No, no, nope.

You missed the first step where you get the parts of the chicken from the grocery store, then go to a pet store to get bones and use Elmer’s glue to put the chicken together.

That’s just the basics of cooking according to Julia Pepin.

tmux and a <ctrl>-<b><d> - done!

A digital solder gun with a properly sized tip and a magnifying glass with helping hands (flexible clips) helps immensely. I had to hand solder a surface mount resistor that looked about the size of the tip of a pencil. It wasn’t pretty but I got it done.

I wish someone would do a NoClip-esque documentary on Sierra. That studio seems amazing and Roberta Williams was a crazy good game designer.

LIES! He was prominently featured in a a brief final race scene thereby filling is obligation and allowing another Lance Riddick film to be made.

(Guessing on the reason why they dragged him out for one 30 sec throwaway scene - but at least they could incorporate the cast for TD in Fast 9)

Unfortunately, dental is typically separate from health care in the US. (It’s stupid).

Do you have any persistent pain or discomfort when doing things? Get that checked out.

Another +1 for colonoscopy.

Also if there’s a family history of anything nasty, see if there’s a test for it my maybe? (E.g. heart attacks, get blood work done for cholesterol).

Get a full physical including blood work.

What the hell is up with Nebraska?

Or if you want to float some money the developer’s way, pick up last epoch.

Don’t worry, AI will help us (make the situation much, much worse by simultaneously causing outages and causing a massive increase of emissions.)

Come over to Last Epoch - I’ve had a much better experience solo and with friends. And shockingly, the global chat is helpful/welcoming of newbies.

Ah, I wonder if it’s something with the Wasabi S3 hosting. I’ll check into it.

It’s literally all I wanted to do when I saw the .bond TLD came up for registration.

You can take stronk.bond from my cold dead hands.

The other thing to keep in mind with PiHole - some things are just going to break with it’s default blocking, namely the Google suggested results.

i know, I know - just don’t use google, but android phones/parents have a hard time not just braindead going to Google for results.

It’s not the end of the world - I’ve trained myself to just keep scrolling to actual results.

Another feature for PiHole is local DNS - if you want, you can set up custom dnsmasq entries for self hosted/internal services.

The brand/type of wifi router is more of a technical requirements discussion than privacy discussion.

For instance, I live in a two story townhome rental with the modem in the basement - so I picked up an Orbi mesh system to bounce wifi up to the second floor. I also have a fairly complex network with IoT VLAN, DMZ (for remote VPN) and other network segments - again the orbi doing different VLANs per SSID was a deciding factor.

I’ve also only used the Orbi as an access point, relying on a dedicated firewall/router for that stuff.

If you’re looking at a flat network (e.g. everything on one segment - the typical home user setup), pretty much any WiFi router from Best Buy or equivalent will do the job. Check your current devices to see if you can take advantage of WiFi 7 technology - otherwise save a few bucks and go WiFi 6.

For security purposes, change the default SSID (the wireless name) to something unique - and change the password to something from correcthorsebatterystaple.net. You don’t need the default jumble of letters and numbers to be secure.

Lastly, getting to your privacy concerns, look at the DHCP settings - that’s what hands out IP addresses to your devices so they can reach the internet. Change the DNS servers to something other than your ISP. This looks like a good starting point.

The big things are to make sure you don’t expose your router management to the Internet (the default shouldn’t do that) and to make sure you periodically check for firmware updates.

If you want to up your game, you could look at spinning up a self-hosted DNS server like Pi-Hole - but that can be a bit more advanced to get setup and troubleshoot if something goes wrong.

I for one certainly do.

Not sure if it’s gotten worse - I’ve only been picking locks since the beginning of the pandemic.

You can even fly with them! I do a bit of locksport for fun and have gotten quite the side eye when picking open padlocks while waiting for a plane.
