Might be easier/faster to find the video in lower quality to download?

Pro tip: Point the fan so that it blows outside and DO NOT put it directly on the window or right next to it. Instead, move it ~50cm away from the window to take advantage of Bernoulli's principle (push the air out more efficiently by pulling the air surrounding the fan).

You can cool down the room even if the door is closed. You are lowering the pressure inside your room so the outside air is forced to rush in. If you place the fan like I explained, and point it at the lower part of your window and you put your hand next to the upper part of the window, you will feel the cold air coming in.

That is unfortunate...
I had an unrealistic expectation, I thought they'd be able to support Manifest v2 for a long time, or find some kind of workaround.

They say Vivaldi is future proof because of their built in adblocker, but unfortunately it is not very good...

Yes, butt:


I also saw a video of a monkey peeling it from the stem side and then proceeding to clean it of all those stringy bits before finally eating it.

Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIc5kTth1lE

Nowadays, most people use password managers (hopefully). However, there are still some passwords that you need to memorize, like master password (for a password manager), phone lock, wifi password, etc.

Security wise, can passphrase reach the strength of a good password without getting so long that it defeats the purpose of even using it?

I've been using Dropbox to sync my KeePass database for years, but I want to switch to Syncthing. My only concern is losing a password due to file versioning. Usually if I have KeePass open on both my phone and PC, there will be a conflict when saving to database, so Dropbox creates a conflicted copy. In some cases that means that I have to merge those databases but I don't lose the password.

What file versioning option should I be using in Syncthing? Should I be worried about losing a password due to conflicted file?

Typing test: https://monkeytype.com
I used Unexpected Keyboard

Any tips on how to improve typing speed? (without using word suggestion and autocorrect)

I'm interested in how fast people who swipe type are.

Also, do those keyboards like Thumb Key and FlickBoard have the potential "to be faster" than the standard keyboards?

Wow that seems painfully slow/tedious. Why isn't it automatized? I think I saw a robot do like 20 pages a second on a yt some years ago.

I just learned about it yesterday. Seems like Vivaldi but on gecko, which I always wanted to see.
Unfortunately it seems like it's maintained by only one overworked dev. It needs more funding and more devs.

Oh shit!

This post actually made me look for a solution and I found one!
Solution to opening tiktoks without using tiktok app or site, not how to stop ur friends sending u garbage.

It made me think... mpv player can play basically any link you throw at it (thanks to yt-dlp), and we also have mpv on Android, so why can't we do it there as well. And sure enough, I found this https://github.com/mpv-android/mpv-android/pull/58, someone baked yt-dlp in mpv for Android, making it possible to open link in mpv (share >> play in mpv)

It works for instagram and all other shit.

Although I can't find those exact pics, I believe that the photographer is Drew Buckley (Puffin Man), he takes a lot of photos of puffins :D

Quote from some old guide:

The Importance of Being Connectable:

When it comes to torrents, being connectable can go a long way in helping your ratio. Connectivity is directly related to port forwarding, your router, and incoming torrent connections. Here's how it works:

You upload a new torrent. After going through the upload page and adding the torrent to your client, the client connects to the tracker to do the following:

  1. Tell the tracker it is going to begin seeding a torrent.
  2. Ask the tracker if there are any peers it doesn't know about.

Normally, no one has downloaded the torrent from the site between the time that you upload the torrent and when you add it to your client. So your client will now wait, for 45 minutes (or however long it's been told to wait by the tracker), until it will connect back and ask for more peers.

Now suppose someone downloads your torrent from the site after you added the torrent to your client. Normally, the person's client will ask the tracker for peers, to which the tracker will return your IP address to connect to. That client will then connect to your client, using the IP address and port number it got from the tracker pertaining to your client and the port it accepts incoming connections on. This is where being connectable comes into play. We'll assume your IP address is 139.129.43.5 and your port number used for torrenting is 3058.

When the peer attempts to connect to you on that designated port, your router has to know what to do with the incoming connection. It receives an incoming connection from the peer, on port 3058. If you have your port forwarded to your client correctly, that is, you've told the router what to do with incoming data on a specific port, the router knows to send anything coming in on port 3058 to the computer your client is running on. Now, if you are not connectable, the router doesn't know what to do with items coming in on port 3058, so they are discarded, and the other peer isn't able to connect to you.

If your port isn't forwarded correctly, the peer who just added your torrent to their client will have to wait for 45 minutes, until your client updates with the tracker, and gets the new peer's IP address and port to connect to. If the peer is connectable, you will then make an outbound connection to them, and it will connect successfully. Outbound connections aren't normally blocked by a router, unlike incoming ones, this is why a client doesn't need a port forward for outgoing connections. This scenario is also why you can still seed even if you aren't connectable. This can have very negative consequences for your ratio though as I will now explain.

Here's how not being connectable will hurt you. When you are seeding a torrent in a large swarm and a new peer comes online, his client will attempt to make connections to the other peers. If you aren't connectable, you will have to wait (at max) 45 minutes until your client learns of their existence, before you can start uploading data to them. During this time the peer is getting data from other peers, but not you. By the time your client finally learns of the new peer's existence, the client will already be done downloading! You won't get nearly as much upload than if you were connectable. Depending on the size of the torrent, your client may not get any upload for that peer, because he will have completed the torrent before your client even knew he was present.

The absolute worst case scenario is when both peers aren't connectable. Neither peer will be able to connect to the other, and both will sit without connection indefinitely.
