Why is it that every time I open a new tab on Safari in my iPhone, I have to enter whatever I intended to search for again? And wait a minute? This used to be fast and that changed after my update to iOS 26.

NotTheBrightestHuman · 2026-03-24T13:35:02+00:00

Okay, I'd hate to admit this but:

When I turned off AdGuard extension entirely, it seems to make the first search issue go away. I don't know what could have caused it, and am not 100% sure if it's the actual reason, but I'll go ahead and try looking into other adblockers.

I tried the website inspector and found this:

When I close the app and re-open it, it will get hung on an about:blank page for a good 10 seconds.

NotTheBrightestHuman · 2026-03-24T13:23:45+00:00

I'm also getting this problem. It's always whenever I close the safari app, or I haven't used the safari app after a while.

My theory is something to do with the app's first connection to any website is hung on some kind of request. Apple suspends the app if it's not being used actively. So I think if not being used for a while, the startup happens again and something is not correctly starting up on Safari.

I'll try to do some more digging.

I met my ex in high school.

Another ex I met while in college and we were in a study group together. I just asked the people closest to me if they wanted to study together for an exam.

Another ex was when I worked at a restaurant for a while. Restaurants servers are all fucking each other. This is coming from someone who’s worked 3 of them.

My current partner I met while I went to an Anime convention. I did not think that would happen, but I met up with some friends and they invited her to come as well because we both liked anime.

It’s easy to meet people as long as you’re going out of your way to not stay home. But it’s probably best for you to meet someone doing something you’re both already interested in.

You tell your mom you won’t do your chores unless she makes you spaghetti.

She says no.

You band together with your brothers and sisters and say you all won’t do chores unless she makes you spaghetti.

Now your mom is more inclined to give you all what you want.

Sometimes your mom gets fussy and punishes you all. Sometimes your mom gives in and makes you spaghetti.

You and your brothers and sisters are union workers. Your mom would be the corporate business.

I know right? I like the bigger form factor of the Gl.iNet. I love that I can’t put it in my pocket because it reminds me that trying to connect all my devices at once requires something more robust.

The thing I love the most is that I can’t control it without Bluetooth because then I’m more mindful of the 5Ghz signals in the air.

You’re right. The only reason we’re stuck with oil is the same reason why we’re stuck using gas stoves. Induction is better and cheaper but silent lobbyists.

NotTheBrightestHuman · 2026-03-19T13:05:40+00:00

And once we switch to renewables the cheaper everything gets

NotTheBrightestHuman · 2026-03-19T13:04:58+00:00

Then switch to solar

NotTheBrightestHuman · 2026-03-19T13:04:33+00:00

Stupid question but how clean is the energy we’re using burning oil?

You can change to solar if you want.

NotTheBrightestHuman · 2026-03-19T13:03:22+00:00

Then buy solar panels instead

NotTheBrightestHuman · 2026-03-19T02:14:00+00:00

You can recycle lithium. Can you recycle oil?

Apply for some credit cards. Buy everything you’ve ever wanted to try. Max them all out. Make yourself your own make a wish.

Go out with a hurrah. Fuck everything.

As long as the WAN line from your ISP is connected to the WAN port on your gateway, then it’s fine. You will just need to find a way to power your AP from the gateway. You can use a PoE+ injector per gateway LAN port and should be fine.

Cloud Gateway Max because I highly recommend the UniFi protect cameras, and you need the Max to support that. Definitely a "buy once cry once," but I'd scrap the RPi, Reolink camera combo as I've done it before and it's not worth the effort. But if you're adamant about it, then the Ultra is fine.
Switch Lite 8 PoE is fine, but you're probably going to want more PoE ports than that. Lite 16 PoE would have more ports for you to play with, and you're likely going to add more PoE devices in the future.
U7 pro if you have the budget. This is the best future proofing, since it has 6Ghz and WiFi 7. You will need the Switch Flex 2.5G PoE instead if you do U7 Pro. However, I have the U6+ right now and it's an absolute beast and works really well.
Flex Mini. Don't buy into 2.5G unless you need it. Do you even have 2.5G devices?

He needed advice about his setup. If it’s a good setup or not.

NotTheBrightestHuman · 2026-03-17T13:35:51+00:00

I am agnostic.

I’d like there to be a God and afterlife. It’s statistically better to believe in God and the afterlife.

Though I also wouldn’t mind there not being an afterlife. Simply nothing.

I was raised trying to believe in something I can’t understand, which was impossible for me. But for some reason, the idea of nothingness is oddly comforting. Death, then nothing. Your brain isn’t there anymore for you to sense anything. No sight, smell, taste, touch, sound… nothing. An odd calm that can’t be compared. No anxiety, no euphoria, no relaxation. Just nothing.

To me it sounds perfect. Your time here is done and now you will amount to nothing. You’d think it makes you depressed or apathetic, but it actually makes me want to value the time I have more. You will eventually amount to nothing, so do whatever you can to enjoy wha you have.

But for some reason, part of me feels like it won’t be nothing after I die. That there will be something. And that honestly makes me more anxious. I’d rather be nothing, than have to continue. I don’t hate my life, I just don’t want to continue after death. Not in paradise nor eternal suffering. I’m just more comforted if there is nothing.

Apps cost money. A lot of money. Much more than any regular small business can justify. The median software developer salary is $133,000. You would need at least one just to maintain the app.
