  • Is it safe to stand on top of a ceramic toilet tank?

    Jump

  • No don't. Even for just moving the toilet (to replace the wax seal underneath) you're supposed to disconnect the tank from the toilet, to make sure that the stresses on the bolts don't cause cracks in the porcelain. Toilets aren't held together all that well. I've been watching plumbing youtubes because I'm trying to fix a leak in one right now. It's not pretty.

    Standing on the toilet seat is probably less dangerous than standing on the tank.

  • Afaik there are plenty of reddit subs where "creators" (I'm guessing you're referring to Onlyfans sellers) are perfectly welcome and very active. There are other parts of reddit where sellers are resented for invading what had previously been noncommercial social spaces. So it's a matter of choosing the right subs.

  • I've never heard of any of those. No description of what they are for but they mostly look video related. Ffmpeg and mplayer have sufficed for me so far, but who knows.

  • Are LoRa networks a way around the surveillance state?

    Jump

  • I'd stop short of saying "solution" but they can be of some help. There are still surveillance methods that work against them, maybe not to decrypt the actual messages, but to monitor who is talking to who and maybe jam the communications. When you say "protest" etc., do you mean you're part of some big mob in the streets and you want portable gizmos to communicate with other people who are also protesting? Or do you mean you're all sitting at home coordinating something and the wired internet works?

    Almost anything you do that's scalable across lots of users and likely to be replicated, will also be targeted by surveillance. So the trick is to do something one-off that nobody else is doing and that isn't figured into systematic monitoring. So that means concocting something unique or obscure, that only you and a few of your friends know about.

    Generally maintaining security in something like this is difficult and paranoia-inducing and you end up feeling like you're in Spy vs Spy cartoon if you remember those. The only real solution is to get rid of the surveillance regime.

    Jump

  • I haven't been following proposed rating system changes if that's what you're asking. Variants like Chesd960 are interesting but obviously should have their own rating pools.

  • Whats the best way to clean up 15 years of stuff around the house?

    Jump

  • Rent a storage locker and get everything out of the house quickly. Throw out anything that you both feel ok letting go of, but don't put mental energy into decisions about stuff where you're not sure. Just chuck it in storage immediately. Now you have an empty house and can move. You also have a monthly storage bill but that's hopefully a lot less than the rent on the house, and you can take your time getting rid of stuff from storage, or even selling some of it on CL/ebay.

  • This is an ink jet printer that uses HP print head / ink cartridges.. Fwiw, repairable impact printers have been around longer than computers. Think of old fashioned teleprinters. Noisy, but likely to survive the apocalypse.

  • Privacy respecting alternative to airtags

    Jump

  • Sticker tag sounds like NFC. Certainly a bluetooth tag is possible too. Thing is, Bluetooth range is a few dozen meters tops. Airtag works by turning the entire Iphone population into a giant surveillance network, so if any iphone anywhere detects your airtag, it informs the Apple mothership, which in turn reports to you where your airtag was just seen.

    Only comparable long distance approach I can think of without that is a cellular tracker. Those exist (search: cellular gps pet tracker) but it's a much bigger box with a subscription plan of its own. Someone else mentioned meshtastic so maybe that's an alternative in some places, or a LoRA tag instead of a bluetooth tag.
