I can agree with this, mostly. More recently I’ve been trying to become aware of how much knowledge I’m encapsulating within functions, preferring to hide more stuff in them rather than less, and avoiding shallow functions that just, say, wrap a single line just passing along the arguments. I’ve realized over my career that I’d prefer a longer function that I can just read straight through rather than jump between a bunch of shallow functions trying to piece things together.
The less you eat, drink and buy books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorise, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you save – the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor rust will devour – your capital. The less you are, the less you express your own life, the more you have i.e., the greater is your alienated life, the greater is the store of your estranged being.

If you like this, check out Edward Tufte’s books too! The Visual Display of Quantitative Information is a fantastic read with some good history about these same guys, and it has some really well-explained guidance for building informational visuals. It even takes some shots at publications for misleading folks through shitty graphics. It’s some great nerd reading.
American cheese is “real” cheese, and it’s called a “process cheese,” not “processed cheese,” because process cheese is a culinary term for a cheese made from a mixture of cheeses. Also it melts so good because of a perfectly safe food additive called sodium citrate which just prevents the fat from separating.
I went to college for computer engineering, and what I learned in college has been pretty much entirely irrelevant to my self-hosting hobby. That said, there’s a ton to learn. The good news is that all the information on this stuff is available online for free, you’ve just got to have a good search engine that doesn’t give you slop and you should spend a lot of time reading. That’s how I got into it.
Services like Yunohost are a great place to start, but setting them up will still take some searching if you’re a beginner. Generally you can find services anywhere on the spectrum between “one-click setup” and “bare metal machine you can customize to your heart’s content” so you can navigate that spectrum as you learn more. Just try to always be security-conscious, research the security ramifications of whatever you’re doing.
There’s plenty of good stuff made by decent people out there, I’m fine with dropping someone awful. I also like to think it helps me avoid picking up bad behaviors or internalizing shitty ideas.

You mentioned a VPN; I’ve only been able to connect in multiplayer if I’ve turned off my VPN entirely.
The internet is a series of tubes
I remember printing out directions from Mapquest back in the 2000’s. Time is a flat circle.
Seconded, I’ve been using Ente for a couple of years now and I still love it. I pay five bucks a month for 200 GB.
Fun fact: one of their redundant data centers is in a bomb shelter. Just in case, y’know?
Baby birds look so silly I love them
I have the Yama-Budo, which is red with a gold sheen. It’s so pretty. I used it for my D&D journals which were my weekly chance to hand-write a bunch.

Is your user in the
dockergroup? That group can run docker commands without sudo.When I’m Russian, there’s no time for Stalin.
Are they selling tritium over there now?

My vote is for AniList, it’s got plenty of data like reviews and tags etc and doesn’t look like shit
