VPN into your home lab isn’t about privacy, it’s more about reducing your exposed services to the public internet.

If you have only the ports needed to VPN back into your network, then the rest is hidden behind your router. You only need to fully secure one thing, instead of having to ensure that everything is 100% patched.

It’s not the only thing you should be doing, but it does help reduce the probability of a breach.

Matt Parker uses Excel to demonstrate how subpixels/images are generated.

Having the whole wikipedia would get you a damn good start to getting back to civilization.

That’s a pretty interesting way of doing it. I like it.

I’m not sure where these numbers are from, but my guess is that you mean the Observable Universe, which is just the part of the universe that we can see.

We don’t know how big the full universe is, it could be infinite with an infinite number of stars.

I’m wondering if it’s MORE private than Mullvad, cause the billing is separated from the servers. Probably just wishful thinking though.

Have you spoken to the business? Maybe they can offer a solution that you’re not aware of.

Maybe you can get a group text going with other patrons who will text the group about it? Maybe you can set up an RSS feed from their instagram account?

If you want a printer to “just work”, have an upgrade path to the next version when they come out, and don’t require a cloud account, then Prusa is a good choice.

If you want open source, open schematics, and open everything, then Voron based printers are a good choice.

There’s also tons of printers out there, just don’t support these shady lock-in manufacturers. Let’s not let 3d printing become what inkjet printing did.

Every 12 hours, the richest person in the world turns inside out. Just one, every 12 hours. The only way to stop it is if capitalism ends and people no longer hoard wealth.

What about Unicron, but pre-destruction? He’s basically planet sized.

Would I know everything I know now? Cause if not, then what’s the point? I might as well be a completely different person (because I would be).

If I do know everything I know now, then would I retain that intelligence if I was another creature? Like could I come back as a chimpanzee with my full current intellect? What about an octopus?

Could I come back as a 90 year old billionaire’s only heir, and be born with my complete current knowledge? Then I can just use the cash to help people?

Since this is fantasy anyway, could I come back as a Viltrumite? What about a Kryptonian?

Could I be Cthulhu?

Could I just be me, but reborn with my current information?

WHAT ARE THE RULES???

Yup, sometime in the next year or two I’ll get laid off, then I’ll just mooch off my spouse.

There’s a saying you might want to get familiar with

“If everywhere you look, all you see is assholes, maybe you’re the asshole.”

D) Move manufacturing and other dirty processes off planet and live here.

According to a US Army study, Iron and Tungsten could create galvanic action, causing both materials to degrade if in contact.

So at first glance, it seems like this combo wouldn’t last as long as it could with just Tungsten.

If you use a web email account, just create a draft email and don’t send it. Then log into your email account on the other device and read it there.

I open the picture on my computer, then screenshot it before uploading.

That removes any association with the original picture without relying on any exif stripping that might miss a hash or weird embedded info.

Just like anything else, one chunk at a time.

You can start with a story and build the game off of that, or you can start with the gameplay and build up from there.

Sometimes you just have to start, and see where it goes. Pick an engine and start building something, don’t be afraid to throw it all out and start over from what you’ve learned so far. Make a game that has some of the elements you want to use and try it out, then throw it out and make a different game with other bits. Start small and work up.

The biggest problem is thinking it has to be perfect to move on to the next part.

You can commission art, or you can buy some models and just use those.

You can also just build everything from the ground up, but it would be hard to do that for your first project.

Needs a new cigarette lighter.

If you are reborn as a new person with none of your previous memories, then does it matter that it’s still “you”?
