  • How do Alcoholic recovery programs work in Muslim countries where alcohol is banned?

    Jump

  • Many drugs that cause nicotine cessation also work for other addictive drugs, including alcohol. Off the top of my head...

    • Chantix (and buproprion)
    • NAC
    • Tirzepatide and Semaglutide
    • Buperenorphine
    • Acamprosate
    • Disulfiram (sp?)
    • Psychedelics (if used properly)

    While we're on the subject, the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, Bill W, said the help of LSD was integral to his development of AA.

  • What is a discreet way of waking myself?

    Jump

  • Why? I prefer being seen by less people. I assume companies are less likely to archive bot replies. Curious if there are reasons against it.

  • What VPN would you recommend for torrenting?

    Jump

  • Mullvad or IVPN. Some VPNs like Perfect Privacy do leak your IP via DHT and other torrent features, even when full lockdown mode is on. You can search 'torrent leak test' to verify yours doesn't. I found out with a 2nd DMCA warning from my ISP.

  • What is a discreet way of waking myself?

    Jump

  • My Fitbit Inspire 3 (cheapest fitbit, comes with 6 months Fitbit premium so you can see how your sleep is and address any issues) has alarm vibration options and it is (usually) enough to wake me. Never wakes the wife. If you sleep with her on your arm or something, then this probably won't work. They also have light alarms (goes from dark yellow to bright white over a 30 minute period) and she could wear a sleep mask.

  • How come running hard (especially when out of shape) makes your lungs feel like they are on fire?

    Jump

  • Thank you for the honesty. I'll read over it now.

  • What does Lemmy do better than Reddit?

    Jump

  • Lemmy is heavily astroturfed. There is no way Lemmy instance admins have the time or resources to do the kind of subversion detection reddit did. That's if the astroturfers aren't already running larger Lemmy instances to build them up.

    Here is one of many from reddit. Hopefully some OSINT groups start doing research on Lemmy and outing the bot networks that operate here, because it's election season in the US and it's showing.

    For example, I don't think the lemmy.world admin has the domain knowledge to detect customized Lemmy docker code that allows a hacking group to hide their accounts from admins/mods and go undetected for a very long time, until it's noticed on accident.

  • What does Lemmy do better than Reddit?

    Jump

  • Yeah... seems like most of the people here are of the younger under 25 crowd, where on Reddit that was still the case but there were a lot more adults to have full adult discussions with. I still check Lemmy but less and less.

  • How come running hard (especially when out of shape) makes your lungs feel like they are on fire?

    Jump

  • Thanks. I don't have time to read it right now, but you're certain that's a very common thing to happen? I'm overweight and have been jogging and running a lot lately. When I run hard, my nose and lungs burn. I like to sprint in intervals until I can't anymore, after jogging, and then walk for a bit. Repeat. I'm wondering if this is dangerous at all.

  • Almost every single VPN site I've ever come across is just shilling referral links for the highest paying VPNs. Even the privacy sites with old good articles, their new articles for the best VPNs/most secure/ETC are all the best paying referrals.

    VPNs are not good for anonymity. They are good for public networks, and stopping companies that are heavy on piracy to not send you DCMA warnings when you torrent. That's it. If you are actually doing criminal things (or are in a country where you're treated as a criminal) they can traffic shape and find out who you are quick. Even multihop VPN providers aren't much better.

  • Do satellites have different levels for direction they are traveling?

    Jump

  • Heard of them (UFOs sub, lots of heavy reading, skimming the physics parts) but never knew what they were. That's a great understandable explanation, and fascinating, thanks.

  • Sri Lanka ends visas for hundreds of thousands of Russians staying there to avoid war

    Jump

  • Obviously anecdotes

    That's the understatement of the cenozoic era.

  • How can I go about cracking the Android games that I own?

    Jump

  • Nothing, if you want. You can disable network permissions on play services. Google DDG first to make sure that won't break the game. Depends on what the game uses play services for... if it's some local functionality it will be fine, if it's remote functionality then it will break.

  • Sri Lanka ends visas for hundreds of thousands of Russians staying there to avoid war

    Jump

  • That's my point. Neither is Putin. Netanyahu's approval ratings are rock bottom.

  • Sri Lanka ends visas for hundreds of thousands of Russians staying there to avoid war

    Jump

  • It's the Mongols who allowed Ghengis Khan to commit his shit.

    Uh oh, now you should be worried considering his lineage is in most of us. Those damn Mongol ancestors of yours. Why were your ancestors so complicit in the rape and pillage of continents? I think that makes you complicit, too, by your logic.

    Pitchforks at the ready everyone.

  • Sri Lanka ends visas for hundreds of thousands of Russians staying there to avoid war

    Jump

  • Funny how everyone picked up on and quotes the single instance news story. Like litter boxes in school bathrooms, left-leaning edition. Let the hate flow through you

  • Sri Lanka ends visas for hundreds of thousands of Russians staying there to avoid war

    Jump

  • It may be a conversation worth having in a 1 to 1, but internet denizens crave hate and hate as much as they can when they can.

    Usually I get downvoted for "let's come together" comments that say things like all Israelis and Russians shouldn't die in a fire, because they are not all bad, when people are calling for culling them. The internet is weird.

  • Do satellites have different levels for direction they are traveling?

    Jump

  • That's crazy. TIL about geostationary satellites. I didn't think a satellite could 'stay still' in space above an area and have wrongly told people it's not possible. I have some comment edits to make.

  • How can I go about cracking the Android games that I own?

    Jump

  • Ironically, GrapheneOS is pretty much that (minus the hardware) unless you want to get an iPhone or Windows phone. You'll have to have Play Services to play the games you want to play; may as well use the only sandboxed version afaik. The reason the Pixel line was chosen is because it's essentially what iPhone is for Apple... There will be no vendor add-ons or modifications, just stock android which can be modified into things like GrapheneOS. But it's more for security and privacy than it sounds like you need. Just keep in mind whatever you choose, cracked apps have a much higher chance of containing malware unless you learn to crack them yourself, but then you'd have no time to game.

    https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-play-services

    Since the Play services apps are simply regular apps on GrapheneOS, you install them within a specific user or work profile and they're only available within that profile. Only apps within the same profile can use it and they need to explicitly choose to use it. It works the same way as any other app and has no special capabilities. As with any other app, it can't access data of other apps and requires explicit user consent to gain access to profile data or the standard permissions. Apps within the same profile can communicate with mutual consent and it's no different for sandboxed Play services.

    ETA: It looks like there is a modified open source Play Services client called MicroG, which is basically a rewrite of Play Services that allows things to work, but things requiring payments or payments via NFC etc may not work.

    I think you just want to play games without play services, not actually learn apk reverse engineering (which is a very complex skill), so MicroG is probably what you want. https://microg.org/

    A few months ago someone (journalist?) claimed authorities cracked his 30+ char strong Veracrypt (or TrueCrypt?) passphrase. His computer was turned off when apprehended. I can not locate the story.
