Hope he can make it to at least a million steps to bring down his per step cost below 10 cents.

371k steps over 10 years is like 100 steps per day. Is it really slow, or did he only use it once a week?

I hope you realize personal injury lawyers work for rich people too. Those settlements drive up insurance costs for everybody. I think that’s a pretty bad example of decent people making money.

Livestreams are Fair Use in the US because of the gamers reaction and commentary.

Ideally it would be set up in Lemmy so that a post could remain but the author can be detached from it, and all comments.

Every election there are tens of thousands of new young voters, voting for the first time! And every election there are tens of thousands who voted last time but are now dead. Let’s write an article about it.

Too unique for a name database. Just change your last name to Nguyen or Chan. Throw off the scent.

You should probably just assume that your genetic information is already or will be out there at some point. If you want to protect against how it could be used against you, my suggestion would be to change your last name from a genetically-based one to one chosen by you. It isn’t foolproof since the name change is public record, but it creates a firewall that makes it harder.

BaconBits was a Reddit tracker with a maximum user count around 6000. They eventually closed because most of the users could get the same content from other trackers, with better choices about bitrate or codec, or better seeding. I’m not convinced Lemmy has enough users to support a private tracker, I think you need like 20k active users to be worthwhile.

But you can’t control what your family does.

She can get sponsorships. Also keep in mind this isn’t a men/women’s record. She’s the fastest human to do this, ever. She beat previous record of a Belgian man by less than a day.

Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony. I wish they defined this as any non-transferable software license. If you can’t re-sell it, you don’t own it.

 

70% of those almonds are exported. But you should take a pathetic dribble of a shower.

For those who don’t know, the flow restriction plug can be removed from most shower heads. But you didn’t hear it from me.

 

When I go to iknowwhatyoudownload.com, a bunch of stuff shows up for my IP that’s definitely not being downloaded by anyone in my house (foreign language torrents). Aside from that my router (AT&T Arris BGW210) needs to be restarted about once a week, due to some kind of dhcp issue. The most recent event seemed bad - none of my devices had internet, they could all talk to each other, and my ONT activity light was flickering steadily. During this time I had no access to the router, even plugged in directly to LAN. Fixed by a restart but no idea what was going on.

The DHT torrent thing has been happening for months and the router thing could just be that AT&T sucks. I have no other evidence that something is wrong.

I could buy a firewall and put it downstream of the AT&T equipment.

I could switch internet providers, get a new IP address and router, and see if that fixes it.

Should I try to figure out what’s going on or just keep restarting the router once a week and ignore the DHT hits from my static IP?

 

A really expensive internet connected globe. Like most globes it would have its axis on a tilt. Except this one would also show a live view of day/night, and also the clouds from satellite imagery. When you touch the base you can scrub back and forward though the past 24 hours of images.
