  • I’m a decade younger, but until about 5 years ago we could get a dozen large eggs for $0.99 (caged). Probably highly dependent upon the area (urban/rural, quality of surrounding land, overall cost of living in relation to wages, etc.).

    They are currently over $6/doz here. I’m not sure by how much as I haven’t bought since they were $2/doz., which has been years now.

    I know it’s valuable, I do, it’s just not something I am interested in at this time. It’s on my to-do list, I’m just not there yet, and so it isn’t what I’m looking for right now :) it’s a lot of extra effort I have no real reason to put forth for the basic setup I have… and sure, keeping my settings would be nice, but really not worth the extra effort at this particular moment in time if I’m being honest.

    Easier is relative… can I move it? Sure! Will I ever, though? I mean… even if I could, probably not… so I don’t really care to do legwork when it probably will never actually matter. If my server computer dies again, I mean it’s not like I have RAID backups or something… ima have to rebuild the lot either way. Again.

    The only things I want to learn docker for are the rrs. Sonarr, radarr, overseer, etc. I don’t have them now, so no rush.

    But yeah, I only have a rpi3b+ (iirc) and that’s so much overkill for a pihole… but I got it back when it was cheap for that specific use and now I regret not getting a zero or something really shit to run the pihole off. But I’ve heard people run Plex/jelly off like suuuuper simple server configs. That’s actually why I’m here and why the docker chant has been super disenchanting. Because I figured more than a handful of people would give some sort of option for just… lightweight stability.

    Debian seems to be the main rec, and I’ve heard mixed things about that as a daily driver, (and I know server software is different… sometimes… for…………reasons? That probably don’t remotely apply to me…) but the fact that the rec comes almost exclusively with containerization concerns me tbh because that’s not the kind of setup I have right now… and I don’t think I need that…

    Cool, I’m well aware of what people have told me thanks. I’ve gotten literally all of the notifications.

    You -are-being a dick, whether you are “trying to” or not :) and clearly didn’t even read the OP, so have a great night friend.

    Temple isn’t even a valid useable os, how are you -not-being a giant dick? 🙄


  • There’s no name I actively want to go by, is the problem. I’ve tried with minor changes but nobody took them and they aren’t things I can just be like “this is me” because it… wouldn’t be actually? I’m envious of people who have the option to choose their own name, or how to apply it. Mine is so short there’s like 2 nickname options and I hate both. Passionately.

    Best I’ve ever come up with would take a full name change (first middle last) to be worth doing. And that’s not worth doing.

    I’m super glad it was effective for you, though, honestly that’s what matters. If it matters enough that you have a preference, it matters. My preference is just “anything else please” and that’s not a good option for most people, which… legit.

    No judgement on your relationships, whatever works. I haven’t the energy to be weird about it :)

    That’s too much work; I don’t know how to do it and have it work; I don’t want to put forth that much effort to learn an entire new dynamic for something literally nobody actually cares about but me… I mean there’s tons of reasons I wouldn’t want to do that.

    As a self-host community that should be like… understood…? But I was apparently wrong to make that assumption. Most of this community can’t even suggest anything that doesn’t involve docker. Which is super lame for low-level hosts.



  • I literally took Latin in college for the sole reason that Latin is used in super stupid ways, and my science communication degree would be worth less without that knowledge. Because Latin-base is fully half of the science terms you need to know.

    And my college was super on board with my reasoning. Wish I’d also had the mental capacity for ancient Greek, because that’s literally the other half of naming schemes.

    Ridiculous.

    I’m super into modern scientists giving shit pop culture names. Because holy shit is it ever more memorable than some random Latin/greek bullshit.


  • I feel your pain. I wish I had a better first name or middle name to go by but I’m stuck between a shit place and a shitter place. And none of the nicknames I tried to get assigned actually worked out for me so… I either get nicknames I hate as much as the name itself or nothing. Super fun!

    And if you want to change names, holy fuck, best of luck!

    At least you have something you can relate to? I have never met anyone, of any gender, named Shay. I know that doesn’t necessarily help… but… it’s definitely not something I’d (as a solid middle age sort of person) consider a gendered name. Not more so than Aaron/Erin or any other neutral name…

    That sounds pretty easy. I guess maybe docker is just this… like… monolithic thing everyone says you need to know and I… don’t…? So having the vm option is probably chill, thanks!

    I’m sure it’s not as big as it seems, but it just… seems super overwhelming.

    I’ll do some looking into that. It’s just been this… albatross. I’d love to have the rrs set up. I appreciate a non-docker starting point! Thank you!
