I mostly just read the wikipedia pages for each candidate.

Bought a dishwasher.

Life changing improvement. Don’t be afraid to use the pots and pans setting for everything.

You don’t need fancy soap and remember to top up the rinse aid.

(Also every 6 months run a special cleaner through it)

I have no idea why.

Sounds like HDD failure if its less than 2 years old it should all covered under warranty.

I have a few times but I’d rather donate my time.

I’ve been known to cook at community events and sort electronic donations at charities.

I use it with the arrow keys fairly often to snap apps to sections of the screen.

Some terrible keyboards put it where alt should be and those should be burned.

The war on pants! 🩲

So it depends. For example some legacy apple stuff had a bad DHCP implementation where it would try to hold onto an IP address it had before.

When there’s one DHCP server with a reserved ip it won’t assign that ip to the wrong device. (Unless you’re running some buggy software that takes your configuration as suggestions)

Where the advice to set it anyways comes from scenarios where that DHCP server goes down for long enough that everyone starts self assigning addresses. It’s a real hassle to find the correct system when that happens.

The amount of metadata sometimes stored in pictures can be insane

Betrayal at House on the Hill

Great board game for 3+ people. Best with a full crew. You and your mates explore a mansion. As you explore a new room you place a tile and something can happen.

It’s meant to have a lot of replayability as each time you play there’s a booklet full of potential end games that you can trigger. Such as the mansion is burning down and you need to escape.

Potentially no manufacturers warranty if they aren’t an authorized seller.

If you buy it directly from Google it’ll be unlocked.

“will remain unlocked unless I factory reset it”

I’d stay away from anything like that, it’s unnecessary.

I’d suggest broadening your scope.

There’s lots of nerdy ladies out there, but you’re most likely to meet people at conventions and other hobby events. If you’re near NYC that will likely be where to go for that stuff.

You could also explore online forums and support groups on discord. But please understand that these places are not intended for you to seek out women but to meet like minded individuals. Continue to respect the community and people’s boundaries.

You could further your education and try to meet people at college.

The meatballs are optional.

italian wedding soup, so yummy.

But I believe gog lets you direct download any of the games. No client necessary.

Use what you enjoy. It’s a shame that someone needed to fork the project to support something that would be so beneficial.

But this line ‘No warranties or guarantees of security or updates or even stability!’ personally would keep myself from using it.

Browsers play a critical role in the security of your device and I wouldn’t feel comfortable letting a hobby project assume that role.

That being said, it’s a common occurrence for forks to lag behind in security updates and ultimately your prerogative to accept that risk.

Avoiding spam filters and ISP blocks are a common issue with self hosted email.

Ideally you’ll have a mature domain, dkim configured and an IP that’s not blacklisted on a network that allows email traffic.

OVH offers pretty cheap email hosting if you just want a turn key solution.

Otherwise if you want your home lab to work this way you may need to configure something akin to a forward proxy on a VPS to act as a gateway for your homelab.

This could be achieved using wireguard and iptables. By routing the email traffic to your homelab.

I feel like this would make a great tattoo.

I have a 10 megabit ethernet hub (not switch) that I still use in my homelab. It’s just a super easy way to throttle devices and helpful for diagnosing network issues.
