Interesting observation lemmy user SatansMaggotyCumFart

How are you spending so much? I spend half that on gas per week (rural area so I easily put 200-400 miles a week on the car) and your weekly grocery budget is about my monthly budget for a family of 4

As someone with 2 preschool aged kids I absolutely agree

I got one for work. It literally just pastes into ChatGPT

I know a dude who’s a retired doctor specializing in sports medicine (he was the team doctor for a Big 10 college football team), and he smokes like a chimney. He likes to joke that he’s the 1/10 doctors that they don’t quote on TV ads

The thing I don’t like about laptops are 1. Noise and 2. The bursty CPUs just don’t mesh well if I want to run a swarm of VMs or need to just run a big compress/decompress process. I watched one laptop slowly throttle itself all the way down to 700mhz while I was messing with a bunch of VMs and it really made me miss having a desktop where it can just chill at 5x the speed at 100% utilization and chew through whatever is being thrown at it

I did not know that! I checked out about 2 seasons into Capaldi after watching the new series religiously and haven’t returned primarily due to difficulties finding places to watch it, although now more due to young kids who i have to schedule around

It’s from the second? episode of the new Dr Who series

I have two different ISPs serving the entire town I live in, both offering symmetric gigabit fiber to the home to the entire town, but can I get a lick of IPv6? Of course not!

I’m many cases there is some network level compression going on, particularly on higher speed LANs

I live in a region of the US that now gets semi-regular polar winds most years giving us a week of -40 degree weather. It’s an exillerating change of pace to brave such extreme cold, but also extremely concerning to consider what else climate change has in store in the coming decades and centuries

That part was interesting, since I live in a rural area surrounded by farms (primarily feed corn and livestock but across the many family farms around where I live pretty much everything gets farmed), and while I saw egg prices rise, milk prices largely remained the same with just noticable shortages

Huh! Thank you very much for the detailed answer that’s extremely interesting!

I swear I’ve seen inflation hit processed foods far harder than it has less processed foods. That and the delta between off-brand and name brand has become massive. At least $5 for a large bag of FritoLay chips, but most off brands are still less than $2 for roughly equivalent product

Checking nmap’s documentation it looks like it’s perfectly possible to detect open udp ports

You should NOT have a WG tunnel from the home network to the VPS with fully unrestricted access to everything.

This is what I came here to make sure was said. Use your firewall to severely restrict access from your public endpoint. Your wiregaurd tunnel is effectively a DMZ so firewall it off accordingly

The really nice thing about tailscale for accessing your hosted services is absolutely nothing can connect without authentication via a professionally hosted standard authentication, and there’s no public ports for script kiddies to scan for, spot and start hammering on. There’s thousands of bots that do nothing but scan the internet for hosted services and then try to compromise them, so not even showing up on those scans is a good thing.

For example, I have tailscale on my Minecraft server and connect to it via tailscale when away from home. If a buddy wants to join I just send a link sharing the machine to them and they can install tailscale and connect to it normally. If for some reason buddy needs to be cut off, I can just stop sharing to that account on Tailscale and they can no longer access the machine.

The biggest challenge of tailscale is also it’s biggest benefit. Nothing can connect without connecting through the tailscale client, so if my buddy can’t/won’t install tailscale they can’t join my Minecraft server

Evidence suggests those that can tolerate lactose as adults are descended from farmers who drank milk to survive during seasons of bad yields.

Milk is full of great vitamins and minerals. I haven’t verified this claim but I heard someone say recently a person can entirely meet their entire nutritional needs on purely milk and potatoes, which doesn’t sound super pleasant to have as a diet, it’s certainly an easy baseline to meet

They usually have the milk on hand for cooking, or just the kids menu. If my family of 4 can easily go through 2 gallons a week, I can’t imagine a resteraunt having problems using up milk before it goes bad unless they over-purchase

I’ve never had that problem. I basically always order milk anytime I eat out. Sometimes they only give me a kids portion or even a kids cup (it was extra funny when my wife ordered it for me and I was away from the table changing a diaper while visiting family), but usually I get a full glass of milk
