You wouldn’t happen to be from Ohio?

If you’re hosting a basic web 1.0 website you’re gonna be pretty safe. Just install Apache and call it a day. As long as there’s no exploits in apache and you only port forward for basic HTTP theres very little to go wrong. Plus realistically, whos gonna want to hack your site?

I do the same thing, but with gmail tags.

fuckwit+lemmy@gmail.com

Now if I get a spam email to that address I’ll know exactly what to block.

Self host isn’t that bad. Say you have a raspberry pi. Install linux on the pi (basically the only thing to do with it), then google how to set up a LAMP server (Linux, Apache, Mysql, Php/python). Once you’ve followed all the steps they list then now you have a web server. To get it out on the internet log into your router and port forward for HTTP and now anyone can see that glorious Apache default web page.

Then for a domain just find the first domain register and buy the domain from them. Once you own a domain point it towards your IP address (just google what is my IP) and you’re set.

Your web page is now on the internet and anyone can type a nice name to get to your page. Anyone can also use any exploits then find so you have to make sure you’re keeping up updating your devices. And every port you forward is an intrusion point into your network should someone want to hack you.

Yeah I wana know what kind of hosts they found Jesus.

so I guess it’s not a conspiracy.

It’s not a theory* it is a conspiracy.

There’s only one windows desktop enviroment, window manager, etc. Same for Mac OS.

With Linux damn near everything can change depending on your distro of choice. There’s no one “linux” that you install. Linux is just the kernal and everything is piled on top of to make the entire OS.

CNN heavily censors what they show online. They don’t show an actual beheading, they’ll show a few minutes before it happens with faces blurred, but thats about it. But did you never really randomly get sent some fucked up videos? No 2 girls 1 cup, 1 guy 1 jar, meatspin etc? Kids don’t want to see it, but they’ll accidentally see it.

Honestly what I hate the most about the video is that 3rd places only briefly get a mention. But at the same time it makes sense since the video is about advertising to tweens and not just overall their mental wellbeing. It just happens to touch on the topic pretty well.

The parents lie or the kids lie?

When I was 12 I didn’t ask my parents for permission to create an account. I just did it and lied about my age.

It also exposes children to war, murder, and other atrocities that someone that young shouldn’t be exposed to and will have serious long term mental health affects.

IMO this video touches on this incredibly well and is well worth it. https://youtu.be/hYWoNlMHd2k

Are the ECUs actually remanufactered, or did they just pull them out of a dead truck, wipe them off, and call it a day?

I know the Ranger from that era has the classic leaky caps that kills it’s ECUs. You can easily buy a $20 soldering iron from harbor freight and $5 worth of caps and fix yours if it’s the same problem.

Apple was popular in academia even before Mac OS.

The Apple II was gaining a lot of popularity with colleges before the Mac even came out. And by the time System 7 was renamed to Mac OS 7 in the mid 90s Apple had gone HARD on getting Macs (and until the 90s Apple IIs) into all schools levels.

What’s the point in buying good sunglasses, and why would I lose a pair?

You like your vision.

You take them most places with you so you have a much higher chance of losing them.

You can, but assholes out there won’t.

Like most things, the media likes to overhype things and create a moral panic so they can get their views.

A lot of things have changed in 40 years, I wouldn’t rely solely on those books.

Ex: the approach to airflow/insulation. Previously we tried to make our houses as sealed up as possible for energy savings. Well we kinda learned that fresh air is actually needed so build 90% of the house as leak proof as possible, then the last 10% is designed to let in fresh air while trying to maintain the hot/cold air temperature.

It’s at least the same inconsistent toolset as everyone else. Windows 10? Ok go through this multi step process. 11? Ok this other slightly different process.

VS Linux you have 700 consistent toolsets, and 70000000 inconsistent toolsets.

Chromebooks never really made sense outside of schools and old people.

The OS is hyper limited to essentially just a web browser, and android apps (so just a web browser). Nobody wants to buy premium hardware to use with just Chrome. But at the same time it’s Chrome, so you really need at least a good chunk of RAM. So it really just limits you to the super light use cases, but those could realistically be replaced by a tablet.

The other day we saw an extremely odd device at malwart. They had a $270 laptop/tablet hybrid thing with a fairly nice OLED display, and a snapdragon CPU that should have been more that sufficient. But 128gb of EMMC storage, and 4 gigs of ram. Such wasted potential. It would make a nice RDP machine I guess.

Why the fuck would someone compare a shitass lawn mower to performance road hardware?

Because I didn’t feel like making that comment a copy paste of my other comment.

CO2 is only a small part of the story

https://www.latimes.com/archives/blogs/greenspace/story/2011-09-28/mythbusters-asks-are-motorcycles-greener-than-cars

the motorcycle used 28% less fuel than the comparable decade car and emitted 30% fewer carbon dioxide emissions, but it emitted 416% more hydrocarbons, 3,220% more oxides of nitrogen and 8,065% more carbon monoxide.

So yeah. Not exactly great. And btw our option on those hydrocarbons have changed a LOT in the last 13 years when this was published. See the decline of diesels post dieselgate.

… Did you even click your link? They didn’t even mention CO2.

Greenhouse gasses are the primary issue. The waste heat you produce with a car is nothing compared to what the sun is pelting us with. It’s the greenhouse gasses that trap in the heat from the sun (and your engine). Even bothering to mention it is hilarious.

I had to look it up because it’s not even something I bothered to consider. According to this calculator my car produces about 404,000/4.04 x 10^5 watt hours of heat going through 15 gallons/56 liters of gas. The solar constant aka energy entering our atmosphere is just over 1360 watts per square meter. In that same 6 hours the sun is gracing us with 8100 watt hours of energy, and in total 1.041 × 10^18. Or hell the energy just getting to the ground near me averages out to over 5kwh a square meter over a 24 hour period. Unless I’m road tripping my car absorbs more energy than its engine outputs in a given day.

Engine waste heat is nothing.

Also that’s just looking at global warming related things, there’s also there’s NOX and it’s extremely harmful to human health. Euro 5 standard rates both bikes and cars at 0.060 g/km. Cars obviously need a lot more oomf to get going, yet they still have the same maximum output.

Have you done your own moto maintenance? What bikes have you got?

It’s been a few years since I’ve owned a bike (mostly dirtbikes but some street). My last bike was a ~2011 Ninja 650. But I’ve worked on them since I was a kid up until maybe 5 years ago? I do however do all of the maintenance on all of my ICE (cars, mowers, scooter thing etc), and what I do care about is the emissions and their effects.

Emissions systems. Do you realize just how toxic something without a catalytic converter is? Let alone one that doesn’t work for shit like the types installed on bikes.

Also a car is probably FAR more efficient at burning fuel than a bike. The efficient burn lets out even less toxic gasses despite using 3x the fuel.

Take the totally emissions free lawn mower market and scale down emissions a bit since bikes do have some emissions equipment and electronic fuel injection. But they really don’t have much, and they’re very often just removed/bypassed.
