  • I get it. There are ways to gave privacy and dignity without having to have your own room, though, like finding a free or salvaged desk and set of bins to hold all your things in one spot.

    Sharing a small studio with multiple people – roommates or family – works best when everyone kind of agrees that ‘their’ space is ‘theirs,’ and certain spaces have, say, the furniture arranged in a way that boundary off / designate those areas.

    It’s not always fun, but it works! Take it from somebody with experience. You can figure something out to make some areas feel more like ‘yours.’



  • Thank you for posting this! I assumed some FF-based browsers, while claiming to remove telemetry, in fact still phoned home to a degree. This is good know!

    Also, I was surprised by a few others on the list, like Mullvad, Kagi, and DuckDuckGo, being so straightforward – not that making fewer connections implies better privacy, as even a single connection can transmit any kind of data, but moreso that there some browsers that are designed to operate with less complexity.

    Really surprised by Zen, which is a FF derivative claiming to be all about a ‘beautiful’ and ‘simple’ web browsing experience, having a ton of connections.










  • The jar looks like it’s made a glass, which is common and probably worth only a few dollars.

    Jars of coins, however, are much more rare, and could be worth a lot more. It’s kind of hard to make jars of coins. Maybe if you melt them together. Sounds like craftsman work.

    If you have a picture of your jar of coins – maybe this was an upload of the wrong jar? your glass one? – please post it so we can assess the worth. Thanks.




  • What’s your hypervisor manager? Or are you just bare metal?

    For VMWare and Proxmox both, I would recommend the community edition of Veeam. It can handle up to 10 VMs for free.

    If you’ve got the funds as a small-to-large business, Veeam’s first paid tier, on a yearly basis, is a solid option to backup even more.

    Caveat emptor if you buy a license (or not): Veeam runs on Windows only. I have used, like, a single internal network Windows VM dedicated just to Veeam before. It has an easy to pick up UX after a little research, and the UI is clean.
