  • There are types of Sudafed that don't work and types that do.

    Pseudoephedrine HCl is the original recipe, it's controlled in the US because people use it to make meth. So it's behind the counter at US pharmacies, and you usually have to show ID to make sure you're not buying too much.

    Phenylephrine is the new stuff that's basically useless, it's not controlled because it basically does nothing. You can't use it to make meth, but it also doesn't work as a decongestant. It's called Sudafed PE.

    I'm not sure about other countries but that's how it works in the US. If you're not showing ID to a pharmacist, you're not buying the good stuff.

  • THE DUKE! I have big hands and I loved that thing.,

  • Nice, love it when somebody posts a solution rather than just an unanswered question

  • To be fair, the PiHole is just doing a firewall function: DNS filtering. If you have a fully featured router/firewall like PFsense, you can do everything a PiHole does using that. So I see how one could argue that a PiHole might benefit from dual NICs, but in practice, for home users, I agree that it's not necessary.

  • Try emailing them to see if they'll ship a small amount to you for cheaper.

  • Are two ports really necessary for PiHole? I guess if you have EVERY device in your house pointed at it and you have a LOT of devices, maybe....

  • You mean....back when Google owned Moto, and Moto manufactured the Nexus?

  • Honestly I'm not familiar with OpenWRT, but I would guess you can set up a VPN using OpenWRT without a Pi (assuming your router has the CPU muscle to run that). I know you can do it with PFsense and OPNsense.And I think the whole point of setting up a VPN is to AVOID port forwarding. It's safer to have no ports forwarded.

  • This "case" doesn't sound "odd" at all. A woman picked up a wild animal and it did the thing that you expect wild animals to do.

  • Good to know, but nobody should buy a Pixel expecting it to be a high performance gaming phone. You buy it for all the smart Google features and camera.

  • Calibre is how people do this. Install it on a PC or Mac, and it can easily send books to your Kindle and convert to the right format automatically.

    But yes, you can also drag and drop to USB like you're asking. You just gotta make sure you drop on the right format (or use Calibre).

  • Eh, maybe. Depends on how much they're backup up and how often. They said the backups are off-site, so unless BOTH locations have a very fast connection, I'd bet that 100Mbit networking wouldn't be the huge bottleneck that you're thinking.

  • I don't see why it wouldn't handle SyncThing, as long as you're not syncing a lot of clients.

    You could also get a cheap screen and use it for a news/weather/social feed.

  • I dunno, people have been doing their hair in fun ways for a looooong time. Braiding, cutting, even coloring can be done with pretty primitive tools. I would bet that even the earliest humans had some cool hairstyles.

  • My dude, the question was about software.

  • Yeah most of these come from countries that are already unfriendly to the US. China, Russia, North Korea, etc. So there isn't much to be done here, aside from impotent whining during UN meetings.

  • It's sometimes very good content, other times you can tell he's talking out of his ass and trying to be edgy. A good "expert" should be able to admit that they have blind spots, and refer you to better sources of info.
