Not sure if just ‘haha tech-rhyme, using common error message’ or deeper:

Connection reset by peer = Other party ended the conversation. Immediately after you’d stated you’re queer…

They don’t use the same words I use, burn them at the stake!!

Never have a permission issue again! Lmao

Participated in democracy? Devoured by vampires, lmao

But if you’re born in the USA, you didn’t agree to any ToS it was forced upon you at birth. Never chose to accept/agree to them, but obligated to follow them or face punishment.

A contract signed under duress is invalid.

-having no personal insight/knowledge of japan’s drug scene, just my impressions-

Saying you’ve found none in six years, doesn’t make me think there’s none comming through; I immediately think you haven’t been looking very hard.

Finding very little I could understand, but NONE? Na, you need to try harder.

An $11/yr domain pointed at my IP. Port 443 is open to nginx, which proxies to the desired service depending on subdomain. (and explicitly drops any connection that uses my raw ip or an unrecognized name to connect, without responding at all)

ACME.sh automatically refreshes my free ssl certificate every ~2months via DNS-01 verification and letsencrypt.

And finally, I’ve got a dynamic IP, so DDClient keeps my domain pointed at the correct IP when/if it changes.

There’s also pihole on the local network, replacing the WAN IP from external DNS, with the servers local IP, for LAN devices to use. But that’s very much optional, especially if your router performs NAT Hairpinning.

This setup covers all ~24 of the services/web applications I host, though most other services have some additional configuration to make them only accessible from LAN/VPN despite using the same ports and nginx service. I can go into that if there’s interest.

Only Emby/Jellyfin, Ombi, and Filebrowser are made accessible from WAN; so I can easily share those with friends/family without having to guide them through/restrict them to a vpn connection.

You can use cloudflares DNS and not use their WAF (the proxy bit) just fine. I have been for almost a decade.

So hold them in contempt and seize a couple warehouses.

They don’t bat an eye at casual fines; so hit the business itself.

Idk how you’re getting your jack dirty.

Dusty warehouse environment. Even with my phone staying in my pocket most of the time; it collects dust in the ports and has to be cleaned regularly. I’m glad I only have one port to clean now.

Also, if the earbuds aren’t in-ears, aren’t they just clip-ons or headphones?

Sure, but nobody said you can only use wireless buds. If you don’t like in-ear style headphones/buds try a different style.

These used to by my wired earbuds of choice; I swapped the replaceable cable with a usb c one. There’s also a bluetooth cable/adapter you can buy.

I haven’t actually used them much though because I primarily switched to some wireless Raycons 2-3 ago years now. They’ve been fantastic and I’ve gotten so used to being untethered from my phone that I don’t think I’d ever go back.

8-10 hrs of runtime and only about 20min to charge; More often than not, I’m only wearing one anyway, so one charges while the other plays audio. Swap as necessary or listen to both and take an occasional break (which is good for you anyway). They charge in the case whenever not being used, and the case wirelessly charges whenever its on my bedside table, or from usb c if you ever needed it. I’ve yet to kill all three batteries, even with continuous use all day long.

All ‘Aux’ stands for is auxiliary, which could technically mean a lot of different things depending on context; but we’re talking about phones, so it’s pretty commonly known to mean the auxiliary audio/headphone port. Ie; the 3.5mm TRS/TRRS socket used for audio output/input.

This particular cable is more intended for connecting to a stereo + charger, so those would be close together.

I’m mainly using it with one of these stereos, but it would be good in a car too:

If you want to connect headphones+charge, the dongle style adapters may be a better fit:

Though you could use a usb or aux extension on either of the shorter ends of the first cable I showed if you wanted too.

Yup, that’s what it’s for.

For months, masked individuals with no police agency markings have been leaping out of unmarked vehicles that have no licence plates, refusing to identify themselves in any way, then kidnapping people off of the streets; and not one of them has faced any true resistance.

What the fucked has happened to America. Is “hey don’t do that”, really all you’ve got???

Admittedly I was very stuck in the ‘I hate phones not having Aux’ camp because I preferred wired headphones for the longest time.

I was given some fairly poor wireless headphones and was pleasantly surprised by those, so I bought a good quality set myself. Now I’ve gotten so used to being untethered from my phone while listening to music, or podcasts, etc that I don’t think I’d go back to wired headphones while mobile.

That just leaves stereo systems, portable speakers, vehicles and the like. All of those, instead of carrying around or leaving an aux-aux cable, swap that for a usb c to aux cable.

Or even one of these:

As OP said, more space for battery. It’s also one less opening to waterproof. It took me a good long while, but I’ve come around to agree a headphone jack just isn’t worth the extra space it takes up. It’s not worthless, but there’s better ways to use the space.

I bought a y-shaped cable for exactly this the other day.

Usb c on one end, aux and usb a on the other end.

Spray paint can on a stick, meant for road marking without bending over.

As nice as that would be, the unfortunate reality is that’s just not a realistic solution. You can’t put the cat back in the bag, so to speak.

The technology is already known; If everyone agreed to disarm, each party would just be even more worried about nations potentially ignoring that agreement and their now lack of defense against it.

The biggest reason I’m not all that concerned about Iran having nukes is the fact that so many nations are already nuclear armed. The use of nuclear weapons is so hated globally that they can only really be used in defence. If any individual nation chose to use their nukes offensively, the inevitable response from everyone else would mean the decision is suicide.

If Iran acquired nukes, then used them on say, Israel; America at the very least would turn Iran into a nuclear wasteland. I’m sure there are other nations that would join in, even if just on principle.

As far as the NonProliferation Treaty goes, they are threatening to leave it, but haven’t actually yet.
