In my area I’d probably reach out to a Facebook mom, we have about a dozen women with cricuts or transfer printers in my small town.

It doesn't really help, but every Little Free Library around would suddenly have a copy or three of Little Brother by Cory Doctorow, and all my kids friends would get a copy directly.

All these billionaires really missing out on the chance to be an actual Santa Clause.

They have practically endless 'money', and they already see you when you're sleeping, and know when you're awake.

An investment worth defending, physically, if need be.

I think it's just waiting to see what bugs and rodents show up, honestly. 😬

• it was meant to be a shrubbery, but the trees got to me

They didn't include a new car though, and a 20,000 SUV is not going to be in a like new state, its going to need some upkeep. $1800/yr is probably a little low. That's one semi serious issue without including oil changes, or tires, or brakes.

I have to note that good vegetarian Shepherd's Pie doesn't seem to be a requirement.

Best we can do is a Fall Out Boy scream along.

I repurpose old PCs, not the most power efficient, or convenient form factor, but I can put a ton of drives in without a second thought, and the hardware is free to me.

I used Freenas for a while til I wanted more flexibility, then Proxmox for a long time with everything on separate VMs, but as my services became set I eventually swapped everything onto a plain Debian install.

I use Syncthing instead of a real cloud sharing option. I'm home every night, and it can grab different folders easily, and 'sorts' stuff for me.

I like Docker containers for nearly everything else. I particularly like the Wireguard-easy container project on github, and that's currently the only hole in my firewall.

My kids like having navidrome for music, I like Jellyfin myself. And I tend to get carried away since I've got a whole PCs hardware to play with so I spin containers up and down just to play sometimes. I've had Orcaslicer in one before, accessible to the network, lol.

Gotta be Mountain Dew, it's green.

All them crooked letters made some crooked folks.
