YSK: you may be able to add your children as authorized users on your credit cards.

Why YSK: Some banks have no minimum age for authorized users, and report credit usage for them. If you have a credit card you don’t use much, you can add your kids as authorized users, set up a reoccurring payment from the card and an automatic payment to the card, and then forget about it. Your kid could become an adult with...

it was fun Reddit but it's over

Ya know what? I’m really enjoying Lemmy. The Fediverse is (at present) smaller than Reddit but feels welcoming and at the same time much more “exclusive” (?). It’s just that you have to make the effort to join the Fediverse… …and I’m not going back. I’m getting as much out of Lemmy as I was getting from RIF but...

YSK: When traveling abroad, hand gestures can mean different things in different cultures.

Why YSK: No sense in making the locals mad unless you mean to. In some Middle Eastern countries, a thumbs-up is comparable to the middle finger. A peace sign in the UK is OK if your palm is facing away from you; otherwise, it’s an insult. Pointing with your index finger is offensive in Malaysia. An OK symbol is not OK in...

YSK: if you think taking an ambulance to an Emergency Room because you think it'll get you seen sooner. DON'T!

Why YSK: If you’re injured or ill but it’s not life or limb threatening and you decide to call an ambulance thinking it’ll be faster and you’ll be seen first… WRONG. Ambulance crews very frequently will advise the hospital staff that you “can wait”. Then we’ll plop you into a wheel chair and push you into the...

is it better to use subdomains or paths?

I have a few selfhosted services, but I’m slowly adding more. Currently, they’re all in subdomains like linkding.sekoia.example etc. However, that adds DNS records to fetch and means more setup. Is there some reason I shouldn’t put all my services under a single subdomain with paths (using a reverse proxy), like...

You'd probably get more redditors to migrate if there was an old reddit type style

Apparently Lemmy copied the new reddit layout which shoves everything into the middle of the screen and wastes a massive amount of space. Even on the monitor I oriented vertically this is the case: the post I’m typing right now is using like 30% of the available screen real-estate and wasting the other 2/3rds....
