It’s worked out well for me! I redid the lighting in my living room over the weekend, including hardwiring it into the mains. Plus I spent the summer rebuilding an antique motorcycle!

My server runs Proxmox and I usually just run things as a systemd service each in its own virtual container

I have an old set of joke boxes I bought from The Onion ages ago that are really fun to put an actual present in and give to someone. For example, the Visorganizer: a small organizer pouch that clips onto the visor of your hat!

Another year the only thing my wife wanted was a new set of Airpods Pro. Now, for me, a very important part of a present is the surprise, so when she found a fairly large box under the tree, she figured she had gotten something else. Until she opened the box and found another wrapped gift inside. And another inside that, and another, and another… And finally at the end a small gift bag with the Airpods in 😁

This is the way. Personally, though, I keep Probitas around for it. I did really like Plantation 3 Star too, but the Probitas fits in my bar box 😁

The problem is this leopard is going to eat all of our faces…

Check out the Nitecore T4K. Not an 18650, but usb-c rechargeable, 4 brightness levels (1, 15, 65, and 200 lumens), plus a 4000 lumen turbo mode that it can maintain for about ten seconds before it has to drop back to 200 to cool down. Separate power and mode buttons, and it remembers what mode it was in when you turned it off. Great battery life, and small enough to fit in your pocket. The only downside is the price ($90), but.it’s worth every penny.

Yesss. I love this word and use it whenever I can

I use Seagate Ironwolf 4TB drives in mine. Bought them all used, $50-60 each. Check on eBay and Facebook marketplace

Wait, what happened to Audacity?
