Proxmox on a Lenovo micro form factor is probably a good cost effective option. Get a business class ThinkCentre, like an M720 or something similar that’s 3-5 years old that a corpo has just upgraded away from, i5 or Ryzen 5 with however much storage and RAM you want. Spin up a container specifically and only for PiHole+Unbound (and consider adding a pi or some other dedicated hardware for DNS later on for redundancy in case your main goes down), and then the rest is however you want to build your environment.

For me, I’ve got a Pi dedicated to 3 key tasks: PiHole, Unbound, and PiVPN (edit: and Nginx Proxy Manager. It’s dedicated to 4 key tasks…). It’s basically my filtering interface between the home network the rest of the internet immediately after my router handles the frontline defenses, and then I’ve got a Proxmox cluster to run most of the rest of my internal services.

Oh dang, I must have missed it. Is there a reader’s digest version I can check out regarding the drama?

Edit: I think I found it - https://news.itsfoss.com/organic-maps-fork-comaps/

Is there a compelling reason one might consider switching away from Organic Maps and move to CoMaps?

There’s a near-endless supply of great mythology and legend to read and explore from all sorts of cultures dating back as far as the dawn of writing. I’ve had a lot of fun reading and comparing tales from various times and places, taking time to also note where in history the stories were being written down and what else was happening. Strong recommendation for anyone wanting a unique view on the history of societies and the stories they held (or still hold) dear.

I don’t have an answer for you, but a dev for that DigitalDiary app posted earlier today looking for feature input and saying they are going to open source it in the next 2 months or something like that. I don’t have a link to the post, sorry, but I just thought it might be helpful to know about

You’re doing great already, and your desire to do well by your child means you’ll continue doing great.

Talk, sing, show your kid by example what being a person looks like. Read to them every day, and keep it up until they pick up the mantle and start reading on their own. Introduce them to new toys, sounds, foods, and experiences as they develop. But right now, literally everything is still brand new to this person and the best thing you can do is provide Level 1 “How to human” lessons. Your voice, touch, and demonstrated behaviors are your best tools right now.

Facebook, for all that they were and all that they have become. I don’t use it, won’t use it, but I can’t change others’ behavior, and so its very existence continues to reduce my quality of life. Facebook gave us Facebook, Zuck, and eventually Meta. I do not like them, Sam I Am.

Don’t you do this to me, lemmy689. Don’t you hurt me with your heartfelt soliloquys and your lustful eyes

My crazy mom says she’s looking to move to Uruguay because when the nukes start falling they will most likely not have a ton of fallout to deal with.

I’m gonna run toward the light in that kind of scenario, personally. Nature will rebuild. In a WWIII scenario, the winner is evolution. Life will, uh, find its way.

ABBAABBA. Skip level code for Aladdin on the Sega Genesis.

This is literally the most research I’ve ever done on this dryer. It is a GE GTD33EASK0WW

I took the buzzer off my dryer immediately once I heard it the first time. I don’t need that in my life. 10/10 would recommend to anyone that is even slightly annoyed with a laundry buzzer.

Oh sure, we pay a LOT compared to other places, but at least our telecom security is top notch… (Big ole /s, in case someone may not have heard about the SALT Typhoon stuff yet)

And unbeknownst to me until I went to check to see if I was right about the origination (I wasn’t), “Life is what happens to us while we are making other plans”

There are dozens of us!

Geriatric millennial checking in from 1983.

I like the “Oregon Trail generation” name someone mentioned earlier too, I might lean into that one more in the future. Remember playing Math Blaster on an Apple Mac Classic in elementary school computer lab? Then you were there too!

The answer is easy, but to get to it, a little bit of a thought experiment is probably helpful. I say, look to how we define our own left and right sides for guidance. When facing forward, our left hand is on the left side of our body, and the right hand is on the right side of the body. Perspective doesn’t matter, and there is no ambiguity.

Now we need to extend this to the bed. A bed has a head, just like a person does. So where would its face be? It seems clear to me, unless you are sleeping on a dead mattress, that the face is clearly going to be looking upwards at the ceiling at the head of the bed. So the left side of the bed, if you are standing at the foot of the bed looking at it, would be on your right. Just like the left side of your friend, when you are standing in front of them and looking at them, is on your right.

Now if you just imagine the mattress to be perfectly spherical and in a frictionless environment…

(Obviously just having fun with this answer, but it’s also the right answer)
