  • I transferred some files that would have taken windows about 5min, it only took 20sec.

    If we’re talking about storage devices, this may just be lots of caching, which in my opinion sucks for slow removable devices, because the transfer stays in background and you still can’t unplug the damn USB.
    Though there can also be some difference with filesystems. I can get pretty fast and stable RW with F2FS compared to exFAT on these devices.



  • I just did so for the first time today. Oddly, I didn’t feel any effects (aside from the needle puncture). I was really worried I’d feel terrible, or that I might even vomit (I asked what to do in such case beforehand), but thankfully nothing. (I mean, I am underweight, just OK enough for the limits)
    I only got a bit freaked out when I removed the bandage and it took my dumb ass a while to realize that the extra drop of fresh blood is too light (I probably peeled off the scab). Anyway, so I just put a band-aid over it. At least I didn’t have a white shirt.

    I am just disappointed that I got A+. I mean, this isn’t school, I hoped for 0-. 😕 Well, searching the internet, it seems it may be good for plasma or platelets, but I kinda fear the machine xD

    Anyway, the personnel was really nice, so that was quite helpful too.







  • Better question is what 4 letter words I can even remember. Let’s see…

    fuck, lock, cock, yiff, bear, fair, mare, fare, Mars, SARS, cars, arse, bars, tree, pine, mine, dime, fine, lime, blue, moon, soon, tone, moan, loan, lawn, down, fawn, leek, meme, joke, yolk, dick, lick, sick, tick, kick, ball, mall, fall, chip, ship, spin, meat, meet, porn, corn, horn, burn, role, play, star, trek, mono, long, song, dong, monk, duck, luck, suck, rack, deck, card, nano, pico, mini, cake, sake, lake, aqua, cyan, Arch, lore, vore, fart, dart, mart, sour, hour, four,…

    There’s probably a website for that, what am I doing. I’ll go with Mars Arch.

    Interesting how my brain picks the words.

    Edit: Removed duplicate word

    Edit 2: Remembered a better candidate





  • Just like 3 weeks ago I started using Tailscale. I’d highly recommend trying that.

    It does some uuuuh… magic to establish direct connections on most networks. You can verify whether you’re using direct connection or relay using tailscale status on Linux.

    It uses Wireguard under the hood. There’s also Tailnet lock feature (still in beta) in case you don’t trust Tailscale to not maliciously add devices to your Tailnet.

    This would give you lower latency than the VPS solution. I use it with CG-NAT on both sides. I also started using it for LAN since it establishes direct connection over LAN too, and seamlessly switches between networks so I can disconnect from LAN and keep current connections going over WAN or vice versa.

    But I’ve just tried now, and it won’t work even on LAN without internet access. Still better than a VPS solution in some way.

    But you may also try looking into headscale which is basically a lightweight self-hosted private Tailscale control server, but I haven’t tried anything with that.





  • I still do that sometimes.

    Well, I usually bring a cheap dumbphone in case of emergency, but I didn’t give the number to anyone, if it’s even turned on to begin with.

    I don’t always need it.

    Unfortunately, recently they added enormous fees for paper train tickets over here in Slovakia.
    €1 for one-way purchased in station
    €2 for two-way purchased in station
    €3 if purchased in train (this purchase was always something used in a case when tickets weren’t sold on departure station/stop, otherwise there is/was a €5 fine for that purchase)

    So you kind of need a phone, again.



  • It could be done with numbers rather than colors for all combinations. Would be easy to base it in binary and set bits for specific criteria, then represent it in decimal for easy recognition.
    Although, that would be a problem for recognition on first sight, so probably a stupid idea.

    Anyway, to make an example (with some random stuff to add more examples), let’s say it goes from most to least significant:

    • Hugging
    • Handshakes
    • High-fives
    • Fist bumps
    • Talking
    • Small talk only
    • Drinks alcohol
    • Prefers drinking water in all settings
    • Has dangerous food allergies
    • Has celiac disease
    • Lactose intolerant
    • Vegan
    • Vegetarian
    • Primarily a Windows user
    • Primarily a Linux user
    • Primarily a MacOS user
    • Primarily a *BSD user
    • Primarily other OS user

    Anyway, just for some random example.
    Following that, my mask would be 000110010000001000 (hugging being on the most significant side - left) making 25,608.

    Yeah, no. I did not simplify it at all…
    Maybe a yes/no-colored grid that you would wear?
