Those condenser kits are mostly bullshit. If you can’t vent outside get a heatpump dryer.
They’re expensive to buy, cheapest to run.

Anecdotal evidence, but there seems to be less or this kinda spam than before yea.

Being cool works the same way too.

This reads like ragebait or a hit piece, but I don’t even know what I’m supposed to rage about?

We all use some sort of automod bot to flag or even ban accounts.
We’ve all banned accounts for way less.

Am I supposed to be offended that this user, of all people, was banned from anywhere?
Or that an LLM summary is linked in the modlog for it? If an admin reviewed it, why should I care?

Am I supposed to get mad about political profiling?
/looks around to literally everywhere in the fediverse and gestures wildly.

My only gripe is it would maybe be more environmentally friendly to just skim that profile instead of using an LLM but whatever.
“Save the planet, ban people with the old ban hammer.”

IDK this whole thing feels like stirring shit for the sake of it. WTF is even the point of this post.

Vandalism may or may not get you in trouble, I’d do something that informs people first and foremost.
Maybe make some sort of infographic flyer:

Sodastream logo --$--> Israel flag --bombs--> Gaza rubble
                            \------bombs----> Lebanon rubble

Maybe a before/after shot of what they blow up.

People don’t have long attention spans. Get the point across that buying sodastream finances bombs against schools, hospitals.
After that, people who can’t see a problem with that are not gonna get convinced either way.

Confirmed. No clue what the fuck this is supposed to be.

Maybe… “there is no such thing as bad publicity” ?

It is itself hyperbole and it’s by no means absolute, but yea plenty of times where bad publicity is still publicity.

I’m a network sorcerer.
Wizards are more the book-type while I draw my networkink power from my bloodline.

Yea, I was referring to the OSI model.

I can’t know for sure if they kicked the bucket or not, but they aren’t around here anymore.

They seemed like a genuinely cool person and it makes me sad that they might be gone.

They’ve mentioned accepting and not fearing death, but also wanting to remain anonymous.
I won’t doxx them, alive or not, but know that it seems someone has since been taking care of what they considered to be their life’s work (their words).

May they remind y’all to cherish whatever time you do have.

So much baiting, the chat bot never had a chance.

A single misconfigured thing can suck real bad as you’ve seen.
Selfhosting involves lots of things that can be misconfigured or go bad.

That’s not to scare you out of it out anything, merely to congratulate you in seeking knowledge first.

Disclaimer: I’m biased towards networks because I’m a network engineer, opinions may differ.

I would say… having at least a vague grasp of layers 1-4 of the traditional network model is a decent start.
You don’t need to understand everything, but knowing a minimum will help a lot imho.

It’s hard to point you in the right direction without knowing what you already know or not.

Things aren’t that bad in my life, relatively speaking.

Just, I’m coming to terms with the fact that this workplace is shitty, and likely beyond repair.
Statu quo is a tough nut to crack though.
I could make a move, I might even have an opportunity lined up. Sure, there’s a few variables that I can’t account for, but whatever.

The real question is… is this really what I want?

Yes and these comments also show up on mastodon.

Don’t overthink it, have fun, bring good earplugs.
No seriously, there are plugs meant for shows, designed to not butcher it too much, merely attenuate it all a bit.
First, you’ll avoid tinnitus.
Second, it blocks out quite a bit of the other show-goers background noise.

I’ve not had good luck finding something that gives me the confidence to go about it

Now’s a good time to make sure you have good backups.
Knowing you can fallback to your backups helps a lot with confidence.

One this that’s really hard to replace is DDoS protection.

I leave my phone further away.
Close enough that I’ll hear it if there’s an actual emergency, but far enough that I won’t reach for it just because I’m bored.

That’s enough to take care of most of my mindless night scrolling.

If I just can’t fall asleep, sometimes I’ll go drift off in the hammock outside or something that’ll cool my body a bit.
Tbh, sometimes I just rub one out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also works as a decongestant.
I’m not a doctor, don’t use this as medical advice.
