I just want people to be able to compete if they use cannabis. But you’re right that it would likely devolve lol
I like to play devil’s advocate and am interested in sharing knowledge about my hobbies! I like gaming and VR, AI, herbal vaporizers, media analysis and philosophy!

Should discussion posts be labeled other?
Very cute. I like the SD card adapter as the lid, lol.
I personally couldn’t use this for my use case, but it’s sooooo cute!
I did attempt it a bit but I was having issues. Definitely the way I’m trying to go though!
I’m wondering how it goes with online game for instance (wouldn’t it be a no-go for many casual users?
I’ve wondered the same honestly. I’m able to connect to servers, never been an issue, but if I want to host my own game server it’s only available locally and no ports are ever exposed (understandably, since they don’t exist lol). Been a real hassle that’s for sure!
I’d be interested in a networking section. My biggest hurdle in self-hosting is that my ISP uses CG/NAT, so no port forwarding. This has made even simple applications difficult to set up. It seems the easiest workaround is to set them up through a domain, which I’ve tried and had no luck with. A mix of not my forte and there being few straightforward guides.
It was honestly hilarious how bad it was and how much it could slow the system down in some situations. I’d be curious to see just how much of it was a byproduct of HDD’s - that is to say, just how slow is it even in solid state drives!
But after the 2.5 years it takes to build the Windows index wouldn’t it be the same - just searching through a built index?
Somewhat surprisingly the fediverse has been much kinder for Linux learners than my experience everywhere else online the last decade :)
Previously by color/occupation.
Red Desktop, Music Workstation.
Been thinking themes more recently though. WolvesDen for my server, thinking of expanding on that some.
I don’t think angles are very good for hard drives unfortunately. Make the PC parallel with the table leg?
Seems like the only option for something that can be on a multipurpose PC.
Set up your folders, get your devices synced, and it pretty much sorts itself from there.
I’ve had minor temporary issues with Syncthing, nothing that hasn’t been fixed quickly (and have yet to had them happen again).
Great for music and photos between PC and phone and for transfers between music production PC and gaming PC. Better than Dropbox and GDrive for most purposes (lacking support for online link sharing, which isn’t very important)
Man made precipitation machines? Manually create the process of forming hydrogen and oxygen bonds? I have no idea. All I know is that the numbers of humans throughout history into our present day are very difficult to grasp exactly just how exponentially we’ve grown, which is mostly what I was referring to in regards to the sheer amount of resource draw it takes.
For water specifically - sustainable methods is our only real option. Removing the power that Nestle holds as a corporation over a human necessity would be another. That alone would give a plethora of small communities their natural springs and reservoirs back in addition to being one less thing fraking our water.
I also think smarter use of water. Plumbing shouldn’t really be using clean or grey water. I don’t know exactly what, but I know that pissing and shitting into a ever filtering water supply isn’t what it should be. Literally the entire system is fine except for the choice of fluid. Similarly, grey water should be much more widely used. Similar to these, these need to be implemented globally and used in tandem with existing methods. Bonus: theoretically it could have other resource gains and taking water from the ocean solves another issue with water levels rising.
If some of these sound insane or absurd, it’s because that’s just how fucked we are in terms of actual solutions. Right now we need to be thinking practically because that’s the only plausible, or rather feasible way of it being effective. The fact that our main solutions right now are reliant on hypothetical and prototyped technology doesn’t exactly bode well for our future. But hey, maybe the new land previously permafrosted in the arctic will reveal some new elements, fossils, and lost civilizations technologies! (/s)
That said, if mechanisms do get figured out and if they are effective, a combination of cleaned ocean water, man-made water, and reorienting current systems to be more sustainable we may actually have a chance at replenishing clean water supplies with surplus. However, I think the chances of the United States transitioning from clean water plumbing to some hypothetical non-existed replacement is more likely than Nestle ever losing an ounce of power. And honestly, that’s the most damning problem of all. Our solutions will not matter if corporations stay on course.
It’s difficult to quantify exactly how much human population has really grown. It’s estimated that the Black Plague took 20 to 25 million lives which was thought to be anywhere from 30% to 50% of global human population at the time, which was between 1348 to 1350. The estimated population in the 1600’s is roughly 500,000,000 (five hundred million humans). Roughly half of the population just 200 years later by the 1800’s, where we reached 1 billion people on the planet.
So in just over 200 years we have expanded 7 fold. Even adding up the entirety of the human population from 5,000 bce to 1100 A.D. is barely reaching the total amount of humans we have today.
For context, we’re at/near 8 billion now. A century ago, 1923, we had roughly 2 billion people.
The sheer amount of expansion we’ve had far outweighs total lives in human history. Multiple, multiple centuries of humans never even came close to amounting the resource draw which we have today - in part due to technology, in part because we’ve paved a way for more efficient destruction, and in part because we have multiplied our numbers.
Power, Domain Name (if using a standard paid one instead of the cheaper route), VPN are the 3 that I pay for that I feel are the bare minimum.
I pay for a domain that’s $12, but you could easily get the $1 ones for the same purposes. I pay for a static and service VPN with Windscribe, which comes out to be like $35+$89 respectively. So that’s already $136 a year excluding the cost of power. I could cut that cost easily, but I use them for more than just my selfhosting so I feel like it’s a fair price for what I get out of it.
