I just got into selfhosting with a used thin client (Dell Wyse 3040), only $30 on eBay. I don't know what I'm doing at all and it's still working out great for me so far, so I think that's a good enough endorsement.

If you like this post, you gotta see the response post Straycatj made:

"I'm going to tell you about his wrongdoing again."

He opened the ice stocker of her refrigerator and let all ice cubes melted

He entered that stock space after she quit to make ices
He entered her towel box(example photo) and put black furs all the towels

He threw away her kitchen cloth box when he climbed and entered the shelf

The Tomba games are great! I was thinking of replaying them this year, actually, probably for my Halloween gaming season (it's not horror, I know, but there's a lot in the games that was just creepy to me as a kid)

Spyro the Dragon - the first game specifically, I find it more of an immersive treasure-hunting experience than the next two games, which are more obviously... I dunno, video game-y. I like all three but I always 100% the first game at least once a year.

Literally had to backtrack for an ingame day or two because around when I unlocked Giant's Hearth I was like "wow, I have so many materials, I'm gonna buy a bunch of upgrades!"
sigh

It wasn't gradual, but I didn't make a deliberate choice either. It was during 2020. My fear of covid (I did get it, it was hell) outweighed my desire to go to the liquor store. By the time places were opening up again, I realized my life was a lot more livable without the blackout binges. I've felt really weird about it ever since then, that I don't really have an inspirational "I chose to do this, it was my strength and willpower to get better" quitting story since it was purely from literally not being able to, but I try to just be grateful because it really was destroying my life.

I'm planning on using it for mass block storage and some automatic farms! It's right underneath the central town in my server. (Admittedly it's a bit of a recursive problem that I need more room to store all the cobblestone that I've gotten from digging holes.)

I used to refuse to even consider variants on smores for some reason I genuinely don't remember, I guess just for being committed to being a joyless pedant. I was like the grilled cheese copypasta guy. I can't believe I was missing out on stuff like this

 

A lot of people talk about wanting to experience things for the first time again, but I find that Rainbow Goblins is one of those experiences that feels every bit as magical no matter how many times I've heard it.

Never worked there but the Taco Bell subreddits were daily reads for me. I think the most consistently hated were basically any of the gimmick options, like the $1 Crunchwrap Sliders were my favorite food ever when they were around, but I was mortified to learn the employees HATED making them. A lot of the grilled stuff seems to be difficult. Nacho fries, though I don't remember why. I know ordering a bean burrito grilled was considered a douchebag move, but I think they removed the option to do that.

 

Back in the day I used Firefox's built-in Live Bookmarks for all my RSS; I still miss it, but Brief is objectively better. People always seem surprised when I tell them that RSS readers can be embedded in the browser and not just dedicated websites/apps.

A great reason to have Brief (or probably any other RSS browser plugin) instead of an app: on any site you can click on the in-browser button to subscribe to the RSS feed, which often finds feeds that aren't directly linked anywhere on the page. A lot of websites have quietly removed their feeds from public viewing but have kept them, still updating, in the file directory.

That's @RSS, for those who might want to look it up (I really wish kbin would show posters' instances more clearly). Subscribed!

I think by "here" OP meant the fediverse in general, hence "an interesting topic and the right community". I would guess this is just encouraging people to post more in general (which I appreciate as I was mostly a lurker for my 13 years on Reddit)

I love the avatar replacement script sooo much, but I just wish the icon was consistent between posts from the same person; whether that's from using the username as a randomizer seed to make it consistent between pages, or just pushing username and generated-icon associations into an object on a per-page basis. As it is, it dramatically decreases accessibility for me, which makes me sad because the parrot brings me joy.

Of course I just wrote all this and realized someone said this exact thing on page two. I suppose I'll post it anyway just to say, yeah, I'm a user being directly impacted by it; if you can't figure it out by the time that I'm not deliriously ill then I might take a crack at it myself

 

I haven't been on here in a while since I've been busy. I'm glad to see they finally fixed reputation, if they just did away with that number altogether I probably wouldn't care either way, but having plenty of upvoted posts and still having only "-1" because of a mass downvoter was more of a bummer and a deterrent to posting than I expected
