Part of the identity crises that comes with(out) religion is the ultimate question of purpose: why are we suffering, surely it has a reason? Some of us are content to accept that there is no purpose, and therefore we must define our own; others need a purpose greater than themselves and/or to have one defined for them, and look to religion for that purpose. There is no right answer, and the struggle of identity and purpose are well documented in religion, fiction, history, and philosophy.

I was about to say something like this, hands on work is really satisfying when you can see the results in front of you, and even show them off as well!

Even for those us who fit into the straight/white/cis mould, learning how to create purpose and meaning for yourself is a really hard battle against expectations imposed growing up. Thanks for sharing a really wholesome story :)

For secure data destruction, either pay for it to be done properly, or create your own way of doing it. A decent sized drill bit can do all the work for you, at the cost of a new drive of course.

Get some icing and draw the boss on it, would look awesome I bet

To anyone who believes this person is wrong, why are you not then moderating instead? Someone has to, and a good mod who knows nothing on the topic is better than a bad mod who’s an expert.

That’s more or less my understanding, a nerd knows a lot of useless random facts, but a geek will tell them to you whether you asked or not.

Been having issues with Google/Reddit etc. lately as well on Proton, managed to get around it by switching to a new IP subnet. It’s likely they’ve just blocked IPs with malicious users behind them, which sucks for the rest of us.

It’s also that a bunch of them have private blocklists, but have agreed to the fedipact (seen with :onhover) and therefore have

I went in with a 4 year degree, the other grad next to me went in with a 6 month kinda masters. You can pull it off if you try hard enough and know your shit, wish I’d known that before I wasted so long at uni.

(Intel)[https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005511/wireless.html) has a list of compatible cards and their drivers which may help, follow the instructions and reboot to run usually.

If it’s an adaptor there’s odds it’s not designed for it, I had issues with a USB mounted adaptor myself.

The key to good conversation is finding something interesting in what they say and delving into it. Why did they go there? What did they like about it? Where are they going next?

The key to boring conversation is the opposite, short answers with no room to navigate. Oh, I guess. Thats nice. Not much really.

It takes a while to kick habits, the feeling of “who the fuck will ever see this comment” keeps stopping me from posting half the time. At least on Lemmy there’s plenty of chance someone will.

The public part of it would be the RSA pubkey, likely linked with an identifier such as the SHA-256 hash of the email. You could quite easily have that ledger public and it would take millennia to crack any of the emails, much easier to use fuzzing with common words and names than trying wasting computing power for a single email. The whole point of blockchain is that it’s an immutable public ledger which would actually suit this idea quite well.

I’d honestly say the confusion between what communities are worth subscribing to is one of the worst blocks for me. Sure, /c/ exists, but what server should I go to? What communities are there? What ones are actually active? It’s not as easy as reddit was, and if it’s annoyed me then it’s definitely stopped another 10 people from bothering with lemmy :/ Edit: also, ty for the suggestion
