255 gives 0-255, which gives you a zero value. 256 is 1-256, you lose the option of setting 0.

It really has. I had always tried to use Linux in the past, but gaming was always a fight, and the OS just never felt like it behaved reliable for daily usage for me, was always some little annoyance or bug or issue I'd run into and in

There is a Windows build for it. I don't know if it's official or not, but there is a Windows build and it does work well.

My only tip isn't really useful. Just avoid going to that hostile country for now. Unless there's a specific necessity. And if that's the case, then change all your social media accounts info, change the name, change birthdat

Vivaldi is what I use. uBlock works fine with it. I have no issues with content loading or anything weird. I just describe it as "chrome, but if someone actually cared about the UI and functionality", and the mouse gestures are su

Genuine question here: what's the actual benefits of blocking icmp? Not asking "Why should I leave it on", I'm specifically asking for legitimate valid use cases for disabling it. I really can only think of one, abd that

Same for me, I've entirely abandoned google's search engine. It's become rapidly more useless to the point where it's just become a search engine for their ad servers, to browse what ads and garbage is in their database

Adblock. You can selectively block elements from sites. I've blocked shorts from it and honestly forgot how annoying it was until these comments. Just right click, block element, preview before applying, make sure you don't butche

As someone with decades of search engine experience, it's mainly knowing key words and exact phrases to use as well as excludes to filter out garbage. It's a bit hard to teach/explain in a single post, but if you search baste

I use a variety of mostly search engines that get me an answer much faster. Google/Bing frequently point to sites/articles written by AI anyway. Using a LLM directly often gives too much garbage and doesn't often stick to jus

I enjoy traveling a lot. Specifically traveling. Not arriving and staying somewhere, not vacationing, not sight seeing. Traveling has always been a fun experience to me. The road trip, the adventure part of a vacation. Spend a day or two to

My goal of the cameras, which my neighbours know about, is not protecting me. It's protecting us. I point cameras at their houses, at their doors & driveways from my property. Why? Because they can't install a camera on my hou

It should always show its current state. If a button is doubling as a status display, it needs to display current status, that's the entire point of a button doubling as displaying information. Would you flip a breaker to the "ON&

That isn't my interpretation, nor did I ever make that statement. That IS infact a valid definition of copyright infringement. The source material is copyrighted and you're making a literal copy of it via photocopier. I don't

Because if I can rewrite my printer to not intentionally be a total piece of shit, the company gets less money by intentionally expiring or wasting ink, DRM locking ink cartridge brands, or "service needed" bricking the device aft

Most pet owners are well aware of the info in these articles. It's obvious my cat can think, learn, remember, and recall. When she wants attention, she comes to me, pats her paw against me for my attention, and then hops into my lap or

I just shop at AliExpress instead of Amazon. All the same exact stuff, but typically half to a tenth of the cost. I just have to settle with longer shipping times, which is fine, if I need something now-now, I can just go buy it locally.

That's how I already use reddit. I tried their mobile app and it was so garbage I just use it in browser in desktop mode to avoid the annoying "Reddit is better on mobile" lie that I had to click past every time. I really don

I just apply to every job I find interesting. Of the 7 job agency locations I've been through, zero have found me any work, they've been nothing but a useless waste of time. I have a 16 page master resume I tailor back down to 2-3

GPUs are doing the same thing. Every generation does bring more efficiency, but also includes an increase of power consumption. I'd like to see a line that aims to reduce power consumption by a meager amount (1-5%) each generation, whi

This is what I was wondering. I'm taking a wild guess that maybe they don't have that level of firewall access and it was being done through filtering by the webserver to provide an access denied.

by DigitallyFidget 4y ago
But why bother with deny? Just send a blank text file (or one with as minimal data as needed to satisfy the rogue adblock) to the "blocked IPs" to mitigate the traffic for now. If firewall access exists, just drop the offending in

Twitter is full of fortune telling experts who gaze into the crystal ball to predict the future (horribly inaccurately).

For me, it's not the MSRP cost, it's that they've thrown power efficiency out the window entirely. It'd be like that automaker's flagship car getting only 2 miles per gallon on highways. Granted, that comparison mak

This isn't news to me at all. For ATM/Pin pads, I wipe my fingers across every button as I press in the code, so it obscures what was actually pressed, and linger fingers on keys not even in my pin code. With enough practice, it d
