I find useful stuff at the dump and make long winded rants against consumer culture. Inspired by Pickle Rick and whatever I can scrounge.
Workflow is Linux + Lineage based on free hardware.
Quit buying shit from companies that destroy the earth in the name of making the already rich even richer.

I hear ya. Same

Hey, I’m glad you said that! You’re right, we are just arguing semantics. We both agree that this hobby/job is something important

UN is going to “manage the transition” - like it’s some fucking destiny to implement AI and destroy the earth with yet another environment catastrophe… uh…shit
something…something…guillotines…luddites…working class solidarity. The transformation will happen in the destruction of corporate AI and the systems that allow the rich to control the working class. Fuck the UN “managing” the implementation of corporate AI.

Sounds like a solid theory. Most are probably Jellyfin servers, but “I have a Jellyfin Guy” doesn’t have the same ring.

I agree, but Is it your hardware?

This idea of it not being** self** hosted because it’s on somebody else’s computer is just weird.

If OP was self-hosting they wouldn’t have had a problem with their hosting provider.

I was just looking at NVME and RAM prices. Buying those things is a nightmare. I haven’t found any larger storage NVME lately but I was given some nice 8gb hdds for media and backups. Also, haven’t found ddr5 but found some free ddr4 for some servers.

Hahaha. Yeah buddy. You sound like you are partaking in the grand old tradition of American Style Sarcasm! Fun. I enjoy the more refined Pisstake that the British so skillfully employ.

Yeah I agree. Planning what you need definitely helps. I usually make a list and discover I can either buy local, get the shit for free, or in six months I don’t really need it.
- Comment on Black Friday, more like buy stupid shit day. 2 months ago:
Yeah true. I saved a ton by not buying anything
- Comment on Black Friday, more like buy stupid shit day. 2 months ago:
Same. I just enjoy rants against the machine.

Sounds like a great day. Sorry about the cold. Unless you enjoy cough syrup. No judgement.

If you live in a government or university (or tech industry) town the tech churn happens often. I don’t always need the most modern stuff for gaming so ewaste supplies a lot of useful shit for me. Sport stuff can usually be bought from rich quitters for cheap. Same with work stuff (especially blue collar work stuff like workboots). Although, I definitely treat myself to quality sport stuff purchases from time to time.

I feel cleaner having shared the thought though! Now the day feels better somehow.
- Comment on Black Friday, more like buy stupid shit day. 2 months ago:
I was ranting more about having another day that gives corporations an excuse to promote consumption. I rarely buy things. Deals that save money on useful shit are awesome though. I won’t be critical of you saving cash.
- Comment on Black Friday, more like buy stupid shit day. 2 months ago:
It was more of a rant against Black Friday and the associated consumer culture. So, I agree with you. I don’t purchase anything.
