Tar and feather

I see what you did there

Also bad is that hair dryers don’t spread their heat around very well at all. You can easily create hotspots on the object and damage things with them.

I agree, unfortunately. The only reason I stick with ddg over Google is because, unlike Google, they don’t smother me with captchas the moment I enter a VPN.

The usual answer to that is “active directory”. It’s not uncommon to have one windows server alongside other Linux servers because of AD.

We’re all heat engines on this blessed day if you broaden the definition enough.

Yeah but those heat engines don’t rely on spinning things inside a magnetic field. Heat on one side, less heat on the other side, and you have current. No motors.

Dolphins are very rapey. Bunch of males sometimes get together and gang-rape a female for hours.

Who? Who needs to be able to plug 2 headphones into their phones?

Because that’s physically impossible for tons of people. CGNATs are very common.

Well nothing is impossible, but it does complicate things very much. Certainly outside “just run a container and call it a day” territory.

Have they given an explanation as to why that is? I mean why make it a fatal error that prevents compilation, when you could make it a warning and have the compiler simply skip it?

That’s… a rather huge drawback. Why even pay for a shield at that point?

Doesn’t explain why we don’t use them to sanitize rooms while we’re not in them.

What does explain it is that UV also damages stuff too. You use it to sanitize your living room, and soon the fabric on your couches will start losing their color. The paint on your walls will start flaking off. The plastic frames of the frames on the wall will start crumbling away or turning sticky. Nobody wants that in their house.

Home assistant usually doesn’t work as a backend for smart appliances like that, just as a frontend that connects to the same stuff that your smartphone app connects to. It communicates with the appliance through the original cloud service, so you can’t take it entirely offline.

? How would that even work? Does openwrt have a feature where it can hack into the ISP’s infrastructure and modify their QoS settings?

DDNS won’t save you from your ISP sticking your modem behind a cgnat and blocking critical ports. Which is not an uncommon scenario at all.

There are ways around it, but it’s still not very straightforward. Also often with some significant limitations.

I also find ORMs and query builders much easier to debug than most mative SQL database queries. Mostly because native SQL error messages tend to be some of the most unhelpful, most undescriptive crap out there, and ORMs help a bit with that.

Seriously, fuck MySQL error messages. 9 times out of 10 shit boils down to “you got some sort of error somewhere roughly over there, go fix”.

I ran into that same DNS issue with pi-hole but in a docker container, and the (bandaid) solution was to put the container in host network mode too. But turns out it’s not an issue but a feature. By default pi-hole only responds to DNS queries from within its local network. The host machine’s LAN is an external network to the containers, unless you set the container’s network mode to host. Pi-hole does have a setting to make it respond to DNS queries from other networks as well, though. What I’m saying is, that might not have been a podman issue.

Pspsps is essential. It draws the cat’s attention to you. Then you extend a hand and look at how the cat’s reacting to it. You can tell with great accuracy how interested the cat is in being pet by you, just by watching that. Works great for me. And believe me, as a resident of İstanbul for more than two decades, I have considerable experience with stray cats. I have honed my stray cat petting skills by going out of my way to interact with most of the cats I see on the streets, which is of course a rather large number of cats because İstanbul.

And is hilariously overkill for what OP seems to want. It’s a pretty large and heavy package that comes with a whole lot of (for OP unnecessary) features.

Steam offers rather valuable services to the developer in exchange for that fee though. You get to use Steam’s existing infrastructure for content delivery, payment processing, advertising, community management, authentication (not necessarily DRM), multiplayer services, etc. instead of having to implement and maintain it all on your own. Self-publishing is not easy nor is it cheap.
