When will the floss stop hurting in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Try a waterpik, or just go easier on yourself. Also grandma is right, flossing is really good for you and will improve your oral health a lot. I floss basically after every time I eat, it's just automatic and feels so good to have clean teeth

With the ubiquity of inflation and shrinkflation, why aren't there more boycotts? When will people say enough is enough? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Nestlé does indeed suck. Here's a list of their properties if anyone wants to join:

Why are they cowards? Why would they care if it doesn't affect their daily lives? Obviously some people care, but the majority would indeed just shrug and go back to making ends meet.

After five years in early access, Satisfactory will finally launch into 1.0 later this year in c/gaming@kbin.social

EXCITED. Even Update 3 was completely fun and enjoyable to play. I've been putting off playing again because there were so many breaking changes in the later updates.

I just liked the vibe and name of Kbin. It reminded me of Kerbin, the home planet in Kerbal Space Program.

I later learned it might be the Polish word for magazine. The "subreddits" here are called magazines, but it could also mean like gun magazine. The latter of which I don't really care for (especially as a US user), but in the end, I don't really gaf. It's just a chill place to hang out.

I lost my coat somewhere along the way

This reminds me of a friend after a long night out. I let them borrow my (thankfully cheap) coat because it was cold out, and we hopped on a bus to get home. I look over and the coat was gone. Friend had no clue what happened. We were both super tired and out of it but yeah it just disappeared on the journey lol.

A new trend in tipping emerges in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

I would like to change the title from "a new trend in tipping" to a "a new trend in being an asshole".

How TCP and UDP packets come to the world in c/programmerhumor@lemmy.ml

What do you mean interception is at a different layer? You can capture at any layer as long as the payload isn't encrypted, and if it is, you still get layers 1 through 4 (Physical, Link, Network, and Transport).

Wanna hear a UDP joke?

Nevermind, you wouldn't get it.

You'd have to be somewhere in the route from A to B to intercept it. But TCP is no different in that regard.

TCP is connection based so both sides need to agree to connect before data is exchanged. UDP is connectionless, so it will send data from A to B (and vice versa) regardless of if the other side is available.
