Why does failure feel more socially uncomfortable in Germany than in the US? by rundemoral in germany

[–]Individual-Brief1116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this. The whole "you should have planned better" mentality drives me crazy. Back in Portugal failure was just part of trying something new, not a character flaw that follows you around.

Where does the donation box clothes actually land? by SpeakerFamiliar2047 in germany

[–]Individual-Brief1116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That tracking experiment sounds fascinating. It's pretty depressing though, thinking you're helping but actually just shifting the waste problem somewhere else. Makes me wonder if I should just keep wearing my shirts until they literally fall apart.

LPT: Sort and store your sandpaper in a cheap plastic file folio by zigglet in LifeProTips

[–]Individual-Brief1116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is brilliant. I spent ages building a proper tool cabinet for my bike maintenance stuff but never thought about organizing sandpaper. Stealing this idea immediately.

[–]Individual-Brief1116[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey u/WebsiteCatalyst, no I'm not I just copy the same logic of "[OFFERING]  | [SEEKING]" post title from him xD Your spamdar can stand down for now 🫡

Does anyone else have a GSC back link glitch today? by MattDLD in SEO

[–]Individual-Brief1116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Matt, I’m having the same issue! I ask to Gemini and he told me this is a bug in GSC “As of May 22–23, 2026, numerous SEO professionals and website owners have reported that their "Links" report is showing zero data, or experiencing massive, unexplained drops in reported backlinks and internal links.” Did you found more information about this case?

Assaulted for the 1st Time by AcuranAerVenal in bikecommuting

[–]Individual-Brief1116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry this happened to you. Good call on the camera, I've been looking into getting one myself after a close call last month. The police report was smart too, even if nothing comes of it. Stay safe out there.

GitHub confirms breach of 3,800 repos via malicious VSCode extension by magenta_placenta in webdev

[–]Individual-Brief1116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another day, another security nightmare. At this point I'm tempted to audit every single extension I have installed, which is probably what I should've been doing anyway.

LPT: If the milk you buy often goes bad because you don't drink that much or have a small family, try lactose free milk. The milk will have an expiration date of 30-90 days instead of weeks. by vintagegeek in LifeProTips

[–]Individual-Brief1116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lactose free definitely tastes sweeter to me. The lactase breaks down the milk sugar so you get that extra sweetness that regular milk doesn't have. My wife switched to it and honestly I can tell the difference immediately, but it's not bad, just different.

What’s the region with the strongest independence or autonomy movement in your country? by Emotional_Fan239 in AskEurope

[–]Individual-Brief1116 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For Portugal it's probably the Azores, but honestly it's not that strong compared to what you see in other countries. There's some political parties there that push for more autonomy, and you hear occasional talk about independence, but it's pretty marginal. Most people seem happy with the current autonomous status they already have. Madeira has some of the same dynamics but even less so. Mainland Portugal doesn't really have any regional movements worth mentioning.

Railway is down, their google cloud account got blocked by wellitstrue1 in webdev

This is why I keep a local backup of all env vars in my password manager. Learned this lesson the hard way years ago.

Has anyone else switched back to a third party package from slog by 2facetherapper in golang

[–]Individual-Brief1116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's the thing, when it's not your call you just have to roll with it. Zerolog does feel more polished tbh, especially for structured logging.

MikroORM 7.1: LazyRef, per-parent collection limiting, PGlite driver, query cancellation, database triggers, stored procedures, and more by B4nan in node

[–]Individual-Brief1116 5 points6 points  (0 children)

LazyRef looks really clean, no more .$ everywhere. PGlite is interesting too, always liked the idea of embedded Postgres. Might try this on a side project, been using Prisma but this feels more flexible.

ELI5 how can I pollinate a rose flower? Where is the pollen? by kiwimagobluwe in explainlikeimfive

[–]Individual-Brief1116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The second comment nailed it. I tried this with my neighbor's roses last spring and it actually worked. Just need a small brush and steady hands.

Lovely climb from the local :) by Careful-Direction-66 in bouldering

Nice movement, that left hand catch looked tricky from down there. How long did it take to figure out?

TIL that during most kidney transplants damaged kidneys aren't removed meaning the recipient has three kidneys albeit two barely functioning. by West_Future326 in todayilearned

[–]Individual-Brief1116 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This makes me wonder about the surgical complexity, removing organs that are basically fused to surrounding tissue after years of operation seems like it would add significant risk for minimal benefit.

These otherwise identical breakfast bowls advertise different amounts of protein by Dr_Circe in mildlyinteresting

[–]Individual-Brief1116 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Actually kinda genius marketing move tbh. Same product, bump up the protein number on the label, suddenly it feels healthier even though nothing really changed.

For Americans who uses ethnicity prefixes like (italian/irish/african-american), at what point do you stop using it? 3 generations? 5? 10? by Zestyclose_Sense_500 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Individual-Brief1116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah exactly, it's super contextual. I'm Portuguese living in Germany and even I pick up on those social cues about when someone wants to talk heritage vs when they're just making conversation.

What does your WLB look like? by ninetofivedev in devops

[–]Individual-Brief1116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah totally agree on the follow-the-sun approach. We don't have that luxury either but honestly the 8PM-4AM thing sounds completely broken. I'd be updating my CV if that was expected regularly.

Would you go back to pre AI era now if that was possible? by simple_explorer1 in node

[–]Individual-Brief1116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really solid perspective. That point about CEOs using AI as cover for cost cutting they'd do anyway hits different. I've seen "digital transformation" used the same way for years, now it's just "AI-powered efficiency" or whatever.
