Can anyone tell me why this submission has been disappeared from the *ask* section? Is dang a Network-Manager guy? Edit: Tried two separate browsers and it has been nixed from the #ask# section. It's just fading away under the #new# se

Man, I sympathize. Google can be ruthless with their (IMO poorly implemented) authentication schemes. I queried an LLM and its reply was: Backup Codes If you set up 2FA previously, you should have received a set of backup codes. These are o

I've been disappointed with pretty much all recent SEs (DDG being among the very worst). Having been an early Scroogle user, ixquick (startpage) and a few other ones I dearly miss, I've been using https://freespoke.com&

Try a good monopod. They're significantly more portable and give just enough stability in most cases to give good views whille allowing less restricted movement than most tripods.

I used to, back in the better days whence I ran, keep gps records of most of my trajectories. None ever made significant art, but it's not an unpleasant exercise in itself to mentally revisit the paths while attempting to remember as m

I just decided to give a go at a pi5 last week. I was pretty enthusiastic and had planned to boot it via ssd, but after hours of trying to get the wifi chip working, I re-packed it and returned it. I tried 3 separate high quality class 10 s

I'm embarrassed to admit, I'm using Perplexity. It's not all bad but the censorship and sometimes extreme reluctance to discuss out-of-the-box material infuriates me. The token caching also makes soome coding excursions a has

That's the only AI I'm interested in, for personal use. I presently pay $20 monthly for something I'm far from satisfied with.

I appreciate this and will look into it eventually. Years ago, I used Motion[0] on a pi, laptop and desktop, configured to sftp the motion-activated images to a remote server. I could check the files upon alert and view them in rapid succes

In your specific context, the following doesn't directly apply, but the statement that driving is a privilege is frequently made here, often as a whole truth and not merely legal truism. It is a prevarication at best, to argue this bey

Hello there. This reply is probably too late, but I have a recommendation. Of course you should confirm the absence of contraindications first, but a good quality catnip supplement can induce vivid dreams. If you cannot find a reliable supp

You just kicked at least one elephant in the room, smack in the nads. I sincerely think this is an underestimated issue. It reminds me of the Jewish family afflicted with neurocysticercosis - a disease normally precluded from those not part

This is amazing dialog. Deserves a website of its own. You two should collaborate. The important stuff tended to, I honestly don't find humor in criticizing amateur art, especially without a background or any info on the creator, etc.

My sentiments are very similar, and I'm glad to read someone else articulating it here. Edit: Are we missing something?

When I watched the film Memento, I found myself thinking 'holy shit, I'm not quite far away enough from this...'. No tattoos yet, but one could write a book on the stcky pads I've laying around. As a bit of a luddite, e-

Fair question and I'm not certain. If I guessed, I'd say you're generally right, for now. I think it's important to keep that crap out altogether and maintain a refuge somewhere, where one can doff the coat, sit down and

I'll also remind you of Audacity's opt-out telemetry proposal [0]. This is a rare exception in Linux presently and I'd hate to see it become the rule. 0. Only link I could quickly find: https://www.reddit.com/

I think a good example in support of your statement is the superfluous metrics wantonly spewed by, eg, Firefox. A cursory perusal of about:config will list many many default settings which are completely unnecessary for normal browser funct

First, yes, data is extraordinarily valuable. No doubt. While it may be commonly accepted by most, I don't want my personal computer crawling with telemetry. I despise the idea. The harm is, in my opinion, partly in creep, where just

When it gets to Microsoft-level telemetry, yes, I'd say monsters. This situation? Less so. But how it so easily approaches such levels needs consideration. There's simply a prevailing view with data where "if it exists and we

DeSantis has made a few mistakes that have shaken previous supporters and infuriated others. I've mostly scratched my head at most if it, but one that I couldn't ignore was the adorable plot to turn our State Parks into sports fac
