  • A guy walk into a bar and pulls out a scale model of a grand piano, as well as a wooden puppet. The puppet immediately animates and starts playing the piano.

    After a perfect performance of Mozart’s piano sonata No.11, the puppet gets up, bows to the audience and falls lifeless to the ground. Everyone is astounded.

    The bartender asks the guy: “That was great! If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get a puppet like this?”

    The guy hands him an old golden oil lamp. “You see, I found this lamp. If you rub it and say what you want, a genie pops out and grants the wish. Give it a try, if you want!”

    The bartender is sceptical, but tries anyway. “I wish for a million bucks!” Immediately the bar is filled with a giant flock of ducks. On the tables, on the bar, on the ground, ducks are everywhere.

    “What the fuck?! That’s not what I asked for!”

    The guy chuckles. “O yeah, the genie is hard of hearing. Did you really think I asked for an eight inch pianist?”













  • It is more efficient to have a ship moving with cargo than without, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t additional emissions. The ratio of profit to effort is just higher because there is some profit as opposed to none. You wouldn’t load a ship up with useless mass you can’t sell just so you’re shipping something.

    Your argument is like always running the heater in your car because that way the engine heat is at least used for something. Yes, technically the efficiency goes up because more of the energy in the fuel is harnessed. But that doesn’t mean the fuel usage or emissions are any lower, and in the summer the heater doesn’t do you any good either.

    I have my pi-hole setup as the upstream DNS in my router, with cloudflare as a secondary DNS. That way, all my devices always use the router for DNS (since that’s what is advertised in my DHCP) and the router then uses pi-hole if it’s available, or cloudflare if it isn’t. But the individual device doesn’t get to choose between different servers.
