Free WiFi.
  • Here's a secret those free wifi providers don't want you to know: usually, they don't check your email or ask you to verify it, so you can just enter suckurmomsball@gmail.com If they do show a second screen asking for an email, just create a tempmail adress on cellular and switch back to verify. It works 99.99% of the time.

    Edit: you also don't have to enter any real personal information, how would they know?

  • Obscure password requirements
  • I'm not sure but I think the previous password is mostly stored in an unrecoverable format and only upon changing your password, when you have to enter your previous one, does it store it in an unrecoverable format for 10x or so generations. Just a guess though for how AD might do it.

  • Aliexpress is now a beacon of quality compared to the terrible stuff available on Temu. The worst part is that people buying a spare battery for their eScooter won't do the research and will just be happy to get a "good" deal, until it explodes in their sleep...

    Switzerland moves towards cashless future with instant payments
  • The problem with traditional bank transfers, at least in Switzerland, is that they are very much not instant and take up to 2 buisness days for non-buisnesses in switzerland. Therefore instant payements look like a nice alternative to our alternative to venmo here

  • Figured out how Streaming service song radio algorithms work

    I always thought music streaming services craft the song radio playlists carefully using algorithms that take song genre, beat and melody patterns, artist relations etc into consideration.

    Well color me surpised when I quickly downloaded the song radio playlist of "Tunak Tunak Tun" by Daler Mehndi for a car trip and played it in the car.

    The first song was ofc said indie indian pop song. The second one I was like, ok, a little different genre but ok??? (PPAP - Pen Pinapple Apple Pen).

    By the third one I was confused. First "take on me" starts, I turn it up because what the heck, doesn't fit the theme at all but good song anyway, and then a twelve-year-old starts ear-raping me about mining minecraft diamonds: !

    It seems I was the last human to figure out those streaming services base the song radios on what other people group the song into playlists, not any method of paragraph one.

    This was confirmed by the rest of the playlist makeup:

    (Two other songs by Daler Mehndi)

    Tri Ploski

    Two songs with pewdipie

    Both the russian and soviet national anthems (by the same artist, listed seperately)

    7th element (twice, once english, once russian)

    Axel F

    The Angry Birds theme

    Multiple common Youtube soundtracks

    Etc, you get the picture.

    This is when I understood that most Tidal listeners who have added this song to a playlist, have it in their meme playlist.

    Go figure...

    Constant disk activity

    I am constantly hearing disc activity on my ds218+. In the Activity manager I can see constant read/write on the performance overview. In the task list I can't see anything showing read/write, other than Swap, but that shows up less frequently than i hear the clicking. The RAM usage on the system is also under 50%.

    Can anyone help? I am driving myself insane, trying to find the cause. I disabled the usage history in the performance monitor and all docker containers are paused.
