    That’s not normal. Not trying to sound harsh but most likely your dad doesn’t know what he’s doing / has no money to properly maintain or fix/replace the heating system you’re using now. Not sure what type of system you guys use but generally speaking well maintained heating systems do need some maintenance every year to keep them running efficiently. Usually the household does that sort of work in the fall/early winter.

    Or maybe your dad is such a penny pincher that they think $2500 or the $ for proper yearly maintenance is more money vs using space heaters. That kind of thinking is a bit silly since usually the electric bills you accumulate year over year running space heaters in every room adds up to way more than just fixing the heating system properly.





  • The whole thing sucks but your approach seems reasonable. In the grand scheme of things I’d prefer to be on an instance that allows NSFW even if that’s not what I’m normally interacting with on Lemmy. Plus a lot of things get lumped into the NSFW category which makes me wonder what else you’d end up blocking besides the pr0n stuff.

    Maybe the alternative approach is just to not bother hosting in the UK while this legislation is active but I can appreciate that may not be something you want to bother pursuing.


  • Since you mentioned it cold brew coffee is less acidic vs hot coffee and I think(?) less than hot tea as well.

    OTOH cold brewed tea probably edges out all of them in terms of low acidity.

    Not too sure if you meant hot or cold tea, just adding some extra info :) For me cold brew coffee is way, way easier to drink and it’s become my daily go-to.






  • For me it was eggs. My mom wasn’t that great a cook and she’d only make two types of eggs: hard boiled eggs or these sort of way way overcooked sunny side up eggs. Never liked either so grew up thinking I just don’t like eating eggs.

    Later on as I got older I realized there are other egg dishes and I actually really like eggs. Scrambled eggs is pretty much my favorite breakfast. A close second is egg and cheese on a bagel.



  • OtherbarrytoAsklemmy@lemmy.mlHow to get a virtual phone number?

    Issue is that I need a Paypal account, for which I need a phone number and bank account from the same country. I have Canadian bank stuff, but no Canadian phone number.

    I’m in Lebanon

    That won’t go well for you long term, Paypal will eventually catch on and permaban you. You’ll also lose whatever funds were in the account during that time.

    If you still go through with it I suspect you’ll need to figure out how to buy a non-virtual phone number, just seems like a waste of time since Paypal will eventually add it to their permaban/fraud database.




  • It’s basically what others mentioned - the code can be a long string you can enter, but usually it’s a QR image representing the code itself (I’m sure Mailchimp is going to give you a QR image when you set it up).

    Most people use a TOTP authenticator app on their phone to take a picture of that QR image & load it into their app. Once the code is generated it does not change so in theory you should be able to share that code or QR image amongst yourselves & load it into your own apps. No data/mobile connection or SMS/email required unless you’re using a specific TOTP app that needs that.

    On Android I’ve used andOTP and Google Authenticator apps with good results but there are plenty of other TOTP authenticator apps if you look around.

    PS - In terms of sharing it, just share the picture of the QR code with whatever screen/image capture tool you like to use. Just keep in mind you don’t want to keep the QR image laying around online, the whole point is to secure your Mailchimp account after all.


  • I think Mailchimp just expects each person to have their own account there, each with their own 2FA authentication. Guessing that’s not quite the answer you want :)

    Just took a look at my work’s Mailchimp and we seem to have authenticator and SMS authentication available. Can’t you just set yours to authenticator and share the code amongst yourselves? That seems easiest in your situation unless you also ruled that out.

    My Mailchimp account also has email authentication but that may be because it’s an older account, I don’t see it as an option when I look in the Security options right now. But it’s worth checking if yours has that as an option, then just set that email to a shared email and/or auto forward that incoming email to others.

    Or worst case - Not sure if feasible but maybe a shared google voice account? Services like Google voice can do sms to email so all the incoming texts can come into the email and then you can auto forward or do whatever from there.
