But you don’t have to run pi-hole on a pi. I run it in an Ubuntu Linux container on my Proxmox server.


Awesome advice and a great way to prepare for unexpected death or incapacitation (if you are the one in your family who usually handles all this stuff). I only would add that if you do go ahead with this, use tools or a medium that mere mortals are familiar with. Assume the person who needs to read it only knows git as a Larry the Cable Guy reference ("git 'er done!").


I think this overly technical approach from the OP is terrible for a handover. You're now tied to this exact stack of technologies and after your death, it won't be updated even once.

I tape the manual and the transit bolts of a dishwasher to the top of it and that's it. For heating and stuff, a laminated sheet of paper attached to the pipe does the trick. If you love all things digital, create a shared online folder filled with .docx documents. For those you'll find a tool to open and edit them in 40 years time.

Sure, for some the creation of the digital stack is the purpose itself. But documentation that lasts decades? I don't believe it.


Why don’t do both? I do both. Long digital documentation and short one printed on a piece of paper attached to the thing.


Exactly my thoughts as well. Labels and stickers in appropriate locations. E.g: my house has junction boxes with circuit labels in marker. Notes for appliance specifics, filter sizes, etc. This way the information can be found at the relevant location, does not get deleted, or goes behind a paywall.

Us tech people love to over-complicate things sometimes.


This is great stuff. I’ve had this bookmarked in my browser for almost 20 years!

I should see what else I have in there…


But… Hawaiian pizza?


makes sense in a weird way. if you're running. pineapple got plenty of sugar in em which is exactly what you need when you're running and eating at the same time.


But with 600% more smug.

This doesn’t even really need reporting when every rando-vegan out there is running up to people they don’t know to announce shit like this.

Downvote me, but you know it’s true.


In this thread, the only people who seem smug are those saying "i'll never give up meat!!!!"


The data shows fish have less of an impact over tomatoes. Meat is more than beef or lamb


Not according to this https://www.co2everything.com/co2e-of/tomato

Fish ... 1,32 kg CO2e

Tomato ... 0,32 kg CO2e

Environmental impact of food production of tomatoes would depend on the method of production and the season. Growing tomatoes in the winter in non-insulated greenhouses heated by coal energy would be very bad, obviously. Importing tomatoes by ship could be better in that case (CO2 tranport budget is usually under 10%), obviously seasonal produce is best.

Meat is not CO2 only, though. Other impacts of animal agriculture:

- Greenhouse gas emissions

- Deforestation (50% of pastures used to be forests)

- Land degradation

- Water pollution

- Water overconsumption

- Loss of biodiversity

- Antibiotic resistance

- Ocean dead zones

- Inefficient land and resource use

- Ethical concerns

- Contribution to zoonotic diseases

- Air pollution

- Eutrophication

- Soil erosion

- High energy consumption

- Chemical runoff from pesticides and fertilizers

- Destruction of habitats and ecosystems

- Inequality in global food distribution

- Public health risks from foodborne illnesses

- Nutrient pollution

- Strain on waste management systems

- Overfishing (40-70% of plankton gone, sharks 90% gone, fish almost gone in 2040's)


That's not true, and fishing is not sustainable.


Downvoting you because this contributes nothing of value to the conversation. Leave this crap on reddit.


A whole lot more people don't eat meat than you realize. Some of us don't go around advertising that fact because we're tired of being ridiculed, but we still show up in surveys. I don't think some 5-10% of people on the street are "running up to people they don't know to announce shit like this".


Ah yes, the “they were asking for it” defense.


Not an expert, but I did recently upgrade the pickups in an older guitar. I learned that not all pickups are wired to the guitar the same way. Seymour Duncan HotRails had to be connected differently than Seymour Duncan VintageRails, for example. This would be a complicating factor to any hot-swapping system.


Like the old Cauzin Strip Reader.


Man I wish 9-5 were acceptable here in the midwest. I wish I could move (I'm in my sandwich years now, caring for parents and teens in high school). Everyone here works farmer's hours and suggesting otherwise is equivalent to admitting you are a slacker.


WFH orders during COVID19 have been a kind of blessing, with regard to my DSPD. I can sleep in an extra hour or two and hit that 8AM meeting 5 minutes after I wake up. When we have to go back to the office in June, I'm going to have a problem though.

I work in tech, but I live in Michigan and work for the auto industry where the norm seems to be to wake up at 4 and start work with the farmers at 6 AM. I'm a "late" morning person since I prefer to start at 8 or 9.

This has been held against me my entire 25 year career. 15 more to go and then I can sleep how the hell I want.
