My dude, for the love of Christ, do something about those cables

A gallium coin!

I watched some random small travel channels, and videos titled like “Why Vanlife sucks”, which apparently has become its own genre by now. I can’t find any really good ones anymore right now, though :( maybe this topic needs a community! I will post any videos I do find here, though.

Okay so I tried and I got a hard reality check, man. I watch way too much YouTube. Even when searching for key words I’m drowning in content or not finding anything. This is destabilizing.

For me it’s a mixture of schadenfreude, having people receive their comeuppance (as another here said) and also sympathy. I have had some bad travel experiences, and just sort of go “Oooh boy, that’s bad, come on, you got this! … but you also deserved this!”, as I might have deserved some of mine.

You have won my heart with “minor animal attacks on hikers”. Hello, friend!

When you watch it with an account, yes - and even then, I’m afraid to venture down into those depths 😬 I might try for you guys 😬

I’m trying to find some of the old videos that I watched, but it’s really hard! I guess that kind of content disappears quickly beneath the thousands of similar videos.

One of my favorites back then was a dude on his expensive BMW motorcycle traveling India, and in the chaotic traffic there he had a small crash and it bent his fork, and he also got a hairline fracture on his ankle, I believe.

So, the x-ray machines in the hospital was too bad to image that fracture. So that went untreated and caused him a looot of discomfort. Also, almost nobody in India rides such expensive BMW bikes, so it took him aaages and crazy amounts of money to get a spare part for that bike shipped from Germany, and to find a tech that could install it. It was excellent suffering born from luxury. Can recommend.

Yes, that might have been an early start into the genre for me! I fiercely love Karl Pilkington 🥲

But that is exactly what he recommends, using a password manager - with one time email authentication for the first login as an extra step, right?

I’d be interested in a discussion of his points here :) those sound like valid points he’s making

You’re not helping, but I sympathize (that AAF flashback is what got me unto this trail - and I got to AAF through this new Bam Margera doc that dropped on YouTube two weeks ago, maybe that will give you even more flashbacks)

Lemmy keeps amazing me with the answers that come up. Many thanks, that is great!

I wish we were!

But it doesn’t focus new tabs you opened automatically. You can configure it to do so. But I’m so lazy I want things to work the way I want them to out of the box.

I actually have very similar hardware lying around and am planning to build it into a Linux gaming machine. Could happen in the next few days. I could drop you a message if I run into issues.

“I like to f*ck” by Tila Tequila.

Essentially the same lyrics, even.

Thank you guys a lot for your thoughts! I will create a new account and pay for a Game Pass subscription, I think I should get it discounted for the first month. If the guys at the home really like it, I will try to find a permanent solution with their admin people.

What about those apps using out of date libraries? Wouldn’t that become a security issue - since containers usually aren’t that secure, right? And all app developers would have to update their container libraries separately, instead of just updating the system libraries?

Yes, I’ve thought about the issue as well. I’ve thought about offering to maintain that single PC myself. A console could be a good idea, though! Not sure about accessibility/variety of input methods (and variety of games, I thought Steam could be best)
