  • What is something about how people view or use technology that needs to die?

    Jump

  • Something I absolutely hate is when people say shit like "do you sell an apple charger?" The complete ignorance of what port your device uses or even what it's called is infuriating. Look, you either have a usb-c or lightning port, and you only have a lightning port if your phone is from like a decade ago or something. You should know by now to look for usb-c cables. It's especially frustrating when they get angry at me when they don't understand what I'm talking about.

  • What's your favorite band?

    Jump

  • Imagine Dragons, for sure.

    Coldplay is good too, Brunuhville, Lindsay Sterling, The FatRat. All great.

  • Do you read books on your phone?

    Jump

  • At least 6 hours a day, easily.

    Royalroad, mostly, but also AO3, Questionable Questing and Spacebattles.

    I also download everything to a calibre library and read it using Audiobookshelf.

  • Open-Source P2P Apps

    Jump

  • SSB (Secure ScuttleButt) is the protocol behind the app Manyver.se

    There are some issues with it though, so the lead dev of Manyver.se created PZP as a sort of revival of the project. Unfortunately, funding ran out and other commitments took priority, so he had to step away from the project right after its first release. It's functional, but barbones and in desperate need of developers.

    Yeah, Freenet is not user friendly at all. Ive tried a few times, but was unable to get it running at all. I2P I had similar issues with, though I did get to try it out. The main thing is that it needs a browser dedicated to it to work properly and is finicky.

    Yggdrasil I actually found to be rather polished. It just makes a new network adapter like Tailscale so it's compatible with pretty much everything. Main issue i had was DNS. That, and a lack of content or new features. Its the same now as it was 5 years ago, even with regular updates. There's just very few websites on yggsrasil.

    IPFS is complicated. Its harder to setup, but comes bundled in lots of other apps. My main issue both it is a general lack of polish and quality of life features. It has everything else though. Its a functional p2p internet that works both alongside and instead of the regular internet. Its just really clunky amd unpleasant to use, is slow, and doesn't have much content on it. Its also riddled with scams and crypto crap taking advantage of it and ruining everything.

    Syncthing doesn't only work on LAN, it can work through any network interface including Tailscale and yggdrasil, and has public relay nodes in case you don't. I'm pretty sure you can also host your own relay nodes if you want to.

  • People with the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap: What do you mean by "Cilantro tastes like soap"? In what way does anything taste like soap?

    Jump

  • I think lime, cucumber and jalapeño is a pretty good descriptor. Lime and cucumber just taste a lot like mint to me.

    Fresh is also a good description. It makes my mouth feel clean just like mint does.

    There are lots of others, but most either shut down, got turned into scams, or were always scams.

    There was one chat app I remember, I think it was called firechat or something. They ended up removing all the P2P features from it and removed all references from their advertising.

    Jump

  • Only partially related, why does no one talk about what it tastes like when you don't have the gene? Nobody told me it's like spicy mint! I was expecting something mild like basil or something. But no, it's overpowering.

    I had the chance to try it for the first time a few months ago when I discovered a local restaurant sells Bahi Mi with cilantro and pickled carrots. Its delicious, but I was not expecting that flavor.

  • Having the first name of Al must be frustrating as it looks so much like AI.

    Jump

  • Same here, it's just so much better.

  • The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game.

    Jump

  • For me, it goes:

    0 - hell no

    1 to 5 - sure why not, that's about as much as a bottled drink.

    6 to 10 - maybe once a month.

    11 to 15 - better be a pretty damn good game, or I'm refunding.

    16 to 20 - I'm waiting for a discount, not worth it.

    21 to 60 - hell no

    61+ - I'm blacklisting your company from my recommendations.

  • I made a way to remotely control my homelab without any internet access required

  • I use Boost, and it works great.

  • Tried it out the last couple days. Works great. The tap water here is apparently almost as good as my preferred bottled water brand. Looks like I'm saving $3 a day, thanks

  • Mix and match login managers and desktop environments

    Jump

  • Could anyone explain to me how to set it up so you can login using your fingerprint? I'm using Bazzite, which is basically just Fedora KDE. Right now I can only do that on the lock screen, but not the login. I haven't been able to figure it out, but OC's comment reminded me about it and I figured I should ask just in case someone happens to know.

  • Maybe this is an Avatar/ATLA situation, but as far as I'm aware Prey came out in 2017.

  • Eh, I haven't tried it in a while. I'll leave a waterbottle at work and try it out tomorrow. Your right that it will save some, and the tap water here isn't that bad.

    Somehow I got it in my head that I have to carry it back and forth all the time. Not sure how that came to be.

  • You know what, fair. I always thought it looked better than it tasted.

  • I pay extra so I don't have to do that. Carrying a waterbottle and a lunchbox was a significant contributor to my negative mental health as a teenager, and my life is way more pleasant without them.

    In a similar vein, eating food that I don't want to eat is very stressful for me, and I generally can't know what I want to eat more than a couple of hours in advance. So eating food I prepared myself is usually rather disappointing.

    Third, food waste. I never eat the same meal more than once a week if I can help it. That means that, when I buy a tomato, I end up only using a single slice and letting the rest rot in the fridge because there really aren't all that many things I like that have tomatoes. The same goes for most ingredients. If I don't use it within 4 hours, I may as well toss it, cause im never going to eat it.

    I've tested out various ways of eating, and eating out often is cheaper compared to constantly re-buying ingredients for meals I'm not going to eat.
