Wet/dry vaccuum over the drain. Cover the overflow with you palm. Works very well.

Pick up an old fused box! This is how they all were 80 years ago :-)

This is a guess, but if you see a lot of gatekeeping on instagram - it's completely marketing crap. I notice the anti-ryobi posts (advertisements) often and it's ridiculous.

I'm getting some Wells Fargo vibes here

Because I'm laying in my hammock out back with a beverage and my wifi isn't pulling its weight outside the house

2nd this - great way to have tons of flexibility

You're not wrong. I don't give it access to my lan. The roku, we've had for so long, I'm accepting the data collection from - but it's also not a 1500 dollar device....

Pertaining to Music -- investing in some decent speakers and amp that wouldn't break the bank. I leave our TV tucked away in a dark basement area and reserve the main living area for music. This turns our house into a relaxing environment. I'm not a #killyourtelevision person... but getting that out of the main space has been an unexpected stress reliever.

I recently purchased an expensive samsung tv. There is no way to disable advertisements or data tracking... They're selling you an pricey piece of hardware and want to sell your data - double dipping at its finest.

(My solution has been not to agree to their tos, which means i can't use any of the apps on it. I just plug in a roku and use the tv as a monitor. Also looking at adblock/pihole once i get a proper firewall back up)

Basic stuff

• Proxmox server
• Plex server
• Wireguard vpn
• Bitwarden on docker
• unifi controller as LVM
• Docker
• Portainer
• Tiny Core linux as a script server on Pi-4

What hardware did you buy? I'm looking at building a new box for proxmox. Currently I'm using an old laptop with an extra ethernet port dongle to run proxmox and virtualize opnsense, unifi controller and a couple other lvms. From others posts i read, i the choice between bare metal or virtualized seems personal. I went with proxmox just to learn a thing or two about vm environments and its applications.

My guess is that redditers will want lemmy to be just like....reddit, but without the public-corp nonsense and with UI that is at minimum on-par with 3rd party apps people gravitate toward on reddit.

I'm totally new to this so I'm also figuring out my way around. The federated organization is confusing for sure, but not so much that people can't get it.

Some work could be done from a user focus... Simplify(including caring for duplicated hosts and communities), educate on lemmy's benefits, make searching for new communities seamless and less of a quest.
