@lucas3d this page has some helpful guidance, and even offers you a random subnet suggestion at the end of the page! I like 172.16., personally, as I find 192.168. and 10. Seem to be used everywhere. While 10. technically has many subnets to hide in, some networks seem to think they need to use the whole range (10.0.0.0/8), which can still cause issues. https://blog.benjojo.co.uk/post/picking-unused-rfc1918-ip-space

@neurovagrant I used to write “please check photo ID” on the back of my credit cards, back before chip/pin was common. About half of the time, people didn’t even look at the signaure section. Another common reaction was turning the card over to see the “signature” (which clearly looked nothing like what I just signed), and promptly ignore it.

Sometimes, just sometimes, they’d actually look, and ask me for ID (yay!). I had one place insist that I sign the receipt with “please check photo ID”. And no, they didn’t check my ID.

@eff oh, well. It was fun while it lasted. Unfollowing…

“Another, and make it a double!” He said, sliding his glass toward the barman.

“Don’t you think you’ve had enough?”

The question obviously riled the disheveled patron, who locked eyes with the barman.

“My executive team asked me today how we can leverage AI as part of our quantum strategy,” he began. “We don’t even have an asset register.”

“My god. This one’s a triple, and it’s on the house.”

@fsf serious question: what’s the alternative phone option today for the “average” person? If I did a find/replace for apple/google on this post, it’s almost still all true. Sure, I can get a (Google) Pixel and install a de-googled Android OS (made by Google), but this is hardly reasonable for most people.

I love the idea of a truely “free” phone (librephone?), but if that doesn’t exist today, what good is telling Apple I’m going to boycott their devices… one day… when there’s alternatives… ?

@viraptor Beers! Beers! Beers! (And apologies to @hacks4pancakes - if you’re not familiar, search for “meanwhile in Australia” or Jimmy Rees on YouTube…)
@hacks4pancakes rule two we’re sometimes flexible on: Depending on the situation, we may hand you beer.
