Think it’s better to travel without a phone at all and buy one when arriving in the us? Problematic I guess with everything being digital

I wear ANC headphones most of the time and especially in public because people are too loud. I have nothing playing, it’s just quieter ambient noise.

Changing a timing belt is not serious maintenance. Just something that needs to be done at 100k. I just did the timing belt and water pump on my 300k tundra over the course of a weekend for 100 bucks.

I switch between an iPhone and a GrapheneOS phone. I have a garmin watch and never thought to use it for tap to pay. I’m dumb. Setting this up this evening

Unfortunately, these days with how governments want to spy on everything your phone is your biggest vulnerability. Better to travel with a dumb phone than something that will send you to jail. Regardless whether it’s wiped or not, depending on the mood of the officer.

Thanks! I’m getting into cooking and have basic teflon pans (Rachel ray pans given to us by my MIL) and I’m looking to get nice ones and be done with it

TIL DARPA is still around. Kind of thought they got the “doge” treatment

I got that same email but skimmed it. I guess I need to double check and then move.

These are great suggestions. It’s what I see pros doing, just really hard to get there.

I used to play q3l competitively and I can’t imagine trying to get any real results using a gamepad without help. That’s a neat idea.

This is fun! I wonder how difficult it would be to build something solar for just the mini.

I just threw together my old 1060 in a steamOS - adjacent box running cachyOS. It’s great for couch co-op platformers. The GPUs were overkill for most games then and can still run new indie 2d games now.

Unrelated to your post (I missed those form factors) but has imgur become enshittified too? If I try to zoom in on your picture it gives me a popup I can’t clear telling me to install the app. Sad.

How would one go about running this server, or a part of it? I’m guessing not all the map has to be in ram at the same time right?

I’ve been a regular lemmy user for a few years now and it’s gotten better. The communists (and fascist) platforms have been de-federated from the major platforms. It’s still full of Reddit complaining from ex redditors. I don’t think that will change.

My login server is lemmy.world, so if you sign up with something else ymmv.

I have up to 1tb of ddr4 in my server but it only has a 12gb vram 3060. Would getting a 24gb vram make this a viable system or am I throwing money away?
