Signal is legitimately one of the worst messaging apps I’ve tried

When I can no longer use Boost to access reddit, I’m totally done with it (which I expect is pretty soon)

Yes

These days you just need to get the Wii online and do the EULA DNS hack, fully automated

Yes, and businesses have business vehicles with cheaper taxes, which cannot be used privately. Small/solo businesses can be partly exempted from this.

The size of that thing is completely ridiculous and would be a major nuisance/hazard, to drive around in a city

When normal people need to move stuff, they attach a trailer to their normal-sized car.

Even the car in the foreground is considered large in my country.

All teachers are psychopaths. Get with the program

We do it in Europe too, but maybe for 10-20 houses. Not 200

Westerners

USA

We are not the same

geographically unremarkable

True, but ouch

Our economy is a bit different, no offense, and that pricing seems fair to me :)

I can download whatever I need in <5 minutes and that’s totally sufficient for me.

I don’t think that’s too bad, sounds like Germany has come a long way.

My 1Gbps would be around 50 in Denmark (if I didn’t work for an isp lol)

Most hardware does 2.5Gbps out of the box these days.

I just have a small counter on my Polybar checking how many packages can be updated. Once it reaches a few hundred, I upgrade.

The tool gdu is very nice for finding space culprits.

Never used Bazzite, but isn’t it heavy on packaged apps with snap or flatpak? Inherently space inefficient (and I despise them both passionately).

Don’t update all the time. I update every couple of days like a maniac, but once every few weeks is fine too.

There’s a distro for every level of “I want to do it myself” vs “I want everything to be made ready for me”.

There is archinstall which does everything for you. If you don’t wanna do anything yourself though, just check out CachyOS or EndeavourOS

I only have my Windows partition for the one weekend per year I play Rust

He made a loose nazi joke like 10 years ago and the reaction was hilarious. He’s definitely not a nazi

Limiting factor will probably be network - if you hook it up with cable, it should be fine

I just use my (static) IP directly with port forwards on my router.

Sure, I get hundreds of login attempts every day, but that’s just life on the internet. Just secure your stuff and you’re fine.
