Scientologists Tell Feds They Don't Want Randos Repairing Their E-Meters
Out of curiosity, has there ever been a teardown of one of these to see what kind of snake oil actually powers them?

23andMe frantically changed its terms of service to prevent hacked customers from suing
PSA: you can request deletion of your 23andMe account. It won’t do anything for this past hack, but it’ll at least prevent your data from being included in future hacks (assuming they actually completely delete your data like they’re supposed to).

Does it need it? AFAIK, you can’t copyright a design.

YSK there is a condition that makes your armpits smell worse called trichobacteriosis that is common and easy to treat
Reply in thread
I recently read an actual scientific study that found a direct correlation between smell and the length of armpit hair. So your unscientific hypothesis is actually backed by science. I’m too lazy to look up the source though.

Look what my idiot contractor (me) did
Update: used a utility knife to cut enough board away to get one tab and the screws out, then slid it down and was able to wiggle it out. Now on to the other receptacle the idiot did the same thing to

Z-Library Blog: "Unprecedented seizure of our domains with books on rare languages"

I believe it is already on Tor. But not everyone knows how to use tor, so they also have traditional domains.

This kiwifruit sold as "red kiwi"
If that’s the actual name of the fruit, why wouldn’t it be marketed under that name?

When Pi-hole is down?
Reply in thread
I don’t think this accomplishes what he wants. The router DHCP will assign the second DNS address as you mention, but the devices will select one at random, not as a backup/failover. So what happens is that devices sometimes go through the Pi-hole and sometimes go through the secondary DNS address and receive ads. The only real way I’m aware of is to have a second pi-hole for redundancy. Personally, I decided to use a cloud based service (NextDNS) for this exact reason. I didn’t want my families internet to rely on devices that I host.

Firefox is the only way.
Honest question… I get that Chrome has a bunch questionable privacy practices that sends data back to Google, but do the chromium based browsers do that as well? My understanding is that Chromium is just the rendering engine. How is it bad?
Also, if Google implements their bullshit DRM features, I wonder if the derivative browsers will be able to disable it. I believe I saw that Brave said they won’t use it.

Funny. I think the real reason is that it’s just not very good at making two people yet and gets confused sometimes. But I made about 50 other variants and I could barely get it to make Trump smile because I assume most of the training data is of him not smiling. I had to emphasize the term “smiling” like 4x to finally get it to work for Trump.

What if a meteor hit us now? What happens after that?

This is a great description! I agree, a meteor large enough to destroy a small country is massive!

Thanks for this! The process is pretty similar to what I’ve seen some people on YT recommend. I’ll definitely share some photos when done.

The article does seem to accurately portray the findings of the peer reviewed research that it links to. Not saying that it’s infallible, but probably worth considering.

I have a similar setup to the above. Personally I use Docker Compose and backup up my compose scripts to the NAS.

That last paragraph is great advice. I get so frustrated at times. Sometimes it feels like I need to fix things ASAP when I’m reality it doesn’t matter. In many cases coming back with fresh eyes helps considerably.

This community inspired me to buy and restore my first hand planes
This is probably an ignorant question but I’ll ask it anyway. I’m just getting into woodworking. What are good hand planes generally used for and why would someone need multiple versions? I have a cheap one I’ve used for things like shaving doors to not rub.

Are they filming the movie or is this some other promotion?
