I am def getting into self hosting. My biodad actually got me a raspberry pi for xmas so I can start learning Linux so I can start self hosting a bunch of shit

Tbf, I feel like this ain’t why the government failed at redactions, but the the thought of it being true is very amusing.

Samesies

Absolutely legendary.

I’ll def post about it once it’s done! Rn only my inner circle of irl buddies and my editor are reading it.

Thank you! I plan to share it here on Lemmy once I get published. I’m having so much fun with it. It’s SUPER different than my usual writing an it is honestly a blast

I’m going to review my options EXTENSIVELY. My book is the best thing I’ve ever written and my beta readers are already fans of it and I’m only 3 chapters in.

Ah. Yeah that’s not a feasible thing for us unfortunately. My editor is part of a small startup publishing company, so their revenue is pretty much non-existent right now.

Idk how I didn’t think of that, my goodness

Is there a personal Nextcloud option? It looks like it’s all for official businesses

It’s a fact that the horses that are the hardest to keep clean for more than 30 seconds are gray mares.

(All white horses are considered grays unless they have pink, unpigmented skin. Almost all white horses have pignmented skin. Sandy’s skin is mostly gray. She also has gray and reddish brown flea-bitten coat markings which can be hard to see in pics of her. )

Only when people are using the water on her. Rain is fine, as is her water bucket. And rolling in mud puddles is absolutely grand. She also lets me use fly spray on her, but I have to show it to her and say “spray” before I spray it or she’ll wig out a little.

A wet sponge in someone’s hand, though? oh no. No way

And don’t you even think of bringing a hose near her unless it’s to fill up her water bucket or soak alfalfa cubes.

Horses be wild fr lmao

It really is.

It took literal hours. We do baths in sessions. I do one side of her body, then let her dry a bit and settle down, and then do the other side. She thinks people getting her wet is scary and will spook at a sponge if she doesn’t watch it touch her

Lmao. I haven’t been able to give Sandy a full blown bath yet because she’s scared of hoses. She’s gotten sponge baths and little rinses but nothing as thorough as I wanted

100000%

Thank you! Buying her horse fashion is very addictive

I love writing, and my best brainstorming happens while driving. Sometimes I’ll just take a little drive to think about my ideas and try to flesh things out.
