I gave up reddit the day apollo stopped working and I will quit youtube the day I have to see any ads whatsoever. It just frees up time to do other, more fulfilling, things.

MacBooks on Avocado toast. Sounds lovely.

Live Kit may be what you are looking for. Haven’t tried this myself, but it looks straight forward. You basically turn an already installed system into a live distro.

I am thinking about .Xresources, for example, and gtk things and other files in .config. I didn’t mean the DE specific dotfiles.

😂

May I ask why you have 5+ DEs installed? And also, isn’t that quite the mess with all the dotfiles?

That was brilliant. And I loved it.

It’s a bit rich for a site that uses about 200 „legitimate interest“ cookies to complain about chinese practices.

I just assume you are in the US and i can’t speak for the situation there. Here in the EU there are plenty of options. Sure it’s a bit more expensive sometimes, but often times it’s not.

And the convenience, I get it. Amazon customer support is unbeatable. From what I hear it is getting worse, though.

For me in the EU it is possible, but sometimes a struggle. The ideological thing makes it worth it for me, and if there are more and more people that don’t use Amazon (as often), there may be a time when it dies.

The only items I bought on Amazon since coronavirus hit are a phone charger, some shirts that aren’t available anywhere else and a pedal for a sewing machine.

So I can’t tell you an alternative the alternative you are looking for, but for me it is a lot of small to large online stores and some offline stores as well. There isn’t quite something as convenient that has virtually everything out there, afaik.

Or, here’s a crazy idea: don’t shop on amazon at all.

Manjaro i3

I change it, because my distro came with pale moon browser which looks like something from the early 2000s

I feel what you are saying, but tech ceos explaining governments things is the problem. I do agree with the rest of what you said.

Or just give them access to ombi which has great granular controls what users can and cannot do.

I recommend sponsorblock browser extension. Skips sponsored segments automatically.

That you probably need a VPS for, yes.

You forgot something in your calculations, you don’t need a complete VPS for the *arrs. App hosting/seedboxes are enough for that and you can have them for very, very cheap.

1 cubic decimeter = 1 liter. Period.

Depending on where you are, a hard drive that runs 24/7 can cost you quite a bit of money (6$/month or even more for just the hard drive). If you consider the upfront cost of a hard drive, the benefit of hosting at home gets even smaller. Nvme is where you really save money hosting at home. Personally I do both, because cloud is cheap and you can have crazy bandwiths.
