It feels so much to be open with yourself to the world!

As long as you’re venting it sufficiently you should be good

My setup can change the air in my apartment about 6 times per hour

But mine also runs double duty during the summer time (lease says no AC so it get HOT during the summer) to help cool it down after dark.

lol I got a Dell Latitude 5420 with nearly the same specs, mine only came with 8GB of ram so I upgraded it to 32GB. I did that though almost 2 years ago when prices were sane though.

I’ve also loaded mine with Kubuntu, it came with Linux Mint though which was cool.

The older Dell Latitude models are quite nice IMO. Like the 5000 series ones.

You can snag them for fairly cheap from Free Geek on eBay.

Also having a 3D printer. They typically belch a lot of particulates into the air while printing not to mention depending on the kind of hot end you have it can basically be the equivalent of burning a nonstick pan every time you print.

EDIT: This also applies for resin printers BTW just in lightly different ways.

Totally understandable why you’d change career paths from farming to computer related things, that shit is hard AF and a nightmare.

Solar farms though are way easier than other kinds of farms though, in fact I’d say it’s closer to computer work than farm work.

Basically monitor output, keep the panels clean, and keep debris to a minimum around the panels. Oh and of course repairs, but without moving parts those repairs are gonna be happening less often than other kinds of power generation.

So it’s all compromised, gotcha.

Can’t win a fight if you don’t fight.

Also standing together is the only way to win such a fight as one against the hellscape we’re facing.

I feel you on that man, every time I’ve had to work under my first gen CRV (it’s a 2000 model year, made at he end of 1999) it’s turned into a weekend project.

Rear sway bar links? 3 days. Trailing arm and rear control arm bushings? 2 days. Sway bar bushings? 2 days AND ended up swapping out the rear cross beam because of how fucked it became during the whole shitshow (the latest project with it).

Under the hood? At most an afternoon.

The last time I pulled a dashboard out it took a week to get it back to as functional as it was when I pulled it out. At that point I was just happy to be done with it lol

NGL I was excited to hear the news of official GrapheneOS devices coming, hopefully they won’t just be their flagship devices but the whole product stack.

“Oh you want me to use my own Microsoft account here at work? That’s a shame, I don’t have one.”

“Just gonna add this loot to the party’s inventory real quick.”

OMG YES!!!

This makes me really happy because it’ll make collaborating with friends on things a lot easier.

That’s cool, still leaving though.

I ain’t submitting my ID to anyone over the internet.

This is a place of anonymity, not for proclaiming from the rooftops who I am on here.

That’s the hard part really, finding a new group chat platform.

My friends and I are switching to Matrix but finding a community there is gonna be a bit tough.

We all become too dependent on Discord and now we’re paying the price when we try to leave.

With each passing year this comic ages more and more like wine.

It’s like all those articles that read “The vehicle struck…” instead of “The driver struck…”, “A shooting then took place…” instead of “The officer then shot…”, etc, etc.

It’s a deflection of blame and whenever I see it it makes my blood boil.
