A repair cafe?? Im not from the EU so I'm not familiar with the customs, but is it like a cafe with tools instead of food? Or is it like a community repair shop where people go to work on stuff?

Edit: I normally would recommend choosing to bike or get rid of a car if OP wasn't about to go broke and cars make for amazing shelter as long as you can maintain them.

I know how to find people, it's in my name. Thus I also know how to make it difficult for me to find you.

Learn to do things yourself. Let me give you a few answers

  • Car oil change: $35 for both the oil and oil filter. Would be a little over $75 if I had a shop do it.
  • compare prices when buying food, same with the amount of food in the container compared to the price.
  • spend in cash, easier to follow a budget if you have physical money in your hand.
  • buy things from the second hand market, my laptop that I use was $1100 MSRP, got it for $750. That's a good deal
  • don't eat out at restaurants
  • eliminate monthly services.
  • fix broken things. I fixed my aunts AC window unit for about $10 with a used run capacitor from eBay. Would have costed a little over $300 for a new one.

There are lots of things I could talk about, and some of these things involve learning a bit, and some time. As someone who was without a job for the entirety of COVID, it forces you to be thrifty.

That is some pure innocence right there.

Other people have amazing reasons not to come, so Im not going to add on to that regard. But if your coworker chooses to come, here are some points to take into account when traveling

  • Don't make it look like you going to be staying for a while.
  • Be the gray man: don't take it literally, but don't dress fancy or to rugged. Blend in. If someone takes a photo of you walking by someone else, you don't want them to say "yeah he went over there".
  • be situationally aware: don't be the bumbling idiot with a phone in there hand and earbuds in when walking in public. Keep your head up, wear sunglasses so people can't see where your looking. Stay alert.
  • avoid the bad areas: do extensive research on the area your going.
  • Cash is king: harder to track and create a profile about your purchases with cash. Don't carry to much otherwise that is a good questioning point
  • shit hits the fan: if you noticed your being followed, stay calm and keep moving, make it look like your stoping in a store and go out the back door. Keep a change of clothes, hat and sunglasses. I'm not an expert on evasion but there are plenty of guides out there
  • don't bring your personal electronics, use 2nd hand burners for your travels, just use them a bit before coming as to not raise suspicion.

Found them, and they do in fact, taste like bar shit.

No, it was something else. The gas station that had it stopped carrying it. But these things had to be made of rubber.

I can find a pack of 6 for 1.25 but they taste like absolute garbage.

Congratulations on having a strong immune system, but others aren't so lucky.

 

Figured I would pick up soldiering electronics as a new skill. This is the first thing I created, it works. Any tips or ideas are appreciated!

 

Took me about 3 and a half hours to do this. Looks good, now I need to get off the couch and begin segmenting the network for when my SO clicks on a green download button.

 

I'll start off, my favorite song is all along the watch tower by Jimi Hendrix. That guitar at the start just sounds so beautiful.

 

Hello guys & gals, I recently distro hopped to fedora and I'm having problems getting the NVIDIA driver to properly work. I get a error when booting that says "Nvidia kernal module missing - falling back to noveau" I've tried the following;

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/711756/fedora-nvidia-kernel-module-missing-falling-back-to-nouveau

I should note this is a laptop and my GPU is a 1660Ti and I can toggle the iGPU from the bios.

 

Hello, currently I use qksms but its very problematic and lacks basic fetures. One of those issues being you cant send videos, and sending and recieving media is pixalated or blurry because of a commpresion issue. I've already tried adjusting the compresion options in settings to find out it doesn't work.

What messangers do you guys/gals recommend?
