Most of us moved to .zip. Some moved to db0 and piefed.

Watch a movie, listen to music while browsing lemmy, or take a nap. If there’s something that needs to be done like repairs or chore, I do that too.

Openbox. Simple and efficient.

A netbook maybe? I used to have an old 10" lenovo netbook with a celeron CPU and 2GB of RAM. Worked pretty well with Lubuntu. I could even play StarCraft on it. If you just need it for light browsing and office tools, it should work fine. You can probably get one with at least 4 or 8 GB RAM for better performance.

Been a while since I had to buy one so might no longer be accurate, but an inverter-type window A/C will be more energy efficient than the regular one.

What’s wrong with Apple Notes?

I assume it’s because of HIPAA requirements. The doctor is essentially recording patient information into his private Apple account. Obviously that depends on what info he was putting there. If it was just mundane stuff like scheduling, then it’s probably fine.

Mullvad’s DoH service and Leta search proxy are free. You don’t need to have a VPN subscription to use them.

I’m lucky that my city has a true IMAX theater and unlucky that it doesn’t have reserved seating, in this day and age. So I have to arrive an hour early just so I can stand in line and get a good seat.

“I don’t know why they’re running, but let’s chase them!”

There are some very hilarious greentext out there if you can filter through the racist/sexist/misogynist ones disguised as jokes.

There is definitely a chunk of services I’m dependent on because of need. The most important is probably a password manager. I know they can be self-hosted. And while I’m technically inclined enough to be able to do it, I don’t trust myself to be able to maintain it, so I rely on the provider’s service.

Another would be maps and navigation, because traffic in my city is so unpredictable that I always use navigation even on familiar routes in case of an accident or road closure and I need to divert.

The wants on the other hand (i.e. streaming services) are more for convenience rather than dependency.

Tarkus. Giant monsters battling is always fun.

my friends give me a hard time because I throw on a synthetic long sleeve shirt while on the boat with a real hat.

Jokes on them when they get melanoma and you don’t.

Melancholia.

Oh wow I completely forgot about this movie. It definitely fits the slow-burn category.

Except breaking end-to-end encrypted messaging. That’s the one sore spot.

.zip has the closest instance policies to .ee. A lot of .ee refugees moved there (me included). Some also moved to piefed if you’re considering that.

I don’t think taller trucks make you less exhausted. It boils down to how comfy the seats are. And cars and smaller SUVs typically have more comfy seats, unless you have a newer truck that boasts a car-like ride and comfort.

As for tips: Check out some videos on how to properly adjust your driving position. Get something for lumbar support if your car doesn’t have it. And take breaks, don’t force yourself to drive all the way in one go.

Every few hours or so, refresh the air in the cabin by opening a window for a few seconds.

This and surveillance pricing are good arguments against the nothing-to-hide-nothing-to-fear crowd, the next time you get into a debate with one.

Assuming your group has a considerable amount of non tech savvy people, I would suggest Friendica just for the familiarity, since it’s supposed to be like facebook and it would be easier for people to use. I don’t know if it has groups though. You might also sacrifice admin/mod capabilities. I’m not familiar how good friendica’s admin tools are (if any).
