I guarantee my method is way less scientific that it may sound :)

The timer habit comes from me forgetting about my tea about 50% of the times and ending up with an undrinkable cup.

As for weighting tea leaves... there's been a period when I felt particularly experimental and I was juggling some 8 different kinds of tea; I quickly got sick of remembering how many spoons of each kind I should use for my 300ml cup (density varies a lot depending on how much the leaves are rolled and how big they are) so I bought a 10€ "precision" scale and got into the habit of weighting my tea leaves.

Nowadays I generally have just two kinds of tea around (plus sometimes a third one I'm trying out), so it's not like the scale is really needed... I do appreciate the consistency however (I get tea in rather big bags, and the leaves on the top are noticeably bigger than the ones towards the end of the bag), plus having one less thing to remember is always nice.

If really bots are being used for this, will that also contribute to the traffic metric like a normal user would?

no: bots generally use the API and, even if they went through the web ui, bot traffic doesn't generally trigger tracking (you could write a bot that does that, but it would be extra work)

Is the time to resolve domains that are not cached noticeable?

Seems reasonable when you are on the offensive

How much tea do you use and how long do you wait?

I use around 1.5g tea per 100ml and make three infusions with Darjeeling (well, with most black teas really): 2mins, 3mins and "a very long time" (IDK if the third should be even considered tea... I leave it be and then drink the resulting beverage at room temp)

Se fare molti loghi dovesse risultare complicato (specie in futuro per le nuove community), si potrebbe usare un piccolo overlay (che so, una bandierina italiana) come segno distintivo dell'istanza

The hdparm -B and -S options should allow you to have your drive automatically spin-down when inactive, but they don't work on all dives (eg. my NAS has two shucked WD white that seem to just ignore those settings). If those fail, you could schedule a hdparm -y to spin down the drive periodically.

Make sure to read man hdparm as there are some dangerous options.

PS: there's also https://github.com/adelolmo/hd-idle - I've not tried it out yet, but it seems promising

I love how much effort they put in this every time!

If you wanna listen to more of them, here's the full playlist from SUSE's channel on youtube.

Per niente: chiamare qualcuno "negro" è sicuramente un insulto e, altrettanto sicuramente, avere la pelle scura non può essere considerata "una cosa brutta".

Detto questo, concordo che Musk sia... una persona diversamente intelligente.

 

I understand Beehaw's policy on downvotes: I've not thought of it long enough to say whether I agree or not (well, I guess I should also study some psychology and sociology to really form a meaningful opinion on that), but I have, in principle, no problems with it.

However, in some communities that are not on Beehaw (and thus not necessarily agree with Beehaw policies) user downvotes work as kind-of a "soft" moderation and I feel like I could better contribute to those communities if I could downvote posts/comments that I find distasteful or inappropriate but that the mod won't remove (I know I can just reply with a reprimand, but that's a lot of work and doesn't reduce the reach of the inappropriate post/comment).

Now here's my question: are downvotes being disabled on "foreign" communities because of some technical limitation or is the idea that Beehaw's users should not be able to downvote, regardless of how communities may work?

OP was about data caps on landlines... yeah, at first glance I too thought it could only be mobile
