This tangent you've been dragged on is so, so irrelevant to the thread, but I wanted to chime in with a couple bits of info that might be genuinely helpful to try to counterbalance the "lmao u doin it wrong and lyin" troll

First - Even if you pay your statements in full to avoid interest charges, the amount of utilization on the card at the time the report is made to the credit bureau is what affects your score. As silly as it seems, even 10% utilization can bring your score down. I have seen it recommended to stay under 8% or around 6%. So one thing you could do is make a payment a couple days before your statement period ends to fine-tune the balance down to something that will look attractive on your credit report. If you are already able to pay things off in full, this should be doable with minimal shuffling around. Utilization doesn't have "memory" so one bad month is not going to drag your score down for a long time.

Second - If you have or can get a credit card with a decent cashback or rewards program, you might be able to put some of those larger transactions on the credit card and come out ahead even with the fees. This is going to be highly sensitive to the specifics though and the card usually needs to have no annual fees or it eliminates the possibility.

The entitlement of some Ontario drivers is absolutely astonishing. They are fully aware that you are breaking the law by going 15% over the speed limit. And yet they victimize themselves? in c/ontario@lemmy.ca

I think the distinction they're trying to make is that whether or not a given speed feels unsafe on a road doesn't necessarily correlate with whether it actually is unsafe.

[Politics] What is, in your opinion, a necessary set of minimal restrictions on freedom of thought, speech and expression? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

There is no situation where something is not abusable. doesn't mean you cannot have that thing. It means you figure out how to improve the consequences for the abuser.

Really showing off your capacity for nuance in that comment

I disagree, it's more extra than being asked to tip at a counter service restaurant

Walking is a normal thing that every able-bodied person should be doing plenty of every day - assuming that this basic act must be "trying to better themselves" is condescending and infantilizing IMO.

Is it weird I don't typically answer how old I am anymore, because literally nobody besides my family believes me? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Even if it's annoying now, future you will miss the lost youth later! I can imagine it being annoying when dating though especially if you're more mature than most of the people you attract

Are there sites like iBuyPower but less focused on RGB? Looking to start planning a build/purchase (fedia.io)
 

I'm thinking about buying a new PC in the next month or two. I don't play a whole lot of recent games, though it'd be nice to have the option, and I think I'd probably end up with a capable GPU anyway if I want something capable of 3d rendering like Blender, and possibly fooling around with local LLMs.

Function wise, I'm thinking I want a solid CPU, and to stack it with RAM, VRAM, and storage. and I think liquid cooling might be overrated if I don't plan to OC it. It'll also likely be migrating to Linux in a year or two when Windows 10 finally dies, if there are hardware concerns with that.

Aesthetics wise, Mainly I am not too interested in having everything be RGB. I would also prefer plastic paneling over glass; my computer case hangs from a desk mount and in the unlikely event that it has a structural failure I'd like to be more worried about the computer hardware than picking shards out of my skin.

I'm not opposed to building something myself from parts, but I wouldn't mind looking at builders / pre built as an option.

High rate of HTTP 5XX errors in the past day or so. (fedia.io)
 

It's probably already on your radar but I didn't see a thread* about it so I figured I would mention it.

Seen 502 when trying to load the main page, and on occasion when viewing my feed on mobile web the page would transition to a 503 or 504 error seemingly without my input.

Periodic issues connecting to https://fedia.io (fedia.io)
 

Hi,

Every so often, when I try to browse to https://fedia.io through my browser bookmark, I receive an error resolving the domain. Firefox suggests https://www.fedia.io but navigating there gives me an HSTS error (picture attached, hopefully.)

Usually, if I check back 15 minutes or so after this occurs, https://fedia.io will load normally, and then https://www.fedia.io actually loads the landing page for:

Books.Infosec.Exchange A Bookwyrm Instance for Infosec.Exchange

I'm not quite sure if this is an issue with my network or a problem with the instance itself. However, I thought I would report it. Let me know if there is any other information I can provide that will be helpful in figuring this out.

[US] Looking for some ideas for freelance work / "side hustle" (fedia.io)

Title. I found out recently that I need some major dental work in the near future and I don't have a damn clue how I am going to raise the extra money. I want to explore any realistic options for increasing my earnings before I have to resort to taking on debt, and I suspect that soliciting ideas in a semi-public place like this will turn up a lot of ideas I would never have considered myself.

I'm not very physically fit, but I am pretty good with computers generally, and I've picked up a little bit of programming in my free time this year, though I wouldn't sell myself as a freelancer in that department or anything. I am also pretty good at proofreading / nitpicking things, my regular job is in QA.

Thank you in advance for any input.
