Afaik the person who wrote winmx is now publishing fopnu and darkmx. So it’s still around, just in a modern iteration.

For a while now I’ve been using either haproxy or nginx depending on my needs. I’ve hit instances with both where the functionality I want is in the paid version.

Looks super fun :D

Neat! My Dean is a Korean mid 2000s ML. It’s far from heavy but I never noticed the weight until I picked it up seconds after putting a Les Paul down.

Maybe they were using lighter woods, a hollower body or maybe basses are just better weapons ;D

I skip the gym on days where I stand and play one for an hour or more.

Almost threw my dean across the room the first time I picked it up after playing a Les Paul.

Have you looked for providers that offer ETRN? Seems like that might fit your use case well.

I’ve hosted my own email for over a decade with very few issues. It’s low ram and CPU usage so a very cheap VM (or a pair in different locations if you wanna be leet) can be a viable way to avoid the ISP related issues people have trying to host it at home. If you really want it all ending up at home you can do ETRN as mentioned and while TCP/25 is often blocked at home, the submission port (TCP/587) rarely is.

I don’t watch a TON of these things, but I do enjoy them from time to time. The two bits I enjoy the most are vicarious rediscovery of something I enjoy, and getting a very different point of view on the same thing.

Generally when I watch these it’s stuff like “Classically trained musician listens to Megadeth for the first time”. I get reminded of some bits that I’ve grown accustomed to, and sometimes get a whole new perspective on something I’ve been enjoying for years.

I will say, I don’t get “Youtuber reacts to other youtubers reaction to some twitch streamer breakdancing” or “Gymrat listens to ABBA for the first time”.

I fell asleep during “A new hope” 3 times, and just stopped once out of boredom before I was finally able to make it through the whole movie. 100% feel you here. I respect it for what it is, and enjoy a lot of the stuff that has come after it, but man do I feel the original was just LIMP.

FWIW I’m using the downvote button as a “You didn’t explain”, “That’s a band not a movie”, “That’s a show not a movie”, “That’s a genre of animation, not a movie” button ;p I’m definitely clicking it far more often that I typically do =p

It’s wild how many people can write but not read.

I use a hardware password manager that connects over USB or bluetooth for most things. The few things that I use often I have a system for, and that system is popular culture.

Love “The Prisoner of Azkaban”? Initialize it, and add the publish date some where: HP&TPoA|1999

Starship troopers fan? Initialize a memorable quote. “The enemy can not push a button… if you disable his hand. Medic!”: Tecnpab…iydhh.M! Need numbers? Find a quote with numbers, or add the release year, or the number of times you watched it that one weekend where you and a friend watched it 32 times.

Like TV shows more? How about the fourth episode of family guy: S1-MindOverMuder-E4.

Metal Fan? I do love track three off of Metallica’s 1983 album: #3|Motorbreath-1983

Etc.

No, I would not.

Microsoft pivoted to Skype. Saved you a click and reading about 1000 words.

I’m not even interested in the username of the person I’m responding to. I tend to ignore it completely unless there’s a comment like “lol, username checks out”.

There are very few times I will bother to check someones profile. They have to either say something so awesome that I want to see more, or have given a take so hot I want to see if they’re trolling or if this is standard behaviour for them.

While it looks like the whole Jerboa/“miscommunication” thing has been sorted out here I want to chime in to say that no, I don’t think that checking profiles for anything is a reasonable expectation.

I must have been way out of it late last night. I totally missed that you were asking why people do it and not looking for recommendations. Sorry for the spammy nonsense response to your OP.

To the latter question, I’ve seen devices that do OTP and FIDO in addition to basically storing arbitrary strings (e.g. your cc number).

I get harassment scolding me for using Lemmy to advertise when I mention any of the products by name, despite having no affiliation with any of them outside of being a user, but they’re not hard to find if you look.

I’m curious why your listed options are all software that runs on the internet as opposed to a piece of hardware that you connect to your devices.

Is that just because this is the self hosting community?

Why not a piece of hardware instead of self hosting, cloud hosting, etc?

“Is anyone else constantly getting logged out of slack?” - The last message I ever got from my favourite co-worker.

Seems like an appropriate place to share https://github.com/agarrharr/awesome-cli-apps

I’m a fan of ripgrep and lsd in particular.

Check out the fzf docs. It ships with helpers that offer better shell integration than you’re getting here.
