If you are treating your paying customers worse than someone you perceive as stealing from you, you are doing something seriously wrong.

Thanks for the lemonade, kind stranger!

But the only way it would actually get there depends on you, and your willingness to ignore data. :)

Same here. I occasionally try other clients, but qB is the one I always end up going back to, mostly because it automagically blocks hosts that send garbage.

But what happens when you forget it?

It would be very easy to increase that to 100%, if you're prepared to ignore enough data...

Oh no. I won't be part of The Zuck's EEE plan. How terrible. /sarcasm

According to the National Safety Council there are "too few deaths to calculate odds". (source). So, I'm pretty sure we can call the probability of two extremely-rare events happening independently in succession as near to nothing as makes no odds.

Also, modern combined units (sometimes called CVDRs) are built to withstand multiple impacts, and their storage medium is solid state. It is highly likely that, in the event of this near-impossible scenario, the recorder could be recovered again.

Thanks for your message though I'm a little confused, what more is there to say?

I know I'm not the target of this question but I can't imagine tipping a hairdresser.

Defederation = the defederating server refuses to talk to the other server.

Imagine Hotmail and Gmail. Hotmail decides to defederate from Gmail. Going forward, any Gmail user trying to send mail to Hotmail will simply be ignored, and Hotmail will ignore any email bound for Gmail.

 

Anyone want anything?

Hi, I'm Cevilia, or Cev, or Lia, or "Oi You!". You may use she, they, or any pronoun to refer to me.

I’m from the UK. I'm 38 and becoming less certain of my gender with each passing day.

I enjoy gaming, chatting, hanging out, and finding out I'm wrong - after all, it's the best way to learn new things! :)

 

Seeing as Wednesday seems to be literal piracy day around here, here's a couple of classic videos on how to be a pirate.

TIL about "flag disposal boxes" (content.govdelivery.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

They're rubbish bins (or perhaps textile recycling bins, but probably not) specifically for national, regional, and/or local flags.

Edited to clarify: No judgment, I am not making a political or societal argument, just posting about a thing I learned exists. If this post gets hijacked I'll ask the mods to lock it.

YSK the #SignalForHelp (www.domesticshelters.org)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

What it is: Someone shows you the palm of their hand with their thumb conspicuously tucked across it, then closes their fingers around their thumb, in a video call or in real life.

Why YSK: If a person uses the signal for help, they are telling you that they need help, and they can't directly ask for it. Do not acknowledge the signal. When you can, contact them in a way that you're less likely to be overheard such as text or email, and try to find out what they need. Asking yes-no questions will further reduce the risk to them. A good first question would be "Are you in danger right now?" followed by "Do you need the emergency services?"

Well, maybe "we" don't, but I would like one. We have Friendface for Facebook, Birdsite* for Twitter, what can we call Reddit?

Edit: Snoosite seems to be the leader at the moment. Kanamit also seems like a good pick.

*among others. My personal favourite is Daddy Elon's Hellscape.

 

Why YSK: If you leave your windows in the wrong state by accident, you don't need to get back into your car. If you've got out of your car and forgotten to close your windows, you can close them while you lock the car. If your car is hot, you can open your windows and let it cool a little without having to get inside. If you absent-mindedly close your windows on a hot day and leave a pet unattended inside, you can roll down your windows much quicker than having to rush over to your car and fumble with the buttons.

To do this: On some cars, you press-and-hold the lock/unlock button. On others, you press the lock/unlock button twice, or press then press-and-hold. Check your car's manual or google it on whichever your favourite search engine is.
