I'm commenting on weird car habits in a "fuck cars" community, lines up pretty well if you ask me. Are you sure you're in the right community? I'm sure there's plenty of pro-car communities on Lemmy for you where you can enjoy discussing centering your life around your automobile over your home.

You claim I have zero empathy but you're the one arguing "fuck healthy or productive coping mechanisms living your life in your car is just as good and fuck you for saying that people should seek better options." GTFO with that nonsense.

Thats super popular at the Greenway parking lot near me, but honestly where its at I always assume "drug deals."

It doesn't bother me but it makes me laugh when I walk by lol.

That doesn't make it healthy. As someone who is hyper isolated due to living on a pension, it only compounds itself.

Thats possible I reckon. I live in a fairly conservative Bible belt "city" so I'm used to being surrounded by all the things I find insane, counter productive, etc 🤣

If you have to spend 3 hours a day in your car to avoid people, you need to speak to a professional.

If you have to sit in your car for 3 hours to avoid your wife, you need a divorce. 🤣

Same with any other situation, if you have to live in your car you need to change your living situation.

Where I live I see multiple people who will sit in their cars for multiple hours, I was just being generous with the "one hour." Lol

Ive been doing yard work for probably about 2, and there's a dude whose just been sitting there the whole time in his driveway, which prompted the post. I see it often enough to call it a thing though, definitely. I go for a walk most days and sometimes I'll just double back, and see someone still in their car 30-45 minutes later.

To be clear, I totally get taking a few when you get home or something. Really wouldn't bat an eye at 15 minutes regardless. An hour or more though, yeah sorry thats weird and no amount of normalization is going to change my mind. I'm so tired of people trying to tell me people aren't fucking weird about their cars 🤣

 

Everyone I know, even more "progressive" people, treat me like a damn alien for not prioritizing getting a new car since mine died over covid.

Why does nobody blink an eye at this habit people have of just..... Sitting in their car in the driveway? Its not on, there's no music, they aren't leaving - they're just sitting there for an hour or more. I see it fairly often, but if I mention it being odd people look at me like I'm dumb. Are we really THAT car centric now that it's this normalized to be like "fuck my living room, fuck my TV, fuck my couch, I just wanna sit in my car all day?"

I know I'm a techie but I can't wrap my head around how people have ZERO idea how any of this system (internet) works and sometimes even get mad if you try to explain it. So much......everything revolves around it now.

I don't like cars, but when I had one I still learned the basics of how it runs and how to do a certain level of maintenance. I can't imagine just living some "haha car go brrr" life.

The pi4b can't handle h.265 so I'd have to upgrade anyway, I guess I'll look into a NAS and maybe a NUC instead of the pi. Thanks for the input!

Trust me, I never shut up about how Republicans in like 12 states are either currently fighting or within the past couple years have fought minimum marriage age laws.

Dude would have gotten like two years for his SA but defend yourself from SA and its over a decade.

For all the lip service America pays to pedos being bad, its shown VERY consistently its real opinions on the matter.

 

Howdy All! I've been self hosting some services on a pi 4 for a year or two now and have been fiddling with new services lately. I realized I'm pushing 60% or so of RAM and maxing out the SWAP file while fiddling with things. I currently just set up a nightly reboot as a temporary solution but I'm thinking about picking up a mini PC of some sort to replace it with, and wanted to get input from the community (Read: people smarter than me haha.)

I'm happy to hear any preferences anyone would care to share on hardware. I know obviously more RAM is key, as far as I'm aware CPU isn't super important and any recent-ish box will probably have a fine enough processor in it, and of course I'll probably end up getting a bigger external drive to hook up to it but that's not a big deal.

Also, I'm currently running docker/portainer on an OMV core, just how I learned/got into self hosting. Should I take the opportunity to learn Kubernetes or some other big boy system? I've not done alot of reading into it but I know clusters are gaining steam these days even for self hosting, would that be valuable to learn more about as a hobbyist/enthusiast/whatever? I'm fairly competent and used to have some CompTIA certs but as such I know better than to unnecessarily complicate my life lol. It sounds cool but I don't see a use case in my personal usage.

Thank y'all for your time and knowledge!

I'm currently running: Baikal, Bookstack, Bitwarden, Duplicati, Filebrowser, freshrss , Linkwarden, Apache, Navidrome, nginx, portainer, rpi-monitor, searxng, stirlingpdf, syncthing, watchtower,

I'm considering: Nextcloud, Maybe a game server or two depending on the needs?, Whatever else seems interesting, I guess :P
