They can leech all the data they want from my employer. I don't give a fuck. Never use company assets for personal business as an addendum.

Just be a little more careful with your own stuff, s'all.

It's a variation of the same scam: https://youtu.be/5M5MF6KE-jY?si=7odXF_9q2SkumX7X

Betavolt seems to be just using those flashy 3D renders of a battery that likely doesn't exist. It wouldn't surprise me if their datasheets mirror what was claimed by NDB.

Meh, I didn't mean to hate on DHCP. It's just a service I have learned to keep running all by itself somewhere in a dark corner of my network. DNS and DHCP are just services that I don't like going down. Ever.

I just got the Pixel 8 Pro and the lack of rounded edges is nice. However, even with the Spiegen liquid air case that doesn't cover the bezel completely, I am having some problems still reaching the edges of the screen in scenarios where I want to select text. That aside, it's rarely an issue. (I just moved up from a Pixel 6 Pro that had rounded edges.)

I switched to the Hyperion launcher and got rid of the Google search bar on the home screen recently too. Trying to de-google, or at least, reduce Google intrusiveness has been fairly easy. (De-googling a Pixel is fairly moot, I know.)

Psychedelics are awesome. If you don't have much experience with them, keep it to a moderate dose. I eat mushrooms quite a bit and a single dose at +5g would rock my world still.

In a healthy environment with a healthy mindset, you can discover a ton about yourself and how your mind works. Or, you can just have fun and socialize.

I use mushrooms medicinally and recreationally. If I want to chill and meditate I can. If I want to be social and have fun, I can. Regardless of my mood, they have been an awesome tool for managing my anxiety, social anxiety and depression. Best of all, it has been a key component in my recovery from alcoholism.

They are not for everyone, unfortunately. If you are not prepared for an accidental high dosage, it can be challenging. (There is so much variability in mushrooms, it can happen. Not so much with with substances like LSD.)

DHCP is a really stupid* service for the most part. Unless you are working with multiple subnets or have some very specific settings you need to pass to your clients, it's probably not worth it to manage it yourself. I don't want to discourage you though! Assigning static IP addresses by MAC can be extremely useful and is not always an option on routers. If you want static names and dynamic addresses, that is really where you need to manage both DNS and DHCP. It really depends on how and where you want names to be resolved and what you are trying to accomplish. (*stupid as in, it's a really simple service. You want it simple because when DHCP breaks, you have other serious issues going on.)

Setting up your own DNS is worth its weight in gold. You can put it just about anywhere on your network (before your gateway, after, in China, whatever.) and your network won't even know the difference if setup correctly. You can point BIND at the root servers and bypass your ISP completely if you want. ISP DNS services suck ass, so regardless of you resolve yourself, or forward all name queries to your anon DNS server of choice you have a really decent level of control on your network. It is the service to learn if you want to keep an eye on where your network wants to talk.

Your Unifi USG must play nice with your own server, by the laws of DNS. There may be some nuances when it comes to internal protocols like WINS, but other than that, it should be just fine.

I would setup a simple VM somewhere first, to answer your actual question. It's good practice to keep core services isolated on their own, dedicated instances. This is to speed up recovery time and minimize down time. Even on your home network, DNS and DHCP are services you do not want going down. It's always a pain when they do go down.

I don't think it's been ignored. Birth control pills for men would be a massive money maker. (Here is a recent article I found on BC for men: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/male-contraceptive-disables-sperm)

While I am speaking way outside my confort zone here, it seems magnitudes harder to effectively disable millions of sperm and their associated production as opposed to simply knocking a woman's hormone balance a little out of whack to prevent ovulation.

The bigger question is being ignored though: If we have to inject our scrotum with a gel, where are we going to store our pee?????

That's cool if you are lucky enough to find them and identify them correctly. P. cubensis does OK on poo, but it does great with just some coco coir instead. It's a mushroom that loves to be cultivated. The Pacific North West is really the ideal location for finding wild mushrooms. (You can find them all over the place, but there is a ton of luck involved.)

Honestly, I would rather forage for p. semilanceata, aka, Liberty Cap. It grows in regular grass next to streams or ponds and not necessarily in poo. They are generally a bit stronger but also a bit smaller. With the exception of one look-alike that I know about, they are easier to identify.

Ah yeah. The good ol' ayahuasca blends.

DMT is too short-acting, unfortunately. Florida man went to mall on PCP, most likely.

If there is anything that Florida needs more of, it's DMT. That, and any other psychedelics they can get. Having everyone in the state take breakthrough dosages might do the world some good.
