Kinda feel like they’re burying the lede on the whole Hitler shitstache situation. That seems worse than any toilet bowl and brush licking.

Hmm, that’s interesting. I’d be curious in how that would be cured and how the layers would stick together. Plaster might be interesting too since it has a faster setting period than clay.

Most clay is likely safe to ingest. However the willingness of customers to ingest clay may vary and the quantity of clay may impart a flavor on the product.

I’m also not sold on the printing process. Ceramic is strongest when the clay platelets are aligned and in a 3d printing process there are many layers. Each of the layers introduces a weak point that is likely to crack in drying or use. Ceramics already have quite efficient methods for production primarily slipcasting and extrusion. In these methods pieces are formed without “joins”.

I’m also not convinced printing it at home would be feasible for mass production/adoption.

That being said it is an interesting idea. I think you could probably make single use, unglazed, low-fire ware like Indian Bhar. Which could get recycled into aggregate. Firing adds emissions back into the process though and I’m not sure where that ranks compared to something with an existing supply chain like paper alternatives.

As a former ceramic artist I would be very wary of this solution. Bone dry clay is way too fragile to survive transportation unless very carefully packed. Potentially an air dry paper clay could work but even then it isn’t very durable.

As you mentioned in your comment, the minute bone dry clay touches liquid it starts to slake down. So you would end up with clay mush in your food and the structure would start to fall apart.

Additionally, silica dust from bone dry clay is really bad for you. Probably not very likely to effect the occasional consumer but people interacting with it often would be at an elevated risk for lung issues.

I currently use gandi but I’m planning on moving to cloudflare. Not in too much of a rush since I did a 10 year lease.

I lie down every night

I’ve been dual booting Linux and Windows 11 for years now without issue. You just need to make sure that bitlocker is disabled so you can initially resize the partition or manually set the partition size on install. EFI and split EFI partitions have made it almost impossible to break the bootloader. And if you pick popular distros you don’t even have to turn off secure boot.

The workflow interruptions can be worked around with a syncing solution like Firefox sync for browser and syncthing for files. Or by using a NAS for file storage.

Hell you could even use WSL and run every Linux app you want in Windows, graphical apps too. Or you could install Proxmox on a PC and rdp into 10 different OS VMs from a thin client.

Let’s be honest here reinstalling an OS is probably causing more workflow disruption than any of these other solutions. I know because I went through a distro hoping phase and it’s just a huge time suck for little payout.

I’ve been using an old Timbuk2 for years now. Lots of space and I find messenger bags comfy.

Your best bet is getting a platform your can sideload apps onto and running SmartTube

AdGuard Home and blocky are other popular options. I switched over to AdGuard Home a while back because it supported DNS over HTTPS although I’m not sure if that’s still a relevant reason. I run AGH as a docker container but it is easy to run in a LXC or VM. There’s also a tool to sync configs if you need multiple instances. Notice: AGH block lists are formatted like uBlock Origin lists so you will not be able to use PiHole style lists.

DNS based ad blockers won’t work when ads are served from the same place as the content. Which is why DNS based ad blockers don’t work against Twitch or YouTube. So YMMV.

If you’re looking to block interface ads and select streaming service ads there are block lists available like this one. The game with smart TVs is blocking the ads breaks the TV a little because sometimes it calls back to the same servers for updates and misc info like weather.

It’s not very expandable and very underpowered but I’ve been using an Odroid HC-4 with Armbian and a separate compute server for a while. It’s a decent budget option.

As far as I can tell a Dell small form factor and Synology idle around 15-25w and 15w respectively. Both seem to pop up to 30-45w under average load depending on what you’re doing with them. But it depends on the kind of processor you pick and additional drives will also pull more wattage.

The SFF units are limited on space. The one I have is limited to one HDD although you could put a few SATA SSDs in there and 1 nvme. The SSDs would be more expensive but lower energy use. I’ve been toying with attaching a external HDD mount to the case to see if I could add in some extra drives.

I’m not familiar with the EU/UK market, but in the US I got my used Dell for $87 from eBay. It came with 8Gb RAM and a 250Gb SSD. And it had cosmetic damage so the seller sent me a second for free :P

I think depending on how much storage you need it could be a viable alternative.

Currently I’m still using my Odroid HC4 which is probably super power efficient but limited to 2 drives and it isn’t very powerful.

The Synology units are much more user friendly out of the box though. Also I guess it depends on if you just want a NAS or if you eventually want to get into self hosting.

Just buy a used PC and the drives. You don’t have to buy them all at once since you can add drives to your RAID.

I’m headed to the store to pick up some milk and the new Arch update thumb drive, need anything?

Cuz algorithm based content really sucks sometimes. Sometimes I want a direct feed to my content.

My RSS feeds are the AP, IT/InfoSec news sources, and XKCD :P

Self hosted RSS readers

Android apps: Feeder, spaRSS, Read You (what I’m using currently but it’s very basic and I’m not sure if it’s still being developed)

Probably more out there.

Yup, I’ve walked into the gym dead tired after work telling myself I don’t wanna be here, I should go home. Then I hop on the bike for 10m get into it and it turns into 40m.

Over time the consistency just builds into momentum and habit.
