Easy! Lie down on the ground and throw a tantrum because a band I like has the audacity to provide an option for me to support them further.

Don't worry, I can feel that the Force is strong with them. They have many midi-chlorians, so a karmic debt in the millions should be no problem.

Ukraine would have MORE territory? Is this just a joke that I don't understand?

I love my single TRÅDFRI Zigbee lightbulb.

This morning, I'm off to groom the goats and gather fresh eggs from the geese. The greenhouse needs tending too, with its gourds and guava plants.

After that, I'll glide on my skateboard along the gritty pavement, feeling the cool gusts. For lunch, perhaps a grilled cheese sandwich with gouda, and a glass of grapefruit juice.

In the afternoon, a game of golf awaits, grueling yet galvanizing. And as dusk falls, I'll gaze at the glimmering stars, grasping the grandeur of the galaxy.

Then I'll grab my guitar, gleefully strumming glorious melodies.

Next, I'll gear up for gaming, getting into go-kart racing and guild quests. Great for unwinding and igniting gusto.

Then, on to grub: guacamole with garlic, garnished with green onions, alongside golden tortilla chips, goulash, gumbo, gazpacho, gravy, granola, gorgonzola, and graham crackers. A gourmet, gratifying snack.

Later, I'll grab my gardening guide, to gain groundbreaking insights on growing gardenias. Guiding the creation of a grand, lush grove is very gratifying.

Before bed, a glance at tomorrow's goals: glazing pottery, a new, gripping hobby.

Does this give a good glimpse into my day?

Using a VPN, even if the server is located in the same country, provides several benefits:

  1. Privacy: It encrypts your internet traffic, hiding your online activities from your ISP and potential eavesdroppers.

  2. Security: It secures your data, especially on public Wi-Fi networks.

  3. Bypass Restrictions: It can bypass internet censorship or network restrictions in workplaces.

  4. Avoid ISP Throttling: It can prevent ISP throttling based on content type or data usage, ensuring consistent internet speed and performance.

Are YOU stupid?

There's probably no reason to be running two Pis. A single one could easily do both.

I just recently got myself a Pi 4 8GB for €86 on Amazon, a barely used 10TB IronWolf NAS HDD for €120 on eBay, and an HDD enclosure for €20 that powers the HDD and plugs into the Pi via USB3. Currently it's running Plex Media Server, qBittorrent, Wireguard, AdGuard Home, Nextcloud, Caddy, and a few monitoring containers. It's handling all of that easily. I'm using it headless and just stream content to my TV. Currently I have no redundancy for my drive, but I'll get around to that eventually.

You can of course keep using PiHole for your setup. I recommend you check out [email protected] and r/selfhosted.

You don't even need to buy a microsd card anymore because they now ship with the firmware that can boot from USB.

If you're on Android, I think this still works. Try setting an alarm for 5 minutes from now and turn your phone off. It should turn back on for the alarm.

Edit: Just tried it and it worked on the native OnePlus clock app, but not on the Google clock.

I think you've got a setting wrong. I've got mine set to download only. So it just downloads the update in the background and notifies me. I have even left that notification sitting there for months before without it forcing or nagging me.

I feel like he's the one bidding.
