I’m pretty sure this is a thing all over the world. There used to be quite a few job ads on fiverr and similar places for people to read text from various languages out loud. I wonder why?

Last time I looked (granted this was 7 or so years ago), it was pretty hard to find much, especially in English. Though German was worse, there were a few on-line retailers but because of (I’m guessing) copyright, they wouldn’t sell outside of Germany.

I’d love to find a good alternative to Amazon…

Fair enough, would love to read something like this :-)

Yeah, I’ve been into Linux for 20 years, sometimes a bit on/off, as an all-around-sysadmin in mainly Windows places. And learned just enough of Docker to use it instead of apt - which I’d prefer, but as you said, many newer services don’t exist in debian repos or as .deb packages, only docker or similar.

Follow-up question: do you have any good resources to start with for a simple overview on how we should be using containers? I’m not a developer, and from my experiences most documentation on the topic I’ve come across targets developers and devops people. As someone else mentioned, I use docker because it’s the way lots of things happen to be packaged - I’m more used to the Debian APT way of doing things.

Honestly, I never really thought of installing Docker directly on Proxmox. I guess that might be a simpler solution, to run Dockers directly, but I kind of like to keep the hypervisor more stripped down.

It’s a dedicated server (a small Dell micro-pc). Thanks for the comment, I understand the logic, I was approaching it more from an end-user perspective of what’s easier to work with. Which given my skill set are LXC containers. I have a VM on top of Proxmox specifically for Docker :-)

Ghostfolio looks really neat, thanks! I wonder, can it import data from say Interactive Brokers?

IDK, the fuckass kind of gives it a ring, you know? Maybe fuckass Gulf of Mexico?

This is true for all of IT. I love IT - I’ve been into computer for 30+ years. I run a small homelab, it’ll always be a hobby and a career. But yeah, for more and more people it’s just a job.

Seconding Caddy. I’ve been using it for a couple of years now in an LXC and it’s been very easy to setup, edit and run.

I’ve been using Inbox.eu, provider from Latvia, for a few years now, specifically with my own domain. Was pretty easy to setup, and the support was also good when I messed up some DNS settings.

Yeah, but this has been 15 years in the making… So many people say that they ‘don’t use Facebook, it’s just where I get my news…’. Which is how we got into this mess in the first place.

Came here to say “No shit, what else is new” but you’re absolutely right, this is for people who don’t follow tech news.

Nice, great shot. Feels peaceful.

I feel both of these. I’m 40 and yeah, sleeping slightly weirdly I get shoulder pain the next day. Working out regularly has definitely helped things. Also for alcohol, I have to be careful to also include non-alcoholic drinks in an evening, say a non-alcoholic beer or something before the real thing.

I’d say CPU doesn’t matter in terms of compatibility, but that AMD does have the edge at the moment on Intel in terms of performance, energy use, etc. Especially considering Intel’s problems with their 13th and 14th gen Core CPUs.

To add to this, I think in general AMD offers a bit better bang-for-buck at the moment, at least in the low and mid-tiers.

I’d add that Social Media kind of took over this role for most regular users, but that having your own RSS feed gives you control of what you follow, instead of ceceeding control to the algorithms most social media uses to put whatever it is they want to put in front of you. So in that aspect, I do think there are also some privacy advantages in not having a central algorithm studying up what news stories and links work for you and how they can manipulate you.

Well put, and I think it’s definitely meaningful.

I’d agree the sentiment that you’re partners, not room mates, though even partners split (or share) things like costs, housework, etc. I’d suggest something like you pay your mortgage and both of you split utilities… or maybe you pay mortgage and she pays utilities, whatever seems fair to both of you. But I wouldn’t have her pay me money directly, IDK why but it feels a bit off.
