Why pick shit out of your cereal, when you can just get the other brand that doesn’t have shit in it?

At least they’ve zapped the acceptable ads out of it :)

Ironfox is my current pref for mobile, backed by uBO & a VPN to a box running pfsense.

ABP hasn’t been relevant for years, because they started on “acceptable ads” back in 2011.

Anyone with sense has long since moved on.

Odd one. Accessible using an app, not on browser though.

Will need an alternative if you need to port forward, but for general use you can’t fault them

UK is implementing law for age verification on nsfw content, that’s the jist of it.

Some services are choosing to simply not serve the UK rather than deal with the faff and/or the privacy concerns. lemmy.zip where I am from is one of them.

Blame lies squarely with the UK gov & Online Safety Act. It’s a shit law made to pander to the ‘think of the children’ types that are incapable of parenting, also coming with the bonus of grift and doxxing concerns by companies that move in to provide the service.

I don’t blame any site operator that chooses to simply not play. VPN goes on, normal service resumes.

It’s not, and it’s the bloody daily heil too.

Use a different service, or encrypt your data before upload & share password separately. For anything remotely private, should be doing that already.

For chaotic good, upload LLM poison to fuck with the training data.

…Goddamnit.

Stevie/Stevies (as in the name, Steve) is the house-level localised name here. Stevie Slater.

Why, I don’t know.

Woodlice are my favourite for this. From the wiki:

• potato bug
• roll up bug
• roly-poly
• slater (Scotland, Ulster, New Zealand and Australia)

Exactly - some are perfectly fine. The cheap ones are terrible, crossthread too easily, get up in your face, dribble, or all of the above.

Sports style bottles solved the problem long before standard caps got in the game. They get disposed of together here either way, even if the cap gets yanked off for being stupid.

I don’t understand how they end up separate in disposal in the first place. The whole point is that you can reseal the bottle and move/store it without leaking. If you’re not actively using the bottle, it gets resealed to move or store. When you finish the bottle, you probably have the cap still in hand or very close by.

Tangentially, I’d love to see a Pfand type system here.

It’s definitely puddle cat season now

Thanks for choosing us at .zip :)

We’ve opened a piefed instance too - early days yet though: piefed.zip

Whatever way you go for setting up the systems themselves, I’ve found dwservice.net to be perfect for accessing systems with only a browser.

The host component is Mac, Windows and Linux compatible. The clients need only an account at DW. Hosts tied to your own account can be shared with others.

Depending on host OS, you get screen, terminal and fire transfer access. Sessions are logged if you need to review who’s accessed what.

Free. Donation optional.

I condensed down from a power hungry tower server to a couple of thinkstations and a nas. Much nicer on the power.

I ended up being lazy and just running it as a Homeassistant add-on, but end result is the same.
