I could see something like /20 being useful not so much for the number of addresses but to group things by use case, then /8 because you don’t care and it doesn’t matter. Also 10.0 is quicker to type and cleaner to look at than 192.168

I use the low numbers for statics, less to remember/communicate if its a 1/2 digit number instead of 3.

My DHCP is 100-something I dont remember because I don’t care about or respect the devices using DHCP.

Exactly, I would have thought you might have some AI only free/cheaper tier. At least that kinda makes sense as a use case, not that I could see myself ever paying for it

Why would you pay for AI generated music, surely that has less value to people?

Like I don’t even totally hate the existence of AI generated music. But it isn’t worth anything to me. I can prompt it in seconds. If I wanted some kind of background music generator it would work for that, but I don’t see how that is worth any non zero amount of money.

Oh you are talking about fake meat stuff, I was thinking of normal ingredients.

Vegan is just not eating stuff from animal, someone’s reasoning for that varies.

Genuinely which ones? Everything I can think of is better than meat. Largely because the cows eat a lot of food in the first place with most of it being wasted.

I should install Debian to replace my current Ubuntu install at some point. Might move some services I run to a VM to reduce effort when reinstalling my OS. Then it’s just install steam and copy over my game backup folders. Plus with a VM I can easily move it to a proxmox mini PC if I ever get round to buying one.

Based. At least you bothered to turn up.

More niche interests, less politics. A niche community could move to Lemmy instead of hosting their own forum for example. Either hosting their own instance or using an existing one.

Been gaming on Linux for over 15 years at this point. Fuck, some people I knew back then have kids that old now.

Linux gaming is better than ever and seems to always be improving. Indie games that run on pretty low spec hardware also extend the lifespan of old hardware a lot.

Not a massive fan of steak, not that I dislike it but it doesn’t seem special and as its so expensive I don’t buy it.

If I want to spend lots I would get a bunch of different types of cheese, biscuits and chutneys. But then I would also find it way too easy to eat in excess of 1000kcal as a snack so I don’t do that very often.

Maybe my standards are low, but I don’t really see the problem with fried beans and rice with veg like peas, sweetcorn, onions as a meal. Splash of something like soy sauce, hoisin, sweet chili jam or hot honey. Its delicious.

The rent is too damn high guy has a point. Lower housing costs and even if you change nothing else, cost of living becomes far easier to manage.

Those food prices sound interesting. In the UK its the reverse. Farmers markets cost a fortune but Aldi costs fuck all.

We are not being overly frugal with food and it still usually costs under £30/week for 2 of us. If we wanted to be frugal I would probably cut out the meat and cheese to replace with grains which would half our spending.

What does fixing the system look like though? Far too many people seem to just want to consume unsustainably and would do so even more if they could.

How much does someone need?

Yes, some at the bottom really should have more. But there are many in the middle who should consume less and will justify it by comparing to those at the top who are even worse.

UK, depends who you talk to. Russian bots would have you believe everything is falling apart. London is also really expensive.

I live on the south coast, even on minimum wage I have never struggled. As long as you can find stable employment you will have enough money to be comfortable. Honestly, I don’t even know what to spend my money on.

Approx monthly bills, 900 mortgage (fuck you Liz truss), 175 council tax, 80 electricity, 120 food, 22 internet. Water is on a 6 month cycle and costs some mid 2 figure number each time so that is barely anything.

So about 1300/month. That is for 2 of us, £650/month each, or £7800/year. Minimum wage is about £25k.

Its at times like this I am almost glad windows is shit. I could run a decent Linux gaming machine on the windows 11 bare minimum specs.

Consider a voice assistant device

Sounds like spyware to me.

Used mssql-server at work where we usually use windows and its a bit shit if you want low memory hosting. Though when I have run MySQL I haven’t tested low resource systems to compare that either tbh.
