Mostly for not loosing unsavable work across transit. Though, Windows has kinda blurred the line between shutdown and standby, so now you can do neither (I guess you can still shutdown properly holding down the shift key while pressing the button, but who thinks about that?).

But standby was indeed much more prevelant when booting your laptop took 2~5min.

If Netflix can call an existing series to which they bought the rights a "Netflix Original", then this dude can host you a free website for 1$+.

Good day everyone. I've been looking for a solution to host my photos/images, containing 100+ year old photos from a small island community and it's inhabitants.

More specifically, I'm looking for a solution which allows pleasent browsing and viewing of the albums and the photos within, and has labels/fig text for each photo.

I've looked into Pixelfed, as it seems to be easily integratable with other fedi services and can be self hosted (fedi integration is not a must), but found that while it has collections, the photos within cannot be easily traversed. Similarly, it has albums, but those do not have a proper overview and appear to lack per-image-text.

If Pixelfed had a way to enable the ease of navigating the images in an album to the collections, such as moving to the next image in the collection by use of arrow keys (or simply a link) instead of having to go to the collection overview and clicking on the next image, then it would be ideal, but I have not been able to achieve this so far.

What kind of solutions are you using for sharing old or interesting albums of photos on the internet which require explanation?

Could be worse, could be snaps.

Right now it's your right to do what you want to your car as long as it still passes vehicle inspection, but it appears that car makers want new laws that prevent you from modifying your own car.

If we just sit on our hands now, well likely move into a future where we will be forced to either pay subscription or take public transit, which requires subscriptions.

I know that I'm at fault here for using such services, but Pihole can't block the ads that are hosted on the same server as the service, eg. Half the ads on Youtube.

Isn't Monero "some crypto bullshit"? Or is there a privacy related tool with the same name that I'm not aware of?

Nisser, the Danish, or rather Scandinavian, small and cute gods of protection. As far as I know, the nisse can form when an old farmer dies and is buried on their farm. The nisse will then henceforth protect the farm and it's inhabitants.

Now, while considered fun and cute in modern times, the gårdsnisser (contrary to the more feral and much more dangerous skovnisser/forest nisser) are very gullable with a strong sense of guilt, and they are hotheaded and intractable/stubborn to an unreasonable degree. They will protect you and give good luck if treated well, but will be intolerable if they feel inconvenienced or not properly cared for, to the point where they might directly or indirectly kill everyone on the farm out of spite.

Sometimes they cause atrocities because of misunderstandings, and when finding out that it was a misunderstanding on their part will cause harm to others to make up to their own farm, such as stealing cattle from neighboring farms to make up for the cows they killed earlier.

Now, the possibly worst thing you can do is to try and force a nisse to show itself to you. The small creatures accept indirect gifts, but don't like direct contact and have a cursing bite, and will most definitely bite if cornered, such as by a nosy and persistent child. This curse makes one fall sick, loosing health and strenght until one perishes in a matter of months/years. As far as I'm aware, there is no cure for the curse, and regarding the nissers tendency to be fooled or act before thinking, well....

Having a nisse on your farm can be a great blessing, but one is also constantly in danger of having their whole family killed over a minor misunderstanding or mood swing. So it is heavily recommended not to acquire any farms where a nisse might reside.

Probably the same reason people keep posting the same questions in tech subs over and over and over again.

There are a lot of people who need help/need to tell the world about something great to them, but few people are capable of or care to search previous posts.

Moderators removing duplicates often results in a bad user experience, especially so for new users who haven't seen that post tens of times, so it's often allowed to a certain degree.

When the transition from cutscene to player control is so smooth, that you don't realize and die to the oncoming monster.
