  • gmail you can forward all mail to another account.
  • Youtube, you could try following your subscriptions via RSS/ATOM feed reader. It's honestly just like regular YT but without the recommendation engine.

Fair. I just learned about and like PeerTube so far (activitypub federated video hosting), but it's has even more infantile adoption than Lemmy does. I don't know that anyone I follow on youtube posts there, and if they do I don't know how to find them.

I think the panic around analog clocks comes from the scenario where you have to explain what clockwise and counterclockwise is. I have personally seen someone eventually removed from a workgroup because they couldn't understand it.

Not that analog clocks matter, but that was an easy way to teach direction in cylindrical coordinates. What can we use now for that?

Ooo like higher powered rfid tags! The info could even then be relayed to the driver via the on screen display since theyre now all required.

Many kinds yes, idk enough to say all. Docs take a sample of the cancer DNA, turn that into an mRNA vaccine, inject it into you, and your immune system precisely destroys the cancer.

It seems interesting for many cancers, and lifesaving for already metastasized cancers.

Only downside will be lifelong wage garnishment to The Company.

It at least used to be adaptive because at one point it went to 500$ for me, then changed back down a couple months later.

For privacy.com:

  • great for anyone in the USA
  • don’t worry about difficult subscription cancellations again, just turn that one’s dedicated card off
  • I have personally blown past the daily spend limit of 250$ without issue, idk if that limit is real. The 1000$/mo may be though I've never hit that.
  • I’ve used privacy.com for everything from Amazon to car insurance to gym memberships.

On credit freezes:

  • a freeze means that your consumer report will not be shared, which means applications for credit in your name will be denied
  • all USA consumer reporting agencies (data brokers) are legally required to freeze sharing of your reports for free upon your request
  • you can temporarily unfreeze when you get a new credit card, apply for rental property, etc.
  • don’t let them upsell it or try to direct you to another page with similar language, it is free
  • credit monitoring products need to request your report to see if any new accounts have opened. Don’t monitor it, prevent it by freezing the reports
  • freezes are required for any data broker, not just credit. This includes LexisNexis (job history), and presumably the ones that do rental and vehicle ownership history though i don’t know their names.

My favorite was the password set screen allowing up to 64 characters, but login fails if the password is over 32 chars.

Ok, that's what I'll do. Thanks so much for the info! 😁

 

I'd like to store/seed important data (wikipedia, gutenberg, etc.), and read recently that it would be a good idea to store torrent files long-term. My questions are:

  1. Is it better to store torrent files or magnet links?
  2. Will a given magnet link retrieve the exact same .torrent file every initiation?
  3. Is storage of these files/links a good idea (especially if I have the files)?

This question is really about whether magnet links or torrent files are better to store long term, with a sanity check that this is something that should be done.

I've read these two StackExchange posts which were very helpful, and am looking to get more technical opinions and info:

You can translate those QR codes into the base seeds that were used to generate them. Then you can just save a text file with all those seeds. I've done it using a phone camera to open to a web browser and extracting the seed from the translated URL, but IDK if it can still be tricked into opening the code that way.

I hope this unasked for advice helps.

Most just don’t know how to properly file their W-4 to not have taxes withheld in the first place.

How do you do this? How do you calculate what to personally withhold and pay? Is it simply calculating through the income tax?
