    On the other hand, the Communist and Socialist ideologies are primarily driven by much darker emotions of fear and envy. The envy is that the "rich capitalist" has a lot more resources than I have, and/or the fear is that the wealth inequality may increase even more due to inflation and my resources will naturally decline over the due course of time.

    I disagree. I am not a communist because I'm envious of "rich capitalists" who have more than me. I'm a communist because in this capitalist system, those "rich capitalists" being rich is built on other people being poor and oppressed, and because I think that everybody should be able to enjoy the best standard of living that we can give them, rather than a few people taking all the good things for themselves.

    It's quite a commitment and a rabbit hole to get into, but I run Kubernetes on my homelab which lets me do everything through gitops, and I'm never going back to anything else.

    After me eyeing it for a few years, Tanzania finally changed their laws which allowed me to pick up https://bo0.tz, which I'm very happy about :D

    On my feed reader (miniflux) I have the option to add a cookie to use when fetching the feed. If you steal your Tildes session cookie from your browser and add it to your feed reader, that should work regardless of 2FA until the session expires (which looks to be after a year?). That is assuming Tildes doesn't do fancy stuff like binding the session to your browser, but I think that's probably not the case.

    It might not be complete enough to do everything you need yet, but the Elixir ecosystem is very deliberately trying to make itself useful as a replacement here, so that might be worth taking a look at for you? There's a little overview and explanation at https://github.com/elixir-nx.

    It's not quite as datascience focused (though I believe it can do it), but I absolutely love Elixir Livebook.

    Recycling Fabrik have come up in recent years, you can ship your waste PLA to them and they will recycle it into new filament.

    This sounds absolutely awesome! Is it already in a state that others could play around with it? Or if not, a webpage or such that I can bookmark to keep an eye on?

    I currently have both Emby and Jellyfin running, though Emby is the one that sees the most use. I need to work out a few kinks but I'm hoping to move to Jellyfin entirely.

    Most mainline backup tools these days (that I'm aware of) come with encryption built-in and enabled by default. That should take care of the risk in offsite storage, right?

    backups (would) also have to be within your premises
