What service do you recommend for writing formulas? I’m perfectly capable of writing my own, but I’m just so lazy now.

Thank you 🙏🏻 this is a great ELI5 for my smooth brain!

Man, this is what I fear trying to get into homelab’ing. I’m just so naive to networking I’m afraid I’ll break everything. The most I’ve ever accomplished was Plex on my PC, Plex app elsewhere and PC has to have Plex running to work. That and I built a NAS (when really I just wish it was a DAS I could tether to multiple PC’s at once), and I barely made it though tutorials to get that working.

I feel like I need to buy a textbook because I’m so clueless on the basics I can’t even get started, since almost any tutorial online assumes you know the bare bones basics. Like I literally don’t know what DHCP is, how it works, or even what it stands for.

At the very least your post has inspired me to try to start trying again. Maybe there’s a textbook I can pick up to start learning this super basic groundwork, or maybe a course online.

“listen sweetheart, we’re in AMERICA right now, yeah? Well these were sent direct from the AMERICAN PRESIDENT, and you’re telling me they’re NO GOOD?”

The Linus that was promised.

I’ve become increasingly weary about any heated foods in contact with plastic.

Near boiling hot soup from Chinese take-out poured into shitty plastic containers. Hard pass.

Also going to someone’s house and seeing they use those crock-pot plastic liner bags: 🤢

I also feel really bad about all the plastic dishes we have for our kids (we don’t microwave them). We’re actually going spend the coin on some stainless steel right now, thanks Lemmy!
