This community was just a few km down the road from my elementary school. Across from my post office, back when people still used post offices.

So, I walk into the laundry room and my stepsister had her head stuck in the dryer, and then I tripped, and while I was fal… (Obvious /s)

Idk that sounds kind on brand

I think it’s real, they’re both bluffing and at the same time calling each other’s bluffs.

There is an ASCII character for a bell sound, so presumably at one point in time this could be done.

Good one. I see what you did there 🤣

I’m still specing it out. I was gonna get some dedicated hardware but I think I’ll just use my old gaming PC and buy a new one lol.

Planning to use Home Assistant and their support for local ollama.

There are lots of reasons to want alternatives to social media mega-corps, and the people with those reasons have varied likes and hobbies.
Even amongst the people who care about privacy, decentralization, etc, people still have varied interests. All you have to do is look at the popularity of Tiktok content about privacy, security, programming, etc.
