I paid for a year of an incogni family plan and wiped my whole household off the internet. Within a month google searching largely stopped coming up with hits other than accounts I personally created. I’ve been quite happy with the service, It took no effort just $100.

Plus $1000 a year electric bill

I went a little crazy and setup my own wireguard VPN network, all the remote hosts connect to the VPN and the primary server connects to each of them and pushes backups. Because I use btrfs and lots of snapshots I use btrbk, annoying to setup but now my hourly snapshots get pushed everywhere, minimal bandwidth and it flawlessly has worked for years.

My father wants to sell his deep sea fishing boat, no more fish to catch. He is so heavily restricted on what he can catch there is no point going out anymore. Meanwhile when he goes out into international waters and fishes based on these rules he has to dodge all the international fishing trawlers that scrap the ocean clean. Very frustrating.

For what it’s worth I hope he sells his boat. It’s stupid and wasteful to burn 200 gallons of gas to perhaps catch one shark. It’s painfully wasteful.

I do this except the offline copies are raspberry pis, they grab an update then turn their network card off and go black for about a month. Randomly they turn on the network card, pull a fresh copy and go black again. Safe from randomware and automatic.

I have a trailer (workshop) with solar power, batteries, a raspberry pi controlling everything and a cellular hot spot. It pumps all the solar, battery information and light controls over MQTT and home assistant over cellular. So yes its possible, what do you want to do?

I’m not a doctor and a dude, just speaking from personal experiences and shared stories, but are you on birth control? Birth control pills made my wife emotionally unstable when she was PMSing and finally she had enough and stopped taking them. It was a night and day difference and she hasn’t taken them since. Just food for thought.

I’m so sorry, I am officially ‘that guy’, taking a simple analogy and making it annoying…

I’m laughing to keep from crying.

My 16 year old Samsung TV would like to argue otherwise! It’s a beast and 1080p is plenty good for me! But my Samsung kitchen? Holy crap it’s all so terrible…

This comment hits hard. There are a lot of ignorant people in my life that spout idiotic stuff and I brush it off, I disengage. I could take the time to listen, converse and correct but I don’t. I disengage, I brush it off as just “Oh boy, there goes crazy Joe rambling again! But generally he’s a good guy so I’ll tolerate it”. I need to start taking the time to push back and correct people I care about so they understand people are judging them when stupid things are said. Thank you!

I rent two apartments in a state where all of that is not possible. Evictions take months and if repairs are not made quickly the tenant is legally entitled to withhold rent. But while on the topic I am most certainly on the hook for inflationary swings in:

• any and all repairs
• gas and electric
• insurance
• property taxes
• landscaping and snow removal

There is no free lunch, no one side is correct. Stop pretending this topic is black and white. There are some good landlords, many bad. Same goes for tenants.

Shit I thought I was so damn novel. Blast you.

Don’t try to talk sense into the senseless.

I’ve owned and deployed a lot of pi, every model, and in my experience when I have similar instability as you described its related to the sdcard. Either the sdcard itself or the tray soldered to the pi. I had one pi that would corrupt the sdcard without fail after 2 months and I played with bending the sdcard metal tray inward a little to help press the card better into the contacts and the problem went away. Try fiddling with the sdcard holder or different sdcards.

You won’t miss him. You’ll miss the idea of who he was

This hits hard with some personal relationships I lost during COVID because they were anti vaccination. Couldn’t be bothered to care how their decisions affect others, that was ‘their problem’.

Most compostable food plates and containers are made water resistant using PFAS chemicals which can leech into the food. I steer away from them as much as practical.
