If you are just self hosting for your own use, just stick with letsencrypt or self signed certificates.

The paid certificates are for businesses where the users need to trust the certificate. They usually come with warranties and identity verification, which is important if you are accepting payments through your website, but it's just a waste of money for personal use.

The music can be copied to new hard drives without any loss in quality, so why are they leaving their only copy on 30 year old hard drives?

It means the same thing. I would have just drawn a line since they are right next to each other.

There should be a capacitor between REGN and ground and BAT and ground.

My GOG games run great on wine, it just takes a bit more work to install them. Wine has better support for early windows games than windows does now.

If they use a good, 12X bluray drive, it will be quicker to install from a disk than to download it unless you're lucky enough to have a good fiber internet connection. Even then, the servers you download from will often be overloaded and slow on release day.

Sure, you can still own digital media, but you can't sell or trade it like you can with a physical copy.

BSD works great on my firewall, but I'm certainly not going to run it on my desktop. The hardware and software support just isn't there yet.

Get a bluetooth audio transmitter dongle. Most of them support two pairs of headphones. That's also the only way to get APT-X LL support for low latency audio.

It still does if you buy a phone with a headphone jack and avoid shitty companies that disable the FM tuner.

Used cars are going to get much more valuable with all the enshitified crap they keep putting in new cars.

The easiest way to get lossless music is to buy a CD and rip it. Of course you can always sail the high seas too. 🏴‍☠️

 

I picked this little scope up from the Seapac swap meet a week and a half ago for $3. It turns out that all it needed was some contact cleaner to get it working again.

This is a portable scope that can run from 12V DC as well as an internal battery. I don't have the battery for it, but I could probably put some 18650's in there if I disable the built in charger.
