“Wow you signed the document in blood, you must be really hardcore.”
“No I’m just cheap.”
“Wow you signed the document in blood, you must be really hardcore.”
“No I’m just cheap.”
That’s…pretty believable.
The amount of money you save (and invest) isn’t accurately depicted with this though. Living expenses don’t necessarily grow with take home, if you keep lifestyle creep to a minimum.
So what this means is that if you make $100k and save $10k/year, if you start making $200k you can save the same $10k/year, plus the entire additional $100k after taxes (let’s just say that’s $50k+). So you doubled your salary but your savings went up 6x+.
Not sure why you’re saying Python forces everything to be object oriented…?
But “included” doesn’t mean free. You still paid for it.
Isn’t universally funny.
If you don’t want to sail the high seas, and you don’t want to pay, the library is a great, free option.
Many, many (most?) commercial ham radios are powered by ~12VDC, and can be run directly off of a car battery in many cases (always use a fuse, kids!).
Ah, pretty sure that’d be the whole OnStar transceiver, too (which isn’t a bad thing to disable…).
I thought the antenna itself was behind a fuse (as in, feedline has an inline fuse) which would be a peculiar design I think.
Are antennas usually behind a fuse?
hopefully someone will appreciate it 😋
Not sure if wholesome, or wants there to be a car crash…
(I know what you mean, I just found it humorous.)
Our experience is that basically the only really expensive thing is childcare. Are you eligible for subsidized, or free, care (or have trustworthy and willing relatives)?
As for gear, babies don’t need much. But for what they do need, reach out to friends, neighbors, and family! We’re fortunate that we could have afforded everything new, but we really only bought a few things because friends and randos alike gave us so much free kid stuff (we bought a nice stroller, a baby basket, and an IKEA crib — basically everything else was a hand-me-down). Join local “buy nothing” groups, or parent groups (sadly they’re usually WhatsApp, but whatever). Most people hate throwing away stuff, and would rather it go to a good home.
Look at programs for subsidized/free necessities like diapers. There are lots of resources out there, especially in cities.
As everyone else said, no one feels ready. We certainly didn’t!
What kind of cutlery are you dropping that requires refinishing your floor?
So what is an easy to use or no think thing I could use a pi 5 for?
It sounds like you really want something that works “out of the box,” in which case, I would look for projects that have disk images available.
This severely restricts what you can do with it, and as others have mentioned, is a bit antithetical to the Pi’s original purpose as a tinkering machine. But you may find something you like.
The most basic would be to just use it as a desktop replacement.
Does Minecraft server have a known memory leak or something?
As a hack you can always set up a cronjob to automatically reboot at a time when you won’t be using it, but not sure if that defeats the purpose of a Minecraft server…
It’s maybe not that bad for a “normal” person, but Bill Nye was a real hero to a lot of young folks, be they aspiring STEM types, science enthusiasts, or just curious people. So to see him sell out — abandoning scientific integrity for a quick buck — was pretty disheartening.
Immich looks particularly good to me.
It is! Been running it for a few years now and I love it.
The local ML and face detection are awesome, and not too resource intensive — i think it took less than a day to go through maybe 20k+ photos and 1k+ videos, and that was on an N100 NUC (16GB).
Works seamlessly across my iPhone, my android, and desktop.

(Not sure if other stuff too.)
For very simple tasks you can usually blindly log in and run commands. I’ve done this with very simple tasks, e.g., rebooting or bringing up a network interface. It’s maybe not the smartest, but basically, just type root
, the root password, and dhclient eth0
or whatever magic you need. No display required, unless you make a typo…
In your specific case, you could have a shell script that stops VMs and disables passthrough, so you just log in and invoke that script. Bonus points if you create a dedicated user with that script set as their shell (or just put in the appropriate dot rc file).
And over twice the GDP.
