  • DE gang rise up!

    Yeah the savings are real.

    Though early on I went through a phase of buying vintage Gillettes, and spent an amount of money on different soaps and brushes and such.

    I spent WAY less than some others have, by a wide margin. That, I know for sure. But still, probably a bit over $200 in extraneous accoutrements over the first couple years.

    Eventually I settled on a Feather Popular, gives a dang fine shave for like $20.

    Then my buddy talked me into getting an AS-D2 at the same time he was getting one. Cost $150, which is crazy, but it's solid stainless steel. The thing will outlive me a hundred times over. It's my daily driver now, and I've settled into one soap, all in all I'm very frugal.

    Don't know how long it'll take to recoup my costs lol. But it HAS been 10 years since I got my as-d2.. That's $15 a year.

    I feel like compared to cartridge plebs, I'm still ahead of the game 😁

  • Terminal Recommendations? I want Yakuake mixed with Tabby

    Jump

  • I'm vaguely comfortable in the terminal. I installed a fresh version of [your favorite distro] to do some quick work on a spare PC. The default file manager wouldn't connect to my NFS share, some weird error.

    Instead of tracking down the problem, I just fired up the terminal and mounted it manually. Quicker and easier.

    Stuff like that.

    But I could never imagine being power user enough to prefer one terminal over another. You guys are discussing features I barely understand let alone have a preference on. I only just recently added sudo !! to my repertoire!

    More power to you!

  • What is your cinema hot take?

    Jump

  • I'm mixed on this. If it's a serious movie, then I agree wholeheartedly. It's not funny and it breaks my immersion.

    But if it's a more relaxed or even funny movie? Bring it on, the more subtle the better, I love hearing it, always gives me a chuckle when I'm in a chuckling mood.

  • If it's people I don't know or care about... And it's not directly in front of my line of sight... Then I guess.

    But I'm really sensitive to light in my periphery. I drive with the dash lights as low as they will go without being off, and can't stand new cars with the LCD equivalent of the sun in place of the radio.

    But in my own home? My own family? Especially if it's a movie I really care about and they haven't seen? Drives me bonkers, because they are missing the best parts, or will be confused later because they are missing details. Frustrating.

  • That doesn't clock as the traditional Wilhelm scream to me.

    I'm not trying to say you're wrong, I don't know much about this. I'm just saying if I were watching this with zero context, I wouldn't recognize it as being the Wilhelm scream. Whereas normally I hear it in every movie it's in, pretty clearly.

  • Nice! That's the thing, right? That's the key I don't think people understand.

    My normal energy level, once I've woken up for a few minutes, is how I used to feel when caffeinated, after having been on the stuff for awhile.

    The low energy they feel, is literally the caffeine addiction talking. Your body gets so used to it, you're not feeling the buzz you felt when you first tried it, you're just maintaining a normal human level of energy, but it feels like a buzz because without it your brain is so addicted that it's suffering for it.

    Crazy.

    Now I still have a little caffeine for a really bad headache I can't shake. But it only takes a few sips of coffee or pop, and I'm good. It's not enough to make me feel wired, but I still might struggle to fall asleep that night, when normally I don't struggle at all.

    Caffeine IS powerful, people just get used to it, but their body is still affected every day.

  • Not throwing shade, but caffeine is a crutch.

    If you ditched it, it would suck for a few months sure, but then your brain will adjust.

    I've been caffeine free for over 20 years. If I stay up super late, or wake up super early, I struggle for a moment, but then I'm fine.

    Water is my go to in the morning.

    Your body is so used to caffeine, that you're literally medicating yourself for a condition you created for yourself. You need it in the morning on a weird shift, because you always use it in the morning on a weird shift.

    Again, sorry for the rant, I just feel very strongly about this scientific fact.

    Best wishes to you

  • Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops

    Jump

  • I got my framework about a year ago, before the tariffs got crazy, and well before ram got crazy (I put 96 gigs in it to play with AI workloads, and for the lulz).

    My plan is to ride this thing until it starts showing its age. Which I imagine will be another 3 or 4 years? Only then can I comment on my actual desire and commitment to upgrading it.

    Until then, I'm just banking on the fact that the company will a) live. And b) still have parts for my machine.

    I do appreciate what they're doing, and I like my machine now.

    There are definitely people out there who upgrade super frequently, who knows, maybe I'll be one of them in 1 or 2 years instead of 3 or 4. Hard to say what life will look like then, the way things go these days.

    Jump

  • That's his point. It's similar to framework, but not the same.

    Easy repairability is great, truly.

    But framework offers more than that, easy repairability AND upgradability, because they offer new upgraded parts with the same compatibility as the old ones, so you can just drop them in.

    Lenovo is not yet doing that. Which is fine. Just a noteworthy difference.

  • Just because tying them up doesn't hurt or stop the overall operation, you still wasted that one guys time and probably hurt his metrics 🤷‍♂️

    Still not worth it to me

  • What can you host with limited bandwidth but lots of storage?

    Jump

  • I am an avid Linux user and sharer of ISOs, never had a lick of trouble on 30/10.

    10/1.5 was tough but doable.

    1.5/300k was impossible.

  • Funny how perspective changes things.

    Growing up we had dialup. Around 2009 we got 1.5mbps down, something like 300kbps up. DSL, for 8 people.

    We had that until.... 2014? 2016? Then we got 10/1.5, mbps, down/up respectively.

    We had that until 2022 ish, when we got 30/10. And I started self hosting with ease, plenty of bandwidth for myself and my immediate family's needs.

    Only last year, 2025, did we finally strike gold and get access to fiber. 8000/8000 available, but it's spendy.

    I'm used to living with significantly less, so I opted for the lowest tier, 300/300.

    I feel like I'm legitimately living in the future right now, so fast.

    I feel for everyone who is stuck with slow Internet. But it's all perspective. And from my perspective, 20 up is plenty for most things your average person wants to do. More is always better, obviously. But even then, you don't need gargantuan pipes to self host.

    I will say, these days, anything less than 10/10 is criminal. 20/20 is slow but manageable. 30/30 is more than most normal people realistically need, though obviously, again, more is always better 🤷‍♂️

  • I love this community.

    There's way too much of this AI stuff going on for me to be able to keep track of it all.

    But now I know the next cool thing to try!

    I've only dabbled in local hosted AI thus far. And thus far only CPU driven, because the integrated GPU in my AMD 7840U wasn't supported when I tried it a few months ago.

    I plan to check into it again when I get time, maybe they've update the driver's or the program or whatever was holding me back. It was a pretty frustrating experience NGL

  • IDK man, I bought a 10 pack of cheap thumb drives on Amazon a year ago, just big enough for giving to friends full of files or installing Linux or whatever. They were microcenter brand.. Not high quality.

    The other day I used the last two, took them to work. Went to buy another pack? More than double the price I paid last week.

    Yeah yeah it's flash, not HDDs. I don't think it matters. Everyone is riding the "computer get more expensive" train. And once the price goes up, it doesn't come back down.
