I "just" moved and now taking care of the garden. I want a small vegetable garden (again) in raised beds.

You have a lot of raised beds kits the cheapest ones are €40 and more expensive ones are €90. I however used pallet collar's at €5 a piece. You don't even have to screw them together just put them down. For some custom size beds I use free pallets. They do take some work however.

Give them one treatment with linseed oil and you can use them for years. They live longer then the cheap kits and just a bit shorter then expensive ones. (Hardwood probably out life them)

Kits for vegetable gardens are most of the time really overpriced. Raised beds kits, tool kits and so on.

If you want high quality tools buy them of course, but starter kits are most of the time just the cheapest ones at a premium. Want hardwood raised beds, just buy wood and not a kit.

I suggest start on the cheap side, see if it your hobby. Buy cheap tools they already least long enough and if they break you know that you maybe want to invest in a premium one. Because you use that tool really often. (Second hand old tools are sometimes a better option of course)

There are many 775 socket boards that support ddr3 and core 2 duo/quad supported ddr2 and 3.

There are even motherboard that support both ddr2 and ddr3 like this gigabyte g41m combo

Edit: damn at least some core 2 duo's support also ddr1. So core duo supports ddr1, 2 and 3

There are almost no lga 775 boards that have ddr1 support and have core 2 duo as supported cpu. But this ASRock motherboard does support the core 2 duo and ddr1 and ddr2

AMD is better on Linux most of the time. Running a AMD card day one is not hassle free.

That being said if you pick a up to date distro all 7000 and 6000 series should work fine now. They are already in the kernel and mesa for a while. You may want to update you kernel and mesa sometimes to get better performance and stability.

But in my experience nvidia is fine on Linux. (I only used older cards gtx 970 and a rtx 2060) especially when you have just one monitor or all monitors on the same refresh rate. It's not on par with windows but will work with the Nvidia drivers.

So I would say if you a simple setup Nvidia is fine and AMD is better. It all depends on the best deal you can get. If ray tracing is not that important AMD is new the best value. If you more on a budget second AMD Rx 5700 XT are pretty cheap here and there are some good deals on Nvidia 30 series cards.

As far I have read intel cards can be a pain on Linux. So I would not recommend it for now.

I already mentioned pretendo in a comment. But for anyone how wants to play super Mario maker on there Wii u after the shutdown. You can switch networks (you of course need to (soft)mod your Wii u).

In super Mario maker uploading, playing uploaded levels, death point, world record and staring them works. There is still a lot missing. But you can still play.

Some games and features are behind a payed beta(which I hate). But all super Mario maker stuff is free.

Seeing wara wara plaza alive on my Wii u is amazing with random Mii's and post from miiverse.

I already switched my Wii u over to the pretendo network. Uploading and playing levels already work in super Mario maker.

It's still far of from a drop in replacement, but miiverse, wara wara plaza and som in game things are working.

Dude.... Core 2 duo is ddr1, ddr2 and ddr3 🦄🦄🦄

Edit: just checked out the core 2 duo e8400. Not only does it support ddr3 and 2, but also ddr1. So added ddr1

The 2 times (living not with my parents anymore) I had now electric power unplanned was of course when it was cold. However the fancy central heating running on gas was also not working. As the main unit also needed electric power.

So I could still cook my food but that's was it. No heat. But that being said in my entire life we lost power (including as a kid) maybe 5 times and only for a couple of hours. In 33 years

I now have a heat pump and for cooking induction. So in a power outage I need to grab some camping gear. But I will probably survive for a couple of hours without heat.

But if you have regular power outages you and everybody in your country should probably vote and make your voices heard. If you live in a country where most people can afford heat pumps, the government can afford fixing the power grid.

I work as a theatre tech (light and sound) at a college(theatre arts department). I do however use Linux and made some scripts in Python to control my ligtdesk and sound table. So a bit of IT related work. But also talk with students about the creative part of lights, sound and projection and how they can use it during and after there study in there shows.

I also do some shows for them in the small Theatre in the college and outside the college.

And give them a workshop teaching them the basics and how they can tell to a tech what they want and how they can do somethings themselves.

I use ardour as DAW, but only for recording on Linux. It's also available for macOS and windows. So you can check if it fits your work flow.

I mostly only use Linux, but sometimes you just need a program with out support. In my case it's sometimes qlab, Linux show player is great(and I have used it for many shows). But it's not feature compatibel with qlab

I upgraded my girlfriends PC grom a i7-4770 too a Ryzen 2600 and just moved the drive without any problems.

I don't needed to update or change anything. Only needed to select the drive in the bios.

My dad is running xubuntu for about 6 years now. I didn't get any questions in the last 2 years. Besides for installing a new printer.

Before that it was mostly which program he needed for something. Never a black screen anymore, malware or anything like that.

Maybe a watch supported by asteroid os is something.

Some models have support for heart monitor. Don't know if there is a fitness app or something like that.

Edit a file, writing a quick shell script or whatever in the terminal. Nano is great. I don't see any use in learning vim or emacs. If I need something more I'm going use a gui editor anyway.

Don't get triggered anyone it's just my preference

It's forbidden to use chemical treatment on Eur pallet/epal pallets. They are only heat treated. Single use pallet are also forbidden to use chemical treatment, but are normally not heat treated. So for the eu the treatment is not the problem. Of course didn't think of the rest of the world. Sorry for that.

For the stuff that's was on the pallet collar's stored and transported stainless steel and the free pallets I got where form work and shipped some pavement stones.

If you don't feel safe buy/getting for free used. New epal pallet collar's are about €15. They are only heat treated by law.

I think that in the Android kernel (for your device) there are binary blobs for hardware drivers. Which are not in mainline and most of the times not even available anywhere.

Luckily fans did the work already. There are still great translation roms easy to find. (Until Nintendo does it thing again) Nintendo clearly doesn't want my money.

About 45 minutes with car. I mostly choice my own times so almost never drive in "busy"(busy traffic where I live at most add 5 minutes to your commute). As it never soul crushing traffic I don't really mind.

Some weeks I work 5 days on site from 8:00 till 22:00, but some days I work 2 days on site for 4 hours a day and one day at home. So a extra 1,5 hours a day if I work on site I don't really mind.

Only thing I would love to change is being able to go with public transport. Most days I can arrive on my work on time. (Even if i need to got up pretty early if I start at 8) But the problem is I can't get home if I don't leave before 17:30 from work. That's mostly not possible. (Or at least I don't know at the start of the day which time I'm done)

I don't really care Public transport is a 30 minutes longer commute, or that it is more expensive (my work pays the full ticket price anyway). The problem is I just can't get home after work.

Even if something like proxmox or a Debian install with docker is more customizable. It's a steep learning curve.

But isn't something like truenas scale a option? I run Emby(as my media Server) and the arr's on it. All the apps are already in the "software store" including plex. And setup of the arr's is just the same as normal. All installs are basically automatic.

I easy passthrough my intel gpu in the config page on the webportaal, but don't how easy it is for Nvidia or amd. Especially with Nvidia due to drivers. But maybe someone here knows?

As someone how yesterday got home 3 pallets and 4 pallet collar's in a Twingo. I disagree.

You don't want to do that every day for work, but in a pinch small cars fit enough. Need more room for a project at home? Get a cart. My Twingo can tow a light cart. That's 99% of all use cases for me.

Need even more rent a van. We did that with moving houses and it fits so much more then a pickup.

I really think 99% of people will be fine with a small car and a hinge. You get pretty good mileage and a small car that is not a dead trap for everybody outside. Even small ev's are great for that.

The 2s has more ram and a better soc.

As well out of the box support for Android 11. The 2+ runs android 9 with a possibility to manually upgrade to android 11.

That being said I'm still very happy with my 2+

Just use KDE connect (it's also available on windows). Just open your file browser and select the last screenshot on your phone. (It mount your phone as removable media)

It's all local and you don't have to send any extra info to Microsoft as added bonus.

All this new and fancy stuff is already solved on Linux for a long time and on windows long before Microsoft "invented" it. By great free and open source projects.

I work at a school and I don't get up early much. Mostly start at 12. My class starts at 14:30. So weeks I work from 8:00 till 22:00 but that are just 6 or 7 in the year.

Most meetings with colleagues are also in the afternoon. We are not morning people.

I made some posters in krita for work. Worked okay. Just make sure you start with the good ratio in px for printing.

I use a quest 1 on Linux.(According to the alvr the quest 3 is also fully supported) Played about the last half of half life on Linux.

However some VR games just don't run well under proton I still have windows installed for that. Even if i didn't boot into windows for a half year now.

Also first recommend installing Linux in dual boot with windows if you don't know if al your programs/games work. Nowadays most stuff works but you can always keep windows for just in case.

Thanks for you comment, didn't think of that.

I bought the used pallet collar's for a company I know and it shipped and stored stainless steel. I'm fine with that. But if someone isn't comfortable with used new pallet collar's are about €15.

The free pallets I used only moved pavement stones once, so I also think it fine. But yeah don't just pick something on the side of the road to grow food in.

A other comment mentioned chemical treatment of pallets. I didn't think of that. Most pallet in the eu are not allowed to use chemicals to treat the wood. Only heat treatment. That covers eur/epal pallets and single use pallets. Basically the only ones that are free or cheap. And it most be printed on the pallet how they are treated.

That being said be careful especially in countries without laws against using chemicals on pallets.

So I'm fine using them also understand other people are not. Then buying new are just wood for the store is always a option.

Thanks! 😌

I used liftoff and moved to thunder when my instance moved to 0.19.

I changed some settings to my liking and now I'm used to it. It isn't a drop in replacement but is okay. It works in landscape mode and has a dark mode and almoled dark mode.

I still use my PS3, enough great and cheap games and can play my PS1 and 2 games on the big screen with wireless controllers.

Newer games I play on PC anyways.

Not American, but please keep in mind that the national inflation rate is not necessary someone's personal inflation rate.

For example when inflation was in the 10%+ here my personal rate was almost 30%. My dad for example buys his bread in his local bakery it was €3 for a 1 loaf and didn't go up. The bread I buy was €1,02 then it went up to €1,96. That's 80%+ inflation will my dad had zero. This still is the case(luckily not as bad anymore some prices went down again) with the cheapest stuff. For me personally it doesn't matter if already to expensive tomatoes only went 5% up. What's matters is the cheapest.

For another example new cars didn't go up much, but I couldn't buy a new car anyway. (And how the fuck buys a new car every year?) It's a meaning less number.

You don't know if someone's rent went up %20 or there stable food supply. Personal inflation especially if you are already struggling is a removed.

That's being said the price hikes are do to higher prices of materieels and most important record profits for companies. You can blame (in the USA) Biden for keeping the system in places which profits on the basic needs of humans, but not necessary the current inflation numbers.

Same with jobs the numbers go's up you can credit Biden for that, you again can blame him (and his colleagues on both sides(and the not Biden side is much worse)) that you can barely scrap by on a single job.

Simple said personal experience is not numbers.

Damm, for that price you can buy a ds, 3ds, Wii u and a switch (V1) and have money to spare.

I live in the Netherlands and now pay €188 a year. It's just a "wa" insurance meaning if I hit something they pay the damage of the other's, but not mine damage.

I drive a car from 2009 and have 10 years of no damages. So if your willing to move to the Netherlands wait 10 years you can lower your payment. (Not really a option I guess)

I know some Linux users trash talk Nvidia on Linux like it just a piece of shit. But it's simply okay. Don't get me wrong it's not great. But it works.

But if you have a simple setup it will probably work. My SO PC has a rtx 2060 and one monitor and it works fine.

You can of course always dual boot. I still have windows for VR gaming and just in case. I do recommend a stable os with Nvidia (especially if you just starting out with Linux). Something like pop os. Don't go with arch just for the meme.

With dual booting you can try Linux and test if it's okay for you. If not just give the disk space back to windows. If not great keep using Linux.

I'm in the same boat as you and never found anything for Samsung tizen os. Smarttube is android based only and anything streamed to a Chromecast still has ads.

Edit: okay I thought let's search one's more. And there is tizentube did not try it yet but seems promising

2025 is going be the year of cheap hardware. A lot of people will just buy new computers/laptop's.

I'm helping some people already with setting up Linux. But most average users will not set up Linux. It's just to scary.

If in the future it ever gets good support for gui's and is stable. For sure gone try Qlab.

It's simple the best show control software I tried yet. But for now I will be using Linux show player or borrow a MacBook.

Nice I want to move to Fairphone, but the Fairphone 4 is not a upgrade. So I'm wanting on the Fairphone 5.

I get tired of phone's that are basically death after 3 years and are basically not user repairable.

They are delicious and free, in the Netherlands they often grow in the "wild" just bring your basket and look out for a ranger(handhaving) as it is not legal. Al lot of people do it.

As you can often can't pick them in the middle there is still enough for birds and insect's.
