This. This. A thousand times a thousand times, yes. Nobody should be blindly trusting their safety to Amazon, one of the worst abusers of trust and privacy.
(Plus they’re the most common hardware… Guess what’s getting targeted for mass exploits?)
Almost anything is better than giving Amazon access to your home.
As a KDE person who’s got an 'ol reliable Mint machine, I’m really glad Cinnamon has fans. I do wish certain customization was a little easier maybe? But it really does “just work” while looking pretty enough and not being overly obtuse.
I love my KDE and it kicks butt right now, but I don’t want to see everything converge on a single DE. I want them all to improve for the people who love them for their own reasons.
Cinny rocks.
(The machine with the only Steam account active in North Korea would like to already knows your location)
Welcome to the team, Dan! Can’t wait to see where you take things. :)
The result of Curious George after his “Let’s compile a Kernel!” hijinks!
OpenMediaVault is pretty rad. I run it in a VM on a ProxMox machine and it ended up doing all the Docker lifting because the GUI management is just so nice.
I do need to get more CLI-ninja with Docker eventually, but in my experience it’s a very cumbersome and fiddly process.
Unless something breaks and needs more hands-on, I feel like OpenMediaVault’s container interface completely replaces Portainer and smooths the on-ramp for newbie self-hosters.
This is awesome!
Did you spend a lot of time underdrawing with light pencil, or is this more of a doodle using just the marker?
I love how clean and dynamic it is. It just has that “cute but badass” quality we love Pokemon for, but also looks like something you’d see in an old school TTRPG manual. :D
Thanks for this, I’m impressed by Bambus’ quality but I’ve always been highly suspect of the true cost of their “turnkey” operation and appliance-like nature.
It was making me sad seeing people just recommending them left and right even though it seemed like a huge step backward from all the hackerspace community-spirit innovation we’ve been seeing with 3D printing.
I’m really glad to see people pushing against that and advising people to consider the ramifications. <3

It’s all Thiel’s stupid idea. He’s started a ton of companies all ripping off Tolkien’s work while basically LARPing Sauron. Such despicable trash.
OMG, preach! Louder for the kids in the back!
People are far too eager to identify under monolithic cults that demand perfection, instead of just, doing their best at what they feel is a good thing.
This is how I feel about work. I got a new job, I liked a lot of the tasks, they feel meaningful and it’s a heckuva lot better than the one that I used to have!
Less than six months in and I’m like "Okay, this is no longer new to me. I’ve already peaked here. Sure it generates currency but I have to come back already?? "
I’m trying to remind myself I don’t want a job that’s consistently a new and novel challenge, because that will burn me out on choosing new and novel challenges for myself.
Still! Frustrating. If this was skilled work like the 2014-ish tech industry I could just jump in 6 more months and double my salary, but it’s not. Lol
I think I ended up with a hybrid of your approaches haha. I run Proxmox with a VM running Open Media Vault, and that VM ended up hosting all my Docker apps because it has a REALLY nice interface for managing all of them!
I only have my PiHole and 3D printers on separate VMs
Downside right now is, a lot goes down if that OMV server does, so reminder to everyone (including me lol) backup lots!
Yeah as a warm blooded human being I’m all for a little spicy entertainment, but I feel like the mainstream of that industry is becoming even more depraved and unhealthy because, like everything else, it relies on the attention economy and prioritizes addiction. It’s also notoriously cruel and exploitative of its talent.
That’s SO cool.
I always hoped one day I could make creative things as gifts that people would actually think is valuable, but not just like in that…“I’ll hang it on the fridge” kinda way hehe.
It’s like leaving cookies and milk out for Adam Jensen or J.C Denton ❤️ lol
Yeah, when I get the urge to buy, I go through my library and pretend it’s a “store”, and “shop” for something I haven’t played.
Small psychological trick that…seems to mostly work. :)
Also if you wanna go real oldschool, Divine Divinity and Beyond Divinity go for like 70¢ occasionally. :D
This is exactly why I laughed out loud, incredulously, at Dell’s “AI powered laptop” commercial that promises you will “free up so much time for the things you love” by using AI.
From washing machines to robot assembly, we’re still buying that old lie??
The tools improve, the expectations increase, the wage stays the same.
