  • If you end up owning a home (or have parents that own one and won't be able to manage in their old age), general home maintenance and repair skills can save a fuck ton of money. Things like learning how to do drywall repair or replacement, fixing pipe leaks, or framing (if you're feeling a little extra) can go a long way. I learned electrical as well, but I'm hesitant to recommend this one unless you know what you're doing (you can burn down your house, or worse, die).

    I did a bathroom remodel that would have cost a fortune to have contractors come in, as it required drywall, plumbing, and electrical. Labor costs have skyrocked in my area, it probably would've cost me over $15k if I hired out. In the end, I probably paid a few thousand dollars along with a large portion of my hairline.

  • Yeah, your last point might be an issue for this. But if you manage to find a heater that works as a simple on/off, this z-wave high power relay might suit your needs: https://www.thesmartesthouse.com/products/zooz-z-wave-long-range-high-power-relay-zen78-800lr

    I would be very careful with automating a heater in your garage, as they're obviously a fire risk, especially when unattended. I would make sure whatever automation you land on has safeties based on if you're home, if a smoke alarm goes off, or if connection to your controller is lost (this one would be more difficult to automate, but is probably doable with an esp32 or similar).

  • I always skip those episodes in Malcolm in the Middle.

  • It's the training that consumes the electricity, not the outright usage.

  • I wish I could afford to leave this fucking country.

  • Edit: yup. Time to leave this place.

    This isn't an airport, no need to announce your departure.

  • Is this similar to the built in KDE night light?

  • Did I say anything to argue otherwise? Since you brought it up, internet infrastructure grants should go to fiber PUDs and not a billionaire nazi. Then, there's no need to have satellites. He's polluting the skies for profit.

  • I still use it with plexamp which autoscrobbles to last.fm.

  • I'm sure I'm stating the obvious, but you can do both. I backup my important self-hosted data to the cloud (B2, in my case). I also have a colo that I backup to.

  • While true, they continuously replenish the ones that fall back to earth. I wouldn't be surprised if their current launch pace is higher than the amount falling out of orbit. That's not even mentioning the impact they have on ground-based astronomy.

  • I mean, on one hand you're correct, but on the other hand, look at the votes in the link. It's a bunch of accounts with similar names. It was actually brigaded.

  • Holy shit, yeah. I was wondering about the downvotes.

  • It looks like you have to grant it full access to get it to "lock" your phone. If I installed an app and it prompted me for that for no reason, I would immediately uninstall.. but I guess if you have no idea what you're doing and are able to get as far as installing a third party apk, it could get you.

    I wonder if it can be removed with adb.

  • I think they've really started to go downhill lately. Mostly clickbait and miscorrelation in their recent stuff.

  • Thanks! I'll add it to the todo list.

  • I'm a current gitea user.. should I be moving to forgejo?

  • Technically we're federated with everyone. That's actually why I joined this instance - so that I could block them instead of having the admins in control via defederation.
