Paper route summer after 5th grade (maybe 10-11yo). By freshman yr highschool, I had 4-5 routes totaling 270+ papers and would inline skate the routes to save time. Sundays were a bitch to say the least. But when I went “collecting” it was awesome getting paid and keeping a lot of that money! I went through so many wheels, bearings, and laces, and kept upgrading skates too. Been working 1-2 jobs ever since pretty much. I’m hitting 40 soon.

Illinois has them EVERYWHERE 🤮😭

I’m a regular at home, relationship is so-so with the cook (my wife) but we get along, flirt, and hook up occasionally too so that’s nice!

I’m on Lineage OS and it’s pretty good minus I can’t fully utilize my cameras as much, but it functions.

I love having 4-5 day battery life though. I charged up Sunday and am at 68%still, no lie! Not having Google everything run in the background is awesome!

I have around 130TB redundant and it wouldn’t equate to Netflix. Though I store in higher quality than most, but you’d need low quality like 720p utilizing h.265 or AV1 to save space to hold all that. Likely anything you download would be h.264 so you’d need to convert all that media too.

Can you sneak in a raspberry pi? Maybe install pihole, eblocker, adguard home, or technitium on it and point your PC DNS settings to it? Requires hooking up another device on the work network, idk how locked down you’re network is, but it’d be sweet if you could do that.

I run everything at work. I’ve got 3 raspberry pi’s I run for redundancy and block ads for everyone at work. Occasionally, one of our teams complain because they’re searching a product on Google and clicking the top link that’s an ad, so I just whitelist their PCs from blocking. It’s annoying they’re so set in their ways, like find another link that doesn’t say sponsored, but oh well. Best of luck.

Oh no kidding?! I mean, I never knew until the computer age when hard drives hit giga-bytes.

I’m just looking forward to the innovations of sodium ion batteries from BYD, CATL, and Goshen. They’re doing a lot of large scale large capacity batteries that’re cheaper and safer to produce and operate. Hopefully BYD implements into more vehicles, and I think CATL will too since they made the F150 lightning and Mustang Mach E lithium batteries. (Technically let Ford use the technology to make them iirc in Ford plants to be called American made or something)

It’s gigawatts but they mispronounced it because, well, in the movie it’s 1955 and they much power was probably never heard of. IMO it was said wrong on purpose to show how absurd it was.

Blackest black, and he’s banned from using it lol

Is that who invented it?

I like Vanta black too

Oh I gotcha, playing dumb so the dad figures out is the bf. Mkk. Sorry I just woke up when I read it 😅

Awesome!! About time. Time to go update stuff!

So the bf is also the brother?

Honestly, any secure messaging app would suffice! Maybe minus Signal since that needs a phone number currently.

I use an XMPP server to do messaging for my kid without a “real phone”.

Honestly, with lineage it’d be pretty locked down as they couldn’t do Google play apps for major social media, but I guess it depends on how old and knowledgeable they’d be about loading micro G for that stuff.

Also, iirc, you can use an MDM with Lineage OS bc it’s still Android at its core, which could run Android enterprise, and Manage Engine does full MDM for free under 25 licenses/devices. Might be worth a test to deploy apps that way. I’ve done that for regular Android devices when my oldest wanted more freedom without me having to utilize Google all the time.

USS Nodefleet

Did anyone make an instance called starfleet?.. Since, you know… It’s federated?

“DOES NOT COMPUTE!”

-Zuck probably

But don’t you pay for its use, like providers and indexers? Seems archaic, and I’ve never had enough good reasons to use it so I’m curious what others say. If I did, I was a teenager and probably didn’t understand what I was using anyway.
