Mind elaborating a bit more?

Some way of globally capturing hotkeys, for things like starting stream, media hotkeys, etc. Only passing key events to the foreground window is shortsighted, but we need a secure way of doing this.

VPS typically have shared IPs. You’re paying extra for a dedicated IPv4.

It’s because many privacy enthusiasts are or have also been in network infrastructure, and realize the measures that must be taken on a hostile network which literally defines the internet.

I told you what to do. Rent a VPS, and set your own VPN up. Nothing is stopping you from doing this the right way.

Twitch shadowbans public VPNs due to abuse/bots. The most common method for people to get around bans is to use a VPN – now assume millions of viewers, and you’ve got an easy recipe for needing to stop that activity.

You’re not punished for being privacy conscious; you’re being punished for being roughly in the same realm as harassers, etc.

If you don’t want to be banned, rent a VPS and set up your own private VPN for only you. The problem is that using Nord, Windscribe, etc etc is that you’re sharing that VPN tunnel with hundreds, maybe thousands of people at a time.

Fuck this. Torx, Hex, square drive are all positive engagement. Phillips is literally designed to cam out. Slotted is just the first head type to have existed because of how easy it is to make, but is far inferior to every other type.

Except the mortgage payment ends after 30 years, and what you pay into the house is yours afterwards. Sure, the insurance and other taxes continue - but once the house is paid off, it’s done. I paid my mortgage off in 5 years by dumping every last dime I had into it and living off of nothing but scraps.

Landlords aren’t profiting off of scarcity. They’re profiting off of having the means to do something that renters won’t: Buy a house with a 30yr mortgage, and leverage that money for something useful.

You too can buy a house. But everyone who shits on landlords, always spits out excuses why buying a house isn’t “feasible” or would “lock them down too much”, etc etc.

If you can buy 30k worth of tractor equipment, you can run it and make the money back you spent on it. That’s all landlords are doing - they’re buying when you won’t (not can’t…won’t) and then selling it back to you in trade for your “economic freedom” to move every 1-2 years and bitch about it.

Then we have the whole “fuckcars” movement, who wants everyone crammed into a shared-wall sardine can and nobody to own a house of their own ever; for the sake of population density so they can bike everywhere.

Lemmy is filled with a lot of extremists. Nuanced thinking is in short supply here.

You mean the one that was just recently…taken down?

Yeah, didn’t last as long as I’d hoped it would.

I usually just use tar -xvf {file} – I like the verbosity when extracting just so I know it actually is doing things.

The same Bill Nye that aired the episode “My Sex Junk”? Yeah, please no. That guy isn’t even a real scientist.

Yep, closing costs are accurate.

Honestly, I’ve not seen housing dip except for in 2008 - and I’ve felt like it should have crashed long ago, but with the AirBnB market and all these investors now using housing to rake in massive amounts of cash, people just keep buying and buying. Honestly, I probably wouldn’t buy myself at this point - even just 5 years ago it was a much more tenable situation than it is now.

You’re right for calling me out on D; In this market you’d have to live in a house for 5+ years easy before you could get out of it. But you’d be getting a LOT out of it unless they regulate AirBnB (and that ain’t happening).

Additionally, yes - again, very right on the interest rate. I had a by-owner situation, where I proposed a balloon after, 6 years. Then I pumped literally every dime I owned into my payments. By the time the balloon was due, the house was paid. The owner said they’d never seen someone pull it off, and they hadn’t intended to really sell the property but rather assumed I would get 1/2 way through the payments and not be able to pay the balloon. They’ve done this with the property a couple times where they allowed people to do a rent-to-own type situation, and in the end nobody paid it off, so they got to keep the money and the house.

No it’s not. Typical car holds $35ish worth of gas, and that lasts 4-5 days of travel to/from work. And I lose an hour a day for a 30-ish minute drive. Woo…

Edit: Okay, so I can understand European pricing being stupid here. I can agree with you when it comes to gas over there. But the population density is twice as dense over there as it is in America, so obviously arguments aren’t based on European gas prices. I left my comments but leave it able to be read. I’m not one to shy away from being wrong. In your instance, with gas like it is over there, I concede.

If you checked my other replies, you’d know I had cancer at 26, and that I’m living with disabilities too. But hey, anything to shirk responsibility for yourself. And no, auction cars aren’t “barely functional” either. Most of them last me 100k+ miles. Usually they’re at auction because they were a drug dealers car, and police ripped out the interior, but otherwise run fine.

It’s fairly clear that not only are you inexperienced with the world, but you also don’t CARE to gain the experience by applying yourself. Even when people give you solutions, you reply with excuses.

I understand. It took me getting literal CANCER to get me off my ass and applying myself. It wasn’t until I understood my own mortality that I was scared into action.

I bought my cars at auction for like $2.5kish. They have them all the time between 60k-160k miles on them. Look at your local car auction, you don’t have to pay a $600/mo loan on a car as well.

I didn’t live elsewhere while I did the work. You don’t have to, you just have to slum it for a while.

Yet…again… First time home buyers programs take care of that. Also the reason I said that people need to get fixed rate mortgages if they’re going that route. You’re an idiot if you get an adjustable APR.

Buy a house that needs major work. Do the damn work. That was the only way I could afford mine, and if I can do it, so can you. And stop living in the city, live out in the rural areas.
