When you buy a research paper, the author doesn't get any cut from it. The journals are scams, and should be destroyed. Until that happens, try searching on arxiv.org first, usually there are preprints available there. If not, contact the authors. Most of us are happy to share our results. Your local library can also help you get access to those.

These are the more legitimate ways, and then there's sci-hub. I've actually seen internationally renowned researchers open a paper using sci-hub on their laptop lol.

I remember there being some Android phone (some generation of Samsung Galaxy S series probably) with a "feature" where it pauses video playback if you look away from it. Good thing it didn't catch on.

What credit card company? That seems like such blatant fraud.

Once my friend put total in place of tips. He was very drunk that day. He went over next day to talk to them and they obviously fixed it. That seems like common sense to me.

Good thing that these things haven't really taken off in my home country. Otherwise, you don't even need to submit your DNA. If enough of your stupid relatives do it, they'll have a good idea about you.

For a total newbie, Linux Mint or PopOS are probably the best options. But EndeavourOS is getting there. There shouldn't be any issues during the installation if one sticks to the defaults. Only thing is, it doesn't come with a graphical package manager out of the box. But once that is installed (I think anyone will be happy to write a single terminal command, at least), I don't see why it's any harder to use than any other distro.

The /s doesn't really belong here.

To be fair, no one's blaming "the Jews". We're blaming Israel, which is a very different thing.

In Bengali folklore, we have this thing called Nishi. It's a nocturnal spirit that wanders around, and calls people by name. She'll knock on your door, and call you by name. If you answer, you're placed under her control. And she'll take you to some remote location, and kill you. It's also said that if she calls you 3 times, and you hear all 3 calls, there's no way you can resist answering her.

In my childhood, sometimes people would be found passed out in the forests, and it'd be attributed to the Nishi. I think that they were just drunk/high, and went along with it when the others said it was Nishi.

There's a Hindi horror comedy movie named Stree on a similar folklore from another part of India. It's pretty good, would recommend it.

Everyone is always promoting that app, so I don't understand why y'all are butthurt when anyone complains about it.

Update: Sorry guys, looks like I just needed to reboot the public server.

My goal is to forward port 8096 from my private server to my public server. That, is any traffic at public server's port 8096 should be tunneled to port 8096 of my private server and back.

I've set up a wireguard tunnel and ping is working from one device to the other. In this, 10.8.0.1 is the private server and 10.8.0.2 is the public server.

Here are my config files (/etc/wireguard/wg0).

***
On the public server
***
[Interface]
Address = 10.8.0.2/24
ListenPort = 51820
PrivateKey = *****************************************

# packet forwarding
PreUp = sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

# port forwarding
PreUp = firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port 8096/tcp
PreUp = iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 8096 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.8.0.1:8096
PostDown = iptables -t nat -D PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 8096 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.8.0.1:8096
PostDown = firewall-cmd --zone=public --remove-port 8096/tcp

# packet masquerading
PreUp = iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wg0 -j MASQUERADE
PostDown = iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o wg0 -j MASQUERADE

[Peer]
PublicKey = *****************************************
AllowedIPs = 10.8.0.1
***
On the private server
***
[Interface]
Address = 10.8.0.1/24
PrivateKey = *****************************************

[Peer]
PublicKey = *****************************************
AllowedIPs = 10.8.0.2
Endpoint = <public-server-addr>:51820
PersistentKeepalive = 25

Now, I'm trying to test the connection using netcat. I'm listening from my private server using nc -l 8096 (I've made sure that the port is unblocked) and trying to connect from a third device using nc <public-server-addr> 8096 but it's not working.

I have no idea what's going on here. Some help from experienced people is very appreciated.

Being Indian, it was a constant source of annoyance for me how hating on India and Indians was normalized, and almost seen as cool on Reddit. I haven't seen it on Lemmy so far.

It was weird, since hating black people or asians was frowned upon (as it should be). But for some reason, Indians were fair game.

Gotta say, it feels better when people don't try to insult you for your identity. I never took them seriously, but it was very annoying indeed.

It shows that there are 12 posts, but I'm unable to see them. It's a local community that I moderate. I tried to make a post. There were no errors. I'm even able to access the post here but it's not visible in the community. The post doesn't show up on my profile either. But there are some posts visible if I look at them from another instance e.g. through lemmy.world. The linked posts still doesn't show up, but could be due to delay in federation.

Edit: Just checked, this post doesn't show up on my profile either. But if I make a comment on another instance, it does show up on my profile. Weird.

UPDATE: It was happening due to a very stupid reason. I had unchecked "show read posts" in my settings. I do think that this isn't intended, since it should only affect the homepage/feed/whatever it's called here and not the profile pages and communities.

I like to cook, and for that I need a place where I can keep all my recipes. I'm currently using the app My Recipe Box. But it's closed source and full of ads. While the pro version is pretty cheap, I wanted to see if there were any open source apps for this.

Selfhosted apps will be nice. I'm fine with web access and no native app as well. If not selfhosted, I can also manage with open source apps with automatic backup of some sort.

The only feature that I really need is recipe scraping. Thanks for all your suggestions.
