Neolithic ectoplasm

Alright, I’m stealin’ that!

They sell kits to make your own custom-fit silicone plugs. They’re like $10 on Amazon.

Work great. Push the goo into your ear, wait a few minutes and it’s cured enough to take out. Wait another hour or so and it’s fully cured.

Well it they hadn’t killed off SMS integration because of “engineering costs” (what a load of horseshit), getting people to switch would be easier.

I had to drop Signal because that was the way I could get people to switch.

Yea, RCS is an ass backwards solution (hardware bound ID… How 1983 of them!).

Its garbage that needs to die.

Its spec’d for that

I dunno, my newest cable modem chews up a boatload of power for no good reason - really pisses me off.

It uses more power (50w) than my 2019 SFF desktop I run as a server, with an 8TB drive (20w).

I know because they both sit on their own smart switches.

Better yet, LemmyShemmy should ask his mom - no reason to do his work for him

I don’t

Any more than I think about Canadians, or Italians, or Welsh, or Czech.

When pushed, best I got is “you do you”

Hahah, enjoy the upvote

If you can, there’s a project that enables you to archive sites to your own server - archivebox.

Word can convert PDFs, then its “easy” to copy the data to excel and manipulate it there

Why would I?

I use a mesh vpn to manage my servers otherwise, what’s the difference?

Hell I RDP to them all the time (or SSH) - if anything it’s providing another layer of encryption.

I’ve re-read the docs around VirtualBox bridging, and the only thing that I think could possibly cause this (though it shouldn’t since ping is a direct address to a specific IP/mac) is to enable Promiscuous mode (as cappucino mentioned).

This shouldn’t fix it in my opinion, but it may, since ICMP could be considered undirected traffic (I don’t, but I didn’t code VirtualBox).

I’ve sometimes found using trace instead of ping can sometimes work where pings would be blocked, plus trace shows exactly where it dies along the path.

It’s pretty much Graphene and Lineage now.

To add, you could always capture via the output video too, regardless of the DRM nonsense. Once it leaves the device in a format a display can present it, any device that can utilize that signal can record it.

There’s always a million ways to skin the cat.

Only enough to make the average user comply.

Again, enough friction.

Such a great point.

I’ve refused to use software that require things like Discord or Telegram for support.

Use a proper tool on your website.

I’ve seen shops that only take cash, with an ATM in the store.

I kind of get it for small shops. Even just reconciling the register every day is way easier with just cash.

In the early days of CC you were charged per transaction.

Then you weren’t.

Now they’re doing it again.

I’ve seen it vary by card and vendor many times.

Edit: by Early Days I mean when electronic clearing became ubiquitous in the early 90’s, as the clearing houses charged per cleared transaction. Before that you literally mailed the card that was imprinted via the credit card machine.

Wow, now it requires cosmetic surgery to use different lighting too?
