@KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

Foundation is a surprisingly competent sci-fi show in the second season, but you need to watch the first.

Also of interest: Severance, Person of Interest, The Peripheral, The Returned (French TV show), Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Invincible, Ozark, The Leftovers, Twin Peaks

My ip is banned for some reason, so I just use my vpn whenever I wanna read something there

Hickak OP ,

Can you ask questions normally even using a VPN? Could you tell me which VPN you use?

I’ve used Torguard for almost a decade with great results.

OneCardboardBox , to linux in Migrating system to NVME RAID

Not sure what motherboard you have: Most consumer boards only support “FakeRAID”, which requires a kernel driver to actually function. Good luck finding a vendor who wrote a driver for Linux.

I’d definitely recommend software RAID instead, as you’ll have better support. I like btrfs, so I’d recommend you set up your new drives to use a btrfs RAID configuration. mdadm is another option, if you really like ext4.

I’m honestly not sure which frustrates me more. That teeth and eyes are not considered important enough aspects of health to be covered under normal health insurance. Or the shit insurance that’s available even when you pay for additional policies to cover them.

Veedem ,
@Veedem@lemmy.world avatar

The lack of coverage of teeth and eyes in standard health insurance is because of dentists and optometrists opting out when insurance was becoming a thing.

BorgDrone ,

IIRC it’s because there isn’t really much of a point to add those to insurance. With health insurance some people will need very expensive treatments but lots of people don’t. It works because you spread the risk over many people. The people who don’t need expensive treatments pay more than they would without insurance, the ones that do need those treatments pay a lot less. Since you don’t know which one of those you will be insurance is a good idea.

With dental and glasses this is not the case. There isn’t too much variation in how much a person will need to spend on those during their lifetime.

If you get additional insurance for either you’ll see that the maximum payouts are pretty much the same as what you pay extra during the same period. You might as well just put the money in a savings account.

There isn’t too much variation in how much a person will need to spend on those during their lifetime.

Presbyopia literally means “old eyes” and the risks of periodontal disease increases roughly linearly with age and closer to exponentially if your a long term nicotine user; to name but one example for each.

They eyes are also often the first place to (outside of specific blood tests that are not routinely run) see signs of diabetes, thyroid disease, and certain types of brain tumors. The mouth is the leading cause of sepsis. So both are important for people of all ages from a preventative medicine standpoint.

Didros , to asklemmy in How do you feel about shopping in stores?

I think the biggest problem for the vast majority is that they can’t afford to buy much of anything. Hard to enjoy spending the day looking at all the ads for all of the products that you can’t afford.

If the instance you are on (Lemmy.ca) allows it, you simply choose “Create community” in the menu.

PP_BOY_ , (edited ) to nostupidquestions in Has anyone here ever been permanently banned from reddit? If so, is there any way to get unbanned?
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

Q1: Yes.

Q2: It’s possible but doubtful that you’ll get an account unbanned. No idea how they do it (haven’t bothered to look) but bans seem to track across IP and device. Making a new account on the same device after moving across states, my new accounts would still be banned for evasion within a few days. Couple that with the fact that most subs have karma and age minimum requirements and I just gave up after a while

I always just go to America’s Best. $80 for an eye exam and two pairs of glasses is hard to beat.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

As far as I know, that’s not around here. But the eye exam was only $30, so at least the insurance helped there. It would have only been $10, but they said if I gave them an extra $20, they’d do some imaging thing which meant they didn’t have to dilate my eyes. Totally worth an extra $20.

WeAreAllOne , to selfhosted in YUNOhost

Using it for 4-5 years. Very satisfied with it although some hiccups here and there. Not sure if a stick with it or move to cosmos-cloud.io

Churbleyimyam OP ,

That’s cool. I think I’ve been using it for nearly two years. I had no prior experience with servers and got a bit confused at times in the beginning but these days I hardly need to touch it. How come you’re thinking of switching to Cosmos just out of interest?

WeAreAllOne ,

That is a very good question why I’m thinking about switching. I guess out of curiosity and also I think (which I might be wrong) that Cosmos seems to be more secure.

Churbleyimyam OP ,

Their website does make security look like a big priority. I wonder about the security of my YUNOhost server but am not really sure how to evaluate it.

WeAreAllOne ,

That makes 2 of us. I hope someone can offer any input here…
