  • And that's why I have no friends, because when I propose "walking to my house to tell me" as an alternate method of communication, they throw their hands to the air and say "that's it, you're too much of a hassle"

  • I understand why is the device so expensive (they wanted to make sure that everyone in the manufacture pipeline is properly paid, and that the materials are ethically sourced as much as humanly possible) but yeah, unless I can be absolutely sure that I won't be changing devices in the next five years, I don't think I'll be able to afford this one.

  • Well, if I couldn't afford a subscription service before, now I absolutely can't. Problem is I'm too much of a goody two-shoes and as a result I don't pirate either - I genuinely haven't seen a single TV series in almost a decade as a result, and at this point I'm scared of people expecting me to understand cultural references I can't afford to legally learn

  • I have a list of subscriptions, a rather large one at that. One good day I decided to start trimming the fat and remove accounts I didn't quite follow, or that made me lose too much time watching them. No need for recommendations if I already have like a thousand channels followed

  • My case is a variant of that - I used to host on a VPS, but the storage available was extremely expensive for, say, more than 16 GB. Tired of having to trim data literally daily, I went and purchased a home server with all the storage I would need. The problem? My home internet, being residential, is behind CG-NAT (not even a dynamic IP!), and that means renting a (much cheaper) VPS solely to expose my server to the open internet with a static IP.

  • Winget-UI specifically can run the upgrade tool automatically for you, that's what I meant for "automation". You could also add a scheduler to run Winget by itself every day if you need to.

  • You can find me on several sites I'm self-hosting: Firefish, Peertube, Matrix, Lemmy, Email... Besides of that I'm still stuck with Youtube, and to an even lesser extent with Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and Whatsapp. Never bothered to make an account on Tiktok, and as for Instagram I only have one by pivot from my FB account, I follow nobody there and only log in to view the occasional account that posts only there.
