Best actually practical use cases for old tech? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] 12 points 1 month ago

If your home server is enough for your needs, then you can use old laptops for thin clients (tv box, audio streaming client, arcade emulation pc, that kind of thing).

You can also divide and conquer the work of your home server, a download and file manager client, a steam-cache server, a cheap backup nas, CCTV server, home-automation stuff.

This is just a few ideas from the top of my head, but the best use I got from old working laptops were to modernize them (new battery, ssd, Linux) and gift them to people who needed them (students, elderly, etc)

    What is the most unique book you have read? in c/books@lemmy.world

    The Magical Code of Regulations: A Fantasy Rulebook of Spellcasting Laws, Arcane Regulation, and Magical Compliance by Christopher Frigo

    It's a legal code, written like a true legal code, except it's about magic use. It's really well done, not ment to be read cover to cover (like the real deal) but it's pretty trippy.

    If you want to see an exemple of the content Ben Milton over at Questing Beast did a video about it.

    Recommendations for Whimsical DnD 3.5 Adventures. in c/rpg@ttrpg.network
    [–] 2 points 4 months ago*

    It might not be the most whimsical campain but it definitely fits and since you specified 3.5e (which I interpreted as somewhat old-shool), I would like to recommend Dolmenwood.

    Is is built for OSE but it is closer to 3.5 than any content for 5e, so easily adaptable. It is a whole world with an hex-map filled with adventures and a few campains are provided. It takes place in a giant wood-land with some fey-wild shortcuts and has a good dose of whimsy (talking mushroom folks and the like)

    I recommend you give it a look, I don't know if it is the right fit for you but if it is, you have year of adventures ahead of you, ready in a book.

    How many donations worth of ten grains of rice does one need to live healthy for one day? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
    How did people treat you after losing weight? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
    [–] 6 points 4 months ago

    Oh yes!

    Currently down from 160 to 100kg (350 to 220lbs) and almost everyone is treating me differently. Many people didn't make eye contact with me either on the street or in shops, some were visibly unconfortable (or slightly afraid). I had remarks all the time about how big (not fat, just imposing) I was.

    Now cashers smile at me, people on the street are more friendly. It's night and day and it saddens me in a way. I didn't lose weight for appearence reason but for my health, and to see for the first time how people are (were towards me) judgmental is kinda sickening.

    I just though people are sometimes a bit cold but never really associated it with my weight.
