oatscoop@midwest.socialto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Inching closer to the grave every day10·1 month agoOne day you’ll wake up and realize people born on the year you graduated school can legally vote, drink, etc. A short time later those kids have kids of their own … and you are ( or are old enough to be ) a grandparent.
The worst part is you’ll still mentally feel like you’re not much older than your late 20s or 30s.

Another factor contributing to the discontinuation of manual transmissions is the increasing emphasis on safety features and the integration of advanced driver-assist technologies.
Ew.
oatscoop@midwest.socialto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I wonder if the "money can't buy you happiness" people ever lived in a car.1·1 month agoThat was the original meaning, but it’s also been co-opted by assholes as an “argument” against providing for people’s basic needs.
oatscoop@midwest.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•I'm Tired of Pretending Tech is Making the World BetterEnglish9·2 months agoTechnology has never been the problem: there’s nothing wrong with genetic engineering, AI, etc. They can (and have) been used for good.
The problem has always been the “greed is good” sociopaths using it for evil.

It also kills off any pathogens, which is a good things since it’s fairly common for raw flour to be contaminated with E. coli and Salmonella.
Cold water causes them to revert back to wet flour.

oatscoop@midwest.socialto Technology@beehaw.org•I love my smart TV (From Mastodon) - Repost1·4 months agoA set of torx screwdrivers and an exacto knife will take care of that. Pretty hard for a cellular modem to transmit data when the traces to the antenna are cut.

The have their own domain names, they have a web presence, etc – running a mastodon instance on existing infrastructure hardly qualifies as wasteful.
oatscoop@midwest.socialto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK There’s someone running around Lemmy posting misinformation against Wikipedia1·4 months agoIt’s not and if anything the fact it’s small has advantages. Small is easier to turn into an echo chamber.
If you can push bullshit onto a small but passionate group of people online they’ll do all the hard work for you. They’ll recruit, polish/tailor the message for other audiences, and spread it across the wider internet.
And we know it works, because that’s exactly how the whole “Q-anon” thing operated. Some vague, crazy bullshit on an obscure imageboard became a nearly mainstream “movement”.
Normally when you’re on a VPN all the network traffic to and from your device is going through the connection to the VPN server, e.g. browsing the internet, online games, etc. It can cause issues with other online services and uses bandwidth (cheap as it is) many VPS provider charges for.
A split tunnel tells the VPN client to only send certain traffic through the tunnel. My wireguard setup assigns IP addresses for the VPN interfaces in the subnet 192.168.2.x, so only traffic addressed to IPs on that subnet get sent through the tunnel. In wireguard it’s a single line in the config file:
AllowedIPs = 192.168.2.0/24
I’m in the same situation.
Fortunately there’s a million companies that offer VPS with a static IP address for only few bucks a month. I set one up to run a wireguard VPN server which all my devices and home servers connect to as clients. I also configured everything to use a split tunnel to save bandwidth.
It’s an added layer of security too.
