For me it’s an investment in freezing my housing costs. I bought 8 years ago and since then the increases in my housing costs have been around 5% as taxes go up. In the same time period, rent for the apartment I was in previously has gone up 65% and is higher than my mortgage payment. Had I not purchased a house there’s a good chance I would have had to either move in with family or move to a much cheaper area.

Tell that to my mortgage.

For the record I own exactly one house, it’s in terrible condition and I don’t have the funds to renovate. Because of the mortgage.

People don’t clean their phones? I clean mine every time I clean my glasses. If the glasses are dirty, it’s a safe bet the phone could use a rub down with some isopropyl on a Kimwipe.

Unrelated, if you wear glasses and haven’t used Kimwipes to clean them you are missing out. Soap and water, isopropyl on Kimwipe, dry Kimwipe.

Fantastic choices. Outer Wilds for me.

Note to anyone heeding this advice: it has to be a metal water pipe, no plastic.

If it’s big and metal there’s a scrapyard that will, at the very least, take it off your hands for free. Free metal is free metal. Getting the big metal thing to the scrapyard is another story.

Drives do this on their own.

Ah, the Harrison Bergeron school of parenting.

Bruh ask Google the question instead of making a stranger figure it out for you. If you want an answer typed up for you go ask a LLM.

Because Arch was one of the distros that distributed the backdoored xz package, though they claim no vulnerability to due to their implementation.

I’ve got a BeeLink N100 system that’s just a bit bigger than a NUC, has two 2.5Gb LAN ports and came with a 512gb nvme drive. Works a treat as a Jellyfin server with TONS of processor and ram headroom. N100 is a great little chip, so long as you’re not expecting i5+ power.

Yeah, we call it sapphire.

You can use it as a firewall/router or a VPN gateway and even slap a wireless NIC or two on there and make it a combo router/AP, which can simultaneously play and transcode video as a Plex/Jellyfin server with zero hit to networking performance.

Wait you guys don’t shave your balls to keep them smooth as eggs at all times?

Also, heating elements. Which I guess are just durable incandescent lightbulbs.

Be the change you want to see. I switched things up and took a job where I work to feed hungry people. It’s pretty great and I feel good about myself and what I do. I’m not gonna fix the whole world, but I am making a difference for those who I reach.
