20 year old HP LaserJet

A couple of crazy tattoos. Santa Sangre, and Water Boy. You can figure the rest out.

Quake II consumed about a decade of my life. Alright, 15+ years.

I buy items from AliExpress all the time. Mostly electronics, but occasionally things like tessa tape, vehicle covers, motorcycle parts, and other random shit. Never had an issue.

Beerfest, back to the future 1+2, the big lebowski are some of my repeat picks.

It’s a sad reality for some, count your blessings.

“Friends and Family fuck you first”. Sounds like a pretty shitty quote, but it proves to be true as you get older.

McDonald’s and burger king, in that order

Same here, that scene terrified me as a kid. Worse for me was the movie The Day After.

Hello from atheos at lemmy.atheos.org

I setup my own instance so that I could have some control over my alias, and pretty much because I can.

You can go a long way with free cloud offerings from both Amazon and Oracle and setup a decent sized instance. I set mine up at a data-center where I manage unrelated services, but I take full advantage of Amazon & Oracle for side projects. DigitalOcean would be another low cost option, as you can run a small lemmy instance on a pretty modest droplet. You’ll get the most horsepower from Oracle always free if you can manage to find one of their regions with available resources. (it can be a challenge)
