I’m surprised the amount of people saying they have had no issues with DucksDNS. I’ve used it for about five years and had issues on and off with it being unresponsive many times.
Gave up and moved to afraid.org about a year back and that’s been a very solid service ever since.
I was running Helldiver’s 2 for a few weeks this year on CPU alone, and wondering why my framerate sucked. I thought the devs had put out a bad update.
Then I realized the game had forced DX12 and also decided that my graphics card was lacking a feature it required - so it fell back to CPU only. I forced DX11 in config = fixed. Me: 🤡
Well that sounds right… like I said, Ambien is counter-indicated for alcohol, combined they can cause euphoria which leads to abuse. Gotta chill on the alcohol, the meds work without it.
This is more and more sounding like alcoholism? Treat that first, your sleep will definitely improve.
There is a regulated medication I have and success with called Belsomra that works well. Not cheap though, unfortunately (circa $1/tablet) - definitely cheaper than boozing it up every night though.
Whatever you try I’d recommend staying away from Ambien (zolpidem tartrate) as it can be abused with alcohol, and alcoholics often develop a tolerance and dependence on it. Docs would most likely recommend against it, but the internet / random people might.
Blocking is severe, but boy is my feed clean of morons (I think I’ve only blocked like 30 people on Lemmy).
You gotta try it. Very satisfying to click ‘read all’ on your inbox now and then to clear out notifications for new (hidden) messages from trolls you’ve blocked.
I know it gets thrown around a lot, but the Dunning-Kruger effect is real and applicable to people in all fields.
WEP is insecure - that’s why it’s not used anymore.
Quite different to a secure protocol that has had some manufacturers leak keys due to poor security practices.
Don’t pay the guys on G2A for keys - they’re just reselling stolen corporate MAK keys. They’re also not legal to the terms of the EULA, so it’s not a ‘genuine copy’ for the buyer either - you may as well just use Massgrave instead of funding crooks.
To add to your list of options: you can also just leave it unactivated forever.
It’ll whine about requiring activation with a ''Activate Windows. Go to Settings to activate Windows" message overlaying the bottom right corner of the screen - but that’s it, functionality is otherwise 99% unaffected (you can’t change wallpaper… Oh no). For Windows 10 it will now stop offering updates though - same as any standard Win10 copy, so I’d again recommend the Massgrave Dev route to keep the updates coming a few more years.
I’m 95% sure this is parody because if it was real there’s no way this person’s family would ask them to host Thanksgiving. And nobody blocks 443 on a guest wifi… that’d block everything they’d even need the guest wifi for.
Disagree, Wikipedia is a pretty reliable bastion of facts due to its editorial demands for citations and rigorous style guides etc.
Can you point out any of these personal fiefdoms so we can see what you’re referring to?
And the featured articles are usually quite large. As an example, today’s featured article is on a type of crab - the article is over 3,700 words with 129 references and 30-something books in the bibliography.
It’s not particularly unreasonable or unsurprising to be able to find a single error amongst articles that complex.
Nah you can turn the phone off once the video has started. I only know this because my kids have regularly failed to charge the ‘phone that we only use for Chromecast to the tv’ and it sometimes dies while they’re watching something. Keeps playing until the end.
You need the phone for any controls issued to the Chromecast like volume, subs, pause, seek, etc… But you don’t strictly need it once the video has started playing, presuming you’re not using any control commands.
Nah, the second most infuriating thing about AI is people who always rush to blame the users when the multibillion-dollar ‘tool’ has some otherwise indefensible failure - like deleting a users entire hard drive contents completely unprompted.
No, because they are not hunting bird and small animal species to extinction.
They’re also part of the native ecosystem so anything they do kill is generally for subsitence, and not impactful to the ecosystem they’ve existed with for thousands of years.
Barn cats just kill for fun.
Yeah, fuck the local wildlife if it means you don’t have to deal with the hair of your pet being on your couch.
You should change your username to PermanentlyPedantic
Yes. The other person said they were “carnivorous” though. Giant tortoises are not carnivorous.
Horses are also not carnivorous even though they do eat meat on rare occasions to survive.
Words mean things.
You’re also wrong about horses. Put a steak on the ground in field of plentiful grass, horses will ignore it until it’s rotted away to nothing. They do not just eat stuff outside of their regular died because its risk free and easily obtained.
Joke not funny, advice dumb. People no haha, give better advice.
Judging by those advice posts being massively upvoted - seems most agree.
Yeah DuckDNS gave me many false positive outages where its resolution failed, for multiple half-days every year I used it (5yrs+).
I moved to the afraid.org and its been solid, if anyone’s looking for another free service - only cost is you have to log in once every six months to validate your account is not dormant. They have a paid tier which gives more features (that most home users will never need), and that allows the guy running it to fund a very reliable service.
