Move it behind a random string (i.e. https://yourdomain.com/gd5mka93) and leave something simple and inoccuoua at the root.

But then you are losing the ability to use it for file sharing ala Google Drive or Dropbox.

I simply moved mine behing a random string with the home of the domain completely innocuous (an HTML re-direct elsewhere)


Then all you need is a good recording and decent headphones

A good recording and a sound system which can move the exact amount of air that the engine has moved, to be precise.

One of the best investments I ever made was in ordering a set of dimming LED stickers from Lightdims.com

I went throught my whole house adding them to powerbars, routers, toothbrushes, smoke detectors, etc. I even found the exact of location to put one over the motion detector on my Ecobee thermostats so they wouldn't light up everytime you walked by. I swear my house is about 1000% calmer than it would be without them.


Very nice, thanks! I was thinking of gluing baking paper over the most annoying LEDs as diffusers but these are much less of a kludge.

For anyone else seeing this, they ship to most countries for 99 cents so it's not the usual $29.95 for Fedex shipping on a packet of stickers. I'd seen similar ones on Aliexpress in the past but they're just light-blocking dots, not dimming ones.


I assume you are using Linux. Did you do the advanced install to enable S3 hibernation?


Advanced install of what?

I didn't do "advanced install" of anything on my previous Dell XPS (which was bad for other reasons) but my battery could easily hold 4+ days.

Also I don't need (S4) hibernation, I'm talking about standby (I meant S3, "save to ram").


After trying all the alternatives I can say that Kdenlive has become my goto for video editing. It's so great to see the team adding amazing new features and optimizing sub-systems. Well done.


Worth also noting that on a per capita basis China aren't even in the top ten.


While it's true that China is currently responsible for the largest share of CO2 emissions at least their output is trending down:

See https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-chinas-co2-emissions-ha...


And, it's important to understand why they're emitting some of that CO2: Western wallets demanding foreign produced goods, because Western society collectively, and enthusiastically, pushed manufacturing to China.


It's more important to understand why they're emitting so much of that CO2 - because a lot of people in China need to eat and have a roof over their heads.

Any analysis that fails to take per-capita into account is not made in good faith.


China has a large population but so does India. Don't forget that China is the world's factory and that's where a very large chunk of CO2 emissions come from.


My point is that if you pay a factory in China to make something for you, then the CO2 produced in that process would be more appropriately added to your total, rather than theirs, because it was you were the direct and only reason it was produced.


I pin "Note To Self" in Signal and drop important stuff there. For less important stuff I have a Matrix room on my own server.
