Alkaline batteries are the crappy ones that leak. Get the more expensive lithium batteries, or go full on rechargeable ones, and you can leave them in without worrying about your device getting ruined.

Somewhat related, I’m so annoyed that my USB 3.0 SATA adapter doesn’t pass S.M.A.R.T. data. Didn’t even think to check for such a deficiency. Just another thing to watch out for when buying these adapters.

Here’s a neat trick to imagine what it could feel like. Close both of your eyes. You see darkness, right? Now close one eye and leave the other one open. You don’t really “see” anything out of that closed eye at all. There’s no darkness. There’s just nothing there.

I saw that some blind people actually have difficulties falling asleep. Because they cant see the sun, their circadian rhythm and they’re sleep/wake signals are all out of sync.

I mostly just want to log connections and IPs to have a record of things.

I just use Firefox Sync. Works on all those platforms.

“What’s a checkbox? Oh, you mean that thing we use to trick users into ‘consenting’ to telemetry?”

Yea, I didn’t like that they are going to drop support in the next version or whatever. Not sure if it’s their intended replacement, but Wireguard is installed by default in TrueNAS Bluefin. I recently switched to that, and I find the performance is way better than OpenVPN.

What are you using to monitor wireguard?

Maybe they already replaced their Writers, Authors, and Proofreaders, and generated the whole thing using ChatGPT.

Fyi, you can actually edit post titles here. So you are able to correct the url there too

I don’t think those characterstics are really worth considering when buying switches. For one, you’re going to miss out on a ton of options if you restrict yourself to only switches that advertise those features. More importantly, with how mechanical keyboards are constructed, it’s highly unlikely the board itself is waterproof. So, what good are waterproof switches when the board itself will fry when you spill your soda on it. I also think dust protection is another thing that isn’t going to give any tangible benefit unless maybe you’re typing in the open desert or something.

Well crap. I was waiting until the end of the day to buy it. That’s too bad…

Edit: I guess that information was in the image, but would have been nice if it was in the post text too…

Hello, I commented about a bug in the instance selector on a cross post, not realizing that wasn’t the actual developer. Not sure if it’s related to what you’re talking about here, but I wanted to bring it to your attention. Great project by the way!

NSFW stuff is supposed to get cut from the API starting July 5th I believe.
