    "Why is it going to take so long?"

  • Is it possible to “make” someone have seizures?

    Jump

  • My knowledge is limited, but I recall hearing that more seizures are caused by smells than flashing lights. Based off that single fact, perhaps the thing that was triggering you isn't present anymore. Be that person, perfume, or otherwise.

  • What is your most "Fuck you, this is actually awesome?" take?

    Jump

  • Overly Sarcastic Productions has done a number of videos they call detail diatribes that have focused on Superman. The summary of many of them is that Superman is his most interesting when saving people and not when punching villains. Even in larger team fights, he could save everyone or hold off the threat, but he can't do both so he needs the help of others.

  • Your home is about to be incinerated, but you've been given enough time to evacuate everyone and fill a single container you have already with belongings to bring. What are you loading up, and what it

  • The bin of important documents. Everything else is replaceable. Pictures and data are backed up digitally. Clothes can be bought again. Family is already safe.

  • YSK that you can usually tell news site's bias based on how complimentary the picture they attached is

    Jump

  • There's an old trick relating to this; if you want someone to look foolish use a picture with their mouth wide open. If you want then to look dignified, use a picture with their mouth closed or smiling.

  • What's the worst change made in a movie adaptation of a book?

    Jump

  • In case you haven't seen the alternate ending for I am Legend, it puts a very different perspective on the whole movie. Apparently it was the original, but didn't screen well with viewers.

    The most telling moment for me is the infected slaps their hand on the glass and draws a butterfly as the last words the protagonist's daughter ever said to him, "Daddy, look a the butterfly!" echo is his head and he realizes that the infected he has captured has a butterfly tattoo on her shoulder. He even makes a note of it in the capture and experimentation scene claiming that the infected exposing himself to sunlight is a sign that "social de-evolution is complete." when instead the infected just witnessed a monster kidnap his daughter and drag her into a dangerous area that he cannot follow to do unknown experiments on her to change her into something else.

    Instead the ending negates everything built up to the point and ends with a boring action-movie cliche.

  • As I recall it, he is locked in a room awaiting execution at the end of the book and while he is there he observes the vampires creating a spectacle out of his death which causes him to realize that he has been the boogeyman of their society - that he has become the stuff of legends.

  • How do you not feel lazy at your wfh job?

    Jump

  • Sounds like you just need to find some ways to stay busy. My go-to is to either develop yourself or research your industry.

    The first option involves getting more education that relates to your field. Classes, courses, webinars, etc. Build your skills on the company dime. What you learn of yours to keep, so learn all you can.

    The second option is better suited to forums, magazines, publications, and news articles. What is going on with your industry and peers? Being on the cutting edge can involve a lot of just sitting and reading. Just write up a quick summary and save it for future reference or to justify the time spent.

  • Can you learn truths from fiction? Can you feel sad at a happy memory? Can you long for a person who wronged you? Can a good point he made by a bad person? Why does the source matter?

  • And when they doesn't work, install a fresh copy of Windows on new hardware in a sperate location within another dimension.

  • how is linux for gamers?

    Jump

  • The Venn diagram of games I want to play and games that won't run on Linux is two disjoined circles. My buddy really likes Helldivers, but that didn't play nice because of the invasive anti-cheat. That has been the only one.

  • How do you build a life up from scratch?

    Jump

  • My approach would be to find one thing and define it a home. For example, I keep nail clippers near my computer desk in an IKEA letter tray with other small, hard to group items like my lip balm, SD card readers, flash drives, ETC. From there, when I'm going through a bin of random shit and I find my cuticle shears, I have another item to group it with and a home for both.

    If some items are hard to find a home for, create a place for those objects to live together like a found-family trope.

  • Adam Savage once pointed out that organization isn't a problem to be solved it's a process to be managed. You won't find a perfect solution, but you can try things out and see how they work and make more changes later once you have new data to work with.

    If you have been just surviving, you probably haven't had the luxury of indecision. You need solutions, answers, and only have time for the things on the critical path. Now you're off that path and things are less straightforward. Take any advice you like, but understand the real answer will be something you need to grow yourself by fertilizing the soil with ideas and giving them time to either grow or rot.

    That said, my organization starts with giving everything a place. It doesn't have to be a perfect place, or even a good place at first, and can just be wherever it is right now.

    When you use the item, it returns to it's place. As you learn how you use the items, you can then start changing their place to be better. You're thinking about categories, but that comes from how you use or intend to use that item. That is knowledge you need to develop again, so don't worry about it yet.

    For furniture I like things that have clearly separate spaces that can be filled as I define things. The Kallax line of IKEA shelves is great as they are just cubes you can fill with bins, objects, or split with shelves and drawers. I move then around constantly, but that's fine since this isn't a problem to solve and in just managing the process.

  • Pi-hole client filtering without DHCP?

    Jump

  • I run AdGuard as an addon to Home Assistant. If you want to stick to AdGuard you can go to Settings > Client Settings and set a per-client filtering rule. There is a tab in the client settings that can be used to filter specific services with a click. Setting an IP reservation for your child's device in the DHCP settings of Unifi or your router will help ensure the IP address stays consistent.

    For the PiHole option, you don't actually have to let the PiHole handle DHCP. You just need to tell your DHCP server what DNS server to use. For example, my router is .1 and my Raspberry PI is .2. The DHCP server, my router, tells all devices .1 is the gateway and .2 is the DNS server. You may also need to set these settings on the individual devices to prevent them from ignoring your DNS settings, but that can be done from the network settings. Avast had some safe networking "feature" that would force my DNS settings to be ignored, same with my Android phone.

    Of course, the downside to all of this is that any different device, different IP, device from a friend, or mobile data could bypass these restrictions. You may soon be in an arms race with your child and chances are they can get more clever that you can in a shorter time frame.

  • I never really understood doing this as I hate getting most notifications when in awake. Unsubscribe and filter spam emails, disable notifications you don't want, and uninstall any app that provides notifications that can't be disabled.

    I want my waking hours to be as undisturbed as my sleeping hours while still retaining my awareness for friends, family, and emergencies.
