  • Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy

    Jump

  • I bought a two bay Synology for $270, and a 20TB hdd for $260. I did this for multiple reasons. The HDD was on sale so I bought it and kept buying things. Also I couldn't be buggered to learn everything necessary to set up a homemade NAS. Also also i didn't have an old PC. My current PC is a Ship of Theseus that I originally bought in 2006.

    You're not wrong about an equivalent NAS to my current pc specs/capacity being more expensive. And yes i did spend $500+ on my NAS And yet I also saved several days worth of study, research, and trial and error by not building my own.

    That being said, reducing e-waste by converting old PCs into Jellyfin/Plex streaming machines, NAS devices, or personal servers is a really good idea

  • How do I deal with someone who's been shitting in front of my house?

    Jump

  • Oh my fault it sounded like you were only there for a few more days based on other comments you made, sorry I misunderstood.

    Would your neighbor be willing to set up the trail cam when it comes? Otherwise this seems like something that'll have to wait till you're back home. As others suggested, waiting in the bushes is a recipe for misery.

    If you're dead set on catching the person, start logging (ha ha! log) the days it happens. Once you narrow down the pattern try waking up every couple hours to see if they left a fresh one, then you have a future stakeout time. Once you have the pattern and time window, grab a friend, a couple clubs, and when you catch them, persuade them with reason, logic, and threats of violence

  • You're in a developing country (I'm a pedant and third world means not allied with the US or the USSR, which doesn't exist anymore). You're on vacation. You won't be there much longer. Leave an envelope with $20 in it and a note that says "Stop shitting here and have this with our blessing. Shit here again and we will follow you, take the money, and beat you. We are watching"

    Or don't. Whatever. You're not there long enough to receive a package from Amazon, so why stress about it? A street sitter has a lot more problems in life than someone who can go on vacation. Their continued existence is probably it's own punishment

    Oh here's an idea.

    1. Cover the pile with sand/Kitty litter.
    2. Get a little flag of the local football team, or whatever the local favorite is, and plant it in the sandy shit pile.
    3. ???????
    4. Profit.

  • DR Congo, Rwanda leaders to sign peace deal in US

  • Potentially life-changing if you're eligible

    Jump

  • No, not autoimmune. It's basically kidney stones in your joints. It is caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood (hyperuricemia). The uric acid forms crystals in the joints, shredding tissue and cartilage, causing pain and inflammation.

    It's generally agreed that while diet has an influence, it's not the only factor. Some are predisposed to developing gout while others with the same diet never do. Reduced kidney function, excess alcohol consumption, obesity, medications, and a bunch of other stuff can all contribute.

    For severe acute flare-ups Prednisone is very effective at reducing inflammation and pain. If the gout persists, there are medicines that can decrease uric acid concentration in the blood.

    Jump

  • Gout is no laughing matter. It's very painful

    Unless you have Prednisone, then it's a joke

    If you'll excuse me, I have clouds to yell at

  • (Sorry I know I've told my story like 5 times on Lemmy already, but I just can't stop thinking about it, about what could've happened.)

    Well it's my first time hearing it. Thanks friend

  • You conveniently left out this bit

    but those that move there, or are "settlers", or endorse and support the "settler" policies [italics for emphasis] are certainly land thieves.

    So… yes?

    Also conscientious objectors exist. Like, I get where you're coming from, but you have to admit your absolutism isn't completely factual

  • There's no such thing as second generation land thieves. A person is either a land thief, or the descendant of land thieves. I can go back at least five generations in my family and no land thieves, but I'm still a descendant of land thieves. I'm white and live in the US, so it's a forgone conclusion. I'm also a descendant of a rapist somewhere in my lineage, and a victim of rape as well.

    People born in Israel and just existing there aren't land thieves, but those that move there, or are "settlers", or endorse and support the "settler" policies are certainly land thieves.

    To be clear, Benjamin Netanyahu is a cunt, for sure, and a land thief.

  • Hey I don't believe you about jolabokhlaup (Jólabókaflóð?), there's not nearly enough syllables for an Icelandic word 😂 it's only, like, five syllables for crying out loud

  • Are you familiar with that thing where you eat popcorn and you get a tough little piece lodged way back in the depths of your mouth right by the base of your tongue?

    Jump

  • Like, in the lower molar, where it meets the gums? Or suctioned to the base of your tongue? Cause one of those is common, and it ain't the suction one
