I can 100% see that in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Super white washed and no industry to bring in fresh faces, just generational residency.

No outdoor advertisements/billboards, very few national chains, very protective of local business, everyone is very connected with the land and their community. Vermont is awsome.

Listen to this guy! Spot on. When I built my server I spent more time researching and paying for the PSU more than any other single part. Ended up with a Seasonic PRIME FANLESS PX-450. Server idles around 25W with a ryzen 5600g and 40TB of storage.

Sound dampening. Common feature on high trim cars or electric vehicles.

Every link should open a separate pop up window. Add an under construction gif of a dude digging.

Did you read the sign on my front door? No distro solicitors. Get off my lawn.

I'm going to have to give this a shot tonight, need to make a pfsense rule to allow the server to get out and then change its DNS. Regarding php, my current config is the following because I have over 64gigs of ram and went through great length to get Nextcloud to cache MORE into ram:

    
pm.max_requests = 50000 #set higher, the process is recyled after 50k calls to prevent memory leaks
pm.max_children = 1000
pm.start_servers = 60
pm.min_spare_servers = 30
pm.max_spare_servers = 120

  

So on your Nextcloud server you use an external DNS and it greatly sped up you nextcloud? Because I noticed a few years back mine got slow and I cannot figure out why. It was about the time I enforced pihole dns with pfsense. I might need to try this.

Thank you for the super thoughtful response. I'm in the process of fully ditching Windows. I use Vpn whenever I'm not home, I run my own cloud services, last big leap is to switch to graphene when I upgrade my phone and ditch the gmail accounts. I'm close and so finding this shockingly specific article got me thinking. Usually the articles are indeed spot on accurate but expected, not obscure yet specific.

Yep! Unless you idle the car a lot just change it based on mileage and not age!

How? The data is locked up in Google servers? All the evidence I have is posted here.

It was a suggested article not an ad

It was an article not an ad. And the specifics of oil age vs millage is pretty damn obscure in my opinion especially for a guy who works in tech.

There is a chance I guess he went off and researched the topic and our relations are tethered on googles back end so it figured I might be interested in his interests. But I'm stretching here. I should ask him on Monday!

Not possible. To be explicit, he was asking me my opinion about car maintenance and if I changed the oil in my cars every X miles OR every six months, or if the expiration time of oil was BS. I told him my opinion was that the age of the oil is irrelevant unless you idle your car for many hours at a time, just change it based on the millage. Today I got fed an article about how a dude tested the oil from various cars, with various ages and miles against brand new oil and found that age made no difference on the key characteristics of the oil. That is a remarkably specific article from a VERY specific VERBAL conversation I had over a Teams call on a work computer. It certainly got me thinking but again its the first time I've had one of those super specific ads in a long time that made me question my privacy.

Edit: I'm getting down voted, so people don't think this is a markably specific ad response? People really think Google is just this good to infer this type of article in less than 24 hours is just dumb luck because 'oil change'?

That's actually a great point. He is older and uses a dumb phone but we have been working with each other over 5 years so there are going to be lots of connections to each other. Furthermore this coincidental ad is rare, I haven't gotten one like this in awhile.

I have whole house ad blocking with a pihole and its enforced with pfsense. All DNS traffic gets NATed to pihole.

Have you froze it recently though? They bury the fucking options and make it as painful as possible all while trying to sell you $20 a month monitoring services. Seriously equifax? Why would I PAY your backward, half assed company money to sell AND leak my data? What the christ!

Bingo. My company sub-leased some downtown office space to get out of it and will bail on it completely in about 5 years when the lease expires.
