He looks like an older Tom Scott.

My pleasure, hope it helps. Good luck!

I personally hadn’t heard the ten fingers metaphor - it makes sense but I wasn’t familiar. I do know of the five eyes but likely wouldn’t have made the connection.

If you are taking my thoughts into consideration: no matter how meaningful your project name is, it doesn’t matter if it’s not unique. Now that I know what it means, I can appreciate it, but (until it gets big) I still need to look it up. If you called it something like “Avoid the Ten Fingers” or “Ten Fingers Privacy” it would be a lot easier to find (note that I don’t recommend either of those names, but you’re welcome to them if you find them palatable).

I’m thinking of “ungoogleable.” My best example of this used to be the band “The The” but I guess Google cottoned on to this because they’re the first result now.

Anyway, I’ve never done any promoting of any kind. Please do not take my advice as any kind of expertise. Good luck with your promoting!

Hello! To be clear, first, this is all subjective. My opinion doesn’t mean much.

However, if you’re inclined to consider my opinion, the intro page was largely fine. Yes, it could be improved, but so could pretty much any intro/about page. I, an amateur, wouldn’t consider that my priority were I in your position.

The problem I had was that you didn’t show up when I searched for the exact name of your project. I have never done SEO so I can’t specifically suggest improvements in that regard … Except that your project name is fairly generic and not really related to the function of the software. Unless you get big, people are going to have trouble finding you. You should go for something more specific or at least unique.

Otherwise, as I said, at a glance your tool looks pretty cool. I wish you luck with it.

Tenfingers needs to work on their SEO; I searched for exactly that and most of the first few results were 10fastfingers, which is exactly what came to my mind when I read your post! Even the first one that seemed to be what you’re referencing was about how to install it, rather than what I was trying to find: what it is.

Sounds like a nifty tool, I’ll have to investigate it. Thanks for introducing me to it.

For anyone who, like me, was unfamiliar but curious: https://www.tenfingers.org/introduction.html

You do now!

Why is that not ASA? Or even ASSA.

We are all the cardiac system of Theseus on this glorious day.

I misread that as “self-loathing” and the answer was obvious.

But what temperature?!

FWIW, my reference was to H2G2 and the Heart of Gold.

If a highly improbable spaceship had to dedicate all of its processing power to making a cup of tea, I suppose I can forgive an end user for having to think about it.

That occurred to me while writing my comment, as well, and I don’t like the implications.

I would imagine they have to ask you, yes. If the toilet can be flushed without authentication, they’d probably still have to ask you how.

I have no interest in one, but playing devil’s advocate, some might consider it more sanitary since you don’t have to touch the toilet to flush and have the choice of not being near it, hopefully avoiding any spray.

Also, if your guests use the restroom, you can startle them at any time.

If replacing an existing server, make sure to wipe the disk during install.

It’s too bad that, at least for me, your comment doesn’t come immediately after this one.

That’s … Pretty depressing.

I was going to post a note about typewriters, allegedly from Tom Hanks, which I saw years and years ago; but I can’t find it.

Turns out there’s a lot of Tom Hanks typewriter content out there.

I tried to buy an external 20TB drive from Amazon twice. First one that came, I bought refurbished; the drive had been shucked and replaced with a 146GB drive.

Second one I bought was 20TB, but was clicking and grinding from the moment I turned it on. When I tried to initiate a return saying “drive is clicking and grinding, indicating that it’s failing,” their support bot helpful informed me that a clicking and grinding drive usually indicated drive failure.

They did accept the return for the latter. They also accepted a return for the former, but it took literal months and several support interactions where the (seemingly real) agents actively lied to me.

I’ve had okay luck with smaller Amazon drives in the past, but will have trouble recommending them for this kind of purchase in the future.

It’s amazing how much I agree with (almost) every response to this post (so far).

It was indeed unpopular at the time and not widely known now. I personally actually enjoyed the action (I think the final gunfight is one of the best or at least most fun I’ve ever seen), but I understand how it would be unappealing to some.

As I mentioned, Christian Bale’s performance is allegedly what got him the role of Batman, so make of that what you will.

It’s also worth mentioning that there are enjoyable qualities to the movie even discarding the action. If and when you do watch it, I hope you enjoy it!
