I use them for email and I'm not moving anytime soon. Thankfully, 98% of my email, probably more like 99.9% if I'm being honest, is just worthless junk. I don't care if they see it. I was self-hosting my email server for like eight years until Debian decided to just eviscerate itself one day on a system update for some reason. I gave up, moved to them, and I don't have the time or the energy to move again.

I don't use any of their other services. I have my own seafile for file storage. I have my own Wireguard on a VPS for VPN usage. Etc etc

That's very strange. LEDs love the cold. It's heat that kills them. Although if it's not an outdoor rated virgin, it could be suffering moisture issues.

While everyone is making jokes about sex, Barkley basically just used it as an escape. He created fake versions of his friends and coworkers that he could more easily be confident around, and you being asexual does not preclude you! We are all equally vulnerable yay~

Yeah, somewhere in this ridiculous thread I mentioned I also used a different vehicle to do a pass by of each other to make sure it was good. It's also just pretty easy to see where the light is. The cutoff is quite sharp and defined. It's fairly clear what it's hitting and what it's not.

Not in the EU but no the car came with projectors already i just changed the bulbs

As I mentioned, that's true regardless of light type. I am just as blinded by the people with standard lights on an incline as they are by my LEDs. That's just part of driving on an incline at night. People that have driven at night more than once in their life just learn to hold up one of their hands on a steep incline.

It's less I like the bright lights and more the whole there is no other source of light anywhere near me. I'm on a rural highway and I would like to be able to see the deer before I'm on top of them.

Mild unlevelness is taken into account with my aiming, obviously I can't do anything about us going opposing directions on a steep incline, but that's true of any headlight type.

To be fair, depending on the housing, alignment is nearly impossible. Many housings are simply not designed to have a sharp cut off. As far as I'm concerned, LEDs should only be allowed in projector housings with projector lenses. Those are the ones that have a damn near razor blade level of light cutoff, so when you aim them to just below the windshield level of most vehicles, it's not going to blind them at all.

That is what I have done with my car, I have LEDs brighter than the sun, but I have them in projector housings with projector lenses, and I have them aimed to be below the windshield level of a typical sedan, not a stupid SUV or truck. So nobody ever flashes me or gets annoyed and I have tested by having a friend Drive towards me on a road in the car while I am in a different car

It has the added benefit of my high beams are still mostly road level rather than up in the trees like many peoples so for like a mile in front of me it is just daytime which is very helpful out where I live in the middle of absolute nowhere rural where streetlights are just a myth and the deer are plentiful.

My daughters tho, haha jk.... Unless?

I remember way back when with the Folding at Home project. That's a type of machine learning distributed. People happily contributed their computer time. Hell, there were contests around how much compute time a particular group could give.

Yeah, when I say I don't do politics, it's not because I don't care about the problems or they don't affect me, it's because I'm tired of talking about it, I have enough other shit in my life that's stressing me out and it's not going to do anything anyway.

I'm one of the daily shower people, and I wash my sheets weekly. I shower before bed. The routine helps me get tired and ready for sleep. And it helps keep my bed nice and soft and clean until the next wash.

Don't understand people that think that means you go through your day smelly. If you're heavily sweating in your sleep, perhaps you should consider less blankets? Doesn't sound very comfortable. I wake up dry and still smelling fresh from the shower.
