  I like to hold the banana upright facing away from me, and then I sneak up behind it and use a really sharp knife to sever the jugular part way through before I rip its head backward, peeling the skin all the way down its spine.

  It’s immensely satisfying, especially the crisp clear sound the knife makes as it cuts off the life force

  I don’t have space for a desktop computer - and I have a stabdalone house, it’s not like I’m in some tiny apartment, so I’m guessing this isn’t too unusual? I pull out the laptop when I want to play games.

  It helps that I don’t play AAA games and a decent spec laptop plays what I want just fine

  On MacOS this will do it:

  sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.ttl=65
   sudo sysctl net.inet6.ip6.hlim=65 
  

  Can’t personally speak for other OSes at present. Here’s a SO post about Ubuntu: askubuntu.com/a/670276 With some routers you may be able to change the TTL for all connected devices: jv.ag/blog/GLinet-TTL-Change/

  You can also just increase your laptop’s initial TTL by one and then they can’t tell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtube ads finally got me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t understand why people are just taking it for granted that everyone’s watching youtube.

  I’ve watched maybe a video a month on youtube for the last decade. It’s a noisy loud messy platform and I don’t understand what people enjoy about it.

  I watch Netflix a bit and at least the shows there are actual produced shows and not just some bullshit some teenager made up in their spare time. Even if a lot of them are still trash there’s a much higher signal:noise ratio than on youtube.

  So my solution is: just don’t use youtube? And obviously use an ad blocker or piped.video if you do occasionally visit it.

  I’ve kind of always wanted to use AdNauseum, but since I still depend on my Google account somewhat I’m hesitant to give them reasons to delete me, and I’ve settled for blocking ads and supporting rival services.

  Has anyone had their google account banned over this?
