• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are locks and keys mass produced?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Most of the parts of a lock are the same. However, the small internal parts, like pins and springs, are variable and can be changed out, usually by a locksmith. Those are the parts that require a matching key.

  There is no such thing as maintenance free hosting. There is just saving it all up for the eventual outage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up with "Plex Servers"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  First off, only a subset of cursive systems connect all letters. These are called Continuous Cursive. Second, many cursive writing systems do include numbers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s a cute way to express that what I do is pretty neat and also that I’m a real human being, not some corporate robot

  Might want to be careful with that. Lately a lot of people see emoji in writing where you wouldn’t typically expect it to be a sign of ChatGPT writing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal for mothers to constantly talk to their children about their experience (particulary the part about their pain and suffering) of their pregnancy and giving birth?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people actually believe those "gurus" on the internet that supposedly "give advice"? These seems very sussy and feel scam-adjacent, isn't it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  People want to believe because they wish badly for the money. Back in the late 90s my friends and I keep seeing papers advertising a guarenteed money making system for only $2.

  Finallt one of my friends could not resist and ordered it.

  He got instructions to put signs all over offering the money making system for $2.

  “As you paid for it you can aee that it works.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reverse Proxy: a single point of failure in my lab⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you ask me, you are better off focusing on monitoring, fast detection, and auto-healing in a homelab rather than High Availability. I use an ancient tool called monit and newer tools like uptime kuma for this. Detection and restart is easier than having 2 of everything.

  I’ve been using Quad9 DoH for a few months now. Very happy with it so far.
