    They’re making the (possibly false) assumption that density will stay the same, so size must grow with weight.

    Of course, it’s equally likely that size will remain constant. It changes or it doesn’t -> 50/50 odds. Until the point it all collapses into a black hole.

    Most cable modem router combos have the ability to turn off the router part and just act as a modem in Bridge mode. If that’s an option, you can get your own router to handle local traffic, including dhcp (and thus dns) for all your local devices.

    Obviously, this goes against your request not to get your own router, but I thought I’d mention it in case you thought you would have to buy your own modem as well (which you are also free to do, assuming your isp supports customer-owned modems). The modem part can stay the same while having a separate router not controlled by the isp.

    If your particular unit doesn’t allow that, you can usually still locally override dns settings, though this is more for computers and phones than it is some smart home devices. iPhone and Android phones will let you specify dns ip addresses when you set up a wifi connection. Just edit the wifi config and change to a static ip. You can usually safely use the ip address given to you from dhcp, so make a note of your device ip address before changing it to static, and just use the same values. Then you can manually set the dns ip address.

    In one row in the top image, there are only two people, but three hands raised. The skin tone and attire of this arm doesn’t match with either of the two people in that row with their hand raised. I’m guessing this was an oversight of the original meme creator for this template.

    I noticed this when someone posted this meme a while back, so I thought I’d try my hand at making my own somewhat meta meme.




  • My wife has an iPhone, but I have an old iPad hooked to her account. I can see where all the air tags are, and locate them or activate the noise function. For traveling, there’s no real benefit to having an iPhone vs an iPad.

    The main bonus that the newer IPhones have is the ability to locate them like a homing device. If you’re within 30 feet, it will actually tell you which direction and how far away it is. Like a compass, it points you towards the air tag, letting you get to within a foot or so to find it. For locating a lost item at home, it’s much easier to use the iPhone.

    But for gps tracking, the basic Bluetooth check in network with apple devices gives you the location of all the devices, within a few meters or so.








  • Keepass2Android does all that on android. It natively supports Dropbox, google drive, one drive, nextcloud, pcloud, and mega, plus you can use WebDAV or sftp. When editing an entry, the totp setup has the ability to scan qr codes with the camera. Plus, the whole thing is free and open source.

    They even have a package on F-Droid, though that build lacks the built-in support for cloud syncing (due to F-Droid restrictions prohibiting binaries, I think).

    I’ve used this app for years on android, paired with various cloud sync options as providers change their restrictions and capabilities. On desktop, I use keepassxc.

    Looks like the title is incorrect, and it’s actually posts per day. At least, the graph shows a few days where the number goes down, so it can’t be just the total number of posts (unless there was a wave of deletions outpacing the posts).

    Edit: according to other people’s comments, it is actually total posts, not posts per day. So my above comment seems to be incorrect.
