The third one is definitely rooted in coastal Southern California, but has tinges of other accents. As you pointed out, this accent could be from anywhere in the US as the sound has propogated via popular media.

As a native Los Angelino it sounds to me like a guy in Northern California or maybe PNW who spent a lot of time on the east coast.

It's different enough from the beachy LA or Orange County sound for me to pick out that there's some other influence there.

I'm following for responses here, great questions!

I don't know much about the security of running those services relative to each other, but I have some practical experience.

I ran sshd for decades, and pushed a local socks tunnel through it to emulate VPN. I initially chose this route because it worked on all desktop OS and Android without needing to figure out all of the client VPN software, and I already had SSH everywhere.

In the last couple of years Wireguard became natively available on my network equipment (UniFi Ubiquiti) so I moved all of my client devices over and closed down the external SSH port. I connect to it using IP, but use Syncthing to keep my host IP updated in case it changes, which has happened exactly once in the last 7 years (I used this mechanism when I was running ssh as well). I've been very happy.

Performance relative to socks over SSH is better. Client resource usage is lower (mainly looking at battery life), so much so that all my client devices (even mobile phones) run Wireguard always turned on. Fewer networks block Wireguard than SSH (I used to have to run ssh over DNS ports with other trickery to get around hotel and airplane wifi restrictions).

I now carry a small wifi router in my travel kit that bridges/clones connections to public wifi and runs Wireguard natively so every device I care about can just jump on that while I'm traveling. I only have to connect it to public wifi and no longer have to mess with the rest of my devices. I can even run Chromecast and stream media from my home while connected to a hotel TV. It's all very seamless.

Thank you, I'm one of these people, as are most of the folks I know. I'll eat maybe a couple of teaspoons of honey per year, tops. And I cook 3 meals a day at home, from scratch, every day.

Honey is great, I love bees, but I don't actually eat much honey.

All you have to do is look at what happened to the conservative community. There was a post asking whether it was meant for trolling conservatives or for actual discussion, and the resounding answer was that no conversation was possible with conservatives or anyone who holds right of center views.

There were a few lemmings who posted in support of allowing conservatives to have a place to chime in, and they were downvoted into oblivion.

That's being bullied off of Lemmy, which is fine, communities are self organized and managed, and chasing away wrongthink is apparently what the vast majority of this platform wants.

Again, all of that is fine, but we shouldn't pretend chasing those people off wasn't the intended outcome, or that this isn't an echo chamber.

Hard disagree. Try making a sauce which requires high heat, then very low heat. Turning the electric burner down doesn't immediately reduce heat, it cools off relatively slowly. I guess you could switch to another burner that was preheated to a low temp, assuming you have a free burner while cooking.

I've worked for years in several professional kitchens and cook 3 meals a day, 7 days a week from scratch at home. I know how to use the tools in a kitchen, and non-induction electric burners are absolute garbage.

I absolutely agree. I'm happy to switch to a new technology as long as it performs at least as well as my current implementation.

I have a few cast iron and carbon steel pans, but most of my cooking vessels are thick copper (not copper inserts, full 3mm or more copper). Copper pans are superior to any other material (unless you prioritize cost) and are sadly incompatible with induction.

Don't even talk to me about electric element (non induction) stoves, they're garbage for heat control.

Just pointing out the person you replied to said CO which is carbon monoxide, not CO2

The lack of formatting in their comment was confusing.

That said, you're right that CO (or CO2) aren't the only harmful outputs of combustion.
