Is it worth closing the lid on a toilet before flushing?
This seems like something that should be true, but I think I remember seeing a Mythbusters episode where they decided it didn't make a difference. That show was more about entertainment than science, so I wondered if there was a more rigorous study done? I've definitely seen splashes of water(?) come out from flushes so that...
Just finished "Shogun" by James Clavell
Wow, what a great adventure! If you haven’t heard of it, it’s about an English sea captain who gets marooned in Japan around 1600, and has to adapt to Japanese culture. Lots of politicking, romance, and decapitation. Very loosely based on real people too....

what is the best way to drop out a threaded screw?
So I’ve got some rusty old floor screws that I can’t loosen with a Phillips head (they’re old, so I’m betting it’s not posidrv). The notches are all rusted and it hardly bites at all....

Enterprise era new trek show?
I’m not sure if this is the right community or not, but I’m curious what y’all would think if they came out with a new show set in the Enterprise era. Ent is one of my favorite shows, and I always felt like we got screwed out of some really compelling TV when they ended they stopped making Trek after ENT ended. That era of...
Gigabit switch on a non-gigabit router?
I have a fairly old router that doesn’t support gigabit. I also have a network switch that does support gigabit. If I connect two devices directly to the switch, then connect the switch up to the router, will the connection between the two devices support gigabit? If I’m understanding correctly the router would just act as...
Q: Gnu Make 4.4 on Ubuntu LTS (22.04 and 20.04)
I’m working on a hobby project of mine which requires Gnu Make 4.4. I am now trying to setup the project’s Travis pipeline on github. Travis, understandably, only offers LTS Ubuntu images and sadly Gnu Make 4.4 is not available on those images....

Starting my Self-host journey and need a little [Help] to start
Hi Everyone! Lately I’ve been captivated by the idea of self-hosting, and 2 days ago I got an old laptop from my sister and now I think it’s time for me to actually try. I have ZERO experience: I’ve always been interested in Tech and I like to try and play with lot of stuff, but apart from super basic use of bash and some...

How has Instagram largely avoided being associated with Facebook/Meta?
I’d guess the simple answer may be that people don’t care/know, but for those that have ditched Facebook for whatever reason, yet still use Instagram, it’s a little surprising....
