twinnie , to asklemmy in What has been your best financial move in life?

Securing a long-term fixed rate mortgage just before the war in Russia. Other than that it’s basically been any time I saved money rather than spending it.

twinnie , to linux in I'm Done With Windows, Are you?

I like the idea of ditching Windows because of all the telemetry but I just need a machine that’s going to do what I need it to do without a fucking battle. Everything on Linux is just so difficult, it’s like every time I give it a go I wind up spending hours trying to figure out how to do something that would take ten seconds on Windows. I wanted to make a desktop shortcut that would run a script with root privileges. On Windows that’s right click, drag, and select the option to make a shortcut. Takes a few seconds. Took me ages to figure it out in Ubuntu, mostly because it wasn’t working as it should. Yesterday I did an apt upgrade on another machine and it wiped out the WiFi. I’m still working on fixing that and now I’m looking into compiling my own drivers.

twinnie , to asklemmy in Why would one crave pleasure, food and entertainment when they should be productive and how does one go about stopping it?

When I was at university I couldn’t work at home at all and I had to force myself to go to the library on campus and work there. I later learnt I had ADHD though, so that didn’t help.

twinnie , to news in New weight loss drugs are out of reach for millions of older Americans because Medicare won't pay

Life hack: Eat less food to lose weight rather than spending $1300 a month on weight loss drugs.

twinnie , to technology in 2023 was the year that GPUs stood still

I just upgraded from a 970GTX to a 2060S I bought on AliExpress. Bargain.

twinnie , to technology in Lapsus$: GTA 6 hacker sentenced to life in hospital prison

Despite having his laptop confiscated, Kurtaj managed to breach Rockstar, the company behind GTA, using an Amazon Firestick, his hotel TV and a mobile phone.

twinnie , to selfhosted in How can I set up a VPN that will use the client IP address for the connection?

This can’t feasibly be done over the internet. An IP address must be unique as that’s how it finds it out of billions of other devices. There are situations where the same IP can route to different locations but that’s regional and way beyond what you’re trying to achieve here. It’s how something like 8.8.8.8 works without sending all the requests to a single location.

If your server is sending out traffic as 1.2.3.4 and then tries to send the encrypted traffic to the client at 1.2.3.4 the traffic would either be routed back to itself or the client would receive the plaintext traffic meant for the server.

twinnie , to nostupidquestions in Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid?

You’re probably as stupid as the rest. I expect there’s loads of stuff you’ve just taken at face value that is completely wrong.

twinnie , to selfhost in How to Power On Dell Poweredge Server Remotely & Safely?

iDRAC? That’s what it’s for. It’ll allow remote access to your server but somebody would still need passwords, etc. it’s been around for ages so there’s going to be good practice guides on how to set it up.

twinnie , to nostupidquestions in Isn’t the use of strict behaviorism to explain animals kind of obnoxious?

Animals are idiots.

twinnie , to piracy in Piracy even when I can get it legally

FYI, JustWatch will tell you which services have whatever you’re trying to stream.

twinnie , to technology in Microsoft’s Windows Hello fingerprint authentication has been bypassed - The Verge

It’s device manufacturers that are fucking up, not MS.

twinnie , to risa in Are you REALLY a fan?

I think the people who name those ships have never even owned a passport.

twinnie , to memes in Why? Are we not doing enough?

Same here. I lurk more on Lemmy but if I want to discuss some niche topic then Reddit is so easy to I don’t use that fucking app though, website or 3rd party.

twinnie , to risa in I love that SNW kept that detail in the uniform

Most people don’t understand how basic 3D printers are. They’d be way better if it wasn’t for all the 70s patents holding them back for decades.
