I moved over to TabloTV about 8 or 9 years ago. I got tied of fixing stuff when I would update something and Tablo just worked on the Roku without much fuss.
I’m still happy with and love the Tablo, but it’s no better than MythTV was, just easier to maintain.
This is what I’ve done on my last 2 cars. First was a Leaf that I leased dirt cheap. The second was a used Tesla at more than 1/2 off. I’m looking at a truck now and finding amazing deals on the '23 F150 lightnings. I’d prefer a Rivian and I’m not quite ready to let my Tesla go, but soooooon.
Someday, the deals will be harder to find, but for now take advantage!
Sure, I’ll just travel to places to verify the source every time when I consume news. That’s reasonable!
I used it before and still use it. No issues with my $5 live linode.
I wanted to downvote, but then I read it. While I don’t accept the premise entirely, I think the points are very well made and thought out well (even if taken to the extreme).
I couldn’t get it set up to allow each of my family members to have their own email address on the domain. It was basically the opposite of the “no catch all” feature other hosts seem to have - Outlook custom domain was 100% catch all to 1 account. I very quickly undid my partial setup and am back in Google for now.
Wow, I actually need an AS400 for testing something - this is great.
I’m over on programming.dev (https://programming.dev/communities) – I really like the idea of servers and thus the sub /c’s being centered around topics of interest. I think there’s going to be a lot of “generic” lemmy servers still, but I sort of liked how “places” sort of picked lemmy.world, for example (though that’s starting to fade with lemmy.world becoming more popular).
If you’re thinking of something like $1-2/month, also consider doing a 30 dollar 1 time thing (it saves on transaction fees) and you basically just paid for 2-3 years of donations.
