Fun fact: decibels are exponential; A 180 db sound would be the loudest thing ever recorded (the krakatoa volcano was 172) and after 194 db it ceases to be sound and becomes a shockwave.

.world and .ml are servers. I’d recommend choosing a server related to your topic (programming.zone if it’s comp sci related, for example), and try to avoid piling into the largest ones (.world and .ml, etc.).

Do you mean abominations? lol.

A more powerful local transmission may be considered jamming. I’m not sure, so look up relevant law beforehand.

It already has an account, and nobody who gets that number keeps it for long, it may not even be assigned anymore because of how much spam it probably receives.

Pay cash when available, keep cards for when it’s not or it’d be a hassle (your discretion).

FYI for those reading this, it is just an image of the unopened mail. They don’t open it for you. You see who it’s from and when it is supposed to arrive.

Second this. Vanlife stuff is focused on size, mass, durability, efficiency, replaceability, repairability, modularity, price. There is nothing better than vanlife videos for learning how to live minimally within an apartment.

Some additional tips,

• folding furniture.
• Human baseline happiness returns to set points. Remove something non-essential and you may be sad at first, but will eventually stop caring.
• No couch or TV: if it cant fit on/in my car or is fragile, I’m not buying it.
• if you don’t mind appearing “poor”, you may realize that the products that best fit all the above criteria are just basic things from walmart, target, etc. Those folding plastic tables and metal bed frames, plastic tubs and drawers, actually solve their problems 90% as well as traditional products at 10% the price, while being readily available everywhere. You don’t worry about damaging them either.
• take or leave advice. Maybe you want a nice desk. I have a nice office chair. It will be hard to move, but it’s worth it. The point is you can be minimal in unimportant areas.

I’ve noticed that too. Is it related to covid you think? As in it was like this before and now we’re returning to normal progression as people rebuild social connections and lose time. Or is it that the whole dev economy is changing with layoffs and such that devs are leaving the industry altogether? Or something else even?

Spray paint until it stops getting replaced

• gmail you can forward all mail to another account.
• Youtube, you could try following your subscriptions via RSS/ATOM feed reader. It’s honestly just like regular YT but without the recommendation engine.

Fair. I just learned about and like PeerTube so far (activitypub federated video hosting), but it’s has even more infantile adoption than Lemmy does. I don’t know that anyone I follow on youtube posts there, and if they do I don’t know how to find them.

I think the panic around analog clocks comes from the scenario where you have to explain what clockwise and counterclockwise is. I have personally seen someone eventually removed from a workgroup because they couldn’t understand it.

Not that analog clocks matter, but that was an easy way to teach direction in cylindrical coordinates. What can we use now for that?

Ooo like higher powered rfid tags! The info could even then be relayed to the driver via the on screen display since theyre now all required.

Many kinds yes, idk enough to say all. Docs take a sample of the cancer DNA, turn that into an mRNA vaccine, inject it into you, and your immune system precisely destroys the cancer.

It seems interesting for many cancers, and lifesaving for already metastasized cancers.

Only downside will be lifelong wage garnishment to The Company.

+1 for syncthing.

Always get the version of the gadget with replaceable batteries unless you want a brick in 3-10 years. Additionally, prefer 18650, AA, AAA batteries, and keep some rechargeable ones around.

It’s not the biggest, but it still is a concern, and is exceedingly easily mitigated.

For privacy.com:

• great for anyone in the USA
• don’t worry about difficult subscription cancellations again, just turn that one’s dedicated card off
• I have personally blown past the daily spend limit of 250$ without issue, idk if that limit is real. The 1000$/mo may be though I’ve never hit that.
• I’ve used privacy.com for everything from Amazon to car insurance to gym memberships.

On credit freezes:

• a freeze means that your consumer report will not be shared, which means applications for credit in your name will be denied
• all USA consumer reporting agencies (data brokers) are legally required to freeze sharing of your reports for free upon your request
• you can temporarily unfreeze when you get a new credit card, apply for rental property, etc.
• don’t let them upsell it or try to direct you to another page with similar language, it is free
• credit monitoring products need to request your report to see if any new accounts have opened. Don’t monitor it, prevent it by freezing the reports
• freezes are required for any data broker, not just credit. This includes LexisNexis (job history), and presumably the ones that do rental and vehicle ownership history though i don’t know their names.

My favorite was the password set screen allowing up to 64 characters, but login fails if the password is over 32 chars.
