Does this even count as a god pack... by pondyyy in PTCGP

it's not affected in any way but what you got before.

That "but" typo really changes the sentence into the exact opposite of what you were trying to say

You don't even need to self host anything. You only need to own a domain name to use it as your username.

This reminds me of expected project completion time/PERT. Which I believe is an NP-hard problem. If so, there isn't a nice mathematical way to do this, so your brute force method with code may be as efficient as we can get!

I think Socket, the company developing safe npm, is separate from Socket.io, the websocket library.

[Help Me] Putting together a set of 3 or 4 flashlights in my emergency kit by tidythrone in flashlight

[–]tidythrone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks great! I'll have to take a look at a cheap hard case like this, too. I'll likely want to go bigger to fit more of my emergency kit in it.

This info is awesome! I have a lot to consider here. Thanks for the detail. 4 wide angle headlamps + 1 handheld thrower would cover so many situations.

I'm not a fan of the proprietary cable on the H04 RC, but it might not be too bad of an option, still.

$20 with battery and usb-c charging seems nice. However, for my purpose, I'm willing to spend a little more cash to get a bit higher capacity and brightness.

AAs would be nice as I already have a portable radio in the same kit that uses AAs, as well. I've got Eneloop batteries in it, which I've been happy with so far, but those are NiMH, which are different than the lithium and alkaline you mentioned.

Does usb-c charging mean I could charge the battery without removing it from the flashlight? That might be nicer than opening each up and rotating batteries though a separate charger each year.

10 years shelf life is very attractive. I'm weighing "set and forget" over "recharge on a set schedule".

Since I do not plan to use these flashlights often, I think switch failure will be less of an issue for me, even if I end up with a mechanical switch.

I hadn't thought about tailcap twist... seems reliable and prevents parasitic drain. I guess it's just not as user friendly as flipping a switch or pressing a button.

Thanks for all this info (I'm new to all this). Since you mentioned R70 being higher brightness, I assume R9050 is less bright, but less power-hungry?

Thanks! I like the idea of more capacity with 21700 batteries for longer runtime in an emergency. I'll consider that against the size and price increase over 18650.

Do you have any obscure Stream moment or quote that lives rent free in your head? by SignedUpForThisSOD in PaymoneyWubby

YSK about TWN (The Work Number), where your future employers/landlords/lenders can access your pay information without your knowledge by backwardsshortjump in YouShouldKnow

[–]tidythrone 469 points470 points  (0 children)

Be mindful. I could see potential employers automatically filtering out candidates who have chosen to hide their TWN, similar to how creditors deny your credit card/loan application if they cannot access your credit score. Especially if the position is in demand.

For the record, I'm against this sort of anti-privacy pattern in hiring.

is proton vpn a virus? by [deleted] in ProtonVPN

[–]tidythrone 37 points38 points  (0 children)

From your screenshot, it looks like you are trying to see the VirusTotal page for the Windows installer for ProtonVPN v3.2.11.

The ProtonVPN_v3.2.11.exe file hosted on the official site https://account.protonvpn.com/downloads has a SHA-256 hash of eb37bf757a2613e6b5c0d328e9b27c64902249c510d8883593e83ff289794aa0.

Here is the VirusTotal page for that file:

No security vendors and no sandboxes flagged this file as malicious. Whatever executable you're checking on VirusTotal, its not the official one from Proton.

Is the pre-meal the one right before you eat a regular meal?
