I mean… Historically I find the superbowl ads (and the halftime show) more entertaining than the actual game, but damn that is shitty.

The Ford Maverick hybrid looks quite excellent

Yeah, a generator would be a great option for most people, I imagine.

30 million users and still nobody likes my posts

I think they do/will make a lot of sense. Being able to drive to a job site and run your welder or other tools from the truck’s battery seems like a game changer for certain applications. The Chevy Silverado EV and the F-150 Lightning seem pretty nice to me. They’ll both be much more appealing once battery tech, charging speed, and charging infrastructure improve. I’m pretty stoked about this new company called Telo, I hope they make it. It’s a pretty small truck with an 8’ bed that’s about as long as a Mini Cooper, plus it has the solar tech from Aptera.

Edit: and I imagine the Rivian R2T and R3T will be pretty sweet.

I love it. Thanks for sharing, I hadn’t heard about this.

It’s an improvement over his last haircut. He looks like he actually goes outside sometimes now, too.

That actually helps a lot, thanks!

I appreciate the extra details but I still don’t know what “caddy”, “VPS”, “tailscale tunnel”, or “zero days” are, but I can look it up.

Can someone ELI5? I’m a noob who aspires to set up immich in the near future. I only recently started making efforts to separate myself from the cloud. So far I’ve got a wireguard server set up and I’ve disconnected both my Bambu printers from the cloud and I’m currently setting up some home assistant stuff. Pretty soon I’m hoping to set up a NAS, Immich, Plex (or similar) and replace my google nest cameras.

Linux ban on discussing Facebook.

I recently tried out an “LED banner” (called LED scroller in the google play store) app that lets you scroll text on your screen. Pretty cool, I would totally pay $5 or maybe even $10 for it. In the free version, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many ads in such a short period of time. The paid version was $15 PER WEEK. That’s $780 per year. To scroll some text. It’s the only app I’ve ever bothered to post a review for.

I did some research on the population today. Every page I’ve looked at says it’s going to peak around the 2080’s at around 10.4 billion and then start declining.

IF I have kids with my current partner it would probably be in about 3-5 years.

Passing down knowledge and raising a (hopefully) good person are among my main reasons for having kids.

If you don’t mind me asking, how old were you when you became a father? I’m 37, my dad was 45 when he had me. If I do end up having kids I damn sure do not feel ready.

Has anyone close to you told you that you should have kids?

That’s fair.

Those are both among the main arguments I have against having any.

Hey OP, I’m just starting my self-hosting journey as well. I can program a little bit in Python and C++ but I haven’t needed any of that so far. As others have said, some familiarity with Linux would be very helpful. The things I’ve done so far:

• Wireguard VPN server on my router(no programming or linux commands, just some config of my router which I was able to do in the router’s GUI.
• Wireguard VPN client on some of my devices. My phone setup was easy, still working on setting that up on my Windows/Ubuntu laptop.
• Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi (WIP).

Eventually I plan to set up a NAS with Immich and some local IP cameras and Plex or something similar.
