I’ve been using tinfoil and it hasn’t been maintained. This is way better!

A cup full of ice cubes once a week keeps mine clean

I have a fully automatic 2x18tb magic hard drive. I’m a member of 4 private trackers. I’ve been disabling JavaScript since I could click a mouse.

404 are legit journalists and I pay the $8 a month because they do damn good work.

AMD will be able to raise prices, unfortunately.

Level1techs $100 credit reeled me in too.

Looks like legit ingredients, but it is expensive

Certainly not any evidence, as that would be illegal

It actually only checks every 30 seconds and sends an email if it fails for 3 minutes. But don’t tell the feds.

Jokes on them, Uptime Kuma pings my doorbell cams every 5 seconds and starts the self-destruct sequence if they aren’t reachable.

Twenty is my go-to. Blockus clones are fun too, and there are a lot of game modes.

This Ars article turned me on to it. Maybe click through some of his other suggestions-

Brother, obviously.

If you think you will ever use the scanner, get one that can scan to FTP. They are ~$30 more, but usually come with a document feeder too.

Then look into paperless-ngx

I have an HDHomerun tuner, it’s 2 channels for $120. I paid for plexpass and use that DVR, but the HDHR is platform agnostic.

Have you looked into becoming an Instrument Technician? It’s halfway between electrician and engineer. You can start with a contractor and if you’re any good at all a manufacturing company will “poach” you from the contractor. If you’re good at that, it’s a straight shot to Maintenance Planner, then Maintenance Manager. I’d expect that trajectory to take several years, but you’re pretty quickly out of the bull work and your tool bag will be much lighter.

Verizon and Google keep doing these wild trade in deals. They keep giving me $600+ to trade in last year’s Pixel with 3 year “financing”. So $22/mo and I always have the current Pixel. I know they’re screwing me, but I can’t figure out how 🤷🏻

A challenger arises!

I didn’t skip it, I installed ddclient.

Cloudflare is the devil!

It really was easy. And it works so well I didn’t have to lean the names of stuff haha

For anyone following along, I meant portainer to manage dockers. Podman is a different container technology it seems.

Proxmox was the answer for me. OpenMediaVault in a VM for NAS, LXC containers for things that need GPU access (Plex and frigate). Hell, I even virtualized my router. One thing I probably should have done was a single docker host and learn podman or something similar. I ended up with 8 or 9 VMs that run 8 or 9 dockers. It works great, but it’s more to manage.

You’ll want 2 network cards/interfaces- one for the VMs and another for the host. Power usage is not great using old gaming parts. Discrete graphics seem to add 40 watts no matter what. A 5600G or Intel with quicksync will get the job done and save you a few bucks a month. I recently moved to a 7700x and transcode performance is great. Expect 100-150 watts 24/7 which costs me $10-15 month. But I can compile ESPHome binaries in a few seconds 🤣

I like cosmic crisp apples.
