I just use multiple VPN tunnels with the first two hops still in the US (so it doesn’t look like I’m going offshore) with random delays along the way (to avoid timing attacks) to a Lemmy instance in a privacy-friendly country.
They could probably still figure out who I am if they tried hard enough though.
Then when they inevitably get hacked you’ll get a trillion scammers on you 24/7. Hopefully you used a unique email address you can shut down and they don’t ask for any other information.
Yeah that’s kind of the downside. I considered using a Raspberry Pi but it felt weird to use its Ethernet port alongside some micro USB → Ethernet adapter that probably wouldn’t hit 1 Gbps anyway.
“Is now on macOS” or “is now on the Mac?” The former is the OS while the latter is the hardware. Saying it’s “now on Mac” is kind of odd.
Honestly I just bought a small mini PC and installed Linux on it — that’s my router. I got sick of consumer trash anyway and decided to roll my own. The mini PC is overkill, you can get by very modest hardware.
Shutting doors when the A/C or heater is on. Apparently closing doors behind you is rocket science out here in California.
I get like this if I have a good weekend, trip or vacation. It’s supposedly supposed to make you feel better in life but for me the stress beforehand (if it’s a big trip) and the depression afterward almost make it easier to bury my head in work and not peak too far outside my little bubble.
I put black beans in my chili

Damn
Why even have returns at all? Why not just take out the proper amount each pay period and for those who aren’t on payroll just require quarterly payments/refunds? There’s probably a lot of “but…”s but I just can’t imagine that it’s impossible. What century is this?
Right, I should’ve clarified that “other than the news media I don’t think anyone takes him seriously.”
Honestly I didn’t think anyone was taking his comments seriously but it turns out it was just me. But seriously: unless he actually does something I don’t believe a single word out of his KFC grease encased throat.
I don’t see myself ever owning a home. I’m in Los Angeles making ~$100k per year. I have friends who’ve tried to save and make down payments toward properties for sale but they always fell through.
irs.gov does this too
It’s hosted on Docker on Alpine Linux on a Raspberry Pi 4. It’s actually doing a trillion other things too and it’s not bogged down at all.
If you look at most apps they’re just wrappers around the websites. Usually they’re using the exact same domains for payment processing so I can only imagine that the payment details are 99% the same.
Personally I haven’t experienced an increase in card declinations on websites.
Apps shouldn’t live in the menubar to start with — why bring this Windows XP habit to macOS in the age of the notch? It makes no sense.
Do we need an icon for every fucking daemon?
Having lived in California now for ~13 years this always gives me a good chuckle. We’re either in the hole or flying high, it’s never a happy medium.
