As others say, buy a domain so it’s easier in the future.

But one thing what helped me was relay email addresses. Whether that’s Addy, Simplelogin (now owned by proton so probably not), Firefox Relay, or another. When you sign up to shit, buy something, etc, use one of these email addresses. When you eventually move to your new email address, you can cutover all those accounts to the new one by changing the settings for where it forwards email to.

You can also use your own domain with a catchall and make up your own whatever@yourdomain if you’re ready for that.

Like for picking locks?

I’m gonna disagree on the vacuum. A corded one has a cord, and cords are annoying as hell for vacuuming.

The right battery vacuum is great for grabbing and vacuuming in little bursts instead of making a big thing out of it.

Btw Lemmy/Piefed let you sort by “active” which is loosly the function for a post to rise to the top when someone comments on it (it does rabk with votes too so it’s not 1:1)

Can’t believe they killed her off so early on!

Yes. I cancelled almost 2 years ago hoping they would improve by the time it was up but now I only have a month left to sort a new service 😭

If it’s something like my example, then they will generally just charge for the main meal as swapping fries for mashed potato is pretty cost neutral. If you start adding bacon that’s a different story.

Lol apparently New Zealand is joining those ranks. Along with an app to pay.

I have an uncle that orders stuff not on the menu. Like ordering part of one meal and part of another (e.g. if the menu had “steak and fries” and “sausages and mashed potato” he might order steak with mashed potato).

95% of the time they can make what he’s asking for, and it blows people’s minds as they don’t even realise they can do that.

Realistically it doesn’t need to request the DNS record every time. It’s probably retrying over and over because you blocked it, otherwise it would just cache the result for a while.

I remember some huge number of blocked requests when I set up my pihole, but eventually they calmed down as devices gave up their retrying.
