Especially for new immigrants, it’s often a way to claim social legitimacy/approval by tying yourself to the traditions of your adopted society. “See, I’m one of the good ones!”

Technically, but I have no plumbing skills and don’t exactly want to drop $100+ for a sink-type filter that requires a lot more space than I have, anyway.

I like using Brita, but having to buy non-sustainable single-use filters is a serious buzzkill. Yet, since I rent, I can’t install one of those fancy tap-level filters either…

I mean, the rules are always a bit different for islands.

Well, they did get them to switch to USB-C, so I’m not holding my breath, but I do hope that this will lead to more interoperability. I’m tired of Apple making Android/non-Apple users feel like second-class citizens.

I remember that, Nexon?

I haven’t - thanks for the tip! I’ve mostly been running Kubuntu vanilla, aside from changing some DNS configs.

Thank you, I’ll take a look at those!

As a noob who is only moderately tech savvy, how can I get started with selfhosting? Is it worth just buying a Pi to mess around with at first?

Neat, I will have to check that out! I’m guessing you can’t enable it on locked down work devices, however.

You have your Pihole setup at work?
