Fuck yeah, public transit - Right in my veins, lets go.

But for right now, there is ZERO public transit infrastructure where I live, which is only about 20-30 minutes to a medium-sized city's downtown. And when I say ZERO, I mean ZERO. We don't even have busses here. No trains. NOTHING. We don't even have sidewalks on most roads - if you want to walk, you're literally walking in the road. I used to ride a bike to work a long time ago - I can't even count the number of times I've had shit thrown at me by shitbag rednecks as they zoomed past in their lifted pickup trucks.

The local governments' answer to all this is "If you don't have a car, fuck you." Cars are literally the only option. If you don't have a car or a driver's license, you better find somebody who does and give them gas money, or consign yourself to paying for Uber/Lyft anytime you want to go anywhere. It's straight-up dangerous to travel any other way around here.

I bought a cheap used Dell R710 on Facebook marketplace for like $100 or so, as well as an ups, rack, 10g switch, etc, from various other sellers. All told, I’ve got about $500 in my server setup.

Installed proxmox on it. It’s “free” if you don’t buy a license. You just have to put up with a little nag screen when you open the control panel but it still works 100%, much like winrar.

Works great.

Edit: just realized this is in c/selfhosted AND I misunderstood the post. I’m gonna leave it here just on the off chance it’s useful to somebody, but I acknowledge it’s not what you’re looking for.

And in rural areas, it'll be called "skeet shooting with prizes". I know exactly what my redneck neighbors are like...

FWIW, I've used privacy.com a few times. Works pretty well.

It’s coming. Slowly. But it’s coming.

Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads (www.lowpass.cc)

Roku is exploring ways to show consumers ads on its TVs even when they are not using its streaming platform: The company has been looking into injecting ads into the video feeds of third-party devices connected to its TVs, according to a recent patent filing.  ...

You are a fucking hero. I couldn't figure out why my Roku TVs were still able to get ads after blocking everything.

FWIW, I run proxmox at home, and I friggin love it. It's really not hard at all.

Bruh. I make pens as a hobby. Happy to make and ship you one.

I still have the three on the right and the third from the left on hand. Can also make whatever.

The stripey one, second from the right is recycled skateboard deck. Those have been really popular. I've got a big ol' stack of skateboard decks ready to go to make more of them :D

I still have the third one available. I'm asking $50 for it, with free shipping to the continental US. It's padauk, canarywood, katalox, and leopardwood with an aluminum inlay and a cyanoacrylate finish..

LrdThndr ,

The bolt action is wenge with a oil/wax blend friction polished finish. I'm asking $100 for it with free shipping to anywhere in the continental US. It comes with a free black faux-velvet sleeve for safekeeping.

I will ship internationally, but that's not included, sadly.

LrdThndr ,

There’s a pen sub? I was on r/penturning on that other place.

LrdThndr ,

No online store. I just do it as a hobby. Feel free to dm me whenever.
