SweetSitty , to youshouldknow in YSK: The term "Genuine Leather", it is not to reassure you that their product is made of leather, rather its the name of the lowest grade of leather a company can use.

You should also know that technically only the piece marked as genuine leather needs to actually be genuine leather. If you buy something made with multiple pieces, the rest could be made from any material so long as that one piece is genuine.

“Made with natural and artificial flavors”… So just… made with artificial flavors then…

CountZero ,

You know what’s cool about “natural flavors”? They just have to be found in nature to call them that. They can be synthesized in a lab and still be a “natural flavor.”

P.S. don’t fall for the naturalistic fallacy. This comment is about tricky vocabulary used by the food industry. Whether or not a chemical is found in nature has nothing to do with whether it is good or bad for you. Arsenic is natural.

ShadyGrove ,

Yup! “All Natural” is just a marketing term, there’s no regulations behind it. USDA Organic is a real thing though, farms need to be organic for 7 years to be labeled that, if I recall correctly at least

cichy1173 , to selfhosted in Is a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 enough?

For PiHole it will be OK, but for Nextcloud or Jellyfin is too slow. It is better to buy used MiniPC/Terminal - it will be more powerful

As someone from outside the West, the idea of just wiping with a tissue paper, and not using a bidet or its equivalent grosses me out tbh.

Wear, not so much. Mostly to sit on!

Wolfangs Channel had a video about that a few weeks ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlcVx-k-02E

I didn’t try it myself yet, but judging from his other videos, he’s not a complete idiot, so I assume it’s solid advice.

tburkhol , to selfhosted in What are your offsite backup solutions

2 spare drives and a safe deposit box ($10/yr). Swap the bank box once a month or so. My upstream bandwidth isn’t enough to make cloud saves practical, and if anything happens, retrieving the drive is faster than shipping a replacement, nevermind restoring from cloud.

Of course, my system is a few TB, not a few dozen.

zephyr , to youshouldknow in YSK - X percent of Y is equal to Y percent of X. So, if you want to find out what 7% of 50 is, you could instead find out what 50% of 7 is, which is 3.5. This means that 7% of 50 is also equal to 3.5.

Percentage is just a fancy form of decimal point. I just multiply them together then move decimal digit to the left twice.

damn all these good tips for doing quick percentage math @.@

stallmer ,

This is true for quite a few other things as well. For instance, “hertz” really just means “per second”. However, it’s easier to write/type “Hz” instead of “s^-1”.

I’m from the US. While I have travelled to locales where they are commonplace, I never actually tried one. When lockdown and the tp crisis started, however, I purchased one online. I now hate having to use any lavatory that doesn’t have a bidet.

Q - Doesn’t it feel weird? A - No. Some people are worried that it may feel sexual. It doesn’t. It’s just a localized shower on your ass, which is something you hopefully do regularly.

Q - Won’t it just push detritus away from the epicenter and make a mess? A - It can, if the bidet has narrow spray. Mine does this. Just do a quick shimmy that makes the jet draw a decreasing radius spiral.

Q - Doesn’t everything get wet? A - Some bidets have air dryers, but in the absence of, yes. Keep tp in the lav to address this. The quick wipe to address this still saves a ton of tp.

I… did not know this was a concern? lol

@ThiccSemperTyrannis@lemmy.world avatar

I should clarify that I live in a remote area where a lot of people are homophobes. Anything directed towards one’s ass is, as the kids would say, sus af to these folks.

ratz30 ,

The I don’t wipe or wash my ass because that’s gay crowd. What a special bunch.

CmdrShepard ,

The “let me be hyperfocused on sexualizing other men’s anuses to show how straight and manly I am” crowd.

ReaderTunesOctopus ,

These people have serious issues. So, cleaning your butt makes you gay? Is toothbrushing OK, though?

Hogger86 ,

I have to say I do LIKE the feeling of the jet hitting my sphincter. I mean it’s not full hunnnrrrr but it is …pleasent

Not to be all hyper pagan or anything but maybe just don’t buy skin?

seeCseas OP ,

It has its uses.

SturgiesYrFase , to asklemmy in What podcasts do you recommend?
@SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml avatar

Behind the Bastards, a deep dive into the various shit people of history. Episode one is Saddam Hussein: Erotic Novelist.

There’s nearly 700 episodes, and I’ve yet to run tio a dud. Loads of great guests. My only gripe is that it’s a touch Amerocentric, but other than that I’d recommend it to basically anyone. Not kid friendly, in case that wasn’t obvious.

I think it’s only fair to add that this podcast has a very left leaning bias. I’m not saying that that is bad, just being objective.

Nilz , to selfhosted in Welcome to [email protected] - What do you selfhost?

Hi there. My first post in this community.

I’m currently running:

  • Pi-hole
  • Plex Media Server
  • Grafana
  • Torrent server
  • Monica
  • Shaarli
  • Matrix instance
  • Arch package cache
  • Several game servers such as Minecraft and Terraria
  • VM running Volvo software to troubleshoot my cars.

**My hardware:**I used to run it all on a Supermicro x9drd-7ln4f-jbod with dual Xeon E5-2670 v2 with 16x16GB ECC ram and 6x 3TB disks in raidz2 for storage and 2x 60gb Intel SSDs for OS. I started with less and upgraded towards this configuration but it was consuming 300 watt idle which was just unacceptable.

So earlier this year I upgraded to an ASRock Rack x470D4U with Ryzen 7 5700x and 4x32GB ECC (non-registered) ram and 6x 2TB SSDs in raidz2. 1 ssd is in the nvme slot on the motherboard, 4 are in a 4x4 bifurcation card in the 16x slot and 1 more in a 4x riser. All PCIe lanes of the CPU are used. This setup is not possible with an AMD CPU with integrated GPU since it will take up 4 PCIe lanes (you can guess how I know). It uses about 20 watt idle without any containers and VMs running. I initially didn’t want to move away from Supermicro but the ASRock Rack motherboard has IPMI so I’m not missing out on much.

Hardware and software suggestions are welcome :D

Scored myself a bidet during that TP shortage at the beginning of COVID lockdown and it’s been a game changer. Get one because your butt will especially thank you after a spicy Thai or Indian night. Spicy poo and mud butt? What are those?

I still use TP, but it’s now for drying off.

Here’s another alternative, I save the article into Pocket and that usually works.
