Every few months some new user joins and says it’s be great to just mirror reddit content here.

Nobody wants it. It destroys engagement.

I bought a Bedjet about 8 months ago, best 8 months of sleep I’ve ever had. No subscription, no cloud bullshit, it’s integrated into my home assistant with a esp32 bluetooth relay. Worth checking out.

For pc, very. I spent hours downloading rips of games off a BBS. One of the few games I bought was duke nukem 3d and that’s just because I wanted the build level editor that I couldn’t find a download of.

For consoles, less so. I had a pirated “100 in 1” nes cart of from China but all the games were crap. Cartridge copying wasn’t a thing.

I vaguely remember a n64 device that could load cartridge images off a zip drive or something. Nobody had one though.

Piracy became bigger again when the ps1 mod chip came out and we had brand new cd burners. Dreamcast too.

1. Whois privacy hard yes.

3. Nothing.
4. Yes, but see #1

I’m partial to porkbun myself. Namecheap isn’t as good as they used to be. Avoid godaddy

I’m quite happy with Thunder

The science behind this one confuses me. Bluetooth is short range, and gps is too low power to penetrate. There’s no way a gps will get lock from inside a ship, and someone would need a compatible app and internet to relay it out.

The issue isn’t the tracker, it’s the person with their personal phone and the app that relayed the position of the tracker while they were in cell range of the shore.

If no referrer header is sent, CF will let it through. You can copy + paste the url into a new tab to get to it, but I’m guessing some apps don’t provide a referrer.

Yeah I use VL for lemmy.ca and it’s super quick and lightweight, but getting what you want into grafana can be difficult.

Elastic is heaaaaavy. You might want to check out Loki, I haven’t used it but I think it’d be easier to get started with than Victoria logs since it integrates tightly with grafana

VL is really about aggregation, not displaying it. You’d probably just need to setup a grafana dashboard with filters for all your normal traffic

That should be a Canadian flag. You can thank lululemon for it.

People get into the mood of bidding and lose all rationality.

You can buy 100 marbles for like $10 online

I don’t. Of my 120tb, I only care about the 4tb of personal data and I push that to a cloud backup. The rest can just be downloaded again.

I was just asking a question? In fact almost the exact question you answered? Your comment would just be constructive instead of rude without the first two sentences. Thanks for the info anyways.

Despite their best intentions they can’t protect their child forever. They need to have an honest discussion together so op understands why, but I still feel it’s reasonable to try and do something to grow themselves. It’s not going to get easier as the family gets older and the parents eventually can no longer work themselves.

Why won’t your parents let you get a job? You’re gonna need to be an adult at some point, over sheltering you is just going to hurt you more in the long run.

Why are you relying on example.com as a health check? To be really blunt about it, if you’re using it then you’ve misconfigured your stuff.

From their docs:

These web services are provided as best effort, but are not designed to support production applications. While incidental traffic for incorrectly configured applications is expected, please do not design applications that require the example domains to have operating HTTP service.

Many (crows, racoons, probably more) will use water to soften food, which is kinda similar. Control of fire I think is too difficult for proper cooking.

Based on what? A quick peek and I didn’t see any of the stuff I expect from LLMs
