The interior of your house is hot, the exterior cool. What would the most efficient orientation be for a box fan? Pushing hot air out of a window or pulling cool air in through it? (Solved)* in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

It's called the linguini effect.

It baffles me that they sell Chrome as private and/or secure, and baffles me even more that people believe them.

Traditionally, no. Under this new umbrella term, anything can count if you squint your eyes right.

It certainly makes it hard for me, as a fan of actual games like Rogue, to find said games when the genre is so flooded with literally every other game out there.

That's the weird thing is that what people call a "roguelike" now is just what pretty much every game was back in the day.

The theory that we live in a simulation involves simulants running their own simulations; wouldn't that require impossibly more resources for the main sim? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

"Turing Completeness" != "Turing Test"

Sorry to go on a well-trodden tangent, but it really is unfortunate how diluted the term "roguelike" has become.

I assume this is a joke?

Has anyone successfully set up tortoise-tts before? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] kakes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

I had it running on Windows (no container) a while back. Wasn't particularly difficult at that time, at least.

Can't give any advice here though, since all we've been given to work with is an OS.

Can't say we as a species have a great history of granting rights to others.

I also enjoy "1010! Klooni" on F-Droid.

First one coming to mind for me is Pillar Hop. Very simple, chill, and just had ads iirc (I block them, but I'm pretty sure it does, anyway.)

Dynamic DNS vs Dedicated VPN IP (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hi everyone!

I'm looking into self-hosting, and I currently have dynamic DNS set up to point to my home IP.

My question: is it worth getting a dedicated IP through a VPN?

I'm pretty technically savvy, but when it comes to networking I lack practical experience. My thought is that pointing my domain to a dedicated IP and routing that traffic to my home IP would be safer - especially if I only allow traffic on certain ports from that IP. Just curious if that idea holds up in practice, or if it's not worth the effort.
