A /8 subnet is basically everything after the first of the four segments, e.g. 127.*.*.*. marine_mustang was saying that loopback (what you think of as only 127.0.0.1) is actually an entire subnet, so any address that starts with 127 will hit the loopback interface. TIL, never thought about it much before.

Use Firefox + uBlock origin for your own sanity. Don’t let big tech make you feel guilty for not going along with their game.

100% this and also, consider allow-listing specific sites which deserve your support, or better yet, contribute directly if you can – e.g. your local bike club forum, your local newspaper, a blogger whose work you enjoy, etc., assuming of course, the ads are reasonable.

Amazon did the same thing with Prime, changed everyone to an ad-infested plan for the same price and created a new, ad-free tier for a higher price, and claims this change isn't a price increase.

Spotify did the same thing when they raised everyone's prices but started bundling audiobooks with music, but left behind the old, audio-book free plan for the old price without telling anyone.

I don't feel bad for pirating as long as the middlemen of media continue to pull underhanded tactics like this.

I've heard ICF (insulated concrete foam) construction is pretty durable.

Would a UV filtering lens help? Do solar cells generate more power from certain parts of the light spectrum?

A highly respected school teacher of mine was known to say, "Say what you mean; mean what you say."

I haven't tried it yet, but I've seen massive lists of trackers floating around that you can add to your torrents, in case the same torrent is indexed on other trackers, but the torrent file you downloaded doesn't know to search them.

It appears on my instance, FWIW.
