I mean, your reaction was nothing but a physical response, so I wouldn't say so.
As long as you don't do it on purpose, no, not weird.

Because it was available for longer?
It takes a while to implement something. And it also took a while to basically standardize micro USB or mini USB as well. Remember when basically every phone manufacturer had their own connector? USB-C would for a while just break the norm again.

Ads. If done well, I may even see it. I am talking about the ad just being an embedded GIF with a href set on it so that clicking it goes to the advertiser's site. Simple privacy-respecting ads.
Example: https://lowendbox.com/
Look at the right and scroll down.

I too have no idea what this is about. I never used tailscale, and I have no idea what immich is.
But perhaps your problem is that the app expects to be on the root? Perhaps that could be a problem. Can you instead do another sub-domain level like immich.pcname.tail$$$$$.ts.net? Or does the app (immich) allow you to set URL root?
Anyway, seems that may indeed be the issue, and also that tailscale cannot do those sub-domains as I thought based on the discussion I found. It seems this is the same issue: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/1679
And someone probably has a solution: https://gist.github.com/aveexy/4b2b22b2198636b0a91c7c142ec11b37
Again, I have no idea what Immich even is in the first place, Tailscale, I just know it exists. Consider me about as useful as AI, I just did some googling, with only prior info being that I had to set base URL in both kiwix-serve and Navidrome for them to work properly under a directory or whatever the part after slash is called.

I rather meant how it sounds. It's in the "hundreds".
Two thousands.
Twenty hundreds.
"Early twenty hundreds" does kind of make it sound like we live in 2224 instead while "early two thousands" sounds like 2002.
I could have written it better.

Welp, I don't know when from the memory is, but I do vividly remember thinking about how damn old those 14/15 year old 9th graders are. Could be 1st grade.
Basically as if the life ended at 20, and they were soon to retire.

Just look at where their servers are.
Kind of... al around the place? What do you mean?
Also, in the mail you don't send the account number, just a payment token. So the postman won't be stealing your account, just your cash at most.
Vouchers are probably the safest, but I actually like sending mail, and this is basically my only opportunity to do so nowadays.

I am sure you still have same number of those more advanced users, but now far more people have access to computers because they are cheaper and easier to use. That may be about it.

Oh, I did once have a device without headphone jack, only with USB-C. But I don't want that experience again. Yet another dongle to carry around, shortening the USB port's lifespan with extra connects and disconnects, and most importantly, not being able to charge the phone or use OTG at once. For example I sometimes used my phone with welle.io to listen to DAB+ radio (or just general scanning around in SDR++), thus the USB port was occupied by RTL-SDR already.
I also gave Bluetooth earbuds a go. Definitely not suitable for FPS gaming, and having yet another battery...
Plus many of these phones have FM radio, which too is a bonus for me as I do use it.
I could give-in to no headphone jack if the device had 2 USB-C ports, like the ASUS ROG phone, except that one actually does have a headphone jack as well. Mmmmmmmm... 3 port smartphone.

I'd get a Fairphone if it had a headphone jack. Or a Pixel if it had one too, as well as a Micro SD card slot, then put Graphene OS on it. Altough my budget is fairly limited, and my previous phone broke, so it's basically a sub-optimal decision between these 2.
Coming from a Poco X3 Pro, either one feels like a downgrade. X6 Pro would be a powerhouse, one without headphone jack and SD card slot...

But it's clear from the movies. When you smash a monitor you disable the entire camera system and delete all the video archives.
You should have payed more attention.
Edit: It seems ``kiwix-serve`` once again supports splitted ZIM. So I may have a workaround for FAT32. As usual, I once again can't decide between something. I am deciding between Ulefone Armor 24 and Motorola G54 5G. I did get to play around with both, and I feel like that just made the decision harder. I first got the Ulefone. Finally some exciting smartphone, massive battery, thick, heavy, with IR night vision camera, strong light and FM radio that works without earphones as it has integrated antenna, and it has an IR blaster. I actually like it being that large and heavy (647g - 1.43lbs). It feels like a serious device. I always slap the thickest case I can find on a phone for this reason anyway. (Yes, I was also excited by Energizer P28K and earlier P18K). I immediately loved it, but unfortunately found it only supports FAT32 for SD card. As I also have Kiwix archives on it, I decided on returning it. It also had some more minor issues like headphone jack cover getting in the way and a mono speaker that is... present at most, and only supporting 4G. Then instead I ordered the Motorola, which I still posses. It's just safely in a box at home, I am not going to return an actually used device. It does support exFAT, it has great stereo speakers, camera with OIS, supports 5G and has eSIM functionality. BUT, after finally setting it up, I realized it has no support for 4K video playback. I didn't even realize I should check for that, just like support for exFAT, as even my 2 prior, cheaper devices supported both. SW decoder in VLC seems to work with 4K h.264, but HEVC is a no-go. Can't blame it though, my i5-8365U powered ThinkPad can't handle 4K HEVC either. The 3 button navigation also dies when I set minimum width to >= 600dp. Both support band-locking which I want too. The Ulefone's Helio G96 may or may not support 4K. Even info from MediaTek itself is conflicting between 2K and 4K max. I wanted to test it with a displayed device in that shop, but was told they aren't allowed to put anything into display pieces, and to just order it again like I did, and then return it possibly. I don't know what I could put up with better. 4GB file size limit or no 4K video. ~~Workaround for the former would be putting .zim files onto internal storage, effectively halving it,~~ and passing Termux backups through ``split`` and ``cat``. Workaround for the latter is... I guess there isn't. There will always be that functionality loss. Only 4K@30fps H.264 can be passed to VLC. AV1 doesn't cut it either. That aside, 5G may be important soon, but for now my carrier only covers a few cities. eSIM is cool, too, as are stereo speakers. On the other hand, that Ulefone is just something else. A very unconventional smartphone, finally something else than a glass slab with different SoC, and the 3 button navigation doesn't break at high dp. Actually, it even improves, adding app icons and app tray. I hate gesture navigation. Also... maybe it sounds important, Ulefone is known to have shipped their phones with irremovable malware [in 2017](https://news.sophos.com/en-us/2018/10/02/the-price-of-a-cheap-mobile-phone-may-include-your-privacy/), ...and possibly [in 2020](https://community.sophos.com/sophos-mobile/f/discussions/122870/ulefone-malware-detected-in-pre-installed-calculator-app), also [detected by different user](https://support.avg.com/answers?id=9065p000000goAuAAI). I did scan the phone with Hypatia, and tried Calculator, FM radio and sound recorder APKs on VirusTotal too. Though I am not sure how much access Hypatia has, I know APK extractors didn't work for me. I had to use ADB.

Those screens are really just thin glass sandwiches.
And they're sharp too. When replacing a TV backlight I didn't think about using gloves when lifting the panel. Welp, it can cut the skin a bit. If it slipped as I held it, that would have been fun for sure...
Anyway, the correct course of action is probably suction cups. Especially with larger panels. And a second person too. This was just a 32 inch panel.
My phone died a few days ago, and the Cisco Duo app overwrote 2FA key backup after connecting my old phone to the internet. Lemmy has no backup codes, nor can you disable 2FA even while logged in without a valid token. Anyway, I noticed there's no rate limiting on 2FA attempts. So following [Lemmy API docs](https://lemmy.readme.io/reference/post_user-totp-update) I wrote this exceptionally stupid script (look at my foolish way of parallelization and no auto-stop). I got the JWT token from logged-in Firefox session, using [cookies.txt extension](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookies-txt/) to export it. Anyway, just make sure your password is secure enough, It's obviously (potentially) better than 6 digits, probably with 3 valid combinations at each time (current 30s, past 30s, future 30s windows), if I am guessing how it works right. My attempt also clearly involved a lot of luck with just 21,830 attempts (less than 5 minutes). But, if you're lucky enough, you may guess it on first attempt, or never if you aren't.
My phone with 2FA codes has died... again... for the 3rd time in something over 2 years (average Poco X3 Pro experience). I've used the Cisco Duo app, mainly for the convenience of automatic ***backups***. After all, this has saved me the last time my main phone died. Connect GDrive, download DB, enter passphrase to decrypt, there you go. I've turned on my still barely functioning 2017 Moto G5s Plus. There I had the Duo app. Upon opening it says something along the lines of "Device offline, showing on-device accounts only." How does that read to you? Auto-sync, I thought. I connected to the internet, refreshed the app, nothing. I go to settings, check the backup... horror! "Last backup: October 6th 12:06" I opened the app at 12:06. Why would you update the backup if it has more recent timestamp than current version? "Hmm... this phone last backed up in 2023, most recent backup on cloud is 2024, yep, OVERWRITE IT WITH 2023 VERSION!!" Hmm... this also means I've lost access to my Cisco NetAcad school account... Welp, lesson learned, switching to [Aegis](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.beemdevelopment.aegis/). Since disabling TOTP requires TOTP token, I have no way to disable it. I hope the instance admin can, but SDF has far more important shit to care about. ------------- I am thinking on getting something crazy like [Ulefone Armor 24](https://www.gsmarena.com/ulefone_armor_24-12602.php) brick. Though it lacks things like 5G, stereo speakers, and 4K video recording, but I can afford it and have it shipped tomorrow morning.
Just bought a pineapple for the first time. Checked a few videos and posts on internet to see how I am supposed to cut it up, everyone said to throw the core away or use it in a smoothie at best. Even my mom said to throw it away. Anyway, I tried to eat a small amount of it, and then ate the entire core. It's pretty edible, feels like throwing out pizza crust. Much more chewable than celeriac. Though I would label it as "Dental floss mandatory" type of food, but so is anything with poppy seeds. So how do you use it? Do you eat it, throw it out, something else?
They clearly show wear.  I am not sure if they were replaced from another older device, or the entire cover is from L390, but that one would have a plastic cover for where this one has a stylus. It doesn't seem like anything was snapped out of there. I couldn't find replacement ones online, and I am not sure if contacting the shop is a good idea. See, the L390 Yoga has a touchscreen with better colors and seems to be a bit more expensive (but not much). However, I bought this as "L390". I noticed the description said "Touchscreen: yes", which I realized meant they likely mistook the Yoga version for the base version. Indeed, that is the case. Currently they have one L390 Yoga in similar condition and same configuration, but the screen has some white spots (this one is flawless), ...and it's €46 more expensive. If you're curious, i5 8365U, 16GB RAM (single-channel), used 256GB Samsung SSD (I don't remember if SATA or NVME), €180 and 2 year warranty. Also, if you're wondering what that port with network symbol is, it appears to be a proprietary connector used on ThinkPads requiring an "Ethernet Extension" adapter to be usable.

Just from "a quick query" by the admin. >there'll be a better one later, this is just a quick query
Sorry, not sure if there's a more fitting community for discussions, but 196 doesn't have specific required content ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So, last Sunday I suddenly got high-pitched tinnitus, mostly in my left ear. I thought it would be gone when I wake up next day, but it was still there. Then on Tuesday and Wednesday I had some pain and pressure in both ears. Unfortunately, I'd need to get referred to ENT by my GP, and she was on vacation. The substitute was there for "acute cases only". So far this was just... quite annoying. I tested for possible changes I haven't noticed with frequency generator on my phone. With medium volume, both ears went to 19.5kHz just fine. Thursday it improved. Or so I thought. The tinnitus got quieter. Later during the day I went to check again. I started with 16kHz at lowest volume. Suddenly, I could only hear it on my right ear, so I started panicking. Left ear fell from 19.5kHz to 15.5kHz in just 1 day. This was a fairly sudden change, and I am not exactly emotionally strong. I panicked and was crying and hyperventilating for about an hour.  So I decided I'll go to the substitute doctor next day to get referred to ENT. I set up alarm for the morning, but I didn't need it. I was too anxious too sleep much anyway. ##### So I got to the ENT right that day. She visually inspected my ears and throat finding no signs of inflammation. Tympanometry OK. Audiogram just confirmed my feeling of right ear being muffled with slight low frequency hearing loss, but nothing for my left ear, primary source of my concern. I explained the loss occurred in higher frequencies than I heard during the test. I asked what frequency they tested up to as it sounded fairly low. "6kHz." Apparently, even 8kHz (worldwide standard) is considered "experimental" in my country... I hoped for possibility of EHF audiometry (9 - 20kHz). Back to talking with ENT, I said that I could hear up to 19.5kHz on both ears ereyesterday, yet yesterday I couldn't even hear 16kHz on my left ear. She re-assured me that we normally loose ability to hear these frequencies with age (I am 18). I further explained that my concern is rather the **sudden unilateral** loss as opposed to gradual bilateral loss over longer timespan as it could continue worsening further. She replied with "Hearing above 6kHz is not important to humans." I wanted to tell her to resample all her music to 12kHz, then tell me how useless it was, but I didn't want to be rude. At last, I asked "What about the tinnitus?" with response being "Nothing." So, she just prescribed me vitamins B1, B12 and some Ginko extract pills for increasing blood flow to ears for 1 month which I still had to pay €30 for even with insurance. Welp, I just apologized for bothering them (non-sarcastically) as they had more patients and left no less concerned. _____________ I am pretty worried about this. I've been careful with my ears. I don't listen to music loudly, I don't go to concerts, hell, I didn't even have to go to theatre with school the last time as my current class teacher noticed I wasn't exactly OK with being in a room with lots of people, especially with loud noise. I can only suspect some issue with inner ear, perhaps inflammation. That wouldn't even be noticeable with just visual examination. However, I suppose that would also be accompanied by dizziness and vertigo. So I have no idea what's going on. At least I distracted myself while typing this.
Image on left is from 4 days ago, but the pimple was slowly forming over around 2 weeks. The goop was sticky, not oily. Earphones are Panasonic RP-TCM130. I was not able to find an explanation. Something to increase cable lifespan, lubrication, rubber disintegrating, sweat and earwax that somehow got into the cable, dielectric grease, SCP-1407, no clear answer. At first I thought the wires just somehow twisted. Nope.
I used to think that age equated to percentage of life lived, thus I thought that most people live to close around 100. But it also made me think that people only get old when they're like 80. I mean like actually "old". The "old" adults were referring to. At that age I considered those 14/15 year old 9th graders old, just a bit different "old".
For some reason this happens to me, but only with Orbit. At least the watermelon ones (I prefer chewing gums that leave minimum taste), I don't know about others. It just turns into a disgusting paste.

OK, I hope my question doesn't get misunderstood, I can see how that could happen. Just a product of overthinking. Idea is that we can live fairly easily even with some diseases/disorders which could be-life threatening. Many of these are hereditary. Since modern medicine increases our survival capabilities, the "weaker" individuals can also survive and have offsprings that could potentially inherit these weaknesses, and as this continues it could perhaps leave nearly all people suffering from such conditions further into future. Does that sound like a realistic scenario? (Assuming we don't destroy ourselves along with the environment first...)
