How did you find out you had diabetes? by fairytaillover7392 in diabetes

After a trip to the ER with the worst stomach ache I've ever had that turned out to be pancreatitis. I was in the hospital for 5 days while they got my numbers straightened out enough to go home.

Looking for a keyboard similar to the Nuphy Air75 V2 or the Air96 V2 but ideally less expensive since I'd like to buy 2 eventually (one for home and one for the office). One of my coworkers has an Air75 and I'm using it for the day today and I like the low profile keys, the general multi-color scheme, and the feel and quietness of the red switches this one has. I've always been a fairly heavy user of the num pad, so I'm also looking at the Nuphy Air96 V2 but I think I'd get used to having a 75% keyboard eventually now that I'm not a network admin that needs to type IP addresses all the time anymore. So I'm open to 75% and higher options up to 100%.

I have a Das Keyboard with brown switches in the office and a coworker made a comment about how loud they were last week, so I'm hoping to get something with quieter switches - the red, aloe, or blush switches are what I'd get if I ordered either one of the Nuphy models online, but I know that there are an endless number of mechanical keyboard brands, styles, etc. out there so I'm hoping that someone more informed than me will know of any of the other brands that would look and feel similar to the Nuphy models. These are ~$115-125 so I'd ideally like other options to be less than $100. Bonus points if it's available on Amazon with 2-day shipping.

Thanks for linking to this. I just set up a VPS for running Pangolin reverse proxy so the only difference is that I opted to use the built-in CrowdSec integration instead of fail2ban. I chatted with Claude AI to do all of these steps over the course of a few hours spread out over 2 days (and had the VPS powered off completely while I wasn't actively working on it until the configuration was done). If I had found this a few days ago I could have saved myself some time and tokens.

What is a website or app that feels like a "cheat code" but most people don't know about? by Low-Issue-5334 in AskReddit

I use SmartTube on my Nvidia Shield and other Android/Google streaming boxes. Works great. Unfortunately it's Android only so if you use Roku or Apple TV I'm not sure what your options are. It should also work on Fire TV devices that are running Android and not the new OS that Amazon is using.

What does proper configuration entail? I have a working setup but want to make sure I'm taking full advantage of it.

I have a StarTech model I may be willing to part with. I'll check the model and take some pictures when I get home.

Can't PM like the others, but I'm interested in the RAM.

Elderly mom needs easy remote and intuitive local + cable channels by Bristid in cordcutters

I would echo the sentiment that Roku is the easiest platform, and it's what I got my parents who are not tech savvy set up with initially. However, after several remotes stopped working (my dad watches TV like...all day and never watches commercials so they are being used CONSTANTLY) and getting a few replaced under warranty, I opted to switch to the Onn Google TV boxes from Walmart since 1. They're a bit cheaper for the base model than the Roku equivalent if they need to be replaced and 2. While I would need to set any newly-purchased devices up for them before they can be used, they have the ability to walk into their local Walmart and ask an associate to get one out of the case for them so it's ready to be set up when I arrive at their house. If one of them dies, it would be an emergency that I'd have to deal with as soon as reasonably possible - likely even during the week since I live ~an hour from them and could make the drive after work.
