I find it weird that they upload content to their own servers even when you provide them with an external link.

Or they could just compression for their PNGs. PNG is a lossless format so they’ll only lose a fraction of a second during creation.

How do you find seeders of rare content?

You could turn off the DHCP server on your router and let your server handle it. You can then tell your clients to use Pi hole via the DHCP running on your server

Who says the ISP isn’t blocking ports via a firewall?

I thought it was common practice for ISPs to block certain ports for residential connections?

I have a friend who’s in the computer repair business. He uses PNY drives because out of the hundreds he’s installed, he’s yet to see one come back with a faulty drive, unlike some of the other brands he’s tried like Kingston. He gets the base size and base speed drives as his customers tend not to use a lot of data.

I had a friend who had a SanDisk and it also failed. I also think SanDisk thumb drives suck.

I’ve seen many Kingston drives at work fail, which I think is interesting because their thumb drives are some of the best. Actual USB 3 speeds and built well.

I had one around 2012-2013 and it failed on me. I had issues with it throughout its life but I didn’t realise it was the drive until I upgraded to a Samsung.

Your OS doesn’t matter when picking a VPN provider.

Others have mentioned plenty of good options.

When I searched for a cheap VPS I settled on IONOS’s XS package (this 1€/month). It’s one of the cheapest out there. Bonus is that it’s a company we all recognise and can reasonably trust. And there are no weird gimmicks either; it’s just straight forward.

One thing missing from this XS package compared to their other packages from IONOS is that there is no resource monitor on their web panel, which can be useful if you don’t want to set up your own.

I’m not deleting them. They’re uploaded to the cloud at the time of creation. I also move them off my phone to my computer every 6 months or so - I do this just in case the upload to the cloud has ever silently failed. I deduplicate the images, so I don’t have multiple versions of the same image with different file names.

For me it’s not entirely about space. I rarely let the device get more than 2/3rds full. It’s also about speed. If I want to pull a photo/video off my phone, it seems sluggish when there are thousandths of files in that one directory.

I’m using a 128GB phone and it’s never full. But I export photos And videos off it once every 6 months. If I didn’t I’d need 1TB phone.

I think perfection is probably somewhere between dark and light themes. Light can frequently be too bright where it feels like you’re looking into the sun. And dark can be like working in literally the dark, and it’s sometimes too difficult to see the boundaries between objects. I think it would be cool if we had a sliding scale, where you can pick from several brightness levels.

I thought I’d give you context just in case, as your question was vague. You might not have consumed YouTube and was blissfully unaware. :)

That’s because they asked the internet for those polls. The internet thinks they’re funny by picking the meme numbers. So I can understand why they chose to omit those numbers from their results.

YouTube STEM educator. 15 million subscribers. Probably in the top 5 STEM educators on the platform.

He released a video on the number 37 two weeks ago, with 6 million views.

Hello Veritasium enjoyer

This is what I was already comparing. Ugreen make thinner cables?

I wonder if it’s the real Elon Musk?
