I’m having my comments I made the past few days receive zero engagements. It’s not just me losing the early bird lottery too; my replies to a highly engaged comment has zero likes, while several comments immediately after me has double digits. It’s nothing incendiary at all, just normal people’s comments. But something...

Hi, I’m sure there’s a fair number of us who would like to see fantastic stories for the WPs that we find go unanswered....

Two months ago, I upgraded from my loyal 3 year old friend aka Note 10 Lite to the S22 Ultra (for a low price of 350€ from a trust worthy seller). It’s an upgrade yeah, but apart from the way better camera, long software support, and the slight convenience of wireless charging, I don’t feel like it’s a huge difference....

In my last post I gently prodded your imagination with geometric connections between the dark phenomena in our cosmos and quantum loop gravity. That paper was a work from my research hosted at www.researchhub.com where I have slowly built up this notion of a geometric connection to dark energy and matter....

I’m vaguely interested in having a few different encrypted folders on my computer, with different passwords on each. I don’t have any particular strong requirements. It’s more of a velleity; mostly just to try it so that I know more about it....

So with open source software more on my mind lately I was wondering - while I get the benefits of transparency and such, how safe is it? If the source code is available to all, isn’t it easier to breach for people (like the recent cookies hack)? If I’d have an open source password manager, would it be easier for people to...

I'm curious to see what information I'm blasting out to the various services I depend on for internet (ISP, DNS, probably Cloudflare, etc.)....

Barrels of Maker’s Mark age under a gloriously colorful blown glass ceiling installation. From my trip to Kentucky this week.

I’m trying to find something and it’s not easy. I’m using claws now and I doesn’t seem to have dark mode....

I’m slowly but surely switching everything I use to FOSS alternatives and after using Gboard for a while thanks to it’s good swipe typing, I moved to OpenBoard for the same reason. Unfortunately, the fact that I can’t auto-fill my password via 1Password is bugging me (on top of less-than-ideal autocorrect). You guys know...

Not relationship relayed or anything so not rel advice. Should I ppst in general discussions?? But its not a discussion just a story I wanna share...

Hey everyone,...

Poppy and I made a wrong turn on the way to the Arboretum. He had been promised a long walk, and demonstrated his best nonviolent protest tactic by refusing to look at me.

In the early 2000s, everyone in my bubble knew that PHP was a security nightmare, only seconded by Flash. In the meantime, Adobe gave up on Flash, but PHP is still alive and rocking....

I have qBittorrent in a docker container. Looking to create a torrent. All the tutorials I see are for qBittorrent running on bare metal. Does anyone know how I do this? My container has access to the file.

I’ve noticed that sometimes when a particular VM/ service is having issues, they all seem to hang. For example, I have a VM hosting my DNS (pihole) and another hosting my media server (jellyfin). If Jellyfin crashes for some reason, my internet in the entire house also goes down because it seems DNS is unable to be reached for...

After a recent data loss, I’m reconsidering various CODECs before re-encoding my re-pirated “loot”. I’m looking to maintain a good balance between quality and file size as my previous files were HUGE. I’ve read about x264, h264, h265 & vp9 for video and it’s between AAC or AC-3 for audio. I’m looking for long-term...

I have an old microsoft wireless ball mouse, i have the dongle but it has ps/2 connectors (i know about ps/2 to usb but i dont want to use it as the dongle is big). Is there way to use a usb wifi card(tp-link) as the reciever and make it work?

I have a little side business of doing minor repairs on phones and tablets and such....

Pretty much the title. We bought a pig, not knowing about boar taint so didn’t inquire about the state of the pig (gender, age) beforehand. First cook and it’s heavily present....
