Depends on your local laws and such, but in most European countries you can get a prepaid SIM card for a couple of euros/pounds/whatever at any supermarket, making them practically free. If you need a temporary number for a scammy special offer or any situation where your number is publicly visible (Gumtree, etc) it’s a no-brainer IMHO.
If your phone suppprts running two SIMs at once, it has two IMEIs so as far as the network(s) are concerned it’s two distinct handsets unless they deduce otherwise.
A fun aside: years ago I did some work for a small phone company (the company was small, not the phone) and they gave me a SIM with 100 numbers in a block and access to a portal I could manage them with. Sadly, I forgot to pay the annual £10 renewal fee.
“Lies”. Just “lies”.
Wow. For real, I always just assumed that .com was the commercial arm of .org. Holy shit.
Edit: So, for anyone curious, .com is owned by Automattic, who also own Tumblr, Beeper, PocketCasts and Buddy Press. The WordPress project and .org are owned by the WordPress Foundation. Automattic makes some contributions to the WordPress project but they and the WP Foundation are seperate.

IIRC that rule applies to debit cards only, which most businesses pay a flat monthly fee to handle, as opposed to credit cards which charge a percentage. Also, fuck AMEX.
A lot of the convenience of the modern UK high street baking sector is because of Girobank, the 1960s Government’s successful attempt to force modernisation on the banking industry. When I hear about the ass-backwardsness of other country’s banking arrangements (especially the US) I give a little thankyou to Girobank.
Edit: Also, yes, tourist ATMs are predatory bullshit.
Demand GDPR. No ifs, no buts. Its even written in several languages.
I came here to say this. If anyone’s interested, here’s unedited footage of a bear.
Nothing more dangerous than a female haggis guarding her neeps.
I mean, joking aside, isn’t that how parity calculations used to work? “Got more uppy bits than downy bits - that’s a paddlin’” or something.
I maintain that it’s cheaper to buy better and keep longer, but, yeah, Vimes’ Boots strike again.
So I was about to say “I love my Fairphone 5 and recommend it wholeheartedly but it’s not supported by Lineage is yet, which is really frustrating, especially after its been out nearly a whole year”, but then I checked and - well, I’ll be damned - LineageOS does support the FP5 now so I know what I’ll be doing later on: eating chicken wings. But after that, upgrading my FP5 to LineageOS.
I read “daters” as “dealers” and I ran the whole gamut of emotions in about a half second.
charmap.exe? Holy shit. Windows 95 called, but I didn’t have a 33.6k modem ready to answer.
The whole “GayDar” thing is a total myth. We actually have Homeshexual, an autonomous self-organising cryptographic mesh network.
I think Hoyle needs to up the Lancastrian. He’s got the accent in spades, but he needs to start turning up in a flat cap and with a whippet.
No. Yes. Kind of.
My home setup is three ProLiant towers in a ProxMox cluster. One box handles all-the-time stuff like OpenWRT, file server, email, backups, and - crucially - Home Assistant and is UPS protected because of how important it’s jobs are. The other two are powered up based on energy costs; Home Assistant turns them on for the cheapest six hours of the day or when energy costs are negative and they perform intensive things like sailing the high seas, preemptive video transcoding, BOINC workloads and such. The other boxes in the photo are also on all the time basically being used as disk enclosures for the file server and they are full of mismatched hard disks that spend virtually all their time asleep. At rest the whole setup pulls about 35-40W.
Tgese Nuts lmao gottem
