  • It’s an emergency propeller, when the main engines lose power.

    It’s also the reason I never sit in the emergency exit row. The reason they give you extra legroom is so passengers can use the pedals that pop up from the floor when the masks are dropped. When they ask if you’re willing and able to help on an emergency, this is actually the most common thing you’ll have to help out with.

    Everytime I’ve been in a crashing airplane, I just lean back a few degrees and laugh at those poor suckers who traded for a couple inches of extra legroom and now have the responsibility of saving the rest of us.

    Most cable modem router combos have the ability to turn off the router part and just act as a modem in Bridge mode. If that’s an option, you can get your own router to handle local traffic, including dhcp (and thus dns) for all your local devices.

    Obviously, this goes against your request not to get your own router, but I thought I’d mention it in case you thought you would have to buy your own modem as well (which you are also free to do, assuming your isp supports customer-owned modems). The modem part can stay the same while having a separate router not controlled by the isp.

    If your particular unit doesn’t allow that, you can usually still locally override dns settings, though this is more for computers and phones than it is some smart home devices. iPhone and Android phones will let you specify dns ip addresses when you set up a wifi connection. Just edit the wifi config and change to a static ip. You can usually safely use the ip address given to you from dhcp, so make a note of your device ip address before changing it to static, and just use the same values. Then you can manually set the dns ip address.


  • I have play protect disabled. It gets annoying that it randomly asks to re-enable every so often, so I created a Tasker automation to dismiss that popup of it detects it. Doesn’t always work, but it’s better than nothing. Super annoying that you can’t tell Google to stop asking already and no, I don’t want play protect.

    I’m testing out grapheneos on another phone, which has all the Google stuff stripped out or sandboxed, so I don’t have to worry about it there.

    So no, play protect hasn’t removed my KDE connect app, but it hasn’t been given the opportunity to try.

    In one row in the top image, there are only two people, but three hands raised. The skin tone and attire of this arm doesn’t match with either of the two people in that row with their hand raised. I’m guessing this was an oversight of the original meme creator for this template.

    I noticed this when someone posted this meme a while back, so I thought I’d try my hand at making my own somewhat meta meme.












  • Keepass2Android does all that on android. It natively supports Dropbox, google drive, one drive, nextcloud, pcloud, and mega, plus you can use WebDAV or sftp. When editing an entry, the totp setup has the ability to scan qr codes with the camera. Plus, the whole thing is free and open source.

    They even have a package on F-Droid, though that build lacks the built-in support for cloud syncing (due to F-Droid restrictions prohibiting binaries, I think).

    I’ve used this app for years on android, paired with various cloud sync options as providers change their restrictions and capabilities. On desktop, I use keepassxc.


  • Looks like the title is incorrect, and it’s actually posts per day. At least, the graph shows a few days where the number goes down, so it can’t be just the total number of posts (unless there was a wave of deletions outpacing the posts).

    Edit: according to other people’s comments, it is actually total posts, not posts per day. So my above comment seems to be incorrect.
