@QueenHawlSera @nightlily pretty sure that you just have to consider reddit as having been very much broken for a number of years now.
They erroneously ban good users and encourage the trolls.
The only way the experience is bearable is just to block idiots yourself and not engage.

@rumba @ruffsl never underestimate the lure of a single pane of glass approach

@markovs_gun @Abraxas Kids are being banned from all social media here in Australia soon. Including, it seems, YouTube lol.
Expensive and completely unworkable. Reminds me I must spin up that Mastodon instance for my kids and their mates :mastodondance:
It's absolutely not about making sure everyone signs up to DigitalID.

@SheeEttin @AdrianTheFrog +1 Email for me is basically irrelevant. MFA resets, adverts from companies I forgot to unsubscribe from and a couple of bills. No personal correspondence or anything I would think is worth self-hosting it for these days. Other than many headaches.

@BigTrout75 @Squiddork and ffs print out some instructions on how to access it all. And tell someone where you've put that.
Consider using a decent password manager and you'll only need to let your loved ones know how to get into that.

@Pyr_Pressure @TheLoneMinon Cars are seeming to forget who is in charge.
I've a mate who's just dropped over 100k on a brand new LandCruiser and deliberately went for not the top-spec because it has too many "safety" features. And he's still finding things like it won't drive if a door is open - so no leaning out to reverse his towed caravan. Lane departure assist is ridiculously aggressive (and actually dangerous when towing a big caravan). Dog on the back seats sets the seatbelt alarms off. And way too much other stuff. Some of it can be disabled permanently with the aid of an ODB dongle.
Car makers need to just stop.

@Ek-Hou-Van-Braai depends what you're labbing. any sort of virtualisation etc then a mini PC from Beelink or Bosgame etc. networking have a look at Ubiquiti stuff.
yes, you can get "refurbished" stuff pike Cisco switches or whatever. but consider if big, old, slow, power hungry, umsupported kit is what you are ok with (it may well be)

@Lodespawn @EvilBit that sounds like a shortcut to a bad time

@BeardedGingerWonder @BOFH666 always worth googling around for the Service Manual rather than User Manual for those things. And YouTube. Probably find the correct order in which to take it apart without too many curses.

@4am @BOFH666 would it know if you filled the rinse aid reservoir with water?

@p03locke @shalafi i have a primary email that uses a TLD released in 2014. I use it for any mails that aren't e.g. government or financial. The number of systems/servers/transports that haven't been updated to accept it is quite an annoyance.
I avoid email anyway.
