There are far too many loopholes for me not to hate companies be they small or large.
In Australia, “family trusts” are a sure way to write off a good chunk of your expenses (groceries, fuel and so on) while paying yourself a wage. If you really want you can cook the books taking cash sales for yourself too.
Don’t forget about “taking” whatever you want from the company, and writing that off as a loss.
Maybe I should hate people, but in a vacuum people are reasonable, logical and honorable. But once we introduce a “well maybe” or an “but what if I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking?” my view of people becomes skewed.
I guess, I wanted to vent about how fucked everything seems to be and that I feel powerless to do anything about it. GameStop as a company probably deserve the rocks in boxes, Amazon deserve them too, all because people are running those companies.
I’m not above greed, but I’d like to think / feel that I put out more than I take and it seems quite uncommon in our modern society.
- Comment on Freetube is the best way to watch YouTube 2 months ago:
There is an android version: apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/…/io.freetubeapp.freetube
However I prefer Grayjay: grayjay.app
- Comment on Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens 2 months ago:
Gives me Sonos vibes.
I won a Sonos speaker years ago, thing needed (from memory) an app to switch to AUX mode. The speaker sounded great but I didn’t want to install an app just to use the thing.
In a grand spectacle my ex’s cat kicked a potplant off a windowsill into our fish tank. That shorted a power board, we didn’t have breakers (ceramic / wire fuses) which ended up killing the speaker.
Honestly as nice of a speaker it was, good riddance.

Ratbagd / Piper doesn’t work for your mouse?

Pornhub, or touching grass. Either order really.
I’d been paying for premium YouTube for a few years, the family plan had a massive spike in price and I’d had enough from there. Been using Grayjay for the past few months only watching a couple of channels, but if this goes live it will kill the platform for me.
The bundled YouTube music sub really doesn’t sell it for me either, sure it’s got some more niche music compared to other platforms but it’s not a drop-in replacement (especially for the better half).
All and all I’m probably one of the few that will tap out of the platform, will be interesting to see the fallout.

I think I’d be more concerned if my hands were that small

I found YTM to have more niche music selections vs Spotify.
You could always try plexamp if you want to self-host.

I use NixOS for all my systems now, single config covers two servers, laptop, notebook and desktop.
Containers aren’t something to be afraid of, I’ve found nix + podman to be super easy to use / configure, so much it’s a copy / paste a config from another container with some small directory changes.
If you are not someone who likes using a terminal perhaps nix isn’t for you. I’ve found forcing the terminal & configuring via nix has given me much more insight into my machines / os than ever before. If you’ve got the time to mess with Nix I’d recommend it.
If that sounds like a bunch of effort and time to get something that may be easier via another method, I’d say Proxmox is the way to go.
Running through my config I’ve just noticed that I’ve got an IP conflict that I wasn’t aware of, but makes total sense right now 😅

- Comment on Best practice for mounting usb storage in Proxmox 6 months ago:
If you’ve got a m.2 slot in the mini PC you could add a cheap 5 sata port m.2 and connect them that way. If you don’t want to solder power you could really make it a butcher job and hack up the power from the sata to usb connectors.
Sucks to hear about your loss, I’ve recently lost my proxmox setup and migrated everything to Nixos. My install threw a wobbly, terminal was cooked, could only ssh into some containers so I wiped the install and migrated.
In my proxmox setup I found it easier to mount the drives as lvm to the host proxmox machine and pass them through to lxc via bind-mounts rather than adding another layer of shares / overheads.
