Yeah, toilets in American homes tend to rely on a siphon to evacuate the bowl so the outlet has to be narrower. Also, Bidets are not very common so most people [insufficiently] clean themselves with toilet paper which is prone to causing clogs.
Personally, I installed a bidet a few years ago and I would never go back to not having one.
Forget taking over my job. AI is headed straight for the C suite.

You could probably replace several senior executives with Excel and it would probably do the job better
We all need someone to look up to. Eventually YOU become the person that people look up to, especially if you have kids. I think about that often and it’s sobering because it’s a huge responsibility.
If those are the right boots, what do you do differently to keep them from leaking?

My Gay Friend: Works in an office. Pretty good with Excel. Plays golf on Saturdays. Likes cats. Has a boyfriend but still trying to decide if he’s ready for a serious commitment. Just wants to be treated like a regular human being.
Nice to see they’re still chugging the AI Koolaid after completely blundering their test rollout of AI search results.
We have to get those bugs to production as quickly as possible to follow the “move fast, break things” directive.
“Uh huh.”
This is a pretty good summary. In enterprise networking, it’s common to have the ‘DMZ’, the network for servers exposed to the internet, firewalled off from the rest of the system.
If you have a webserver, you would need two sets of ports open, often on two separate firewalls. On the WAN firewall, you would open ports 80/443 pointing to the webserver. On the system firewall, between the DMZ and LAN, you would open specific ports between the webserver and whatever internal resources it needs; a database server for example.
This helps limit the damage if a malicious actor hacks into your webserver by making sure they don’t also have unrestricted access to other parts of your system. It’s called a layered security approach.
However, someone self hosting may not have the expertise or even the hardware to set up their system like this. A VPS for public facing services, as long as it’s configured properly, can be a good alternative. It also helps if you have a dynamic WAN IP address and/or are behind CG-NAT.
Edit: maybe good to mention that securing your local network behind a VPN, even one hosted on your local network, is more secure than allowing public facing services. Yes, it means you still have to open a port. But that’s useless to a malicious actor without the encryption keys. Whereas, if you have a webserver exposed publicly, malicious actors already have some level of access to your system. More than they would if that service didn’t exist anyway. That’s not inherently bad. It comes with the territory when you’re hosting public services. It is more more risky though. And, if the exposed server is compromised, it can potentially open up the rest of your system to compromise as well. Like the original commenter said, it’s about managing risk and different network configurations have different levels of risk.
It’s amazing what you can do with Excel if you know how. It makes it so easy to analyze complex data sets, accidentally summon the Dark Lord, create pivot tables and graphs, etc.
Honestly, stuff that probably isn’t an issue for most people. I needed a solution that handles personal and business accounting since my wife and I own a small businesses. I also like the fact that Quicken’s reporting is a lot more “conventional” than pretty much any other other personal finance software. It doesn’t take an act of God to produce a balance sheet, income, and cash flow statements.
I use Quicken Classic since our finances are too complex for YNAB or Simplifi. However, I think Quicken will give you a refund within the first 30 days if you don’t like Simplifi.

At a former job, there was one – and only one – lady in customer service who would actually reboot and do all the basic troubleshooting steps before calling IT. If we heard from her, we knew something was legitimately broken. Oddly enough, I’m married to her now. Best decision I ever made.
