  • Yeah, well, people are not like that around here. Once you buy something 2nd hand, that's it, you're stuck with it, no refunds, no replacements.

  • This is where I draw the line.

  • Poseidon is missing...

  • Joke as old as time, but it's the fact that it's on Lemmy that warms my heart 🥹.

  • Systemd has gone way and beyond what was supposed to be a replacement for init.rc.

    Most important thing... not ALL Linux distros include systemd as the default init system. That's the beauty of Linux (and POSIX in general), you can choose.

  • Tell them to write it off as engineering samples 🤷. That's the only thing that comes to mind...

    Maybe if you write what tax deductions you have on import, I might have better ideas 😉.

  • You tell him to send it as a person 🤷.

    What I've found out over the years is that Chinese will agree to almost anything to make a sale 😂.

    And you can always claim engineering samples if it's a gift from a company 😉.

  • Any form of crackers works for me. Cheese flavored are the best for me, but just about any form of crackers or food that is well baked.

  • I know I can't win... that's about it 🤣.

  • They do, they really do 😂. There is this one gal, Melanie, she calls me personally to ask me "how long do you plan on doing this 😒... eventually you're gonna get caught 😒" 🤣🤣🤣. I just say "I have no idea what you're talking about, I just have a lot of relatives in wherever" 🤣🤣🤣.

  • Yep, works on the Balkans 👍.

    They can't charge you for anything, since they'd have to check if it's really a gift or not, and they'd rather sit on their asses than do that 😂.

  • Yeah, you can use it for a blog or something, just don't put anything on the host.

    Than again, there's blogspot...

  • Tell them to mark it as a gift, works around here 🤷.

  • Love the gold tooth touch 🤣🤣🤣.

  • One thing I've learned over the years dealing with PC tech is that spinning drives is the one thing you absolutely don't buy second hand. Plus, you can't find 4TB or above drives second hand here. People use them till they die or repurpose them.

    Second hand PC parts are generally overpriced here. People wanna get like 70, 80% of the price they paid for them. There are some reasonable sellers, but as I said, they usually don't sell drives or sell drives that no one would need anyway (250GB, 500GB, 1TB spinning drives).

    Your last suggestion is kinda good to be honest, I might opt for that.

  • You don't spit in your old well after you've dug a new one 😉.

  • Well, the challenge is interesting though... but yes, you are correct.
