Spinning up and down hard drives repeatedly drastically reduces their lifespan though. Once a day or so, fine, but if you set a 30 minute idle time or something and it spins them down a dozen times per day, you are putting acceleration forces on the drive many more times than intended.

If you have to buy a new HDD twice as often because you spin it down, any financial or environmental savings is instantly negated and in the end it is much, much worse in both respects.

My girlfriend has an A52 and her dad had an A23 (or whatever 3rd gen low-tier but not the cheapest).

Both of them regularly, from day 1 have lost cellular signal or 4G/5G signal, and my girlfriend even had to get a new sum card because the A52 simply refused to use it and she was "stuck" in the middle of nowhere with no GPS and no map and no cellular to call someone because of her Samsung phone.

They both barely worked as a phone for a long time. My xperia 5ii had a problem of losing 4G every once in a while until I turned airplane mode on and off again.

My point is that most phones, regardless of manufacturer, have shit signal or intermittent cellular problems, that vary from device to device. n=1 anecdotes are a pretty bad metric of saying whether a phone is good or not. Manufacturers should be required to publish standardized volume testing.

Not to mention that all new Samsung's come with forced Israeli spyware that you can't uninstall.

That has actually been picking up steam on social media if I remember.

The idea is that you have a bar of soap + a harder bristled brush (IKEA sells cheap ones but there are probably BIFL ones) and then you just froth up some soap on the brush with one hand and then use it to scrub the dishes.

I think those people used special soap formulations though that weren't just a dove bar

The US does the same thing too, just in the past year.

The US government banned ICE gestapo surveillance apps and apps that would bring the community together and warn of incoming kidnappings, also a video aggregation app or something for documenting ICE crimes.

Which is funny because wool producers very often barely get paid enough to cover the cost of transporting their wool to sell it to suppliers. Their profit margins must be insane.

If you are hosting other things with it, then a reverse proxy like Caddy or Traefik + crowdsec is pretty much as good as you are going to get and you can add region blocking on your router (if that feature is available) or if you use cloudflare as a proxy.

If you want to go really crazy, you can put authelia/Authentik in front of it, depending on what else you host.

CrowdSec could probably catch a moderate amount of them, but that is really geared towards bad actors and malicious probing bots.

Fial2ban also wouldn't work at all here since they aren't trying brute force attacks, they are just using high bandwidth stealing as much public data from everything possible.

I think cloudflare is also making an alternative (or has already), but it is a tough problem.

Yeah my favorite electronics hobby supplies website has started to take 2-10 seconds to load. Still great service and the best selection of modules in my region though. They should really throw Anubis in front of it.

Wouldn't the only really possible "cleanse" be something like water fasting or similar since you wouldn't be taking in more of the so-called "toxins" (well I guess it does technically exist like alcohol but that gets metabolized)?

So many good features!

Showing the attachment plane of a sketch is such a great feature for complex parts!

Also I can finally get rid of my 3 point lighting macros.

I can't wait for it to hit the main flatpak repo.

Can it be scaled up or down in size easily? Like can Palantir make very small versions to crawl into our ears and explode or some other comically bond-villian type or thing they love to do? 😂
