Yeah for real. I have some very niche interests but get very obscure ads

If you want to stay in Germany and hop across the border, Strasbourg and Colmar are both nice towns. Has German influence but you get the benefits of being near the black forest for a 2 for 1 trip.

I mean we do right?

Trains are typically 2 x 4 bogies.

But then high speed rail have fewer wheels due to friction.

I'm playing thronefall.

Difficult but super fun. Only made it past level 3. A bit too preoccupied to play further.

Also playing on a steam deck!

I have 2 x 20TB in ZFS1

In a separate server running 6 x 20TB in dual ZFS1 mirrored pools.

I have 2 x 18TB in a remote country being updated every 7 days for viral copies.

I also have 14TB single cold storage drives tucked away in a pelican case in the basement.

I'm currently using all Exos or Ultra stars.

Next iteration will be 3 x 24TB in ZFS1 and 8 x 20TB in ZFS2.

We don't mention West Taiwan, tis a silly place.

There are 2 updated hinges they sell.

Unless you're talking about something else

Bitwarden Premium is $10 a year. Less than $1 a month.

Bitwarden also has a free tier.

I wanted a sound bar, and got some affordable ones.

Then I went into budget audiophile.

Got a cheap Sony receiver and 2 bookshelf speakers. Got the whole gig for $175 total. Beats any kind of sound bar.

Did a Sonos test in store and really could hear much difference despite being much cheaper and completely offline.

Now my wife is telling me to go Sonos because it looks better with her aesthetics.

Told her I'm not getting anything that requires an account software to run. Guess we're going to stick with bookshelves for a while

I concur. I offset my gas consumption by using public transportation as often as I can. I reserve car usage for places that take more than 20% to get there via public transportation.

So if I go to a place and it takes 5 hours to get there by car, then 6 hours by public transportation is acceptable.

So the more remote a place is, I tend to drive.

Yeah even in my sedan I get 7.8 and that's with a lot of long distance travel

They need to raise gas tax to offset EVs, ergo, higher gas prices!

I'm very very lazy. Id rather have the OEM supply their own model than to get a 3rd party.

Then again I'm one of those heathens who pay for OEM camera batteries rather than wasabi power (which are amazing in their own right)

If you're okay being in the EU, I use Ionos. €1 a month with a IPv4 address and no contract.

On the US side, Oracle has a free tier for 2 arm CPUs. You could load balance between them, but they're still kinda slow.

Either of these you can test for very low costs and see what you enjoy.

I'm using Outline. Is that safe? I've never tested it against a hostile nation though.

I often skip first gens hence why I got a 12th gen and then upgraded it to a 7040 series. Super happy with the battery life and performance.

I may have missed it, but as of now, framework doesn't offer the controller board by itself just yet.

Knowing them, it's probably not too far away.

Oh boy, German internet prices would like a word.

All jokes aside, it's gotten way better the past few years.

But I'm still paying for texts. Imagine that.

But do you sanitize and vet your carrier data?

Triangulation using cellphone towers is not unheard of and they can subpoena it.

Then again, a national state actor going against a private entity is rare and the private entity will often lose.

Same thing with my home cameras, I use unifi because it's easy and the data is stored locally. That way the police can't subpoena Amazon or any of the big companies for their cloud data.

I'm being very facetious. Privacy is a losing battle. You fuckup once, you negate a lot of hard work.
