Just a home lab for fun and experimenting.

Excellent suggestion! Thank you!

Thanks! I didn’t even think about running a local app, but this may be a fun find to experiment with!

That’s a great idea! Thanks! I’ve got unbound running locally on one instance of Pihole, and I’ve got it in a LXC for the other instance. Using the configs to pull from git would make that much easier to sync.

Thanks! I’ll take a look at those!

Huh. Good tip! I’ll have to test this out.

I have a “main” Pihole on a Raspberry Pi, and I set up another instance in a VM for secondary functions.

Big fan of the Mouse.

“Scrubs” or “cleanses?” I’m pretty confident I know which word Hitler Jr. would use.

If you’re getting something for free, you aren’t the consumer, you are the product. Open Source projects (free as in speech) need some way to pay for the beer (not free). Enshittification is accelerating the conversion of services that have some form of free tier into more aggressively finding ways to monetize those users. Even services you pay for are selling your data, to make sure they can get maximum juice.

Well, given the goal is to turn Windows into a cloud-hosted, on-demand subscription service, it makes perfect sense.

Thanks for the tip! Didn’t even consider those games, despite having been a fervent Linux user at times.

Bitcraft looks really interesting. I’m tempted to give it a whirl on my MacBook, too.

I’m still waiting for it to be delivered, but I’m not sure if I want to break it in with No Man’s Sky, or start installing EmuDeck. Honestly, I want to do “all the things” as soon as I get it into my hands, given the way people gush about it.

This, right here, is the highest quality “Shower Thought” I’ve ever encountered. You win!

Basically, yeah.

“It’s an original Justin Case. Like Vera Wang, but just in case.”

The proof of that fact can be found in things like the Pepys diary. Dude was stoked about his cool watch, and his dalliance with an actress.
