Ugh, I wish my wife would see this. She's been complaining that she couldn't open her Google search results because the links go through some adserver PiHole is blocking (probably their sponsored links). I put her phone on the "don't block anything at all" list and she's been happy ever since 🤷

Do you trust Vivaldi despite it beeing closed source? I get that you mistrust Mozilla since they integrated AI but there are plenty of forks that cut the AI part and even are explicitly privacy focused.

I am using DuckDNS and it's working perfectly for me. I use the DynDNS feature of my Fritz!Box to update my DuckDNS-IP. The documentation on their website is spot-on for me, even for my IPv6 and I never had any issues with DuckDNS.

What I like most about the service is the possibility to use subdomains like my-service.my-username.duckdns.org. I don't know whether this is a commong feature or not.

When you had problems updating your IP Adresse did you consider that DNS information takes some time to propagate through the internet? I think it is not guaranteed that you can access a recently changed domain.

How did you test your DuckDNS entries?

Although my little fun fact doesn't apply to THIS flywheel generator, I recently learned, that flywheel generators are used all over Europe to stabilise the Continental Europe Synchronous Area: They are constantly kept spinning and because of their inertia they level any voltage drops and peaks they encounter. Learning this blew my mind because I never would've thought that such a simple technology was used to stabilise our electricity grid.

Huh? I mean... I agree that a lot of people in this thread act surprisingly hostile to you but I wasn't even referring to those people, just trying to give an answer to your question, that feels kinda underrepresented in this thread: We're all wired differently and need different forms and levels of stimulus to function properly. 🤷

Even though I am listening to podcasts almost all the time I am outside, doing groceries, commuting, running errands, I can totally get that there are people whose brains are wired differently than mine that need what you might describe as auditory monotony because listening to familiar sounds in a familiar surrounding gives then safety and is easier on their brains.

I don't find this surprising because most people need some degree of routines or rituals to function so I don't see why this human tendency to reduce complexity (see: Niklas Luhmann) wouldn't apply to what you're listening or not listening to.

This doesn't have to do anything with brain rot, just that brains work differently and need different stimuli.

Did you, by chance, read "Children of Time" by Adrian Tchaikovsky? 😬

When Ant-Man grows to giant size, a breeze would blow him away.

Wait what? Is that canon? I only watched the movies. Growing in size but not increasing your mass proportionally sounds like a shitty super power because you would probably still punch like a normal human.

Also: Drool... My kids chewed on my more time than I can count....

Wouldn't it be great if Rheinmetall were socialized and its profits went to the public instead of shareholders?

Will they? That would be awesome but I haven't found any information on that.

I am pretty sure he stepped down to protect his parliamentary group. If he hadn't taken one for the team the AfD would've scandalised this topic even more and may have damaged the SPD and / or the Green party.
