I have a MiBand which for me is primarily a regular watch with notifications.

I haven't used audio notifications or ringing on my phone for years. I can also just allow the most important apps, while the less important notifications I'll see just on my phone when I unlock it, unless I blocked those notifications too.

Currently this means I get SMS notifications (mostly useful for verification codes / package pick-up codes), Lemmy reply notifications (and few other e-mails), bank notifications (like payments), phone battery charged (80%) notification, and notifications of upcoming space rocket launches with webcast available (within 10 minutes).

My phone doesn't make a sound, it doesn't light up the screen, it doesn't show notifications on lockscreen, it doesn't vibrate, it doesn't use notification LED. The smartband is a replacement.

saying something like this indicates to me that you don’t understand the complexities of masculinity, femininity or sexuality

Yup. Look at gay "bears" and heterosexual femboys or drag queens.

What is a charity?
I mean, like most people I just think of organizations that help the homeless, poor families, starving children, etc...

For me the scam risk is too high, and anyway, that's where most people donate money, both because it engages a lot of emotion.

But I do donate elsewhere, mostly FOSS projects like KDE and individual developers like for example Deluan Quintao (developer of Navidrome server).
Though I also donate to some local more standard-like places. Those are ochranma hotline - portal in INHOPE network for reporting illegal online content including CSAM; IPcko - crisis intervention helpline (psychological help) with physical offices as well (unpaid of course) and a mobile crisis team, as far as I know they're underpaid (a quick search shows they had to fire 17 psychologists in 2024); and lastly Municia pre Ukrajinu - money for purchase of ammunition for Ukraine in collaboration with Czech Republic, as the Slovakian government refused to aid them

Anyway, all of it is just little bits, I can't afford to donate any meaningful amount.

Should have made it customizable rather than hard-coded 3 days.

How much would an assassin to kill you cost? 🤔

Anyway, best to refuse this offer.

Fuck!

Better question is what 4 letter words I can even remember. Let's see...

fuck, lock, cock, yiff, bear, fair, mare, fare, Mars, SARS, cars, arse, bars, tree, pine, mine, dime, fine, lime, blue, moon, soon, tone, moan, loan, lawn, down, fawn, leek, meme, joke, yolk, dick, lick, sick, tick, kick, ball, mall, fall, chip, ship, spin, meat, meet, porn, corn, horn, burn, role, play, star, trek, mono, long, song, dong, monk, duck, luck, suck, rack, deck, card, nano, pico, mini, cake, sake, lake, aqua, cyan, Arch, lore, vore, fart, dart, mart, sour, hour, four,...

There's probably a website for that, what am I doing. I'll go with Mars Arch.

Interesting how my brain picks the words.

Edit: Removed duplicate word

Edit 2: Remembered a better candidate

Activates god mode

Aside from being able to harm small wildlife like hedgehogs, squirrels, snakes etc.

Well, that's enough of a reason.

Yeah, no way I'd leave something like that running unsupervised.
I don't even feel good leaving batteries charging without me near.

Are you sure it was an actual choice?

Not the person you replied to, but I prefer neither of those in this context since they only represent age-based sexual attraction, which may also be given as a diagnosis.

The more fitting name is a "predator" or "sexual predator". If specific to children, then "child molester". Both technically correct (as far as I know), while also sounding more serious (in my opinion).

Ignorance. Lots of if.

Just like 3 weeks ago I started using Tailscale. I'd highly recommend trying that.

It does some uuuuh... magic to establish direct connections on most networks. You can verify whether you're using direct connection or relay using tailscale status on Linux.

It uses Wireguard under the hood. There's also Tailnet lock feature (still in beta) in case you don't trust Tailscale to not maliciously add devices to your Tailnet.

This would give you lower latency than the VPS solution. I use it with CG-NAT on both sides. I also started using it for LAN since it establishes direct connection over LAN too, and seamlessly switches between networks so I can disconnect from LAN and keep current connections going over WAN or vice versa.

But I've just tried now, and it won't work even on LAN without internet access. Still better than a VPS solution in some way.

But you may also try looking into headscale which is basically a lightweight self-hosted private Tailscale control server, but I haven't tried anything with that.

I don't want to make a separate comment since I am also not from US, but damn, this sounds overblown to me. Especially for someone who's just related to your friend.
And especially from a student, since students are generally quite poor.

Not sure if you'll find something that cheap, but RackNerd has some pretty cheap offers sometimes. Thing is, they don't seem to expire, so there's this: https://racknerdtracker.com/?sort=price

But I haven't tried them yet.
Also keep in mind the monthly bandwidth limits.
You get what you pay for, and $10/year is basically nothing.

Oh, and you may be responsible for random people's traffic depending on the provider. I think I've read in ToS of some VPS provider that you have to notify them about running a public service for this reason.

I don't use it, but Slovak QWERTZ is the standard in my country. But using it feels like a pain in the ass (for me). Some characters need ctrl+alt rather than just shift, others may only be written with alt codes, at least on Windows...

Part of my graduation exam was literally to just type \ % @ & on a computer. Thankfully for me, settings wasn't blocked, so I just added US layout.

If I need some slovak characters I do either one of the following:

1. Say "fuck it" and write it without diacritics ("like SMS")
2. If needed in forms, use KCharSelect
3. Smartphone virtual keyboard
4. Like 1 but printed on paper with diacritics added using a pen
5. Write it in English even if I am not supposed to and wait for the outcome
6. Write it in English, pipe it to Google Translate (I find writing in English mostly easier anyway - doesn't mean I am good at it)
7. Write it in English, (attempt to) translate it myself
8. Good ol' pen 'n paper all the way (I mean, I've got a fountain pen too)

Where did you hear that?
So far I've only heard about teaching kids how to use it as a tool rather than trusting everything it says, or even replacing a human. And I'd agree on that. Too many people (by far not just kids) take what ChatGPT, Gemini and chatbots alike say for granted.

I sometimes get this with Mullvad in official YouTube app as well.

Any chance he might be used to a different name? Like [L]R03 (L for alkaline ones).
