Masculinity is when you are afraid for how other people perceive you.


Honestly not having a static public ip address would be a dealbreaker for me, reason to change isp.
But thats not always an option.
My old isp got a new ip every full modem reboot and a way i used to circumvent this is with duckdns. It’s a free dns service i used before i had money to pay for my own domain.
If i recall correctly they have a desktop tool that connects to your account that scans for your current dynamic public ip and then updates it for your freesubdomainname.duckdns.org which is what you use to connect.
Eh these things can be repurposed.
Plenty of catholic places in europe where already in religious use before the church was a thing. Some even still have celtic runes in the altar.


I never heard if twingate but i see no reason why not to selfhost Wireguard.
Its a proven open source vpn.
As far as a little research went. Twingate is proprietary software and caters to enterprises, it has some open source alternatives that have a similar functionality. Most if them using Wireguard under the hood. Look for tailscale/headscale or netbird.


Supposedly Australian aboriginal groups have lived in the same region for 40k+ years.
They have regional consistency, genetic continuity over which culture gradually evolved each generation.
Does that count?
Me, a Neurodivergent: i don’t need any of this pesky chemical stimulant stuff to get through life.
Also me: Addicted to both caffeine and sugar.
Few things are so normal and natural as a human consuming substances that change their conscious perception and mind.
Caffeine, often forgotten is by far the most consumed drug in the world being used by roughly 85% of people globally. “First coffee, then work” is a testimonial to how benign this fact is.
But what if you don’t like caffeine, what if you simply prefer the effects of something else? It’s your body, no one should be able to tell an adult what they can do with their own body and mind.
Just be conscious about it.
Know what you are taking.
Understand why you take it.
Study, learn what it actually does and how different doses/methods affect you.
Find how it does not affect you, what it can’t fix.
Look for help when you need it and don’t feel shameful for asking such. You are human after all.


/s stands for sarcasm in case you are not aware.


But steam isn’t open source? /s
Me, during my free time after a long day of barely managing to do the minimum…

Every day…
My new headcanon is now that this is what aliens say, as a meme, whenever they see a human do anything they don’t understand.
Helps with remembering what you actually did that day because often i get so sidetracked it looks like i did nothing at all.


Some recent research also confirmed that the same neuron systems responsible for impulsive behaviour are the same ones that make people curious.
Which of course also aids creativity.
But i find this especially important to note as how many add/adhd medication attempt to inhibit impulsive behavior and how that explains how i lost all interest in science during school, almost instantly gain it back as an adult when i stopped taking them.
Dont knows for these two but the enterprise version of copilot for office workers is so damn awefull its embarrassing.
It literally suggests to do stuff that it is incapable of doing.
I tried to get some doc as a flowchart using mermaid script, i know for a fact other llms have no problems with that:
After 3 attempts of it trying to code but resulting in an actual error it gives me,
Do you want me to provide this flowchart in visio format instead.
yes, if you can do that, it would be useful.
Generates a powerpoint about the topic.
that is a powerpoint, not a flowchart.
Tries to generate an image of a flowchart with not a single word spelled correctly and arrows going nowhere.
i didn’t ask to generate an image i need a flowchart
Sorry, if you want i can provide a flowchart in viso file format instead.
sure, give it another go
Generates a brand new bad PowerPoint.
I copy pasted the entire conversation to claude and it instantly gave me what i asked.


I regret not including this as an option now but I contemplated adding this part:
The majority of our (subjective-my) internet nowadays follows patterns of the same places, new places are often found on the old places.
Most of my sites are bookmarked trusted websites. (Increasingly more self hosted also) wikipedia for facts, wolfram alpha for math, sites i have an account on.
Part of the crux is when is the last time you googled in the hope to find a new website you don’t already know yet? Even ads direct you using QR.
I find i rarely need a search engine anymore and when often when i do i can’t find anything anyway. Stuff has gotten so buried under search engine optimisation you are better of using ai for a first responds to obtain the terminology to search for how wrong ai got it then by searching for a question directly.
I am hoping to try this thing soon and if its good it might replace 90% of my browser activity. -> https://github.com/glanceapp/glance


This used to be not the case.


Duckduck is just a wrapper for bing (and gives microsoft trackers a free pass)
Startpage is a similar thing that uses google. Considering how hated bing is believe Duck only got more popular because of privacy marketing.
The safest alternative is running your own searxng client, it still relies on bing and google but at least you can verify that its actually stopping all trackers.


If you can boot an os from usb (basically the same for all distros) you can try proxmox.
There are these incredibly useful helper scripts that setup entire services in 1-2 copy pasted commands.
https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/
To explain what proxmox is its basicly virtualisation software, it can run vms but also lxc (light linux containers) and share resources very efficiently between all of them
Jellyfin, radarr, sonar. They are all included in the helper scripts, each will be a dedicated lxc.
Its also very easy to setup raid and there own storage format is very efficient.
Its well documented to the point that any decent llm can help you learn whatever you need. In fact its claude that helped me setup my own proper raid on proxmox, also tought me about datasets and how i can make those available to different lxc
Personally i am very hands off with my server, the hardest part is often choosing what ip i want to give a service, i rarely update or mess with it if not strictly necessary.
For hardware i recommend plenty of ram (can Be bought and installed seperatly), more cores is usually better and internal graphics can save you some hassle depending on what you are doing (also allows you to dedicate a Big gpu to some services).
A warning on second hand corporate machines, the performance is often good But quite fans are often an afterthought. I onxe got a beast of machine for free but you could hear it spin from anywhere in my house.
A good practical case is always a blessing when you need to check the insides.
Q: Why support Israel if jews hate christians?
A: Leveraging alliances for U.S. benefit, (fake) peace in Gaza makes us look good. Theological differences don’t prevent collaboration on shared interests.

Article does not deserve a click, fascists be fascists. The person who asked the question is the broken clock showing the right time by asking a good question for still wrong reasons and got a default calculated answer.
