I swear my corporate wellness program is a data gathering company based off the questions they ask, the frequency of having to check in, and for how little money they kick back.
- Comment on It’s gonna run so good 1 week ago:
My last house had all my phone lines connected together in one place. I thought, perfect, I’ll put a gigabit switch here! I removed the ethernet wires, put ethernet heads on them, then went throughout my whole house doing the same at every phone jack. I got an ethernet cable tester. Not a single one worked. I could get the occational partial connections, but no full connection. I made a few ethernet cables just to make sure I wan’t doing it wrong, and they worked fine.
There may be another explaination as to what I saw, but I tried for several days trying to get ethernet throughout the house to no avail.

A lot of builders run ethernet and terminate it with the rj11 port plates. The cable behind it is still ethernet. They just don’t use like half of the wires.
- Comment on What is the best way to set up qbittorrent so I can maximize downloading and maximize seeding books? 1 week ago:
vpnx.blog/how-long-does-seeding-take-qbittorrent/
you can set a share ratio and a seed time limit.
Share ratio means I downloaded 10mb of data, I want to share it 10x then stop seeding. So you set your ratio to 10. If you want to share it 100x, set it to 100. Since you’re mostly doing books it depends on your available hdd space, but they tend to be small (even audiobooks) so it wouldn’t be much of a sacrifice to seed them a lot.
seed time limit is different. You can set it for say 30 days. What that means is if nobody tries ti download it for 30 days at all, then you stop seeding.
That way you can download a popular book and an unpopular book. The popular book will be seeded 100x and then removed, and after a month the unpopular book which hasn’t been seeded at all, gets removed too.

tools->options->advanced->network interface. Replace “any” with the vpn tunnel.

Step 1: Pay for a VPN with port forwarding Step 2: Bind qbittorrent to the VPN so it can only connect through the VPN. No accidental opening qbittorrent without the VPN.

- Comment on The legendary PS2 2 months ago:
I remember staying up all night long with a group of friends of mine. We took turns driving by Target where one guy worked and he knew they were getting a shipment of PS2s in.
We formed battle plans based on who wanted the PS2 the most , down to me, who would buy one if there were enough, but didn’t overly care if I had to wait a few months to get one. Since I cared less, and am over 6ft I was dubbed crowd control. The guy that worked there drew the floorplan and showed us where the display was going. Our caffeine fueled plans had us developing different formations and routes to ensure as many PS2s for the group as possible and delay other people as long as possible. And contingency plans if a different customer took an alternate route around the crowd to get there first.
Once we saw the line starting to form at around 2am we all drove down and got in line and camped out till 6am when the store opened.
Our plans were dashed, but held in reserve just in case things went south when we learned the store manager was a levelheaded individual. He passed out numbers for each of us based on our position in line.
I was #12.
The line never got longer than the number of PS2s they had in stock, so our plans were doubly dashed as there was absolutly zero confrontation.
It was a fun fantasy for a while though. These were the same kids that had baseball bats and ski masks at the ready when Y2K happened. They patrolled the town at midnight looking for signs that everything crashed and were going to join in if they saw anyone looting. They wouldn’t start the looting, but were ready with a wishlist from various stores. Best Buy was high in their priorities.
That also never happened. But boy were they ready.

Interesting. I usually go for the charmin strong, but even it, when I place it on my toilet paper holder which holds 5 rolls vertically like that. If the first glued on roll comes loose it’ll unravel annoyingly.

I mean there’s the Iron Dome the US helped fund for Isreal. It’s a short range air defense system. It’s not built for offense, and wouldn’t work well for it from what I understand.
But even that there’s still the ‘self-defense’ mentality where the iron dome could shoot down non-combatants flying within range because of a supposed threat.
- Comment on Is using an ssd as a cache to speed up a harddrive still a thing? 3 months ago:
Not for gaming so much after ssds got big and cheap, but on NAS Operating Systems like Unraid and TrueNAS, (and likely others) you have a pool of hard drives that do big data storage. Like you pointed out IO is slow. So to speed things up you have an ssd setup as cache. Typically you have the programs you have running are running off that ssd cache. It does IO to the ssd and you setup a slow scheduled replication to the hdd pool.
- Comment on End of an era? 3 months ago:
Right? I’m still pissed off about the PS3. I owned a PS1 and a PS2. PS3 launched and before I could save up enough money, two awesome features that the PS3 launched with they pulled support for. At launch you could boot to linux and you could play PS2 games. They disabled both before I could buy one. Huge class action lawsuit if I remember correctly. But they keep pulling the same shit.

Does visibly liberal equate to adding the free stuff like lettuce, pico, and corn. Instead of just meat, beans, rice and cheese?
Lettuce takes up a lot of space.

There’s SpamBlocker app in fdroid I use and love. You can add a regex rule to block numbers. I moved several times, and don’t keep in contact with anyone from that area code anymore, so most spam come in spoofing that area code. I have a rule set to block that area code completely and allow my current actual local area code for doctors and schools and whatnot. Works pretty well.

Definately an option. Hard when there’s more than like 5 pieces of paper.
- Comment on I vaguely remember these but forgot what they were for 4 months ago:
You use a paper hole punch to punch a hole in several papers. Then you put the tines through the hole, and then bend them in opposite directions fastening the papers together. Old manilla envelopes have then built into the envelope to keep the flap shut.
