In the phrase "security through obscurity", obscurity means obscuring how the system works, eg making the source code secret. Mac being less popular has nothing to do with security through obscurity. The argument is that a less deployed platform is a less valuable target, which is absolutely true.

I'm assuming you've never seen a bicycle child seat? Fits on standard bikes: https://specials-images.forbesimg.com/imageserve/5ef62a3b8826b50007fe74a1/960x0.jpg

For up to 3 kids you can use a longtail cargo bike: https://xtracycle.com/cdn/shop/files/eStoker-Matte-Black-1536x1024.jpg - I see those hauling kids all over the Boston metro area since there are decent bike lanes and paths there.

And if you need to haul more kids than that, get ready to have your mind blown: https://youtu.be/uHsAaZI3hfc

Yeah so you're essentially holding your breath while you do it, so you'd need to take a break to breathe in and if you're trying to siphon you would need to seal your lips to prevent losing your progress / prevent the liquid from falling back down. But you can exhale while doing it, which also helps to make sure your don't accidentally inhale whatever fumes you're "pumping".

Granted it's kind of a silly thing to do and only marginally useful. Each cycle only moves a mouthful of air so I only find it useful for clearing trace amounts of isopropyl fumes from vapes and pipes without hurting my throat, but a fun trick nonetheless if you have the coordination. And depending on the fumes it might still burn your nostrils a bit.

Maybe the better way to explain the technique is: you can close the back of your throat and move your tongue back and forth to push air in and out of your mouth. You can also close your lips and do the same motion with your tongue to push air in and out your nose. All you really need to do is alternate between the two so that instead of pushing the air back out your mouth, you push it out your nose.

Why don't you just try it...? It's not that hard to do. Just relax your sinus muscles and close your lips, then alternate between using your tongue to fill the space in your mouth pushing air out your nose and moving your tongue out of the way to create a void, sucking air back in. If you can coordinate this while also alternating between closing your sinuses and opening your lips while you create the void in order to suck air in your lips, and then closing your lips and opening your sinus so that the air gets pushed out your nose, then you'll be able to pump air from your mouth out your nose without using your lungs.

Ah I thought you meant that you got sick from getting the fumes into your lungs. That's unfortunate.

I just run them side by side on the same nuc. All my friends still use Plex though I think because the apps look nicer. I wish jellyfin had federated features so that you could choose to use a single account across many friends instances. I still use Plex because I don't want to deal with syncing watched status between instances.

Pro tip for sucking volatile gases, you can suck air into your mouth and push it out your nose without it going into your lungs. I do that when I clean glass pieces with iso when there's still some vapors present. If you exhale out your nose while you do this you can be extra sure none goes into your lungs. Granted you should also be sure you're actually pulling liquid if you're trying to syphon, but at least you wouldn't be pulling into your lungs.

Same, it's always good to have a snap gun, plug spinner, and lishi tool on hand.

But only if you can reverse time for a bit

Bitwarden with the self hosted vaultwarden server then, that way you get the nice bitwarden experience, apps, browser plugins, but all hosted on your own hardware. I run my vaultwarden server on my synology.

Imagine calling the holder of a masters degree in climate science an "influencer"

Imo calling his channel satire for his use of comedy is akin to calling TechLinked satire because of their use of comedic quips, heckler, and goofy quick bits transitions. Satire implies a level of irony or insincerity, which I don't think code report falls under. His videos might be comedic but the topics covered are serious and factual.
