Do you know which Jack is your favourite? You should have a contest determine your favourite Jack. A Jack-Off, if you will.

WFM. Looks like you're using Let's Encrypt, which is fine, and everything seems to be consistent. I think you're good.

Ah, yes, GPLv3, exquisite choice.

JFC. I knew that show was bad, but I honestly feel like I'm thicker from having watched that. You can't just post shit like that without warning.

I don’t know why but I thought they were some special inaccessible computers.

It's their marketing. Marketing, marketing, bullshit and marketing. Macs get viruses, Macs have vulnerabilities, Macs crash. Doesn't matter how much their indoctrinated fans might claim otherwise, Macs are just weird PCs. In that context, their refusal to allow their owners to control them is all the more jarring and makes owning the older models like you mentioned all the more sensible.

Known as the Praxis Effect amongst movie nerds or, in the Homestar Runner universe, "those blast-wavey Saturn rings that have become so popular lately."

"You're about two kilometers outside the anomaly."

"Chuck."

"I'm sorry, what?"

"The anomaly. I named the anomaly 'Chuck'."

"NEVER name the anomalies. That's how you get hurt."

That was actaully a brick joke in the first episode of Archer. Here's the first part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahObgDYU58E

The phrase "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" was coined to mock the sort asanine bullshit that grifters spouted, and eventually those same grifters started to use it unironically and without any self-awareness.

Interesting to see "trust me bro" get the same treatment.

This is really niche, but most organisations have a Microsoft Active Directory, or equivalent, that tracks users, their credentials, and their permissions. The sign of a bad AD admin: permissions directly applied to user objects without any intermediary objects or abstraction in AD.

These water fountains flow constantly with fresh drinking water for anyone to use and they are everywhere in Rome. Covering the spout with your finger forces the water out a hole on top, creating a arch of water at perfect 𝓼𝓵𝓾𝓻𝓹𝓲𝓷𝓰 height. The Romans were/are with us.

Does anyone know a way of calculating the amount of heating I need to maintain an average temperature in terms of kWh of heating per 24 hours? Ideally one taking into account weather conditions.

I have a pretty big Home Assistant setup which includes switches for individually controlling all the (electric) heaters in my home. I'm also using an electricity supplier that changes the amount they charge every 30 minutes to reflect supply and demand. Given these rates are published at least 24 hours in advance I can currently choose a number of hours to run the heaters per day and have an automation automatically select the cheapest periods. I'm paying less per kWh for heating than I would if I was using a gas boiler. Plus, it's all from renewables, so working out that number of hours is the next step.
