I am a big fan of Ducky, and I’d recommend you to look at their popular One 3, or Shine series.

I have not used a Shine in many years, but I am daily driving the One 2 series, the One 3 has replacable switches, RGB and a good design.

As for what switch you should get…

MX Brown are tactile, so no deliberate click, but just about any mechanical keyboard will make some noise depending on how you type.

With replacable switches you can get other switches if you find the default not to be to your liking.

Perhaps I can avoid the updates on Mars…

UFW

This is just my personal computer and I’m a newbie to configure firewalls

Leave it alone.

If you want to experiment, set up a VM and experiment there.

Also, if you want to learn about Linux firewalls, go for iptables instead. UFW is easier, yes, but you won’t get the standard way of configuring a Linux firewall, though to be honest, unless you are directly connecting the computer to the internet, you probably won’t need to bother.

And if you are working in an environment where you are dealing with a segmented network with limited access between segments, they will probably already use a separate firewall that is easier to manage centrally than induvidual firewalls running on individual computers

I like the environment of the map you drive in, I have everything that has to do with the characters in game.

If you feel like grinding skill points, the Hooligan Ford RS200 with a full mastery is the best.

Huh, my maternal grand parents had the white version of that mug at their holiday home.

Nah, I am happy with my mental state as it is.

I also found this in the support forum:

I would start by reinstalling Firefox and creating a new profile before messing with about:config.

I have used Firefox since 1.0 and have nwver noticed the issue, so try a new install to start with.

I have never done shrooms or any drug.

I remember back when I found the Conet project CD boxset uploaded on the internet when I was into number stations.

It is a collection of number station recordings, released to try and get attention and focus people’s efforts to find and decode these signals.

A subtype of number stations are polytone stations, they broadcast tones that a computer can interpret into the message, so when you hear it, it is just what sounds like random tones played randomly at high speed.

The full recording also has a few more sections, there is often an identification string, like a peice of music to help agents tune in to the source, then there is a sync broadcast to have the computer figure out the timings, I have heard this as a rapid stacato tone signal.

Anyway, one of the most terrifying experiences I have had with media was when I was at a LAN party, I was playing OpenTTD with my friends in coop, while listening to the Conet project.

I get to a track that just starts with a slow droning rythm, I zone out from the sound and it is kinda nice with a slow, allmost meditative tempo in my headphones.

This goes on for minutes as I relax, then suddenly, the sound speeds up and a different stacato rythm starts.

And before I could react, my ears are filled with weird random beeps at a high speed.

I just ripped my headphones off my head as it sort of felt as if my brain was being reprogrammed, the long slow drone part felt as if it was made to soften my brain up, for the fast beeps to affect me.

I remember back when I first started learning to drive, dad tried to teach me in his SAAB 95 BioPower estate, it was a manual, it was terrifying.

I only took a few lessons before stopping, almost two daceds later, 2022 I enrolled with a local driving school, learned in a VW Golf Automatic. It was still scary at first, but at 34 was ready in a different way than when I was 18 or so.

Still, it took me almost a year of driving lessons to pass my test, though I did do it while working full time at the same time (I didn’t take a vacation that year, I took sporadic days to attend driving classes).

The first time I took the test I failed as I didn’t keep attention to where the car were in relation to a wall and the examinor had to step on the brake.

The second time went well, and I passed it.

Then for half a year, my dad and me went out on the weekends and I drove his car (a Volvo v90 Automatic), that was absolutely critical, I got the practice I needed and got to spend some quallity time with dad.

Then in the summer of 2023, I bought my first car, a 2021 Seat Leon PHEV hatchback Automatic, and I just went nuts!

In the first year of owning the car I drove 40000km, I drove like absolute mad, every day I got in my car and drove for hours, I explored the local area and the car, not to mention got used to driving.

That was also critical, driving so much has made me a confident driver, though perhaps a bit over confident as I got my first speeding ticket this summer going 10kmh over the limit at a surprise police speed trap.

Then this summer a badger decided to run into my car while I was driving 60, getting that sorted now.

These incidents have made me a calmer driver, especially when it is now getting darker here in Sweden.

I have a few rules of my own that have been very helpful to my being a better driver.

A. If something unexpected happens at an intersection, it might be me getting my priorities mixed up, or someone else behavinf oddly, if that happens, when I get home, I go on Google Streetview and look up the intersection and look at signs, makring and the general look of the place from as many directions as possible, I try to figure out why I drove the way I drove, and why other did it their way. This has helped me hugely.

B. I try turn around (at a suitable place) and drive the road properly after something either happened, or nearly happened. I do this so that the last time I drove a road went well, so an old mistake doesn’t haunt me making me lore worried.

The estate car is the ideal car for 80% of all drivers, a hatchback is ideal for 15% of all drivers.

Over time

Hey I think I found the issue, you rent a trailer when you need it, you don’t just rent it long term.

Also, even if you own a trailer, you don’t have to tow it all the time.

You know what you can do if you need to haul something and don’t have a truck?

Rent a trailer!

No.

No you would not, you may have made contingencies in case it happened, but you would absolutely be affected by it and have your day disrupted.

I have boycotted Logitech since they started pushing Logitech Download Assistant through Windows Update, as soon as you plug a Logitech device into your Windows computer you get the program Logitech Downlod Assitant that you can’t uninstall or easily stop running.

So I got myself a Xtrfy M4 and later the Xtrfy M4 Wireless, they require zero program to configure it, it’s brilliant!

Last week I got myself a Pulsar Xlite V3, it needs a program to configure it, but it is manually installed, require no internet connection and saves the config to the mouse.

As for keyboards, I am a huge fan of Ducky keyboards, they just work for me.

For my audio, I use a Röde Videomic Go II, no software needed, but Röde central is used to configure it, it acts as a soundcard that I connect my Philips X2HR Fidelio headphones to.

It works brilliantly!

I read the title as “TikTok launches expanded universe”, and I was a bit confused

There is no golden rule for this, just like any social media, laws vary in different countries.

You should block all NSFW instances and all NSFW communities on general instances if you are concerned about breaking the law, doing that shows that you are intentionally blocking content that is seen as questionable.

My blocklist is huge, I tend to browse all, and add instances or communities to the list constantly. Most of the stuff is things I find annoying, ourt of sight, out of mind, other times it is hard NSFW and I don’t want to get porn by randomly browsing Lemmy, if that is what I am after I will use a dedicated account.

You can also just subscribe to communities you want to read and only browse those.
