Very true.

I generally just use my ceramic bladed hair cutter on 0 when I’m not required to have a clean, clean shave, and then like I say above just use a BIC when I need a baby’s bum face for work etc.

The twin / triple blades I find can be off-putting to some since if you have too much growth they latch on and snag.

Yeah, we’ve got something I recall being called the P-laws or something brought in, meaning all new sockets need to be a certain height above floor level.

I’ve seen many rented houses here that still have them on the floor since older builds ain’t required to rectify them. Scary if you see all the recent flooding we’ve been having in some parts of the country :/

But those three pin / fused BS 1363 whilst been one of the safest sockets you can get, I can confirm they’re an absolute bastard if you stand on one.

Personally, I never learned how to use a razor

🤔

Alright. Ima be ur daddy and tell you have to shave in 3 minutes flat.

• Acquire some BIC single blade razors

• Head to shower, put it on steaming hot and apply steaming hot water to face. Getting a hot towel after getting out of the shower and leaving it on your face for a while makes a tough shave even moar comfortable.

• Lather shaving foam all over face

• Run BIC razor under cold running water and shave until your face is like a baby’s bum

• Rinse thoroughly with cold water to remove all lather

As a Britbong, I’m always proud of not only BS1363 and the safety it has brung us over the years but the fact that I know that number off the top of my head.

I usually have a goldfish memory for things like that.

I wonder if what you could do is look into a Stingray device and plonk that in your car to make it to connect to that instead of local cell towers?

edit: whoa, I just looked at the prices of them. Surely there’s something a clever Trevor could put together here…

edit II: As someone else mentioned, Femtocells.

I’ve always wondered about buying one years ago but they seem like a rarity here these days. Also, manipulating that data / telemetry to show you in Antarctica has got to be on someone’s fun list?

Nah.

USB is slow, and will kill the drive if used 24/7. I know it’s hard to expend too much money on a dedicated box for storage but long term you’ll thank yourself for investing.

3TB of data I lost and paying to recover that data? Dammit, hindsight is a bitch

Says on the product page that that Beelink supports a maximum 2TB SSD, so I wouldn’t go buying another unless you’re sure it can.

As others have said, no USB drives as I’ve had a failure with one too hence me now having a NAS. I know you said you’re allergic to spending money but saving up for one was the best thing I’ve bought for a while.

Fraid not.

I recall worrying about MAC address tracking one time and using Chainfire’s MAC privacy app, but that’s a non factor now since they’re randomised by default on Android on the most recent versions.

You know, I’d 99% of the time agree with you but has anyone else tried out the little (travel?) routers from GL-iNet?

Their default router interface ain’t half bad at all, and if you do need to use Luci you can simply do that too

I bought a couple of them for a family member and they haven’t poked me once for help with them.

Main thing is Capt, you’re here to tell us your best stories.

Tell us your most favourite food please, and how you came across it? Mine’s carbonara and an Italian girlfriend who loved that shit.

Ya know, it is kinda ironic these days with the great views 1 mile each way and the cheaper prices compared to the rest of our homeland :p

Obligatory

I’m a lad from Bradford, in the UK.

And it kinda rhymes.

I’d posit those numbers are much, much higher, and some guys who used to do our Megathreads over in r/Android now keep getting random bots commenting against months, even posts - https://archive.is/OmW0f

I spotted em years ago over in their many test subreddits and reddit actually outsourced them as a QA testing.

I had to leave VirginMoney because the lady on the phone told me I needed an iPhone to reset my password (seriously) even after trying with three separate Android devices.

There’s no desktop functionality (mobile is king with them) and it amazed me that day I had to use the Current Account Switcher to go to an equally meh banking service.

Sorry state of affairs across all mobile apps to be honest and as seen by the prevalence of MDM and accessing data Vs doing the very same, on a desktop “PC”. Why the data is more precious on a mobile device to them is telling…

Having a Rasp Pi 3/4 with Tailscale installed made it idiot proof for me.

Hell, I gave a spare pi to a family member which means I have off site storage and also get to VPN straight into their network to help them out (they technophobes and have no idea what’s happening). If I can do it, you can.

I simply use Tailscale and a family members router / AP which take SDcards to have a backup of my onsite backup, off site.

And then use Mega + Proton drive for backing up the really important things so things are in three (four if you include my phones photo storage) separate places.

Never again am I falling to disks failing, and paying so much to the cloud peeps kinda irks me especially when they can just shut up shop like UbuntuOne did.

Starting with version 0.19.0 voting also counts as being active.

aka, the lurkers 👀

I’ve always upvoted both posts that are on topic to the community and always to people who take the time out of their day to reply.

It’s like common courtesy to me and votes are like free confetti anyways.

So I suppose the OP’s figures are, off.

I for one don’t find young people to be attractive

I’m curious where this statement came from since I don’t see any context other than you trying to call the OP names?

Could you expand please?

Exactly, and the way it work(ed) on reddit was a non-plus from the start, especially if you modded moderately large subs hence me never blocking anyone other than those annoying accounts.

The art of ignoring is key ;)

but I have nothing against the users.

Absolutely, and in 12+ years of using reddit the only accounts funnily enough I’ve had to block are admin accounts, and I liken the above to users from other subreddits being able to able to interact in other subs until they either

• get banned by the sub /c/ mods

• individual users using the block function

Tarring users from instances is like using that SaferBot bullshit which I’ve never liked.
