Honestly, a PC monitor and a separate device connected to it is probably much less bullshit.

Pihole is nice to have regardless of TVs.

Commercial displays are usually very overpriced, although if you can get a good deal that could be nice.

Not sure I’d “trust” any such menu.

PCI/GPU Passthrough is amazing.

Cat per square inch is a good unit

You’re saying I’m she 30 and olup?

Idk non English speaker misunderstood “giving the finger”?

Toxoplasmosis

Mike is chill, I like Mike.

BRB, Resurrecting the aftermarket radio.
Between this bullshit and touchscreen-only controls, I’ve ruled out quite a few models.

Hiking, painting, 3d printing, board games, gardening.
Collecting and restoring knives.

Whatever you feel like doing…
But find something that’s different enough than your future job.
I mean… I troubleshoot network stuff for a living and coming home and doing puzzles would absolutely suck, as it’s the same kind of stimuli (finding patterns).
Every job is different, and I burn out of different hobbies depending on what job I’m doing.

Yes it’s running in my reverse proxy.
Nginx is doing my “client ssl verify” in front of my web services.
You can even do this on a per uri/location.
For example, my nextcloud is open without client certs so I can share files with people, but the admin settings path is protected by client ssl.

Some apps now have support for client certs (home-assistant ❤).
Nextcloud is one of the only apps that’s open without client ssl because it’d be highly inconvenient to share a file link with someone if I had to install a cert on their devices. Plex app never works right for me so I just use the browser. My TV is too old to have old built-in so I have a VM in which I use a browser to watch plex.

Yea my server is running 128GB of RAM, no way I’m making 256GB of swap.

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.
But also sell your data.

-Meta

I do client ssl verification.
Nobody but me or my household is supposed to access those anyway.
Any failure is a ban (I don’t remember how long for).
I also ban every IP not from my country, adjusting that sometimes if I travel internationally.
It’s much easier when you host stuff only for your devices (my case) and not for the larger public (like this lemmy instance).

Paracord always comes in handy.
I don’t think I’ve ever made a camping trip where I wasn’t glad I brought a bunch of Paracord along.
It’s pretty much “essential” to me at this point.

Other stuff that I find essential, but not everyone might have on their list.

• Headlamp is probably something everyone has, but just in case.
• Dry bag and compression sack. Fit more into your pack and keep your stuff dry. A spare dry bag for the dirty laundry stuff.
• Stormproof matches, they have more in common with road flares than traditional matches. Lighters fail, wind blows them, etc. The huge storm matches never let me down. Overkill? Sure. I like to overkill my firestarting.
• If I’m going car camping where space and weight isn’t as limited: a bag of charcoal and a chimney starter. I’ve started roaring fires in heavy rain. Many a friend were made on camping sites this way.
• As we rely more on technology, my next buy is probably a portable solar charger.

Unrelated noob question, on my end I see your full user: @Barbarian@sh.itjust.works We’re on different instances, fine.
But there’s other people from sh.itjust.works in this thread and it only shows the first half of their handle, like Jakylla and Bernie Ecclestoned.

My guess is they have a display name setup and you don’t?

Second of all, the whole “build my personality to fit in” is exactly backwards.

Yea, I feel like the fediverse is what we make of it. Trying to fake it for a social net sounds sad.
If OP likes emoji, emoji away 🚀🌕
I think your take is a good one even outside of social media.
Be yourself! (Assuming you’re not a serial killer I guess)

Nice analogy thanks. Sure, everyone has email, but most don’t engage with it much and it doesn’t really have communities.
Well, to think of it, mailing lists of old would be similar to communities.

7 days is a lot.
Try and stay hydrated, don’t pass out, get well.

After the self induced constipation, they’ll need the poop knife for sure.
