Instead of connecting via your external IP, consider setting up DDNS (Dynamic DNS). Most routers support it out of the box, it’s free (using a DDNS service like DuckDNS) and easy to set up. Once working you’ll connect via a static URL rather than an IP and when your external IP address changes, that URL will update automatically within a few minutes and direct you to the new IP.
Ohio voters have voted for a Republican trifecta 21 of the last 25 years and Republicans have no problem at all allowing the general population to be poisoned. If there’s money involved they’d be all for it.
Ohioans are having the day they voted for and they deserve it.
Calibre’s ereader is quite good.
It seems to vary depending on where you live. In SoCal I haven’t noticed many Audi and Altima drivers causing issues, but late model Camry drivers can be aggressive as hell. Camry drivers use to be the most relaxed, sedate drivers around but no more.
Around here BMW’s aren’t nearly as bad as black pickups.
I’ve been looking at car ads and noticed black cars are listed as salvaged much more often than other colors. Yes, there are a lot of black cars on the road, but it didn’t seem to be nearly enough to explain the number of salvaged vehicles being advertised.
At least one study confirms that black cars do have more accidents, and far more accidents at dusk.
Unless you live in a really unusual area, 55+ housing doesn’t really have much of an affect on area housing prices. It sells for less so other things being equal developers have less of an incentive to build it over regular housing. People also sell their old homes and move into 55+ housing, making homes more suitable for families available.
Housing prices in general went insane during COVID and (at least in my area) the prices have not come down. Could the prices you’re seeing on standard housing still be due to the COVID run up?
Is it a problem that the 55+ housing lowers prices of other housing in the area, or that seniors are selling their old homes and actually keeping the money from the sale?
I use Startpage but haven’t found a replacement for Google Maps that functions nearly as well. Once Google decides my residential IP is in another country the Maps interface language changes. Google also sells IP geolocation info some companies use and those website often behave the same way.
I’ll make sure to give your opinion all the consideration it deserves, professor.
My comment clearly (but apparently not clearly enough) referenced the fact that American producers are dealing with the add on effect that the Canadian boycott is having. I read the article, you failed to read my comment.
You may not think it’s related, but math and the bottom lines of American producers would disagree.
I’m sure the fact the Canadians have stopped buying American products costing producers $500+ million per year hasn’t been so good for them either.
Not a full reinstall solution, but aptik is one of the only utilities I’ve found useful enough to pay for. Last time I reinstalled it saved me many hours of configuring.
A while back Amazon started requiring logins to view or search product reviews. (They show a very limited number without login.)
Anyone who’s ever looked through Amazon reviews knows a huge number of them (and sometime the majority) are bullshit, but apparently that’s just fine with Amazon. They were able to completely shut down sites like fakespot.com with that one move so buyers are now on their own.
hacking
a cough - harsh, dry, and spasmodic
Was in a Trader Joe’s and this woman was practically shouting into her phone. Even worse, she had it on speaker and the woman on the other end was shouting back. Bad enough in the same isle, but then she walked up right next to me and they continued shouting into my ear. Well, if you’re going to be that rude…
I looked at her and began hacking as loud as could which is really loud. When I paused the shouting resumed so I started hacking again. The look on her face when she shouted, “Ewwww!” and backed away was priceless.
Perhaps not one of my finest moments, but one I will always treasure anyway.
You left out DDNS. It’s free, easy to set up with lots of detailed guides online, and works as well as a static IP.
You can also run it on your Linux box and check external IP via web page. Sites like https://myip.wtf/text provide it in plain text that can easily be used without accessing your router’s UI.
