Do you have issues with the doorbell rebooting when the button is pressed and it's cold outside?

Gen Z is the first generation dumber than their parents, neuroscientist claims ( www.vice.com )

Gen Z has managed something no modern generation pulled off before. After more than a century of steady academic gains, test scores finally went the other direction. For the first time ever, a new generation is officially dumber than the previous one. ...

"After class, students returned to phones, tablets, and laptops, bouncing between social feeds and bite-sized explanations of material they never sat with for very long. Horvath described the outcome as students trained to skim. Skimming feels efficient, but it doesn’t build depth."

Anyone update yet? Any known issues I should be aware of before updating?

USSEthernet ,

I'm on 2.4.x so that's comforting. I've heard of some horror stories with Immich updates in the past.

I recently stood up a Miniflux instance. Any reason in particular to look at FreshRSS?

USSEthernet ,

Thank you for your insight.

This is what I do. It's under settings > VPN > VPN server.

Then on my phone I run Tasker to auto connect to my VPN when it disconnects from home wifi.

As others said, dish soap over IPA. I've also had shite PLA before as others mentioned. Find a good brand and stick with it. Also, magigoo is amazing. Basically glue but not glue. Designed to stick when the bed is hot then release when it cools. I add magigoo any time I have a long print where I worried about potential warping or lifting.

Saw this as an option in TrueNAS earlier and will probably be standing this up when I get home today. I was curious about the difference between this and Stirling, but that appears to have been answered. Thank you for what you do and I'll definitely give it a try.

Update: got it up and running. Works great. Wife deals with PDFs a lot and she loves it. Thanks again!

USSEthernet ,

So just got this up and running yesterday and today my wife used it for the first time. She did what she needed to do, but we may have come across a bug. I don't know. She had to take a 72 page PDF and break it out into multiple smaller PDFs. While she was doing that, multiple pages in the preview window would keep going blank/white. Not sure if you're aware of something like that, if not I can try to reproduce and grab logs and post them on github.

Just a reminder for anyone that has a problem with this, but still uses the service... You're part of the problem. If you don't like it, boycott.

tinnitus treatment

my tinnitus is worsening. especially upsetting is it happened after sitting along at a relatively low-volume karaoke for two hours --- now my right ear has worsened. i had grown accustomed to how it was the last decade or so since i had sat in an orchestra, then played some electrical instruments with various people, then had ...

USSEthernet ,

Second this, it works but is very temporary. Sometimes getting those few extra silent seconds is relieving.

USSEthernet ,

Stop using the fucking service! I'm so sick of people complaining about all of these tech companies, but they continue to use it. People need to realize they have an addiction issue and treat that shit.

USSEthernet ,

100% agree, just listened to it recently and wow was it boring. That and Foundation, thought since liked the show that I'd like the books, wrong. Those are the only 2 books so far that I just couldn't get into. But I suffered through to the end with both. Even started the second Foundation book and then asked myself why I was torturing myself.

Wow what a great wife...

For those of you who enjoy open-world games, how big of a world is too big?

There are already some huge maps out there, Just Cause 2 and 3 both have maps at around 1000km^2^, and those games are beloved by their players. But if the next Cyberpunk game was announced with Night City now being the size of an actual large metropolis, say like New York, would you say that's too big? What determines what "too ...

Trump is building ‘one interface to rule them all.’ It’s terrifying. ( www.mercurynews.com )

The Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to combine access to the sensitive and personal information of Americans into a single searchable system with the help of shady companies should terrify us – and should inspire us to fight back. ...

This is what I do. I have a VM for torrents and a VM sandbox to check stuff that I'm concerned about. At the host level I disable any type of sharing with the host, no copy paste, no sharing disks, nothing. The VM only gets the storage I assign to it and once I validate then I'll detach and mount it to the host.

USSEthernet , (edited )

I use Hyper-V because I run server 2022 and it's free. Hyper-V allows you to disable any host resource sharing in the VM settings.

On my sandbox VM I'll scan the files then install and scan, then run the software and scan. I use both defender and I think malwarebytes. It's a lot of extra work for no gain, but I'd rather be too careful than risk installing malware.

USSEthernet ,

Hyper-V is the hypervisor that the VM runs on. Yeah I don't really know which malware scanners are the go to ones anymore. Just figure if I can get it to pass through 2 different ones ok then it's probably ok. I'm sure there's some other good ones out there. I've heard of ESET and virustotal, but I'm not familiar.

USSEthernet ,

The main settings that I mentioned are under integration services settings on the VM. There's probably plenty of guides available on YouTube for Hyper-V along with the official Microsoft documentation (which probably isn't that great).

Check out Hacksmith's new Smith blade.

I caved for the pro. I just carry a cheap Kershaw right now. Would be nice to have something light with multiple tools.

I'll have to check that one out when I finish the Old Man's War series.

I'm not sure why schools are allowing unfettered access to the internet on school devices.

USSEthernet ,

I'm the same way. My wife actually gives me shit for it because she doesn't understand how I can't have more feelings for those around me. I don't think I'd shed a tear or even feel that emotional for anyone in my extended family dying. Just my wife and kids. Makes me question if there's something wrong with me.

She can tell me some sad real life story and it doesn't affect me. But movies, shows, books, and games can have me tear up or bawling.

Yea the bagpipes playing Amazing Grace gets me for some reason. If they played that at a funeral I might cry.

I was on a jury for a workers comp case. Guy was suing some corpo because they denied his workers comp just because. Our entire jury was like "fuck that scummy corpo lawyer" and we sided with the guy who was a dedicated rail worker for like 20+ years. Felt like a small win.

Saw on another post that the new price point they are looking at is $599. Nothing confirmed so take with a grain of salt.

Meh, I already have an ESP32 meshtastic device and that thing chews through the 3000mah battery I have connected. I don't need another power hungry ESP32.

I'm replaying it right now, started about 2 weeks ago and play a bit where I can. The only thing is that I'm playing the PC version and I don't like the controls one bit. If I were to recommend it to anyone, I'd say just stick with an emulated copy.

F-Droid and Samsung "Auto Blocker"

On Samsung Phones. there is a function called "Auto Blocker". If this is enabled, this blocks installing apps from unknown sources and via USB and ADB. In principle, this is a useful feature, but it also prevents the installation of updates via F-Droid. Even if F-Droid is classified as trustworthy in general and can therefore ...
