Checks out with mine. There are a bunch of nice people who genuinely try to spread the whole love thy neighbour thing, and there are a bunch of weirdos who like being part of the “better” group.

Yeah, drilling a hole in there should stop anyone this side of a dedicated lab from reading your data.

Skinning hookers in their basements, plotting the violent takeover of the government, woodworking, climbing, just the usual boy stuff, you know?

Jokes aside, “things that a large percentage of the population looks at and says, hey, that is a cool hobby”. How is that for a definition?

Meiner ist eher so: ich schau online, ein HDMI-Kabel kostet plusminus 15€. Ich geh in den Saturn, es gibt nur noch die ultra-mega-gold-pro-elite HDMI kabel für 40€. Ich finde nach 15 Minuten Suche noch eins für 25€ ganz unten, kauf das zähneknirschend und geh schlecht gelaunt wieder.

Alright, anedotical evidence time! I am aware I am in a bit of a bubble, as I try to avoid the local variant of maga as much as possible in my life.

But I know several single male friends who I would say are at least of average attractiveness, smart, funny, know how to use a shower and a toothbrush, have decent education/money, cool hobbies and are politically progressive. Also I know of at least three of them who are deeply unhappy about not getting into a meaningful relationship.

Sometimes people are just stuck in a life situation or a place with not many compatible options and ways to meet people.

Man, I feel you. I am genuinely jealous of people who can walk in a room and be friends with everyone in a few minutes.

That is certainly part of the problem, but I know plenty of guys with decent money who are quite unhappy with their lack of relationships

The market for low end SoCs and embedded is highly competitive, with lots of Chinese companies like Allwinner and established niche leaders like Renesas or NXP. No way an outsider is going to beat them on price or features out of the blue.

Intel only has a chance to stay afloat in the high-ish end sector, whether they like it or not.

Huh? Can you explain more? I’ve self-hosted for a few years now, I set up the config once, made a cronjob that updates every now and then, and it just works on a reasonably fast server.

1. Do something cool: work on your car, do sports, go to a party, go on a hike…

2. Have a friend with you and tell them beforehand that you want them to take some pictures of you now and then.

3. Enjoy your activity with your friend

4. ???

5. Profit

All of history was a shitshow. There was not one century this side of the invention of agriculture where we didn’t commit war crimes. Hell, it took us thousands of years to come up with the idea of war crimes, the very idea that killing and enslaving everyone and salting their earth might not be super cool.

We suck, but it has worked out so far. Humanity is like cockroaches. We’ll manage. Badly, suffering, but we’ll manage.

I guess we need to try. Any volunteers?

Remember, the door must be fully closed :)

What even are crystal dommes? Like leather dommes, but kitted out for an 80s party at the disco?

Many microwaves suck as faraday cages, because they are made to be an effective cage only for a very specific frequency (the one the microwave runs at). Unfortunately, mobile radio frequencies are all over the place, for historic, technical, competition etc. reasons. So it is not a good Faraday cage, unless you want to only block out a specific radio (usually, 2.4 GHz Wifi and Bluetooth should be blocked).

You can build a good, vhf to multi-gigahertz frequencies cage by using a metal box and covering all the gaps, cracks etc. in tinfoil or copper tape. Bonus points for grounding. I made a decent one (for some unrelated radio experiments) out of a metal box and a tin foil seal, -60 dB at 2.4 GHz and no reason why it wouldn’t work at other frequencies.

Jo, dann passen wir die doch an. Sollten wir eh bei Freigrenzen generell machen.

I feel like they are more treating the symptoms, they do not catch all the flies, so it only helps a bit by thinning their numbers. I have a Sarracenia plant that seems to be thriving, so at least some of the gnats were “recycled”

I have to remember that. I tried some nematodes that were supposed to eat the larvae, but it did not seem to work, even after a few weeks. The neem oil was mostly just for (against) plant lice, which it turned out to be doing jack shit to. But hey, the flies are gone, and the lice were contained by getting rid of the one plant that had the lice.

Wie gesagt, ich hab keine Ahnung. Aus idealistischer Sicht finde ich das Konzept Vermögenssteuer erst mal recht sympathisch. Aber mir ist schon klar, dass das nicht so einfach geht.

Eine hohe Grundsteuer hat ja auch Nachteile, das klassische Beispiel von alten Menschen im Eigenheim, die sich mit knapper Rente die Steuern nicht wirklich leisten können zB.

Guter Punkt. Keine Ahnung, ob ich das mehr oder weniger fair finde. Auf der einen Seite ist es wahrscheinlich besser, wenn mehr Menschen Immobilien haben, auf der anderen Seite sind Immobilien deutlich konkreter für zB eine Stadt wichtig als jemand mit 100 Bitcoins.
