bogo, in What's a good router for a home VPN?

Take a look at Tailscale. You can probably do what you want using that and basically any router out there since it’s zero-config in the router, you’re hardware independent.

eazel7,

I use tailscale currently. It’s amazing, but I need just a little bit more

cyberpunk007, in What movie did you rewatch most often?

The fast and the furious 1,2,3

weksa, in What's your favorite restaurant chain?

Ruth’s Chris. Best ribeye I’ve ever had at a chain restaurant. Also the most expensive. It’s the only restaurant ribeye that has never disappointed me.

TORFdot0, in The Best Two-Factor Authentication App? (iOS)

If you wear an Apple Watch DUO has a watch app and so I’ve migrated all my accounts that support duo to it so I can leave my phone in my pocket and just look at my wrist

Poeticbiscuit, in How do you cheer yourself up after a rough day? Or a rough year?

I go take a walk. Beach would be ideal, but nowadays even at the park or lastly at the mall. Anywhere relatively safe to just walk and listen to music. I find it improves my mood.

Eating good food and taking a shower after a rough day helps a lot too.

Poeticbiscuit, in What movie did you rewatch most often?

I only usually rewatch films whenever I feel like I’d need a pick-me-up. Something light-hearted, so I’d usually go for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

But during my recent movie marathon, I discovered more films which are actually good contenders for a rewatch such as The Fundamentals of Caring (highly recommended) and The Land of Steady Habits.

Does SemiCon still happen?

My dad used to work for a company that made wafers and would always go to SemiCon every year. Took me once. Didn’t know shit about printing wafers, but it was still cool.

TenderfootGungi, in Conventions for techies/nerds?

SXSW. Tech conference + music + movies.

The Dark Knight.

lingh0e, in What movie did you rewatch most often?

In the theater? Boogie Nights.

My friend and I didn’t know a goddamn thing about Paul Thomas Anderson when we went to the premiere. All we knew was that Heather Graham got naked in this movie about porn stars. We’d both had massive crushes on Heather ever since License to Drive… A crush which was only strengthened by her appearance in Swingers.

It turned out that the great nudity was only a bonus to what ended up being an amazing film with brilliant performances from everyone… INCLUDING Marky Mark. My friend and I ended up going to see Boogie Nights on the big screen close to 20 times. It helped that I had just gotten a job as an usher at a theater when the movie got it’s second run, so we could see it for free. It also became a point of local pride since PTA was North East Ohio television royalty, and my friend and I wanted to follow in his footsteps

ScrivenerX,

For me, it was, sadly, Final Fantasy Spirits Within.

I don’t like the movie, but when it was in theaters every one of my friends wanted to see it, and schedules didn’t line up. Buddy is in town for 3 days “hey let’s see a movie!” Every time it ended up being that damn movie.

I ended up seeing it in the theaters 10 times.

lingh0e,

That’s actually a great movie, and it’s probably one of my most watched DVDs.

It’s some of the best early mo-cap cgi in cinema history. Photorealistic without diving into the uncanny valley.

And storyline is very engaging. It hits poignant notes about pacifism, environmentalism and reincarnation without coming off as preachy or condescending.

diskmaster23,

The lady that was having sex with everyone at the party was the oddest thing. That was totally not a healthy relationship.

lingh0e,

That was the point.

Crankpork, in What gaming console / platform do you prefer?

I play a lot of MMOs on my PC laptop, but other than those I mostly use my Switch.

OrkneyKomodo, in What do you use Vaseline for?
@OrkneyKomodo@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

TBH, it’s not that great for lips. Try Carmex.

Fondots,

Back in my marching band days, we swore by blistex DCT as our lip balm of choice.

Take it from the people who spend all summer out in the sun preparing to press pieces of metal up to our lips in sometimes freezing weather.

Belgdore,

Carmex burns like fire

Chilinutz, in What do you use Vaseline for?

Had to read ‘cuts’ twice

MrSlicer, in Are any of the DNA testing companies trustworthy?

Your DNA mostly isn’t yours anyway. Your siblings are largely the same. I did a 23 and me years ago. No regrets yet. I’m eventually going to die probably in 40-50 years. I just don’t see how it can be used against me.

Snapz,

!Remindme in 10 years

That’s because you’re looking for direct, immediate, tangible impact to yourself personally - respectfully, that’s a rather shallow, self-focused view.

Tell me, in detail, how your health/life insurance premiums are calculated? Do you know that data from these companies, even in aggregate, isn’t being taken into consideration when they set process for your geographical location?

Certain data used to be off limits to governments, new law gets passed around major events that can change that. With the type of people that have gotten close to our have held power recently, do you want that data collected and in easy reach?

If you have the markers in your genes that predispose you to say alcoholism or drug addiction, would you want vodka companies to be able to ad target you?

Musk showed that billionaires can buy massive corporations at will and use them for their own agendas, do you want all that data accessible for musk or the next musk when one of those hipster-eugenics peddling natalist fascists decides they want a new project to “improve humanity” in their image?

Theradox, in What's your favorite restaurant chain?

Nando’s for sure - the one saving grace of having to to go back to the U.K. for business so often is a cheeky Nando’s each time
