Nerd, truck driver, and kinda creeped that you’re reading this.

bdonvr,

I mean have we tried taking private health insurer CEOs and putting them all in a big waffle iron?

bdonvr,

I’m sure they’re probably not okay with it but also there’s not much they can do about it other than defederate .ml - such is the nature of open source software.

bdonvr,

I always do lmao, at least the non-wood ones.

It’s worth noting that Tagalog and some other Filipino languages share a pretty large vocabulary with Spanish actually. Of course they have huge differences in other ways but she may have actually understood a bit.

That wasn’t the point of the comment though I know.

According to the NCES, in 2015-16 the average PhD graduate had about $100k student debt

bdonvr,

Ya got me there.

bdonvr,

And a lot of debt, usually. Don’t forget that one.

bdonvr,

Is that really what it is? Shit I thought… well now that I think on it I’m not sure what I thought but not that. Some place with a pool and various physical activities.

bdonvr,

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, great KDE defaults - up to date - stable. Does things a bit differently than most distros but it’s pretty easy to get used to.

bdonvr,

Fedora hasn’t been repackaging Firefox in a problematic format

bdonvr,

amogus

bdonvr,

I don’t understand. What the fuck… who? Huh?

Who would make this? Who would buy it? Who would have it around the house?

bdonvr,

(small cause I’m on a diet)

Pi-Hole or something else for network ad blocking?

I’ve been aware of pi-hole for a while now, but never bothered with it because I do most web browsing on a laptop where browser extensions like uBlock origin are good enough. However, with multiple streaming services starting to insert adds into my paid subscriptions, I’m looking to upgrade to a network blocker that will...

bdonvr,

Pi-hole is great, but unfortunately ads in YouTube or other streaming services is not one of the things it blocks.

I run Tumbleweed on my PCs and Leap on my server.

It feels so weird to update my server after a few weeks and have like no packages to update.

Self-hosted or personal email solutions?

I have a unique name, think John Doe, and I’m hoping to create a unique and “professional” looking email account like johndoe@gmail.com or john@doe.com. Since my name is common, all reasonable permutations are taken. I was considering purchasing a domain with something unique, then making personal family email accounts for...

Use Cloudflare or PorkBun.com for cheap, no bullshit domains. As for the email host, self hosting not recommended. It’s a long battle to be not blocked by every other provider.

I recommend purelymail.com - no cost to add (even multiple!) custom domains, unlimited users, only pay for mail usage and storage. Go for advanced pricing until it starts costing you more than $10/yr. (Which it shouldn’t if it’s just you. Seriously this thing is cheap!) I just passed my one year anniversary with PurelyMail, and have spent $6 so far. This is my most expensive month, 85¢. And that’s only because I host a public Lemmy instance (small) and we had a few hundred spam signups which sends an email each time.

This will give you a total yearly price WAY under what Google or Microsoft will give you. Google is like, $7.20/user/month.

And if for some reason that service goes down one day, as long as you still have a mail client with your email stored in it you should be able to just switch providers and import your emails from your client. Make some backups.

bdonvr,

Ooh, I’m in one of those states. I’ll use this out of principle even though I don’t have too many issues with FreeTaxUSA

bdonvr,

Hey buddy can a pal get the recipe?

bdonvr,

Chocolate or cocoa powder in chili yes

But not that much. Just a lil very dark chocolate

bdonvr,

America absolutely wrecked the situation in Korea and for little other reason than rabid anticommunist sentiment.

bdonvr,

DuoLingo isn’t really that great for learning languages anyway

bdonvr,

If you’re asking who’d put rice with ketchup - my sister used to put ketchup on her popcorn. Microwave popcorn. Pre-buttered.

bdonvr,

Cute af though I definitely think it’s gotta go the other way around!

bdonvr,

It’s kinda cool actually, but kids exist and I don’t think kids should exist… around this.
