I have a love hate relationship with this man. He has spearheaded some of my favorite games even if they came nowhere close to what was promised. It's so weird to come back to Fable and enjoy it more than I did when it came out.

Just the type of mod I want!

Everyone should try disabling ALL notifications and then working their way up to understand which alerts are worth getting interrupted for. Everything you do on your phone ends up becoming more intentional and your battery life goes up too because your screen isn't constantly getting turned on from the barrage of notifications. To date, I only have 1 notification turned on and it's when my significant other messages me.

Akira x Barbie, very cool.

Yeah but can it host PiHole?

We have so much computing power at home and the chances you have good reliable Internet at home are better than before. I revived 5 year old PCs and it's way too much computing power for my self host needs. I'd have to pay $200+ a month for the same compute power in the cloud. Even a Raspberry Pi with 8GB is capable of running quite a bit for fractions of a penny in electricity.

Sync is $20 to remove ads no? Where is it $100?

Update: nevermind I see it here for sync ultra

This one triggers the entire spectrum of human emotion.

That's for idiots who don't look at the amount of interest they are paying... but sure, the monthly is lower.

I went the unmedicated route. I read a book that changed everything for me and taught me to think differently about my anxiety. It basically destigmatizes the idea that anxiety is a bad thing which actually made my anxiety return to manageable levels. Eventually I stopped worrying about my anxiety and things just kept getting better and better. Every now and then I'll have a bout where I'm more anxious but I'll just remember that it's normal and it never escalates beyond that. I feel like I have a healthy perspective about anxiety now.

Check out the book Dare and see if it clicks with you.

The default settings of librewolf would drive the average user crazy. I'm not a fan of Firefox and use Librewolf myself but Firefox has sensible defaults for an average user that would be a net positive coming from Chrome. Just an FYI thinking of making the switch.

For additional context of those curious, Librewolf is very hardened by default. When you close your browser all site data is wiped (this can be turned off). Most people don't mess with their browser settings though... there's also a lot of little things that are disabled by default that will make people think the browser is broken e.g. canvas requests are silently denied by default, it's just not realistic for most people to use librewolf.

I've never had so much fun self-hosting. A decade or so ago I was hosting things on Linode and running all kinds of servers for myself but with the rise of cloud services, I favored just giving everything to Google. I noticed how popular this community was on Reddit/Lemmy and now it's my new addiction.

I'm a software engineer and have plenty of experience deploying to AWS/GCP so my head has been buried in the sand with these cloud providers. Now that I'm looking around there are things like NextCloud, Pihole, and Portainer all set up with Cloudflare Zero Trust... I feel like I'm living the dream of having the convenience to deploy my own services with proper authentication and it's so much fun.

Reviving old hardware to act as local infra is so badass it feels great turning on old machines that were collecting dust. I'm now trying to convince my brother to participate in doing hard-drive swaps on a monthly basis so I have some backup redundancy off-site without needing to back up to the cloud.

Sorry if this feels ranty but I just can't get over how awesome this is and I feel like a kid again. Cheers to this awesome community!

EDIT: Just also found Fission and OpenFaaS, selfhosted serverless functions, I'm jumping with joy right now!

I dusted off my RPI4 and started tinkering with self-hosting things and it's sparked a fire. Suddenly I have 7 docker containers running and I need more RAM, more space and I want something reliable with room to grow. I like small form factors but it doesn't need to be RPI small. Any recs for your favorite hardware under $500?
