What’s on my USB stick you ask… A bunch of random shit I haven’t touched for 8 years so I have no idea what it is and it’s probably outdated, but I’d be damned if that usb stick is not In my keychain because “I might need it one day”

Here’s an idea. Use a mikrotik router board. They are super cheap and support VPN natively. I use wireguard but it should also support openVPN as well. Maybe more I’m not sure. The small hap series are super cheap and works great.

Mikrotik all the way. But prepare yourself for a nice steep learning curve, but now that om past that i sware by it. Super fast and infinity configurable. The entire router configuration can be exported as a txt file and imported in seconds so if it breaks just get a new one and load up your config and you are good to go. Also the forums are a gold mine of information. What i love the most is just how fast it is. Setting take effect instantly. Also means it is extremely fast to lock yourself out of not careful. Again, steep learning curve but really good after that.

Product idea: “water cooled micro SD card reader”

Is it too late to grief my g-drive with tonnes of AI generated fanfiction and bullshit documents for Gemini to train on?

I used this for a project once and its great. Super powerful and has a great API for automation https://kanboard.org/

BS like this has made it impossible to maintain a consistent experience for my parents who aren’t super tech savvy. It’s so frustrating helping them over the phone for hours only to realise that windows just on a whim changed major settings without any user interactions. Changed theirs OS to Debian now. Much better.

Possible: yes

Recommend: absolutely not

Thank you. It was mostly ment as a joke tho. I’m not actually afraid to ask, but more ignorant because it’s all behind VPN and that’s just so much easier and safer and I know how to do it so less effort. Https is just magic for me at the moment and I like it that way. Maybe one day I’ll learn the magic spells but not today.

Everything is behind a wireguard vpn for me. It’s mostly because I don’t understand how to set up Https and at this point I’m afraid to ask so everything is just http.

To me it’s also about integrity. Know when to stop and when to take a break. Sometimes it’s good to stop while things are good instead of him keep pushing himself to produce untill something bad happens like worse quality. Scandalous YouTube drama arises or what ever else he’s in risk of ending up on. I’d rather keep remembering Tom as a really good person and YouTuber withe excellent content than a Tom who lost to the system. Also he might have a comeback with something else, something new and innovative that we couldn’t even imagine.

I don’t use anything but water under my arms. I found that after a while my armpits stopped smelling as bad. Maybe I’m just lucky. It’s all about bacteria. The sweat itself has no odor but the bacteria unde your arms feast on the sweat and starts producing smelly “farts”. I found that over time I build up bacteria that doesn’t smell and bacteria that actively remove any smel, so if I smell from stress sweat it’ll dampen down quite a bit over the following hour or so. Treat your armpits like a sour dough in your fridge. It’s a set of healthy bacteria you don’t want to accidentally kill. Interesting enough if I use soap to wash every day my armpits starts smelling stronger again so for daily wash I basically just use a lot of water and rince each armpit for a solid 30 sec to a minute each rubbing with my hand. Soap kills the good bacteria too and makes it worse. If you use any only use a tiny little bit. I also found that shaving my armpits makes me smell so much more and it’s uncomfortable too because I can feel the sweat drip down because it has nothing to cling too and cool you down which is exactly what it’s ment to do, so I basically just let my hairs be and it helps me sweat less and smell less. I’m lucky I don’t have that much hair but I’d assume it could be trimmed rather than shaved for many. There’s a reason we have hairs under our arms and they do serve an Important function. For me gone are the days of yellowed t-shirts from deodorant and Gone are the days of allergy inducing perfume.

I have a raspberry pi with a cheap 5TB usb drive at my parents house that boots up once a week and pulls a backup. I use rsnapshot to create incremental updates that takes up every little space and is easy to manage. I have the drive accessible with smb should I ever need to pull a copy from there. It’s super slow but that doesn’t matter for an off-site backup and it is super cheap

Edit: I should maybe add for future readers that cheap does not mean cheap quality but cheap relative to the amount af TB you get per dollar. I use a WD shingled drive wich is quality drive but cheap and slow af. But it doesnt matter because the internet connection is the bottleneck anyway.

Or you get zaped back in time to the 18th hundreds

You now also know absolutely nothing about tech

But it’ll always appear on the opposite side of earth

But you’ll wake up the next day in a someoneelse’s body somewhere else on earth knowing nothing of your new bodys past experience language or anything. You can only remember your past life experience. This might not be as bad as I sounds actually. Could be interesting.

But only when you are naked. Otherwise you’ll be miserable. Sorry this got kinky real quick

But it hurts like hell and you are in pain the entire time you shapeshift
