Alkaline batteries are the crappy ones that leak. Get the more expensive lithium batteries, or go full on rechargeable ones, and you can leave them in without worrying about your device getting ruined.

    Somewhat related, I'm so annoyed that my USB 3.0 SATA adapter doesn't pass S.M.A.R.T. data. Didn't even think to check for such a deficiency. Just another thing to watch out for when buying these adapters.

    Here's a neat trick to imagine what it could feel like. Close both of your eyes. You see darkness, right? Now close one eye and leave the other one open. You don't really "see" anything out of that closed eye at all. There's no darkness. There's just nothing there.

    I saw that some blind people actually have difficulties falling asleep. Because they cant see the sun, their circadian rhythm and they're sleep/wake signals are all out of sync.

    Apparently all that data is included in the ActivityPub protocol. On Kbin, every post has an Activity button that shows every user (even those on other instances) that upvoted/downvoted/saved that post. So if a Lemmy post happens to federate to Kbin, all that info can be seen publicly by anyone.

    Look up the instructions for your mail provider to set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records in your DNS so email services know which emails sent from your domain are actually legit. Without those records telling email servers what's valid and how to handle what's not, it's basically the Spiderman pointing at Spiderman meme.
