• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why dont more people live in smaller communities , appart from economic opportunity (WFH is making it possible if not prefferable too)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The reasons I moved from a town of 3,500 people to around 100,000 people after 2 years are

  More dating options: most of the women in the small town I lived in were already in relationships or weren’t compatible. I started dating my wife a few months after I moved

  Better access to services: if I wanted to get groceries on Sunday I would have to drive 30 minutes to the next town over and banks would be closed before 5. The local restaurants were good but there were only a few.

  Better access to fun stuff: I train jiu jitsu and the closest gym to where I lived was a 50 minute drive 1 way and the closest 10+ mile bike trail was 30 minutes away. I would stay at my friend’s house overnight or get a hotel so I could have a decent night on the town since it was also 50 minutes away from home

  There are opportunities to have fun and build a happy life in small towns but if you have niche interests then it can be a little lonely. Plus some of the activities are private so it can be harder to find them and access them.

  The upside was the people there are really nice and it was really cheap to live there so I paid off a ton of debt.

  Not built into jellyfin but you can use net bird or tail scale to access jellyfin from anywhere you have those apps without exposing jellyfin to the public

  I would have thought eating and breathing from the same hole would have been in this release 😞 guess I’ll just have to wait till 3.0

  The Constitution assumes the people through the ballot box or through protest would clean up any issues like that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is TikTok being blocked in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are multiple ways of doing this and I’m not sure which methods tik tok is using.

  • ip address there’s a group called IANA that issues blocks of IP addresses to ISPs and there a companies like Maxmind that package that info. apps can create rules block requests based on that info that block requests coming from a specific location or return an error to the user

  • removing from the app store Companies can ask app stores to no longer offer downloads in a specific region and as the app updates it will become more busted over time

  • user information Based info provided by the user directly during sign up or from the social login a user used to sign up with tik tok

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On a lighter note: Why do people still buy fast food?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Until recently fast food was faster and cheaper than sit down joints and it’s easier to eat while you drive. Since it’s only been recent that is gotten slower and more expensive people still reach for it when they want quick calories.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Android can be configured to require a pin after a reboot which is an ok compromise if you want to invoke the fifth amendment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is DNS often joked about in the I.T. Industry?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When it is the cause of a problem it’s not always obvious at first so you spend hours troubleshooting the broken app until you look at DNS and a simple DNS issue

  The empty window is actually an ancap that sells flags

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is it possible to start a business if you have no money and skills, but have an idea?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  A common pattern is partner with someone with three required skills and you do all the admin work. The option is to learn those skills yourself. Be careful not to be an idea guy. Actually work and gain some skills to provide value

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you work for a corporation that you oppose ideologically, if the pay is good?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I try to avoid to it but no job will be perfect. You could life style creep and that nice salary turns into handcuffs and you might have issues going back to making less at a more ethical company
