What are the most unconventional sources of white noise you use?
I have started listening to random American city council meetings lately for white noise. Since they’re all bureaucratic-flavored boredom anyway.
I want to get started with *arr apps - here are all the things I don't understand about (reverse-/)proxies and networking in order to get it set up.
Please can someone show off how smart and sexy they are by answering these questions. I don’t mind if you just link me to a video or guide explaining it (like I’m 5?) instead of typing it out - but please don’t just send me stuff that says something like “To forward to ports correctly, simply forward the correct ports -...
I made a mistake **RESOLVED**
last year when I went back to Arch from Manjaro, I made a critical error. I’m not sure if I was just tired when partitioning things off or what. but I made my root only 20GB instead of the 50 that I had intended.

I’m looking to get back into console gaming. PlayStation has been around for most of my life and I always played on that console. I am conflicted if I should wait for the PS5 PRO or just go get the PS5 now because what would be the net benefit of waiting versus getting a console now. What do you all think about this conundrum?...

When people setup two factor authentication on an account on sites that allow it and insert a phone number, does that site assume by default that it's their own number or do they see it as "a" number?
I ask inspired by experiences with Google. Google/YouTube, for as long as I can remember, always had a strange habit of assuming absolutely anyone even near to you is you. Back when I had my first YouTube account (which was also back when I was in a completely different part of the world), for the last few years of having it, it...

Does anyone use a coffee grind sieve to evaluate their grinder performance?
I’ve been using my grinder (Baratza maestro plus) for ten years now, and I got it used. I’ve replaced some parts (e.g., burrs), but I’m wondering if it’s finally time to let it go. It seems like it’s not grinding as consistently as it once was, but I’m thinking it would be good to quantify it....
