  • What was good while it lasted?

    Jump

  • I was so pissed off when that company bought stumbleupon and trashed it. I hunted and searched for an alternative and nothing was ever the same. It was a huge death blow to the internet I loved. 😭😭😭

  • How I discovered a hidden microphone on a Chinese NanoKVM

    Jump

  • I was really sketched out with my BLI-KVM. I had a server that was off, when I booted it the bios was in Chinese. Although someone did say that motherboard had a flaw that would do that, I wasn’t Sure if it was the KVM or the motherboard, but still…

  • I feel like I will want to live completely alone in the nature at a future time in my life

  • I live in the middle of nowhere where, you would be surprised how much work it is. Plus the long long trips to town for supplies.

  • 4x6 thermal label printers on linux

    Jump

  • Thank you, I added that to a list of printers to look at.

  • Yes, printers suck.

    I’m sure that would fix it, but I went with buying a rollo, hopefully that just works. Thank you for your advice!

  • I was sure the zebra used its own proprietary stuff, that’s why I got 2 more modern no name printers hoping they would work. I was so fed up with the zebra not working after trying everything I found online.

    I ended up buying a rollo printer. Thank you for your advice!

  • Most of The labels I print come directly from eBay. Sometimes I will have a PDF or JPG of a label to print. Those I click CTL-P and select the printer.

    I did play with CUPS a ton, adding custom files, all that. Nothing worked. That’s why I bought 2 other no name label printers to see if those would work. But same issue.

    Thank you for your advice.

  • What little things do you do each day that are your small ways of sticking it to the man?

    Jump

  • I do half of these and my neighbors do several of these too. What do you want? Want me to explain every dollar I make? Thats too personal.

  • There’s many ways, I have multiple income streams from several places.

    Here are a few examples of income ideas:

    Sell online

    YouTube or twitch, only fans?

    Do odd jobs for neighbors and the community

    Sell at local swap meets, fairs, art shows

    Air BNB

    Sell eggs, meat, animals

    Sell homestead tutorials, courses, online or in person

    Remote teaching

    Remote work, telemarketing

    There’s tons of ways to make money from a homestead in the middle of nowhere.

  • It truly is a ton of work every day.

  • I hate how inescapable politics are on Lemmy, but at least nobody's constantly asking how blind people wipe their butt or pick up their dog's poop then completely ignoring me when I try to answer.

  • I’m sorry to hear that. I had a friend in college born without eyes. I talked a lot with him about concepts like shapes and colors. He was able to tell how much battery the electric carts on campus had by the sound of the motor, it’s quite interesting. I guess you might have an easier time than someone that lost their vision. I now have a friend that went blind after a car accident, he gets a lot of help from neighbors. He try’s very hard to do things himself, but often needs help. I hope you have a good support network for the things you need in life.

  • Were you born sighted? Or did you go blind over time?

  • There are a few counties around the US that have zoning laws that let you live in an RV or build alternative houses such as adobe, earth bags, shipping container homes, earth ships, or even shed to homes.

    I did tons of research and picked a county. Then I drove around and talked with realtors until I found the right one that understood what I plan To do. this guy was awesome and directly took my to my dream land. It was 6 times more land than I expected to buy, and the price was amazing. We bought it immediately.

    After buying the land, I bought a $3,000 RV (needed a ton of work) but it’s home until I build my adobe home. Spent the last year collecting supplies for the house, even found 5 new windows for just over $100. Always looking for deals. Also found solar panels super cheap $45 each for 250W panels. Bought a ton of those for the house later.

    It takes a lot of determination to push yourself to go outside and work for yourself, but also a way to have an income in the middle of nowhere. We do ok. But I know things will only get better as we settle more here.

  • Yes there is a land tax, but it’s quite low.

  • I have never paid rent or utilities or electricity.

    Currently live off grid on land I own using solar power. We have all electric appliances. Generator uses propane but only use it 1-2 times a year so it’s rare to refill the tank.

    The dump is only a few dollar when we take our trash (under $10) every few months.

    Self host on a NAS, have home assistant that helps a ton with power monitoring and control.

    My goal in a few years is to provide almost all my needs from my own land. Food, water, shelter, power, etc.

  • Why do people hate on cosmetic surgeries so much?

    Jump

  • Because to me I see it as wearing a mask and faking who you are.

    I also feel the same with makeup but worse (chemicals that destroy your skin).

  • So it’s ok for the high CO2 levels to poison us, as long as we have shade? Thanks mega companies

  • Does anyone else miss traditional forums?

  • That might be the same app I used, but I think it was a different name back then. Maybe that’s why I couldn’t find it.
