LocalSend, a cross platform alternative to airdrop and nearby share.

My family uses it for almost all of our filesharing. IPhone to android, iPhone to windows PC, android to macbook, etc. Its works really, really well.

Wow that sounds terrible... Especially with encouraging employers to increase birth rates, a lot of sexual assault/harassment is going to be swept under the rug.

I've been in the closed beta since February and I can vouch for this game being awesome. It's been a great way to encourage me to take my dogs on walks and stay healthy. I definitely recommend checking it out.

To the dev, your game has motivated me to learn flutter/dart. I've been working with it for four months now and I'm getting close to finishing my first app, so thank you for the inspiration!

I like Language Transfer. It's free and you can download the episodes for offline listening.

This website has a bunch of great practice "wargames". You'll learn a bunch about common linux commands and the different options for them. It also provides you with some great tips on what to google if you get stuck. I reccomend starting with bandit.

Aptera is doing this with custom solar cells and they claim it'll provide up to 40 miles of range per day. https://aptera.us/

I've been thinking about joining for the last few weeks. The reason I did today was because the developer of my favorite app (sync) announced they would be releasing a lemmy version

Are you sure you are typing the address in correctly on android/ios? 198.162.x.x isnt part of private IP space.

A decent safety razor, its cheap and should last you forever. Blades are significantly less expensive too.

I'm partial to mikrotik gear, the CRS305 has 4 sfp+ ports for around $150.

I use duckduckgo for personal use and google for work and I have noticed a significant quality drop in the results for both.

This is what I did. Started at a "normal" nicotine level, then once I was used to that level and wasn't getting any cravings (took a few months usually) I would lower my nicotine strength a little bit then repeat the process. It made it way easier for me to quit once I did. I barely got any cravings.

I just started tears of the kingdom a few days ago.

Whenever I've pushed through and attempted to finish a book that I do not enjoy, I end up shelving reading as a hobby for a long period of time.

So I decided to just stop trying and if I don't enjoy them, I stop. There are too many good books to read out there for me to try to force feed one to myself.

Once you change your DNS server in your router, make sure to renew your clients DHCP lease. It may still be using the stale DNS server. On windows verify its using the new DNS server with: ipconfig /all

+1 for openscad. I switched over from Fusion 360 back when autodesk changed the personal use license in 2020.

It takes a bit to get used to it, but once you've made a few parts you begin to see how powerful it can really be.

Its also super lightweight, so you can run it on most systems without any issues. I've ran in on a chromebook before.

The only thing I miss about fusion 360 is an easy way to add fillets to parts, that can be tricky in openscad. I use chamfers for the most part though, so I don't miss it much.

I've been happy with racknerd. They usually run specials that are pretty reasonable: https://www.racknerd.com/NewYear/

I did have one rather long outage of about 48 hours once. The host running my VPS had a nic fail. They got it fixed and it's been solid ever since.

I agree not having micro SD cards is pretty frustrating. The way I have worked around it is to "self-host" the things that take up lots of storage space on a separate PC, and connect to that with my phone when I want to access it.

For example, instead of loading a bunch of movies onto my phone, all my movies/tv are on my plex server. When I want to watch something I just open the Plex app and go. The videos don't take up any space on my phone (unless i will be out of service, then I can download them via the app for offline viewing).

I do the same thing for music, pictures, and other things. A benefit of this is all my stuff is accessible from all my devices (phone, tablet/pc/laptop/tv) without me having to manually load it on each device.

It takes work to get setup, and it's important to make sure you have good data backup practices incase you have drives that fail. But once you have it setup it's quite liberating not having to rely on all the BS cloud services that big tech tries to sell us.

While I would still prefer to have a micro sd card slot, this setup makes me miss them less.

Secret Hitler is CC 4.0 and is really fun. They have a print and play version you can download on the website for free.

A custom router + managed switch is a great way to learn. Studying the fundamentals is also good, but in my opinion it's not as fun as setting up your own network and learning hands-on.

If you decide to go this route I highly reccomend taking regular backups of your config (and backup again before you change stuff). Part of learning involves breaking things - trust me you will break your network - and in networking that's one of the best ways to learn. Backups will give you an easy way to restore to a known working configuration.
