3.5€ for a brand new cast iron wok. Instabuy.

Andy Cooks - amazing chef, easy to follow recipes (he uses metric first), but also a nice, down to earth, no-nonsense guy.

Are the Republicans the good ones? I dunno this stuff, am iuropean…

I have been using an Android XiaomiTV, with SmartTube and Jellyfin, Netflix and Prime. I do have a pihole, though.

I really like Black Mirror. I watched a bunch of TV shows, started and left midway through others, but I always go back to Black Mirror. Like the creator said, it’s sci-fi techno dystopia. And he is working on the 7th season. One of the episodes will be a follow up to USS Callister. Awesome!

Pulp Fiction. Also, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. And Snatch. Also… aw man, there’s so many…

I track my movie and TV show watchlists with trakt.tv. it’s connected to my jellyfin and *arr stack.

I don’t game so that’s of no interest to me. I use Kavita/mylar3 for comic books, audiobookshelf/readarr and storygraph for audiobooks. for music I use last.fm, again connected to my jellyfin server (with symfonium as a client).

Check your pms.

That guide is great. Also, you can easily find some extra ram on eBay or Kleinanzeigen. I strongly recommend adding at least 4gb. Switching from a 1tb HDD to a 128-256gb SSD should also be pretty affordable and it will do wonders speed wise.

I have a 15yo kid with ASD. While she is highly functional, goes to a good public school, she can’t decide which trash bin to use and will just freeze for a while, overthinking it… She can talk for hours about the anatomy of a cat, but knows nothing about politics, or how the world functions… I think 16 is too young to vote, but my perspective is warped.

Front right - small wallet, minimal key set. Front left - phone.

My wallet only holds 4 cards (id, driver’s licence, health insurance, debit card), sometimes cash (notes, no coins). I just take a couple of keys, for home and office, plus a Darth Vader Lego keychain.

I vape, and I usually just hold that…

If it’s jacket (or hoodie) weather, I keep my vape and keys in a jacket pocket.

When I go to the office, I have my backpack, and I transfer everything in there, except the wallet and phone.

I use webcord and ferdium. But I also tried the official apps and even the web apps with Firefox, chromium or zen. Nope.

I never actually measured it, but I switched to fuzzel from wofi, and I can’t tell the difference in reaction time. To me it feels instant.

i use a minimal arch with the zen kernel and hyprland for home, work and play. no kde/gnome. for me it’s just right. except screen sharing in teams or discord, which haunts me… now it works, now it doesn’t.

I don’t think it works with Apple, but I really like Streamrip. It works with Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer and SoundCloud. Just adding it to the list of recommendations.

Pizza.

Tinker, play, break, fix. Start with docker, a couple virtual machines, use the terminal, even switch to linux. Start automating/scripting mundane or repetitive tasks. For me, this is fun, I actually enjoy the work I do. I have a homelab, a few mini-pcs that I play with, and that I’m not afraid to break. I use ansible and terraform to manage them. Completely overkill for just a few apps and services I run for me and my family, but that’s how I learned a bunch of things.

Getting a job in devops might need a few years of experience as either a sysadmin or a developer, but it’s in high demand.

Started as a tech at a computer shop back in uni, doing diagnostics and assembly for custom PC builds. After I got my bachelor, I started as an IT guy in a factory, and for the next ~20 years worked as a sys admin at a bunch of different companies. Over the last 5 years or so I moved more and more towards Linux, automation, IaC, ansible, docker, k8s, terraform… and now I work as a devops engineer. I work for a small company, so I double as a backup sysadmin/user support guy, because I’m the one that “knows what active directory even is”. 🤷

They can be quite… creative :) Here’s a nice overview: https://utopiabalcanica.net/2019/12/05/20-ingenious-ways-to-use-pla-in-the-romanian-language/
