I am a big fan of the shade garden, and of course the Japanese Garden as well. If you have kids it is an even better stop as the childrens garden is one of the coolest

As other commenters have said though, paying for usenet may be more worth your while (especially if you wait for something like black friday). In terms of music, books, and general media I have not found it a struggle keeping my ratio up. To be fair though I don't devour content, especially in music I don't download a much and try and just use FL tokens. Happy to send u links to places if you want to dm!

With larger artists who don't have a bandcamp (T_T) I usually am just buying their CD and ripping it with Whipper. Hope this helps!
Editing with my reply elsewhere in the thread, but Libro.fm has provided me with some DRM free audiobooks. You can sync purchases with a local book store i think.

That is awesome though that you play mtg too!! You've got like the perfect setup for what you want with self hosting, you should totally take the leap!! Feel free to PM if you have any questions! (but probably worth mentioning again that I'm no pro, just a hobby I love!)

Currently teaching mostly seventh graders (save me ðŸ˜). That being said though I really like computers (nixOS all the way!!!) so I pretty literate though by all means not a developer! :)

eggy LinkI might just be not good at this, but typing c in the console log does nothing (on firefox), it just wants to correct to cache, and if I try 'c' it returns "c". Would love to see how this works!I might just be not good at this, but typing c in the console log does nothing (on firefox), it just wants to correct to cache, and if I try 'c' it returns "c".

I totally agree, and further agree that neal.fun is a much better site for students to be messing around on (i was doing the exact same thing in college so i'd feel a bit hypocritical saying anything otherwise). I wish my admin would ease up on the blocklists and instead push teachers to better manage when students are using their chromebooks. I think i can overwrite the blocklist during my class so maybe I'll see if neal.fun can be unblocked for my class 😸

Framework does make it so I haven't thought about buying a laptop in a really long time (other than a different sized framework model haha), but hey if it's gets the job done it gets the job done! :) -

I know hyprland just updated its trackpad gesture configuration which seems like it'll be really nice at increasing the functionality of it so def check that out. Let me know if you have any other questions!
In college I worked for our schools makerspace. I was I guess really good at my job, so I got all the cool projects to work on. My boss was incredibly chill and the work culture was really relaxed. I got to mess around a lot, and my silliness was all but encouraged. It was really fun and paid relatively well, especially when i was promoted to student supervisor. I got to help my boss with a lot of crazy projects, laser cutting, CNC milling, working with patrons in 1on1 sessions, all the while I could have fun. My former boss basically offered me their job as they were promoted, but I don't think I can give up teaching now. I basically would fill up on as many hours possible, because half the time I just got to mess around on my laptop. It was so much fun actually 10/10 if u are in college, try and work for the makerspace!!
