VPN into your home lab isn’t about privacy, it’s more about reducing your exposed services to the public internet.

If you have only the ports needed to VPN back into your network, then the rest is hidden behind your router. You only need to fully secure one thing, instead of having to ensure that everything is 100% patched.

It’s not the only thing you should be doing, but it does help reduce the probability of a breach.

I cut my spending to the bone. I can afford to spend more, but I don’t see any reason to participate in the economy more than I have to.

That’s how people click on them. I follow a science interview podcast and they hired a new producer that started changing the YouTube thumbnails to those generic dumb click bait ones.

The host says he hates it, but can’t argue that whenever they make a thumbnail like that, the views are significantly higher.

In the end, you do what draws eyeballs. The content is what matters.

Yeah, it’s been hit and miss with downloading from the Kindle. I mostly get books from the library and strip the DRM from there. I figure it’s a win-win, because the library gets a record of the checkout, but then I get to read it at my leisure while the next person gets to read it.

Ted Lasso is just Major League, but fútbol.

This currently works, but I don’t know if it will continue working forever - probably not too much longer after this announcement.

The “old Kindle PC app” might keep working in the future, but my guess is that it’s going to be done soon as well.

edit: One thing I ran into was after installing the kindle app and turning off the auto-update, it still updates. So keep the installer handy and just reinstall it as needed.

I’ve tried a bunch of times, but haven’t really found anything that’s been particularly useful as a steamdeck 3d printed accessory. Probably the closest I’ve come is a steamdeck gridfinity storage solution for my desk, and a stand to play if I felt like using an xbox controller instead of holding the deck.

Here’s the ones linked from the video, nothing in there was super interesting. Best one of the bunch was the charger insert, but I’ve found it to be annoying to use. I just go back to a small bag to stuff the charger into.

Please don’t stuff a firearm in your waist band without a proper holster.

This YouTube video covers it pretty well. Part of a trend away from suspenders and using less fabric changed mens style to low waist, along with people coming back from war thinking the uniforms were more practical.

I don’t block them, I down vote them.

Had an 80’s CB. Was great as long as you kept it under 65mph.

I really love the late 70’s versions though.

The drivers license number has information about gender and birthdate encoded into it. You can see enough of the number to know that this is someone who registered as female, and has a recorded birth date of 29 July '98. I assume this person isn’t 126 years old, so we’ll say they’re 26.

You can tell it’s an Illinois license, because no other state is as obsessed with Lincoln. (Edit: you can also read the Illinois in the seal in the back left)

Cool thing about Illinois drivers licenses is that we know OP is 26 now.

The owners never made the claim, I doubt they even know they owned it.

They probably found out they owned the benchy license because of the backlash.

It was just a huge messy issue triggered by one random person who knew Prusa would have to respond because they are hosted in Prague.

Reagan was a big jump in shit, but before that Nixon did a ton of damage, and before that Reconstruction didn’t hold the traitors accountable for their treason, and before that the Founding Fathers wrote a document that assumed everyone was going to play fair, and before that…

You mean HG Wells’s The Time Machine: The Series?

I’m still waiting for the spinoff series where they cover what he Morlocks are doing while the Eloys play with pudding and run around in their hobbit houses.

If inflation continues to rise, then the value of your dollar will go down over time.

$1000 today is going to be worth a lot more than $1000 in 30 years.

Unless your interest rates are much higher than inflation, just save the money.

This plan was always doomed from the start.

The aliens left us a terraforming machine just under Mons Olympus. Send Arnold up there to turn it on and we’ll have an atmosphere on Mars in minutes.
