I would like to bring the attention to LoRa.

Meshtastic is a good example of leveraging LoRa.

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

Have them visit this site without a VPN.

Then use a VPN and visit it again.

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

I wish AMD has better pcie pass through for the iGPU than Intel. My jellyfin is on Intel because I have hardware encoding support.

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.

Germany is not much better on the fireworks front

Just build a lower bridge first. Duh.

I’ve had mixed results with clonezilla with windows cloning, particularly with the boot breaking.

DD works quite well, but has a few limitations as well.

Thankfully I hardly clone so each is its own puzzle.

Boutique teas are really low margins so I wouldn’t expect that from normal stores.

Can’t expect many stores to stock such expensive tea without any clientele.

Oh man.

I bought some Amber Muscatel Oolong Tea from Taiwan.

It’s about $50 per 10g. Insanely expensive and I haven’t even tried it yet. I’m trying to find a specific tea I’ve wanted to get ever since I’ve last tasted it back 10 years ago. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug

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.

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.

With my wife, definitely patience. The more patience you give the more you receive (if they’re a good partner).

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

But laptop is usually one word. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it as lap top.

Can you give is a lot more info.

Such as is it a framework 13? 12? 16?

Are you located in an area that framework ships to?

What do you consider a normal sized screen?

What do you consider a laptop sized screen?

Can you try to avoid shorthand to help people understand what you’re talking about?

You can just sell it and get something you actually want. Retrofitting a gift seems more work than it’s worth.

Since OP wanted to focus their responses to defending their strange short hand acronyms over actually providing us information. I’m out. Not worth my time.

Good luck in whatever you decide.

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

Thanks. Makes a lot of sense.

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.

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.
