While I agree broadly with what you are saying, your comment ignores the externalities that society puts upon people that causes a lot of these feelings/habits/behaviours.

We still should do our best to not be this defeated. We should absolutely do our best to take care of ourselves mentally and physically, but for many this is far easier said than done because of the externalities.

What’s the actual story behind this meme template?

Kevin was smart enough to know you don’t call the police.

No joke.

Accidental Renaissance

I mean, sure, iron, etc in my food. But I wasn’t out in the garage gnawing a hunk off the bumper of the car.

How the fuck do you eat metal? (Yes I read the article. Still flabbergasted)

If the baseline vegan precept is no animal products of any kind, then I would agree nobody is actually vegan

Interestingly enough, this concept was used in pattern making for casting machine parts back before modern machining and parts manufacturing.

They were colloquially called shrink rulers, and looked like a standard ruler, but were actually longer to account for the shrinkage of the material being cast.

For example, say you’re casting a part from iron, which shrinks 1% as it cools, which amounts to 1/8 inch per foot.

An iron shrink rule would look standard, but actually measure a foot as 1 foot 1/8 inches to account for the shrinkage (this is an example and not meant to be actually accurate).

Source: am historian that interviewed pattern makers that used shrink rulers in their work.

Edit: spelling

How did you get into my fire safe?

I have a full time job and am working poor like many. I’m hosting all this on a decade old PC that I built back in the day. I find the time I spend on deploying and maintainig my services very rewarding, but its not for everyone, and that’s fine.

I’ve been at it for years. It takes time and effort and learning to do, and I’ll be the first to help people who post questions here to Lemmy for self hosting.

FOSS is a community like any other with good and bad apples in it. You can learn a ton from the community and take control of your own data if you want to.

I find it very rewarding and fun, but if you expect me to write a full how to every time I mention that I self host that’s a little crazy. I’ll happily answer anyone’s questions and share my knowledge but I’m not just gonna dump six-ish years of my notes in a comment.

Yeah. Web search sucks these days. Here’s where I find stuff:

Awesome Self Hosted is a list of all kinds of self hosted options broken down into categories. It’s a great resource. I browse this pretty regularly to see if anything catches my eye.

The selfh.st email newsletter is also great. Weekly email with some self hosting news, new projects and projects that have updated.

And the Lemmy communities!

I’m running it on a nearly decade old PC I used to use for windows and gaming back in the day. Before I ran it on the PC I ran it for several years on a raspberry pi 4 (8GB).

For offsite, I roll my own by keeping an (encrypted) hard drive stashed in my desk at work. I update it every couple weeks or so, which is fine for me.

Edit to add the PC is now running Ubuntu server, and in addition to nextcloud I run like 15 or so other services for myself and my family like

Navidrome (rips of all my old CDs and new ones I buy) Jellyfin (rips of all our DVDs) Radicale (caldav for calendar. Could do this with nextcloud but I wasn’t running it for a bit there) Joplin server for my notes Mealie for our recipes Forgejo, my private gitforge

There’s more but I can’t think of them.

I’m running gos on a pixel and rolling my own cloud with nextcloud on my server. Works great.

Hahaha! Even tankies gotta eat! (though I’m not actually a tankie. Just happened to pick .ml when I joined Lemmy)

As a self-hoster, I love docker. It’s been an amazing deployment tool.
