Yup agree with you there, Tabasco sauces are great. Not sure that I'd call their Sriracha an actual alternative vs the original Sriracha sauce but aside from that there's nothing wrong with their version.
I do like that they didn't add a ton of extra ingredients to their version, simple ingredient list = better IMO.
Maybe not the Tabasco Sriracha if you're looking for that Sriracha flavor. It's not bad at all but it basically tastes like Sriracha flavored Tabasco sauce. That could be a good thing, there are a ton of Tabasco sauce devotees out there, just don't expect it to taste like a proper Sriracha sauce.
A lot of these alternative Sriracha brands seem to have a ton of extra ingredients vs the original which puts me off from buying them.
Windows has its default Remote Desktop Connection that uses RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol), once enabled it will listen on port 3389. It is pretty solid and has a few features beyond VNC. Just be careful, you probably don't want to open that port onto the internet since every port scanner is scanning that port & looking for unpatched Windows vulnerabilities or insecure user/password logins.
I use RDP myself for my Windows system but I need to SSH into my network before using it, so it's really RDP over SSH. If you're not going to go through all that at the very least change the port to something else so it doesn't get port scanned to death.
.. TBH if you're not too sure about how to secure this stuff maybe Chrome Remote Desktop is the best option, at least it's secured behind your own Google account (hopefully that itself is secure and you have 2FA enabled).
VNC is the kind of the baseline remote desktop that works on pretty much any operating system. You can start there & then decide if you need specific features that the others have.
You didn't mention your own OS but it too probably already has support for its own remote desktop solution.
Screenshot the QR codes & save offline to a USB disk. Alternatively some people do print them but that only works for people that have printers or access to one. Same with the 2FA backup codes.
Or less ideal you can save them somewhere secure on your desktop/laptop/whatever, just keep in mind if you get hacked or get malware/whatever then it's game over.
If you get .flac, .wav or similar lossless music, you
shouldcould encode that with opus.
Fixed.
Unless you have a strong stance against people storing lossless files of their music? But I don't think that's quite what you meant :)
Looking specifically for men but I’m open to all opinions
Pay attention to what women are using, aside from dealing with make up the skin care routine isn't that different.
In the shower I use a daily foaming face cleanser. Using soap is worse on facial skin (ends up causing more breakouts, etc.).
I use bar soap for the rest of my shower routine.
In the mornings and evenings I moisturize dry skin areas (mainly hands and lips).
Before shaving I always exfoliate.
In the U.S. I tend to use Aveeno products for that stuff but you should be able to find equivalents of those things in Europe.
Ah I remember that one, that AI image looked just like one of those weird t-shirt spam posts LOL.
That aside not quite sure what position this community takes on AI generated posts. Personally I'm here for the normal memes so I'd probably unsub if it was flooded with AI posts, but just a random post once in a while isn't a big deal. For what it's worth there are definitely communities around that cater to AI image posts, you could try one of those instead.
investing it as a lump sum on January 1st will produce higher returns more often that investing on a monthly/weekly basis
Correct, you're referring to investing via lump sum versus DCA (dollar-cost averaging). And you also need to consider your investment's time in the market - Most often the longer you are invested the better your returns are over a long timeframe. And this is where lump sum comes in since you are investing everything as soon as possible in the tax year.
But of course no one knows the future. A terrible year in the market = your early year lump sum looking like a bad bet. But we're talking about an IRA here, the whole idea is to leave it invested long term so even a terrible year should pan out on its own over time.
All that aside if you're really worried about it and/or strongly feel that markets are going be down for the entirely of 2024 then there's nothing wrong with going DCA (investing every week/month/whatever).
Nice find, I follow Hard Times but somehow missed this one.
Not sure about your area but where I'm at a ton of smaller venues are using the dice.fm app for ticketing, it also allows users to follow venues/bands for upcoming shows.
Bandsintown also tracks bands on tour & could be useful though I get the feeling it's better for tracking bigger bands/artists.
Slightly old school but also keep in mind lots of venues/promoters still have email lists you can subscribe to for news/updates.
Beyond that I still keep an eye on Facebook/Instagram for keeping track of those things (I know that's not the answer you want sorry), a lot of times that's what the bands/artists are actually posting to.
Not sure if that's current information, with shrinkflation here in the U.S. tacos have definitely gotten smaller.
Citi Double Cash 2% for most purchases
Citi Custom Cash for specific 5% categories I can target, though in practice I usually use it for groceries
Discover Cash Back / Chase Freedom Flex for the rotating 5% categories
Personally I don't travel enough to bother with travel rewards cards but maybe that's an option for other people.
PS - I've found that Discover usually has higher discounted gift cards if you wind up using your cash back towards that, sometimes it works out better than just doing cash back against your balance.
I avoid registering at instances that have downvotes disabled. In fact I specifically joined lemmy.zip based on it having downvotes enabled. My question to you is why did you join lemmy.zip knowing that downvotes are enabled? You can see that downvotes are enabled before you make an account here :P
Can't speak for everyone but for me I rarely actually downvote unless it's someone doing obvious trolling/baiting. And usually when I see posts in the negative it's basically a warning not to bother clicking the post.
For me it was fine, maybe about 15 years ago. Small startup company I was at ran out of funding, we got something like 1-2 months severance. We all got along fine so it wasn't like everyone hated the job or the owners, sometimes startup companies just don't make it through those first few years.
Summer is probably the best time to be unemployed, spent a lot of time exploring my neighborhood during the weekday afternoons and was practicing making cold brew & other summer drinks LOL.
Was doing freelance work while being on unemployment / looking for a new steady job. Think it was about 4-5 months before I landed a new job (did get 1-2 job offers during that time but was maybe being a bit picky & turned them down).
... Also helps that I keep savings so short term unemployment won't wreck me. I've seen posts about people being out of work for years, that would be a far worse scenario.
