  • The texture is definitely a concern, and still gets me a bit occasionally. But the flavor is quite good, so I deal with the texture

  • Good on you for trying haha. It's ok to hate things 🤷‍♂️

  • Notice it was on my list of things I USED to hate. Now I'll put raw tomatoes on my burger if I'm in the mood. And big chunky stewed tomatoes are good in chili or goulash. I like them in many pasta dishes, even on a margarita pizza.

    I'm still not down with eating them straight, though. We're planting a small raised garden this year, maybe I'll like them fresh 😁

  • Mushrooms, raw tomatoes, onions, peppers, spicy stuff, bleu cheese, wine that isn't syrup sweet, probably more stuff I can't think of at the moment.

    What made me change? Me. I forced myself to try these things occasionally, over time. Over years.

    My feeling is that while it's ok to not like things, it's dumb to not expand your horizons, or at least try to.

    One of my biggest pet peeves is when I'm showing somebody something new, and they THINK they'll hate it, so they scrunch their face before they even try it. They've already decided they hate it, whether they realize it or not. Either they struggle to open their mind, or they subconsciously try to defend their initial statements that they don't think it's good, to save face? IDK. Drives me batty.

    Again, it's fine to not like it. Whatever, I hate lots of stuff. But every so often, I try it again. And I mean REALLY try it. I force myself to imagine what it would taste like if I liked it. I look for the good qualities in whatever it is. If I still don't like it? Ok, maybe another time.

    I admit to still not liking raw onion on my burger. And I only tolerate it on my pizza. But many other dishes wouldn't taste good WITHOUT onion, in my current opinion. So it's still progress.

  • Isn't there something about your eyes focusing further away stereoscopically, but individually they are focusing closer? Like a single lense doing a macro focus on an up close image, rather than two cameras adjusting their angle to make their images line up for an object far away.

    There's a word for this but I can't think of it right now.

    Anywho, I thought focusing up close was still bad for your eyes in the long term?

  • I love tower climbing. I do it as a hobby, not for work. But I considered a career in climbing when I was younger.

  • Height is might

  • Thanks, I'm aware, but it's quite overwhelming usually. Also this is for hardware that supports openwrt directly, I'm asking about APs that don't require external accounts to configure

  • Oh I didn't know that. That makes sense.

    Hmmm..

    If Wi-Fi 7 isn't compatible with wpa2, then it's hard to have any kind of mixed network supporting legacy clients without a separate SSID. For anyone.

    That's kind of unfortunate, but I guess it's the cost of progress.

    You can mix Wi-Fi 6 and 7 though, correct? So theoretically I could catch most of my somewhat modern clients that way.

    I should take stock of all my modern clients.

  • Thanks!

    That's definitely unfortunate.

    If it helps, I'm in a suburb with fairly close neighbors. 2.4 is packed, so I was pretty much planning on giving it up as far as any "performance" clients are concerned. I was thinking of having only one 2.4 radio for the whole house, for legacy and iot devices.

    It's not a huge house, I was thinking I could get away with 2, maybe 3 APs on 5ghz, reducing power a smidge to reduce self interference, but I haven't tried that yet.

    Real world performance, testing with speedtest.net to a max of 500Mbps, shows 400+ Mbps on 5ghz in the basement, bedrooms and living room. With the weak zone being the kitchen at 200-300. Still plenty fast for what I need, though I won't turn down free performance, and that's without any of my own congestion.

    2.4 maxes out at 30Mbps in most locations, significantly less in others.

    That said, I'm really trying NOT to spend money upgrading my entire setup right now. I was hoping to drop $50-100 on one device to play with 6ghz. I've only got one client that can take advantage of it anyway. On the ubiquiti, can I just set the 5ghz radio to Wi-Fi 5? And the 6ghz to 7? I feel like that should work for now? 🤔

  • networking @sh.itjust.works

    6ghz Wi-Fi AP suggestions? No remote config, local only, or at least available.

  • Just popping in to say it's insane that a 750k house is positioned as reasonable in this scenario. The housing market is truly insane.

    Before anyone else comments, I get it, the market varies depending on where you live. Around me, "reasonable houses", that being 2 ish bedrooms, 1 ish bath, are somewhere between 250k and 500k. But that's still disgusting. 10 or 15 years ago that would've been 60 to 150k, in my same area. I'm still kicking myself for not buying back then, not that I had the means, but I almost did. Now? Sheesh.

    The crazy part is, renting isn't even cheap!

    Rent in my area is around 1.5k per month for 2 bedroom 1 bath.. My rent has been lower than that thankfully, though climbing, but that's the going rate.

    With good credit, and 20k down, that could be a mortgage payment on an entire house twice the size. Still disgusting but at least then you're building equity of some sort.

    But who's got that when 25% of Americans have no savings at all, and only 50% can cover 3 months expenses in an emergency?

    Yet new housing is built all the time. Why? Because it's lucrative for those with gobs of money, holding all the housing.

    My landlord is no saint, but he has 2 buildings, 4 units each, with detached garages. They aren't premium, slightly dated, but they're miles better than slumlord stuff. Nice neighborhood too. I'd put my grandma in there. Yet he consistently keeps the rent at less than 60% of the local average.

    Honestly he SHOULD charge more. But I'm not telling him that. He does it because he can't stand the thought of gouging people to get rich. Though I'm sure he's still making plenty, as his new truck would indicate. But still.

    My neighbors complain about him, and one even left. Then begged to come back because other renters locally were more expensive, and less attentive. He let them back 🤷‍♂️

  • Thank you for this gem

  • That's fair 😂

  • Can you burst shot with flash on modern cameras? Honest question, I don't professional photography

  • I can't find a movie by that name? There's a TV show though

  • This is solid. I wonder if you could rig up a ddns somehow to keep it seamless?

  • I only just recently UPGRADED to 1080. I spent the better part of the last decade only dealing in 720p.

    My TV has been 1080 forever, I plan on upgrading to 4k for HDR, miniLED. I might try some 4k stuff 🤷‍♂️

  • Is kagi maps and translate included in the subscription? Any other services? This is the first I've heard of it

  • I feel like Wi-Fi 7 in general isn't ready, at least in my home it's not worth it to me. Yet. But then, I'm still on 5, so 🤷‍♂️

    I run two AC-1304's in my house. My connection is only 500megabit. Works fine for my needs 🤷‍♂️

  • What is this thing? @lemmy.world

    What is this pair of metal... Things.. hanging on traffic light pole over an intersection?

    Tinkercad not exporting holes? They don't even show up in the preview. Some of my previously working designs are also doing this.
