Retailers operate on exceptionally thin margins so that they make nothing or next to nothing outside of major consumer holidays. The day after Thanksgiving became a day when most were off work so they’d take advantage of the extra time to go get some Christmas shopping done. Retailers would go from “in the red” to “in the black” from a profit and loss perspective.

Retailers noticed and started offering sales to lure in these shoppers who were spenders.

Door buster sales as loss-leaders became a thing and soon everyone was in on the consumer holiday.

There are some reasons. Networking can get messed up, so Docker Desktop “fixed that” for you, but the dirty secret is it’s basically a Linux VM with Docker CE and some convenience network routes.

I agree, Rancher Desktop over Podman Desktop. But if you want to cut out Docker CE completely, I think Podman is the only option.

Podman or Rancher Desktop

If you’re thinking of something like $1-2/month, also consider doing a 30 dollar 1 time thing (it saves on transaction fees) and you basically just paid for 2-3 years of donations.

I might be wrong, but they meta-search across multiple providers, including their own. The real benefit is that YOU can choose which search subjects to prioritize when trying to find something specific.

For normal search stuff, this feels like “old Google” (no ai spam). For detailed searching, its better than any other engine I’ve used.

100%. Best option ever

I’ve been really happy with Kagi since switching.

It can be worse, we had to add a captcha for those link scanners cause they’d submit the forms and invalidate tokens too:(

We use Alma, which is basically Rocky. Before that, CentOS. Lots of people don’t need or want the expensive support contracts.

OSS support though donations and commits is the way to go unless you get value out of those contracts (we would not).

I moved over to TabloTV about 8 or 9 years ago. I got tied of fixing stuff when I would update something and Tablo just worked on the Roku without much fuss.

I’m still happy with and love the Tablo, but it’s no better than MythTV was, just easier to maintain.

Pay to play was the problem there. I had the highest ranking joke page on webcrawler for a stint, but Yahoo wanted $500 to put me on top. My 15 year old self was not interested.

I started cooking, period. My wife used to cook, now I do. It’s weird, but the pandemic totally flipped our roles.

Not in any order of magnitude

I have to look it up every time, but this is always worth reading once a year to remind yourself:

Check out WeBoost brand repeaters. I live in what used to be a rural area and when we moved in the cell signal was trash inside the house but fine outside. Put an antenna outside on the roof, ran some coax cable to the kitchen and mounted a repeater there. No issues. Works for all major cell bands.

Have you found any good private server sublemmies? Whatever we’re calling them?

I think you meant YAGNI, but I dunno, YOLO might be a legit strategy for you too ;)
