We do something similar only it's posting pictures of ponies to slack. I also heard of one other company where the tradition was to send an email out to the rest of the company offering to bring in donuts.

Well, I don't know about you specifically, but I think the average person is more affected by advertising than they realize.
933.
by nfriedly 5y ago
Yeah... I hate advertising for a few reasons, including aesthetics and warped incentives. But one of the big ones is that it works. It works on me. Even when I know I'm being manipulated, I can't entirely stop it.

I had the same thing happen with Gigabit ethernet adapters from some vendor on Ali Express. There was a USB 2.0 version with a black connector and a more expensive "USB 3.0" version with the blue connector. I ordered the 3.0 versi

I've been pretty happy with my local Unraid server. I have a few things running on it, including Plex for my music library and Nextcloud for notes, file storage, and automatic photo uploads from my phone. The software and Nextcloud dat

I keep hoping Apple will put out a new iPod touch. My kids use mine a lot, and I've thought about getting a another one, but it doesn't seem worth it to pay full price for a 5-year-old device. Instead I just replaced the battery i

I'm not sure if the grandparent was thinking of this, but I have lived places where the city collected compost on the same days as the trash and recycling - there was just an extra bin that you could throw food scraps and yard waste an

I'm not personally running unbound, just a Pi-hole that up-stream's to my ISP's DNS, so I can't answer you from first-hand experience. But, according to drexlspivey, unbound will pre-fetch common queries, so it probably

by nfriedly 5y ago
I know this isn't quite what your asking for, but one idea is to set up a Pi-hole + unbound: https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/unbound/ Unbound is basically your own private DNS resolver and then Pi-ho

I've been meaning to do this for a while, so thanks for the reminder! Now that I set it up, how do I know if it's doing anything? The logs show it bootstraped up to 100% then figured out my IP, and the last line says > Self-tes

Yeah, I came here to say this. In particular, I remember a bit about how to take an alternator from a car, use a river's current and a paddle-wheel to spin it, and tada: you've made a hydro-electric generator. Each one provides a

I'm sure that plays a part, but I think the primary reason for the 5G push is better spectrum utilization. (And marketing is probably a close second.)

Oh, good point. Now that I think about it, I did overspend by a small amount once, and I remember the bank paid it but charged me a $25 fee so that my account was left at -$26 or whatever. I think my paycheck cleared the next day, and then
