I know it’s cliche but Friends.

WigglingWalrus, in What's a good router for a home VPN?
@WigglingWalrus@feddit.uk avatar

Do you have any other requirements for the router? Or just to be able to run a VPN? When you say VPN, are you looking just to encrypt your home network (create your own VPN) or to use a paid service? E.g. VPN client or server?

eazel7,

I’m looking to dial in my home to reach some servers I expect to have running there. I could go the raspberry way, but I’d prefer it to be a router. I have some cloud servers for my own development that I’d like to host myself And maybe one of those services would be exposed.

Most decent routers should support that. I personally use a Unifi Dream Machine which I can’t fault. Previously used a Nighthawk router which also supported it.

Black-ish

For someone who is not Black, it brings a glimpse into Black culture that I simply did not have. Plus, Anthony Anderson is perfect casting for the role.

Community for sure

That’s the one. A general story throughout but each episode essentially a standalone, and so many fantastic episodes (and sure, some not as). D&D needs to get put back on streaming, though.

GeoGio7,

If you watch it on Amazon it has the D&D episode!

strangerloop, in During travel, what can I prepare beforehand as meal, which can be eaten without access to fire or microwave?

One of my favorite snacks to eat on daytrips are hardboiled eggs. You could bring chili/spice mix packets with you to add flavor on the road (I like buying some labeled as “hot pot mate” from my local chinese market). Not much of a meal by themselves of course, but can be a very filling supplement to something like a sandwich or a salad. Good as in between snacks too.

nigelinux,

My wife likes hardboiled eggs more than I do, I think she would love to have some. Thanks!

PotjiePig, in What's your favorite restaurant chain?

Morley’s for the banger hot wings.

>travels halfway around the world

>worries about food being expensive

kia,

Flying to Iceland is actually relatively cheap. Things are insanely expensive once you’re there though.

derf82,

For 2 people it’s at least around $2,000 (or the local equivalent) from Hong Kong round trip. Kind of cheap, but not that cheap.

Still, given the carbon emissions of flying, it is far too cheap to fly in general.

kia,

Oh wow, that’s way more expensive than I thought.

JackGreenEarth,

We should switch back to dirigibles.

nigelinux,

I understand it may sound strange. But given we’ve spent a lot on tickets, tours and accommodations, we’d like to spend less on food, which is the least important thing to us. My wife sometimes even jokes if there’s a pill that can provide all nutrition a person need, she would take that every day and forgo the ability/choice to eat any other thing.

bionicjoey,

Just buy groceries and cook them in your hotel while you’re there instead of eating at restaurants. My cousin did a trip to Iceland a few years ago and that was his strategy.

nigelinux,

We do plan to cook at the hotel we’ve booked, but not sure what type of food are more suitable to be brought as lunch without microwave. In HK, we often cook rice and such and use microwave to reheat for lunch.

dinosara,

In this case, whey protein and some Carbo snacks?

luthis, in Should an altruistic organ donor be allowed to restrict their donation to a specific group of people? (e.g. women, gingers)

Excellent question. I have to put myself in their shoes. I don’t want my kidneys going to… a member of the North Korean dictatorship, or the CCP. Or any of the elite in Dubai. I don’t see anything wrong with my preferences there, so we would have to allow people to discriminate indiscriminately. I guess I would have to be in favour. There are people that I think are more deserving than others. Jeffery Dahmer isn’t getting my organs.

uncategory,

“Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.”

I do not understand the concept of “deserving to live.” I did nothing to deserve life; it was given to me before I could do anything. Some people think that people can forfeit their “right to life” by their actions, but how can someone forfeit a right they never acquired?

I understand killing for practical reasons, in some cases, but claiming that everyone is born with a right to life that can be taken away is incoherent,

Serinus,

We’ve decided long ago that bad people surviving is better than good people dying.

bh11235,

The way I see it you are under no obligation to bite that bullet just because of your understandable sentiment. It may be true that e.g. “My organs won’t go to Catholics” and “My organs won’t go to serial killers” are two sentences that have a similar structure, but this doesn’t at all mean they have the same moral weight, or that we as a society are compelled in some way to treat them equally.

TheEntity,

TBH I'd rather donate to a serial killer that can realistically harm a dozen of people at most, than a person willfully supporting a global child molestation ring harming thousands annually and holding back the society for centuries.

bh11235,

What a deplorable take. Is the 10-year-old child living in the USA who says “I love my country” morally responsible for the war in Iraq? Is the 10-year-old Saudi Arabian saying “I love my country” morally responsible for 9/11? By what mechanism does your standard spare any human being at all, ever, from total moral condemnation?

TheEntity,

A 10-year-old isn't a willful supporter of these causes.

The CCP doesn’t need your kidneys, they harvest them from the Uyghurs.

makanimike, (edited ) in What series did you rewatch most often?

Black Sails. I’m at 4x here, at least for some seasons.

Moonlighting. I think I might be at 3x on this classic.

I suspect the White Lotus might become a repeat view.

skullgiver, in Any good macro/keybind software for linux with wayland?
@skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl avatar

Wayland doesn’t permit applications to capture the input if their windows are not in focus. Applications just scanning the keyboard to detect key presses won’t work.

Somewhere last year, the global shortcut portal spec was merged into xdg-desktop-portals. This allows applications to register global hotkeys without allowing every window to spy on every other window. I don’t know what versions/distros you need to get that support, but you’ll probably need something released this year.

Applications don’t seem all that eager to implement this API, though. You can work around it by using your desktop environment’s system shortcuts and assigning them to shell commands that will pass messages through for you through network APIs/DBUS/UNIX sockets/whatever your application accepts.

Alternatively, your planned Python script could do the necessary portal calls if you’re still willing to go the script route.

I would recommend just using a RaspberryPi and host it yourself. I never had any issues and it was the most reliable way for me

thequickben,

I second this. Pivpn is very easy to setup.

jordanlund, in What's your favorite restaurant chain?
@jordanlund@lemmy.one avatar

Ezell’s Chicken, but only in Seattle and Beaverton, OR.

ohlaph,

That 3.8 rating had me a bit worried to try them.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.one avatar

The chicken is amazing, but there are issues with the original owner and a contentious lawsuit. :(

seattlerefined.com/…/pickin-chicken-ezells-vs-hea…

Heaven Sent might be better, but they also aren’t down here in Oregon yet. :)

scaramantulatte,

There’s one in Tacoma as well, it’s pretty good!

Very specific to Hawaii but- Zippy’s.

ohlaph,

Haha.

FlashPossum, in What are some of the things you say / think to yourself when going through a hard time or dealing with uncertainty to help yourself along?

Life is like a long running tv show. Some previous seasons were awesome. This one sucks but I have to stay around to find out what happens next.
Doesn’t matter how bad it currently is, the curiosity to see which twist it pulls next is stronger.
