If it’s for textual information, I’m personally a fan of covering all bases. Screenshot, link to site, and quoted relevant text.
Webpages can change, but screenshots can stop being hosted with no warning and any text in screenshot form can’t easily be copy and pasted. Quoted text is essentially the longterm accessible failsafe. Text in comments tends to last much longer than images or links.
Funny, I have a stray cat that comes by who has that description. We call him Waggles.
Here he is, pondering what a tortured life he would live should he choose to be a house cat, forced to see life outside through the iron bars of the window frame, on account of being too inconvenienced by going through the cat door. He decided such a life was too much to bare, so he went to the front door and demanded I let him out.
He hates cat doors, but he’ll end up coming in the house on his own maybe once a month or so.
Searx (as others have said) is an aggregate of multiple search engines all bundled into one, with very finetuned customization (ie: you can toggle every search option you want or not within each category).
You also don’t need to host your own, though I’m not sure what the significance of being self hosted in this case is.
As far as usefulness over other search sites, it’s generally better with some caveats. Search engines as a whole are in a pretty awful state, so combining them is better, but still not that good. It does offer some very niche search engines that can be extremely useful when pooled together though, which is nice.
Searx also has some captcha issues that I haven’t quite figured out. My understanding is that essentially, search engines don’t like when you use their engine without being on their site, and it’ll stop working via searx (until you go to the site in question and do the captcha maybe?).
There’s also a few different domains for searx with varying degrees of availability as far as what engines they reliably connect to.
All in all, searx is great by comparison to mainstream trash, but it can be a headache to setup, and a headache to maintain. There’s a masterlist of searx hosts somewhere, I’ll try and see about finding it if someone else doesn’t link it.
Not currently in a place where I can check, but I believe pcgamingwiki.com has this info.
Edit: it does indeed. Lists available platforms and whether or not they have DRM, and/or what kind.
Spread that site around, cause I only came across it fairly recently and it has never showed up in web searches for me without me specifically looking for the site.
Yeah it’s apparently a common first choice for bipolar (which is overly diagnosed). It made me gain a ton of weight, and then my doc was exclusively concerned about my weight from that point on, until I stopped going to him.
Before that though, I was just like “I gained the weight because of a side effect from a med you gave me, for a condition that I don’t have. The weight is an issue that will be fixed if we look at the actual problem here, doc.”
Ugh.
To be fair, Abilify would cure the hunter of the energy to do anything other than eat or sleep, which might not make for a very fun game.
Abilify is fucking awful.
I agree that a cable would be wildly more useful than what’s pictured, for what it’s worth.
That said (tangentially related), I have a few male/female usb cables and they’re a godsend. Extremely handy for game controllers and/or extenders for bluetooth or wireless device dongles.
The adapter shown is functionally identical to a usb 2 to usb c cable. I believe the meme is essentially suggesting the same thing you did with using a file explorer.
I moved to towers for the same reason years ago, but I basically never do major component swaps like I thought I would.
I’ve since realized that having a tower is really nice for other things though, namely maintenance and cleaning/airflow. My rtx 2060 seemed like it was on its way out a year ago (thermal throttling, even on way lower settings than it used to be able to run just fine), so I took it apart and replaced the thermal paste. Runs better than when I first got it. Got some new case fans recently as well and the whole thing runs cooler, quieter, and they use less power than my stock ones, which is nice.
Obviously the thermal paste thing applies to laptops as well, but laptops can be very tough to get open and dig around in.
Great point honestly. I was only writing that comment from the perspective of answering troubleshooting centric questions. Not everyone who browses the internet has the same ability to see though, and while I imagine screen readers have some ability to process images (I’ve never used one so I don’t know specifically), I can only assume that actual text is much easier.
I know that text for me is much easier than screenshots, cause I’ve adjusted the font size and type in my browser to suit my preferences. Can’t do that for an image.
