While not the same website, this reddit thread from several years ago is the only thing coming up on Google for me and everyone in there has had the same thing happen to them: the Screen Time settings in iOS showing some website being up 24/7
It should be noted I don't have Verizon, have never been to verizon.com, and don't even use Safari as my browser. I have -0- idea how in the world this is showing up, and so it automatically makes me assume my phone has been hacked somehow (but try to remind myself that tech is also just wonky).
I set the screen time limit to 1 minute, and it has not showed up again as an app that has even been used. This is on a iPhone XS on iOS 15.4.1
Does anyone have any idea what this means or why this would happen?

Should I boost my monthly ETF investments? (Europe/Germany)
I know most here are US-based, but I thought I'd give this a shot. I've been running a pretty straightforward ETF portfolio through Ergo in Germany for a while now. Here's my current breakdown:...
I know most here are US-based, but I thought I'd give this a shot.
I've been running a pretty straightforward ETF portfolio through Ergo in Germany for a while now. Here's my current breakdown:
- 25% in iShares MSCI EM IMI ESG Screen UCITS ETF
- 25% in iShares MSCI Europe ESG Enhanced UCITS ETF
- 50% in iShares MSCI World SRI UCITS ETF EUR
I've recently freed up an extra €500 monthly that I'm looking to invest and am wondering if it would make sense to just bump up my monthly contribution from €1,000 to €1,500 while keeping the same allocation percentages, or should I consider doing something different with this extra cash?
For context, I've got my emergency fund covered (one year's expenses) and no debt to worry about.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

I’m wondering what people choose to drink with a Mac and cheese meal? This has long been a conundrum for me. Probably for 20 years I have finished making the mac only to stop for a minute and think “should I have milk? Water? Soda/pop? Something else?”
Seriously, I have this question almost every time. Doesn’t matter if it’s homemade mac or kraft box. For the last 8 years it hasn’t really come up because I just didn’t buy mac and cheese (box “dinner”), but now I have a kid coming into the age where they want it occasionally so it’s back on the menu.
Am I being weird about this?
Are there other foods that people have a hard time pairing with a drink?

Update on Tildes codebase: Less community fork, more official maintainers

Last month we started a community-maintained fork of the Tildes codebase. A lot has happened since then.
The biggest change: @Bauke and I have been added as maintainers to the official Tildes repo! As a result, we're moving the community fork to the backburner for now, as we focus on nearer-term changes that will directly improve the main website. Later on it's possible we'll pick up the fork again, where it will likely serve the purpose of self-hosting your own Tildes spinoff sites.
Deimos still has the final say on what makes it to the website. Bauke and I can't deploy changes directly. However, this arrangement is still much more streamlined than before, because we now have a lot more code review bandwidth for accepting outside contributions. Deimos has less work to do now: mostly testing out the live code on a staging server, and scanning over the code for security/privacy issues—but not full code reviews which often involve a lot of back-and-forth communication and reading and testing code.
What work have we done this past month?
It's mostly been setting up foundational stuff like configuring the GitLab repository, fixing the development environment, and writing docs.
More recently we have started fixing actual website bugs too: a bug when escaping a user mention (making sure
\@talklittle
doesn't turn into a link), and hiding<details>
content in collapsed comments. Starting small but we've found a good rhythm and will work on more and bigger issues soon.Big props to @Bauke for setting up a staging server! Currently at https://testing.tildes.community/ — This server will be instrumental in getting new code in a testable state in a live environment, which makes it easier to approve new features before deploying on the real Tildes site.
So we shouldn't submit code to the community fork?
No, please don't. We'll use the official Tildes repo from now on. I'll update last month's post to reflect this.
Is Docker support coming to the official repo?
Yes, very likely. Deimos has warmed up to the idea. Bauke and I have been using the Docker development environment and ironed out a lot of bugs this past month.
The official repo looks the same as before?
Our next steps are to port the community fork changes back upstream to the official repo. In addition to the master branch, we plan to add staging and develop branches. develop will be where development happens, while master will reflect what is currently deployed on Tildes.net.
How do I contribute to Tildes development?
