Hate to break it to you, but the post is a scam. Never, ever use any link provided by someone doing this kind of thing. Best case, you get some horribly printed shit. More likely, you get nothing. Worst case, it’s a card phishing scam and you not only don’t get the item, but you get your card charged for all kinds of shit.
This was a super common thing on reddit. Some of the subs I modded, it was a daily thing.
Well, I have a ps5. It gets almost daily use.
I still sometimes regret getting it instead of other options because of Sony.
That being said, that’s really the only issue. In terms of the device itself, it’s the best console I’ve had or used. If Sony got out of the way and didn’t limit what you can do with the damn things, it would be a no brainer for causal gaming. Alas, they won’t. So I can never recommend it.
Phone, it’s connect or summit, depending on which phone. I like summit’s looks better on oled screens. Otherwise it’s connect
What about my took? Am I not allowed to keep hobbits in my basement any more?
They didn’t do due diligence. It was easily prevented by double checking everything
For me, it’s because I was born with a defective give-a-shitter and that thing died completely about a decade ago.
That’s not even a joke.
But you run into it a lot. It isn’t just older folks, but it amounts to people being prone to it gradually losing their filter for it. When you’re younger, you tend to care more about perceptions. At some point, that starts going away because you realize it isn’t worth the energy it takes, and you have less energy anyway.
You can legislate it to the point that it’s only possible to spread or hand to hand, and doing so is illegal. Hell, they could go a step further and make just having a copy of it within your house illegal, even if it wasn’t installable.
In any real terms, that means the only way to keep a foss os is to build it entirely yourself. Not build it from source, but code the source from the ground up. It would take time to happen, but when enough time passes, both only do the skills necessary to do that fade, but hardware changes being closed would add another layer of difficulty. Look at the pain in the ass that android rom developers have trying to get AOSP going on a given device.
I get it, I get the dream of a dedicated and determined underground keeping Linux alove under an oppressive regime, but it isn’t realistic
If you think that some asshole won’t be willing to legislate that away, think again. It might be the last refuge, but it is entirely possible to shut that down
I’ve seen kudzu pull down a house. Wasn’t instant, or even fast really. But just by growing over it and the various tendrils doing their thing, it collapsed.
Yup, as everyone already said, it’s that the typical chinese american meal (or even a succulent aussie one) is a relatively well rounded one in terms of fiber and fats.
While you may or may not have been backed up a little, a decently built meal will go through in eight to ten hours, slide out easy, have good bulk, and also shove anything ahead of it out the door.
To maximize that effect, you want a balance of soluble and insoluble fiber (like rice alongside cabbage or broccoli, as examples). Soluble fiber holds water well, increasing bulk and helping things stay controlled. Insoluble doesn’t hold water, and is thus a nice accelerant. Too much soluble, and things can get backed up a little; too much insoluble and it all comes out like a nightmare salad dressed with crap and sewage.
Fats wise, you don’t want things greasy, but you do want it to be present in testable levels. Fats lube you up from the top down (unlike Fats, the big bear bartender at the club that lubes your bottom before going up you). It helps the digested matter slide through. Too little, and things can be difficult to get around corners; too much and imagine the pea soup scene from The Exorcist, only it’s your ass and the soup is filled with diced carrots and tomato skins.
Chinese food, be it actual Chinese cuisine, or Chinese diaspora variants, tends to be relatively well balanced. Not as well as the prototypical Mediterranean diet, but in terms of bowel motility and excretion, it does well
Stop the bleed, CPR, general first aid via whatever local resource you have (like red cross, but anyone reputable will do).
That’s going to handle any realistic scenario you’ll encounter that wouldn’t need more gear than you can carry in a small toolbox.
Tbh, when I tried it, I was completely unfamiliar with port forwarding, so it was more of a me thing.
Well, currently using mullvad because I paid cash and have months left.
However I tried ivpn with their one week option (two bucks!) At their basic plan.
I find speeds better on mullvad, but they’re otherwise comparable. I like both apps fine on android. If I was already on ivpn, I would not switch to mullvad for the minor speed uptick, since prices are comparable and switching multiple devices can be a very tiny annoyance.
In the past, I’ve used airvpn and proton for extended times (over six months). Proton is over priced, speeds were only marginally better than their free options, and iirc they were a pain about linux setup (I could be mixing them up with someone else though).
Airvpn worked great as a vpn. Port forwarding was an absolute cunt to get working for me. I suspect user error to be the biggest factor. Their android app sucks, and setting it up via other methods is preferred. But, at the time, they also lacked the built in ad/tracker blocking that I’ve enjoyed with mullvad and ivpn.
I did use nord briefly at one point. Worked fine, but at the time I was in need of port forwarding, and they had stopped offering that.
The only reason I’m maybe switching away from mullvad is the dubious political alignment of one of its owners. It really does work well for me, and is consistently faster than others I’ve tried, even with multi hop on. Even there, I’m not fully sure that the exact choice made by their part owner is exactly as bad as the common reaction is, so while I am likely switching away, I still can’t really state that it’s horrible to use the service.
The party he donated to has one big issue that’s a hell no for me, but it might not be there for everyone, and other aspects of the party slate are less objectionable, or even agreeable. In other words, I’m not mad at anyone that shrugs the donation off. It ain’t my business to judge people over such a narrow subject.
THAT being said, ivpn really is essentially the same service in terms of functionality. They even have servers that are in the same data centers. There’s several in the US in specific that are 100% in the same center once you go looking at the lists of exits. And I know there can’t be that many exact matches in cities across the world that aren’t from the same location. Since VPNs rent either virtual or hardware space in data centers to provide exits, if a given company doesn’t break from that, you won’t see a major difference between them.
I suspect it’s the amount of data that makes it hard.
Block lists, subscriptions and such is easy because it’s small and all in one place.
My comments are spread over a dozen instances, voted on by similar numbers, and responded to from a similar number (when discussion is popping anyway). This account is something like four years old? Three?
I’ve got thousands of comments, maybe a hundred posts. Whatever solution to move that is going to have to take every single one, and somehow strip out where it was originally done from to the new instance. It’s going to have to do that and then trigger all of those changes you federate again. So every instance that a comment was on gets hit by that api call, multiple times.
So they’d have to build in a way to not overwhelm an instance with any given user’s request for the change, as well as limiting how many requests for change can be active at once.
I’m sure it’s possible, but damn does that look like a lot of work for developers and a lot of extra hassle for instance owners/maintainers.
Now, what I would like to see is the ability to back up comments and posts. It isn’t really that useful to be able to transfer things, but having to manually copy/paste anything you want to preserve if an instance is filling to shutter is a pain in the ass. I don’t write anything that useful on this account, but some people do, and are even more active than me. I can’t imagine even trying to scroll back through a single year of comments to find something.
Yeah, I’ve moved Mastodon accounts several times, and no toots transfer at all. It’s manual or nothing
I’m not certain they aresurprised. Not universally. Plenty of them know that they’re going to cause a shitstorm, and either don’t care, or specifically want it…
Hell, some of them will say shit that’s not universally accepted for the same reason I do, when I do so. Sometimes it needs saying.
Lets see.
Green just tonight. Had a weird light kit, so I triple looked
Before that, last I was out of the house was… Friday? Thursday? Anyway, a yellow mustang was in the line at the drugstore.
Haven’t seen purple in ages. Orange? I wanna say a few months ago. Old vw beetle.
Pink? Last time I saw that was maybe ten, fifteen years ago. Somewhere in that range. It stuck in memory because it was a lifted pickup.
That’s on the road though. As in I was out driving and they were either doing the same, parked at a business or home, or at a car sales place. I don’t think car shows count, otherwise I would say I’ve seen every damn color out there a few months ago driving past one.
Truth is that factory paint colors are picked by what sells. And most people don’t want yellow and orange. Purple, I’m kinda surprised it isn’t an option more often
Generally, I go with a fairly robust case. Supcase makes my favorite ones, with poetic being runner-up that’s essentially the same basic idea. I tend to favor the ones with a built in paid plastic protector though. Since the cases have a solid lip on them, it saves me having to fuck with application. Arthritis is a bitch
Realistically, what you need is dogs, plural. There’s a reason almost every culture in the world has a history with them.
And a pack of them, breeding as you go, is going to be the best way to keep surviving because they can be trained to be guards, alarms, hunters, fighters, hot water bottles, and they can be food in a real emergency. That last one sucks to think about, but sacrificing one or two so that you and the pack can keep alive is just what you have to do.
Don’t get hung up by thinking a given breed is ideal, because it won’t be generalist enough. You just get medium size and large-ish dogs, and train the succeeding generations as best fits their abilities rather than trying to breed for specific jobs.
Dogs are also imminently personable. You’ll be alone, or not able to trust other humans. Having animals that can fulfill our social needs is vital, and dogs are our best option for that long term, in a survival situation.
Now, if the apocalypse is a bit less dangerous daily, keeping a population of chickens, and goats is a good idea. They’ll serve as alarms easily, and can be food or food producers. They’re both easy to tame as well, if you start young.
You can get free narcan. It’s just that it’s usually done ona state level here in the US, and isn’t always easy
