shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit , (edited ) to Asklemmy in What is the point of nicotine patches?

Hey @turnerpike20 OP, I saw this on Reddit and thought of you:

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1dluz2r/comment/l9rlakb

That I was more addicted to the breaks and deep breathing than I was to the nicotine.

...

Yes! Because what do you do when you smoke? You go outside and take intentional deep breaths and it relaxes you. So, I kept my full routine of breaks when I needed, went outside and took intentional deep breaths. Just this time without a cigarette. Quitting was SO EASY this time and zero cravings. Because it turns out, she was right.

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit , to Asklemmy in what invisible thing could set off my smoke detector?

I need to replace a set of expired smoke detector at my elderly parents' house. They're too old to have alarms going off in the middle of the night just because the wind blows.

Yet, Amazon only seem to sell ones with photo-electric sensors, and many reviews complain about over-sensitivity with dust, and under-sensitivity when the room is clearly full of smoke.

Additionally, the ones with sealed 10 year batteries - many reviews report a battery life of 2 years or so in practice, with increased false positives as battery life runs down. So now, they have to replace whole units rather than just batteries.

What happened to good old ionizing smoke detectors with 9v batteries that needed replacing every 2 years or so?!

In the UK, the ads for these patches also say "requires willpower". From what you've written, it sounds like that's the part of the process you need to find in you. Good luck!

I was with Three for years. It started off great, but the data throughput got worse and worse, and the prices went up every year.

I wanted EE without paying for EE, and I'm now with 1p Mobile for about a year and it's been perfect.

I've read that the only way to get 'actual' EE is to sign up for an EE contract then hope that you can beat them down on a retention deal when you're out of contract.

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit , to Asklemmy in Who else wakes up and has to blow their nose or clear their airways every morning and why?

I've found cleaning my nose before bed has helped - remove the day's snot and boogers rather than sleep with it!

Libre Cloud's head office is a unit on an industrial estate: 82A James Carter Rd,

(Update: it's a virtual office address, which doesn't really inspire confidence for me)

They probably colocate at data centres.

Personally, I'm on Hetzner's Storage Share (Nextcloud but without Collabora), and I'd prefer to trust my data to them: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share/

Regardless of your choice, I definitely agree that nextcloud rocks.

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit , to Asklemmy in Are you registered to donate your organs? Why or why not?

I like the system in Singapore. Organ donation is mandatory, though you can complete a form to opt out. If you're on the opt-out register, you have a lower priority to receive organ transplants. Fair is fair.

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit , to Asklemmy in What file formats, technologies, techniques do you think would benefit most people by being more common? Or that people would benefit by being more aware of?

Yes for zstd. Here's a comparison:

Trying to work out why this is a good idea. Please could you explain why?

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit , to Asklemmy in any headphones with good noise reduction?

Get a used pair of good headphones, buy new replacement ear pads off eBay/AliExpress.

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit , to Asklemmy in What is your favorite form of potato?

Chunky chips, McFries, wedges, in a curry, in a soup, roast cubes, ROAST POTATOES!!

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit , to Selfhosted in [Question] RaspPi5 with Pi-Hole, Tailscale and Traefik

Pi-hole (or my preference Adguard Home) is great for devices connected to your home network. For your phone, go with Blokada (free) or Adguard (iOS, Android, paid - see Stacksocial for occasional license deals) - that'll cover you at home and out of home.

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit , to Asklemmy in If the order of events were different, what might we be calling smartphones?

Sinclair ZX Hand-Computer.

Watch 'The Wire' - the good guys are bad guys, bad guys are good guys. It's all mixed up!
