Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I love this in general, unfortunately for me my dad is a retired network engineer 😫

He still shouldn't be able to circumvent a solid password. Sure, if the cell has signal, the home wifi settings won't matter, but...

Solid password of what? The router admin panel? On the router that is physically in his home? He can just factory reset that router, and presto... Password is gone.

You'd have to cut off VPN, SSH, and proxies, too, and to stop a really slippery network person from getting around that, you'd have to inspect protocol, not just block ports.

Yea, true. There are also plenty of external DNS servers, so pretty hosed anyways without controlling the devices they use directly.

As long as you hold the passwords...
