I have this friend that I invite over sometimes, but he has this habit of extending that invite to mutual friends without telling me, and so I’ll suddenly have 2 or 3 people rocking up to my place unexpectedly.

It drives me absolutely bananas. It was supposed to be a low-key hang out and now I have to come up with group activities on the spot.

Easily the assholes on motorbikes who go out of their way to be as noisy as possible and cause a whole row of houses to vibrate tangibly.

At my last place I used to wake up 2-3 times a night from this.

I actually totally agree with this; I just think the solution is holding these companies to account rather than forcing all users to submit very personal identification.

I think you’re imagining the difference between them from a technological point of view to be much bigger than it actually is.

I have debit and credit cards, Visa and Mastercard for both. Using them feels identical; one draws from your bank account balance and the other goes towards an invoice sent to you at the end of the month.

When you pay with them, the vendors themselves don’t see any private information about you, other than the card number and the way your name is written on the card. Some of my cards only have my first initial and my last name.

They can, however, track that card number across multiple purchases or with partners to build a profile.

Visa and Mastercard themselves can see a lot more, but that’s a given if you use any kind of banking services anyway.

In terms of where they’re accepted, I’ve used them all over the world and the only time it mattered which type I use, is this one flight where Ryanair was not accepting debit when I was trying to buy water… Somehow you have to borrow money to eat/drink on board, which is just silly.

I grew up with the Internet of the noughties and saw some screwed up stuff. That should have been on my parents, but I turned out okay anyway.

Canada’s just the latest to join the mass surveillance club.

I talk to myself when I am thinking, especially if what I am thinking about relates to emotional processing. I have never recorded myself doing this, but I don’t think I vocalise complete sentences. While I’m processing, I repeat a contextually relevant word or phrase over and over again, even if I think I’ve moved past it in my head.

I find myself doing this in public sometimes (whoops), but with silent mouth movements. Earphones help me avoid looking dodgy or like I’m hallucinating.

Having additional virtual network interfaces on VMs is completely normal, ens18 does indeed sound like the right one you should be looking at.

Seconding the other commenter who mentioned the possibility of a second DHCP server.

Is your Proxmox host wired via ethernet to the pfsense? Or are there WiFi APs in the mix anywhere

I am also very confused. The only interpretation that makes sense to me is the list of started/not yet completed tasks, vs. the list of things that were actually followed through to completion. But that is not at all how they’re labelled.

I get where you’re coming from, but I also think some general traits that people can have are more common in people with autism.

Not everything is either definitively autistic or definitively just a trait.

I frequently find myself evaluating what parts of myself I can ascribe to autism versus just a facet of my personality. On the off chance that you have a manual that helps with this delineation, please send it my way!

I haven’t been able to post to reddit in years now, because I refuse to browse it without a VPN, and while it still lets me in, any account that I make immediately gets shadowbanned as soon as I make a post or a comment.

I can’t tell if it’s because their bot filter is just terribly implemented, or because they don’t want me on their platform if I don’t surrender my public IP address.

I’m pretty sure they just use a “how many different accounts under the same public IP” type of logic, because even if I create an account on a 4G network (no VPN) and post, this happens. Cellular networks often use double NAT (unique internal/carrier IP, shared public IP) to avoid allocating a public IP to each mobile device.

I’ve given up a long time ago. My only exposure to reddit now is when a search results page links me to a post. The most helpful stuff is usually from a decade ago or earlier.
