They’re semi-famous now, but it was actually a friend of mine who originally wrote them. They’re a list of ten rules of thumb to go by when using the internet. They imply things like the potential drawbacks of assuming someone’s other identities, how to caution against archive forgery, when the best time is to complain...

I got my hearing professionally checked today and all is normal. But I have difficulty hearing people I am dining with, talking in restaurants. Is it me, or is the music just too damn loud?!

I hope questions are allowed here. I am curios if there is a different sort of scientific calendar which does not use the birth of Jesus as a reference like AD and BC. For example Kurzgesagt’s calendars use the the current year plus 10000 as this represents the human better or something like that....

I feel like I’m driving in an ice level and the game keeps telling my car is gonna explode. 😭

I installed Pipewire a while ago to fix some audio problems. Now it’s time for the 22 upgrade. Can I just run the upgrade or will the existing Pipewire installation cause problems? Has anyone done that already?

Hello! What is the best alternative to Telegram channels in Fediverse? I need platform where I can post messages in different topics and users can subscribe to them.

Are you radically different than your younger self? Are there key elements that have stayed the same? Most parts? Do you feel as if you've followed the "roadmap of life" or forged your own path? Have there been "chapters" or do things all sort of slide into one contiguous flow? Share what you'd like!

I’m having a hell of a time with my current ISP (sitting at 18 days now without a connection) and I’m having to bite my tongue every time I’m talking to them (Remember The Human and all that)...

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I need some advice. Tomorrow at 16:00 I need to pee into a cup at the doctor’s office for a drug test and I am a very shy pee-er. Should I hold my morning pee from 8:00 to 16:00 to make sure I have enough of it or should I pee as soon as I wake up and drink water throughout...

I have a large DVD collection containing lots of niche titles that don’t appear to be on any public tracker. I would like to share my love of these films with the world....

I currently host a single-user Mastodon server for myself but it’s on a very small VPS and I’m wanting to migrate to Pleroma because it’s more lightweight. Is there any way to transfer my Mastodon account to Pleroma without doing the standard migration since I have the Mastodon database for my instance? This is so all my...

I’ve recently read about it, and it seems straight forward....

I couldn’t find much information on this online, so I was wondering if anyone has any similar experience....

I travel a lot, and talk to a lot of different people. I’ve noticed that while people certainly do have differing opinions, it’s not as extreme as what I see online. I’m starting to feel like all this hate and division is manufactured. Has anyone else noticed, that when you actually talk to real people things are far less...

I know, lame post, but I wanted to say that Linux gaming has gotten soooo much better, to the point that I honestly think my games are running better than on Windows. I’ve played so many games, but notable ones are Halo: MCC, MS Flight Sim 2020, Satisfactory, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and right now I’m starting a full...

I know, I know. I really shouldn’t use NTFS with Linux if I plan to write to it, especially not my only backup drive, which is my external media drive for libreELEC as well....

Now I can be a cheapskate, but I always hunt for bargain deals and sales. For me it’s with clothes or Blu Ray triple deals and charity shops....
