful life surrounded by loved ones. The assholes strive for power and authority. A few good people try to make a difference.
Even if you tried to make a legislature out of regular citizens forced to do the work like jury duty, it would get twisted and regulated like current jury duty.
- Comment on Have you all not notice there are NO communist countries? 2 weeks ago:
The communism ideals are great. Problem is, they historically fail when put into practice. Funny thing, it’s because of power hungry assholes. That same reason is why democracies fail, why republics fail, why monarchies fail, why theocracies fail and so on.
If only there were a pattern here that we could learn from. One person with too much power and eventually, you’ll get an asshole so mad with power they bring the whole system down and we have to start over.
The more parties, check, ballances, laws, and red tape, and the like help stave it off for longer, but nothing lasts forever. There is bo perfect system that can’t be undone by assholes.
- Comment on Pornhub should make its own VPN 3 weeks ago:
Or just buy shares of VPN companies and then pay lawmakers to pass laws banning porn.
Did you know that Elvis’s manager sold buttons that said ‘I Hate Elvis’. Gotta play both sides.
- Comment on Can anyone help me with FreshRSS setup on truenas? 4 weeks ago:
I’ve had issues like this before too. Mine was with the api password. You have to enable api access in settings->authentication->allow api access
then reset the api password (sometimes takes a few saves to stick for some reason).
- Comment on Its all bots, isn't it? 4 weeks ago:
Yes.
Source: I’m a bot.
- Comment on how can I train myself not to burst out laughing when I do something really silly? 5 weeks ago:
I did it by promising myself I’d laugh about it later, and then hold it in and maintain a straight face.
Works pretty well, but you do end up getting funny looks when you’re giggling to yourself out of nowhere when you think back about it.
- Comment on Uh oh lol 5 weeks ago:
On top of that, we’ve found that basically everything is redshifting as the universe expands. So to see a blueshifting galaxy would mean something potentially unnatural.
- Comment on If you had to buy a new TV, what brand would you get? 1 month ago:
Honestly? Probably something like this:
the tvs for business/digital signage have stripped down os (if any), this is just a stock android tv.
I’m not a videophile, probably looks good enough for me, and they aren’t going to be dropping ads on it as they assume it’s going in a restraunt for a menu, not in your living room.
- Comment on Roku wants you to see a lot more AI-generated ads 1 month ago:
So long as their ads keep getting blocked my my pi-hole I won’t notice.
- Comment on thick skinned employees, how can you be so thick skinned? 1 month ago:
Honestly the drama sounds like it is the extra work that these guys aren’t being paid enough to deal with. They’re wise enough to know to stay out. Compartmentilization is key here.
- Comment on What's the name of the type of man I'm attracted to? (pictured) 1 month ago:

- Comment on WiFi signals can measure heart rate—no wearables needed 1 month ago:
Wow, all that with an esp32. No fancy hardware needed.
- Comment on Anyone automate anything with smart thermostats and outdoor temp? 1 month ago:
I have one where I put a door/window sensor on a window and anytime that window is opened it turns off the HVAC, then when closed, turns it back on.
I tried omce to setup a notification to open the windows if the weather was nice, but I’d never gotten to work quite like I wanted, and so I turned it off.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I’m in a much better place at 43 than 33. My finances are better, my kids are older and much less maintenance. I have way more free time now. I remember fighting for 30min one or twice a week to game for a little bit and feeling guilty after (had 4 kids under 10). Now? I game almost every day if I want. I actually get a little bored sometimes. It’s luxurious. My body doesn’t feel much different either. Bit slower healing, but I love my 40s. Don’t make me go back.
- Comment on YSK that if U.S. housing and U.S population projections hold, the Electoral College will shift further away from Democrats after the 2030 census. 2 months ago:
Yep! Always expect more excuses from the govt. Just like your boss telling you the economy is bad so they can’t give you a raise despite pulling in record profits, you really can’t get a raise because they answer to investors not you. The govt answers to donors not voters. So any excuse to not do something for you will be used. Regardless of the political pins they wear.

Sooooo, from what I understand, a 2x4 is non load bearing. It’s framing. You should be just fine taking out a single 2x4 without issue. Especially in a basement. All the load bearing in a basement will be metal pillars or resting on the external concrete walls.
