  • Budweiser is currently cheaper in Germany than in the United States*

    Jump

  • Many grocery items are cheaper in Germany than in the US.

    Of course that's skewed due to the USD vs EUR cost difference.

  • How much do you pay for food each month?

    Jump

  • 185 euro a month

    Includes any form of eating out and mostly organic groceries.

  • What's up with "Plex Servers"?

    Jump

  • I'm transcoding on a HD770 without an issue on jellyfin.

  • Where is Linux not working well in your daily usage? Share your pain points as of 2026, so we can respectfully discuss

    Jump

  • I can't cross play on Ghost of Tsushima.

    I can't get my MT7927 wifi chip to work

    I still have issues with Snap... But I switched to an Arch distro to fix that problem

  • What kind of keychain do you keep your keys on?

    Jump

  • A wire with a screw. Like the aviation industry.

  • Going to a Protest? Don't Bring Your Phone Without Doing This First

    Jump

  • I would like to bring the attention to LoRa.

    Meshtastic is a good example of leveraging LoRa.

  • Can you recommend a router made in EU? Need to replace the one I currently have. Nothing fancy is required.

    Jump

  • I'm a massive mikrotik fan. All of my routers and remote routers are mikrotik.

  • Asking For A Friend: "Can't we just use VPNs to stop services from tracking us?"

    Jump

  • Have them visit this site without a VPN.

    https://amiunique.org/fingerprint

    Then use a VPN and visit it again.

    You are trackable regardless of your proxy just by your web browser metadata.

  • Ignoring the internet bill itself, how many paid online services do you have?

    Jump

  • One VPS (need to grow this one) $10/month

    2 tiny websites $2/month

    Bitwarden Family $3.33/month

    A few domains $10/month

    And M$ Family 365 because it's the easiest way for my elderly parents to backup their photos. $8.33/month

    Oh and proton VPN I think it's $5/month

    That's about it.

    $38.66 a month.

  • The Netherlands Has Banned Fireworks To Protect People, Animals, And The Environment

    Jump

  • Germany is not much better on the fireworks front

  • People crossing the Capilano Suspension Bridge, North Vancouver, Canada, ~1910s?

    Jump

  • Just build a lower bridge first. Duh.

  • If you had too, how would go about running a Instagram account?

    Jump

  • I have gotten more interaction with pixelfed than with Instagram.

    I have more followers in 1 year on pixelfed than 4 years on Instagram.

    About 60% of my followers are only fans bots and the other 30% are people I know. The last 10% are organic followers who like my photos. I don't do short form videos so I don't have any lasting engagement.

    I have advertised my pixelfed I think twice on the fediverse. But not any more than that.

    If you want to have the community, I've heard that flickr is probably the best. Many people use it and it's photography focused.

    Instagram is taken over by short form videos. If you're not doing that or making really really good photos in unique areas, then you'll max out at 2-3 hundred followers.

  • What is your "great I am an old person now" complaint?

    Jump

  • Soda and juice is too sweet for me.

    A lot of music in public spaces is too loud.

    No longer understanding slang is normal.

    There's not enough hours (days) to decompress after a work day.

  • Do you mean IRL? The only thing that IRW brings up is Islamic Relief Worldwide

  • I've had the same issue. It's a little irritating

  • Why GrapheneOS is Almost Impossible to Crack (Forensic Teams Have Tried)

    Jump

  • Thanks. Makes a lot of sense.

  • What's your uptime?

    Jump

  • I reboot quarterly for hypervisors and monthly for LAN. Anything outward facing reboots weekly.

    My layer 3 switch recently hit 400 days though. That's my highest uptime in my network.

  • Is there a real, actually working way to earn money online without having a job?

    Jump

  • The boring answer is something like a bond or CD ladder, or treasury bill focused ETF that'll give you 3% a year before taxes.

    2 million dollars can safely net you 50,000 a year without working.

    And since it's mostly federal bonds, you could be tax exempt up to a certain amount.

    Of course this is the US POV.

    And there are riskier investments that can hit 8ish% with only $600,000, but you'll be at the whim of high risk high reward.

    If you're wanting to hit the tax free limit of $15,750 a year (total income) then 3% APY is $525k.

    Or go super risky run options.
