  Get a new phone for use while traveling, then dump it when you’re back home. Leave your services behind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Universe would die before monkey with keyboard writes Shakespeare, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Two Australian mathematicians have deemed it misleading, working out that even if all the chimpanzees in the world were given the entire lifespan of the universe, they would “almost certainly” never pen the works of the bard.

  all the chimpanzees in the world

  infinite monkeys

  I’m glad they had fun doing some math, but this is not news, nor is the original saying misleading. With an infinite number of monkeys, a smaller-yet-still-infinite number of them would produce the works of Shakespeare. The reason this saying works is because of the concept of infinity, not some random finite number.

  Doctor Snooty McFace, Esquire

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do PhDs HAVE to use Dr?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No one has to do anything. Live your life. Choose how you want to be addressed.

  You don’t hear lawyers going around being called Dr. Lastname, despite having JDs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where to start as a beginner⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Start with running something in docker. Probably get containous/whoami running, then portainer, then either traefik or caddy.

  Once you’ve got that all working, you can run anything you want easily.

  If you’ve got an old machine lying around, you can use that to start.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you tasty to mosquitoes? Study offers clues into when and why they bite⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Empirical studies show that yes, yes I am.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SMTP provider⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Check out MXRoute.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There are some domain names that have requirements but nothing like you’re thinking. The only one I would consider automatically providing useful information would be .gov.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do rotating plates in microwaves help when heating food?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I always forget that. Instinct is to put things in the center.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you consider making a sandwich to be "cooking?"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the sandwich. If you’re constructing a sandwich without using heat, I would consider that “making lunch” or “making dinner” but not explicitly cooking. I’m not sure that the difference matters in any significant situations, though. Why are you asking?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Programmatic access to discord⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Check out Discord’s Webhooks; many applications publish notifications through them. Should be as easy as sending a message to a specific URL, I think.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is there no Christmas version of Spirit Halloween?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe you’re looking for Christmas tree farms.

  Also, there are so many year-round Christmas shops.

  Also also, Spirit is mostly for costumes, which aren’t relevant to Christmas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I alleviate bitterness due to lack of intimacy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Therapy. Also focusing on your hobbies and filling your life with joys that don’t focus on a datemate. But definitely therapy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where Are You Supposed To Buy Pajama Shirts?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They usually come as pajama sets that have matching pants and shirts. I’d check places like Target, JCPenney, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Private Security Camera⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Check out ReoLink cameras; you can set them up and use them fully locally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some things you can do to maintain your teeth when you don't have health insurance and can't afford dental care?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can get dental work for cheap or free by reaching out to dental schools near you. They always need patients for their students.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I get help with getting my discuss.privacyguides.net account taken off hold?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you need to confirm an email address?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do trees know?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And thank goodness! I love watermelon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The trouble is, you’re looking for internal consistency to their arguments. You need to look at the theme of the arguments: namely, they don’t like the “black people exist in the USA” part.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is 0.3 quarts extra too mich oil in a car?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That… seems… bad… but what do I know

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any MythTV Users Here?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like it’s mostly for live TV? I haven’t had cable in a long time, don’t really need to record things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it practically impossible for a newcomer selfhost without using centralised services, and get DDOSed or hacked?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m in this comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What tool do you use to display your self-hosting infrastructure⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And you can self host it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Traefik conditional certificate for same URL⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would you need to continue using the self-signed certificates for the Cloudflare connection? Just use the valid certificate for all connections.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here is what 6 decommissioned servers looks like. My Jellyfin will be very happy⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn, where’d you find that deal?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you handle family requests that you disagree with?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, you don’t have to watch it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do companies get out of rewards programs⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck, now I really want Oreos.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Immich release v1.99.0 (and new logo!)⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I still need to get this back up after the database requirement took it down

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, since it would have created atoms, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Question] RaspPi5 with Pi-Hole, Tailscale and Traefik⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, that would work. Highly recommend installing docker and running in containers.
