was expecting a picture of Blondie.

the Monroe Doctrine.

i started in january of this year because i upgraded my wife’s computer. that gave me an old computer to tinker with.

i recommend getting an old computer, installing an OS (look up thinks like truenas, proxmox, unraid… there are more and they are different; try them all out if you want to see what you like)

then go onto youtube and search for things like “<OS> beginner” and you will get a bunch of tips/tricks/tutorials/etc. for starting out with your favorite.

yes - thank you; this is extremely important when thinking of the future logistics of riding an electric vehicle.

thankfully i am in southern california so its just 75°F every day, but will be very important to consider for anyone that finds themself here later <3

you will get weirdly excited about a new vacuum you love and tell everyone about its features.

isnt my brother’s wife’s mother my mother-in-law?

i can still remember the end of february, 2021. wife and i were doing our own things; i turned to her and mentioned that i hadnt heard anything government related for about a month.

we both were pleasantly surprised about how much we missed it being super boring with no daily scandal/law being broken.

it will be nice to notice that feeling again in ~feb 2029. i am looking forward to it.

charlotte, maybe?

ooooo thank you! if my situation gets worse i’ll definitely look into foot straps.

i can currently rest my foot on the pedal and move my leg around a bit, so i am able to use pedal assist without any type of lock (i just cant push or pull on the pedal, heh. extra pressure on my foot activates a bunch of pain)

i didnt even think of scooters - thank you for the recommendation!

i have gotten so much info from this thread, thank you, and everyone else, for recommendations here; it has given me way more options and research to do.

i didnt realize sidecars had a big learning curve. as someone who has never driven a moto, this option may be a dead end for me - thank you for this info. a sidecar was my first thought (probably due to all of the ww2 documentaries i watch, lol), but probably isnt the right way to go.

i think i am all set on the e-bicycle front (~20mi total range), but will keep an e-cargobike in mind if i need more carrying capacity. this is another trike recommendation. i didnt know something like this existed before this post - i definitely have more research to do.

thank you!

“we havent tried anything and we’re all out of ideas” :p

the best kind of art is art you interact with. if this art is for the public, then allow the public to have it.

privacywalled. whats the scoop?

wow, i hadnt heard of HD livewire cycles, thank you! i dont really identify as a car/moto person; i dont really worry about branding that way, so no need to worry about becoming a harley davidson person, hehehehe.

＄10k with 86 miles of range - 86 miles is close enough for that low price (~20mi was just too little for a few things and i needed to get into a different range class)

i didnt realize side cars were a custom thing - no wonder it has been so difficult finding them. thank you for that info!

i didnt know Zero (one of the few e-moto’s i had heard about) did subscription/pay2play things; thank you for the warning <3

its all good <3

i have a chevy bolt, but cant drive it safely. i bought it in jan 2023 and my leg got busted shortly after. its almost 3 years old with ~4,000 miles on it, heh… now it just sits in my garage with a monthly payment :/

Stoat will never win unless the animal kingdom gets ranked choice voting!

(ty, cgp grey, for making the best videos on this)

i currently use immich, and it is phenomenal. immich is self-hosted, though, so you will need to host it somewhere.

i like it more than google photos because of its search features. ai/ml (local) learning of your photos so you can search for generic stuff and get pictures for it - it has been super helpful for sharing pictures with others, and i can generate single-use or limited-permission links to the photos just like a pro service. after importing a whole bunch of photos and letting the ai/ml run, make sure to name the people it pulls from your photos for easy searches for them : D

i havent had the chance to try stoat yet because most of my friends refuse to leave discord, but i heard of Stoat (used to he called Revolt, but i think there was a trademark conflict) a while back and have wanted to try it out.
