Make it yearly.

Imagine that DMV line! You’d have to book next year’s appointment at the conclusion of your test. Heaven help you is you have to reschedule. Haha!

As a car person in a city that used to have a race track, heck yeah! No more sideshows in neighborhoods too!

I pass 8 of these just to visit my parents. They are everywhere.

Warframe has advised its users not to tinkle with their Intel processor.

Good advice. Also, best not to tinker with Intel 13th and 14th gen until this is sorted out either.

My first engine was a lawnmower too! I was 6 and I didn’t think my parents thought I would get it working. I have a picture somewhere of me holding a piston like a prize fish. Worked up to a minibike later. Finished a complete rebuild of a V6 a couple years ago.

Books (remember those things?) are great. YouTube is ok if you actually find a good video. But the best is to make friends with someone who knows what they are doing.

I’ve found, almost too late sometimes, that you have to already know what to ask to learn about something. Buy new bearings for your specific engine? Great! Check clearances before you purchase in case something is out of spec? Oh, guess I’m doing that again. Oops. Haha!

Sometimes we feel like we’re screaming into the void

Bet that’s how scientists felt the past 20+ years.

Didn’t the Lemmy teams sort of fix that CSAM thing ages ago?

I remember a wave of lockdowns and hush hush related to that, soon followed by an update to Pictrs with a bunch of new docker compose settings.

My server got pooched in the update and it took me almost a month to fix partly because I had little free time.

Highly recommend SSD if just for Lemmy. Man, the syncing can take a while. I have HDD with a m.2 cache and it can still take a while. Personally, I’d go for something a little more powerful, but it’s all fun and educational.

Yeah I get it. And it may go that way.

I just don’t want to get sick, lose my retirement savings to medical debt, have social security run out, and wind up homeless like things seem to be headed.
