A google forms alternative would be convenient. You could make an easy to fill out page that inouts to a spreadsheet. Put warranty reminders in your calander for a month before it expires.

- Comment on Best file partition setup for Proxmox with separate drives for security camera recording? 6 days ago:
No, but the drives are constantly being written to, so I’d rather have two in case one fails.
- Comment on DHL to suspend global shipments of over $800 to US consumers 1 week ago:
I guess I could have said “random person” but yeah, it seems like people just like to be outraged and dogpile when they see downvotes.

Ah I see with Frigate that makes sense. I’ll just have to backup the config since I don’t want to backup TB’s of footage.

Americans will actually get their $800+ packages on time, sounds like a benefit to me.
- Comment on Who should america be more concerned about MS-13 or Russia? 1 week ago:
Glorifying gang culture was really popular in the 90’s-2000’s so I was definately slightly aware of ms-13 from someplace. Maybe law and order or some other show mentioned it. I was never really aware of DT until he ran for president.
- Comment on DHL to suspend global shipments of over $800 to US consumers 1 week ago:
DHL in the U.S. is really bad. You might as well just hand your package to a homeless person. This actually benefits Americans.
- Comment on Swiss officials not following EU use of burner phones for US travel 1 week ago:
Good way to plant false information imo. Say this is definately really your phone so that when they spy on you then you can feed them all kinds of nonsense.

- Comment on Can I sue my apartment management company? 2 weeks ago:
Look up state laws about deposit timeframes. If they don’t return the deposit, then file a small claims lawsuit. Super easy to do, usually you can do it online. If you’re moving out of the area then you’ll have a hard time doing it because you usually have to appear in person.
- Comment on The one good thing about all this 2 weeks ago:
It could help with global warming by decreasing consumption.
- Comment on From a purely political perspective, if you oppose the US tariffs as a US resident, should you buy or avoid buying products subject to tariffs? 3 weeks ago:
Full economic boycott to teach these mooks a hard lesson. Buy used, including car parts and cars. Switch to a local credit union. Pay cash whenever possible so the cc companies don’t get their cut. Buy from locally owned places, but they could be owned by one of the nutters. Sell your unwanted items or give them to worthwhile charities or directly. Go to your library and cancel streaming services.

If you’re going to retire in the next ten years you shouldn’t have ao much money in the atock market. If you’re young then this is a fire sale.
Big donors who wanted this own large private businesses and have very little market exposure.
- Comment on The best thing *you* can do for the fediverse is *just be kind* 3 weeks ago:
“Sensitive” people can be really toxic too. Some people just enjoy being outraged.

- Comment on Why dont more people live in smaller communities , appart from economic opportunity (WFH is making it possible if not prefferable too) 3 weeks ago:
McDonald’s workers don’t make $30k in a rural area either. You can get a way better job in a city. Where you gonna go in a small town?
- Comment on Why dont more people live in smaller communities , appart from economic opportunity (WFH is making it possible if not prefferable too) 3 weeks ago:
A $30k person in a town could be making $60k in a city. With two incomes, that’s an extra $30k/yr.
