Paint a wall in a certain pattern, using multiple colors. It needs time for planning, time for buying tools, and time for execution.

Fix something. Replace dying batteries for electronics, take a look around the house, anything you can find parts on ifixit for. It requires focus and skill, gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment, and you benefit from your items longer. Also cheaper in the long run.

Tinker around the house. There’s always something broken or in a bad condition. Repaint stuff, reapply stuff.

Build something with your hands. Try woodworking.

Gardening unfortunately is usually done outside and during the day, but you could try indoors hydroponics or vertical gardening. Try to automatize it.

Learn programming. Learn hobby electronics. Arduino is easy to learn and requires both. Could help with the automatization above. You can find cheap clones and parts. You mainly work with DC under 12V, so it’s relatively safe.

Be curious. Watch Youtube videos about any subject you might find interesting, learn how stuff works, no matter how familiar or not they are. A lot of times I don’t have the patience to watch a show, but I find myself getting into a Youtube / Wikipedia rabbit hole about cryptography, programming, how games are made, how mechanical pinball machines work, lockpicking, painting, large buildings fails, quantum physics, astrophysics, photography.

Watch Cosmos, presented by Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Instead of my ID, I submitted a picture of dolphins and the text “So long and thanks for all the fish!”. And never came back.

Trading day ain’t over yet

He wanted to be popular with the regular, poor people. He was throwing money left and right but always denied where his wealth came from. He wanted to come across as a self-made, honest man. Some believed it, or just weren’t willing to accept the atrocities he was capable of. He was overthrowing the government, blaming it for everything that was bad in Colombia, and wanted to appear as a savior, hence the contrast he was creating by wearing simple outfits in certain public appearances. But he did also wear suits and shirts that were considered tasteful and fashionable at the time.

Well, I did not expect this.

Added an extra shelf to my shoe rack today. After measuring, cutting, drilling, even made little notches below the shelf, barely putting the shelf in because of hinges in the way, vacuuming the mess, halfway packing up my tools and call it a successful day and… doors won’t close because of the hinges on the doors hitting the shelf. Moved it 5mm lower after drilling another set of holes.

There are websites detecting adblockers that instruct you to disable them in order to view the website. It’s a constant game of cat and mouse between ad companies and adblockers.

And I would like to not watch and hear 3 x 10 seconds unskippable ads when one of my parents wants to show me some 30 seconds funny cat fails clip on their phone.

So the evidence is just bullshit with a good timing?

The position is randomized.

We already have “Three-Body”, a recent chinese production series from 2023. 30 episodes, tedious to watch, but ok quality. So no thanks, Netflix.

Is Keepass there? Good. Upvote.

Unique style paintings will become even more valuable in the future. Generative AI only spews “art” based on previous styles it learned / was trained on. Everything will be even more rehashed than it is today (nod to Everything is a Remix). Having a painting made by an actual human hand on your wall will be more ego-boosting than an AI generated one.

Sure, for general digital art (ie logos, game character design, etc) when uniqueness isn’t really mandatory, AI is a good, very cheap tool.

As for the “everyone becomes a programmer” part… naah.

Turris Omnia. Powerful hardware, auto updates, config backup / restore (with anti-bricking feature), SIM slot, etc

URL path (resource) is end-to-end (between your browser and end website) encrypted in an HTTPS request, along with the body, any query parmeters in the URL and POST params. So only the domain (or more specifically the IP) is transparent to your VPN provider.

As another user mentioned, the domain could get leaked to your ISP (besides the VPN provider) via DNS requests (depending of your PCs DNS cache lifetime and router cache), unless you use your own DNS provider over HTTPS. But your requests would still include an IP, which could be reversed to a domain via a trivial whois / lookup in a list.

But the thing you are worried about, the path in the URL (folders as you call it, but nowdays URL rewrite means that most probably there isn’t a direct association between URI and web server’s disk structure) should be encrypted and only the website you are visiting can decrypt it (via its private key of the SSL certificate).

😂 That’s what Muskrat wanted you to believe. Engineers and people with more than 2 brain cells have debunked the Hyperloop idea for years. Here’s one of them from 7 years ago.

As someone reading this thread, I’m stuck in an endless loop.

and the other

Sell it in bulk to governments for large sums of money for which advertising isn’t their interest.

Yep, seems like it. Another shitty thing by Google. So I’m not seeing an average of 2M reviews, the fucking count that’s placed just below the score, purposefully to mislead me, but god knows how many hundreds of reviews of the same old phone model that I use. And who knows how “recent” or how broad that “region” is.

I’ve heard this before, but a few days ago I saw it was at 4.2 and today is at 4.0 on Google Play. Am I seeing a different rating than everyone else? I don’t get it.
