What is an item below 100 bucks that everyone should own?
A good quality fire extinguisher, multiple if you live in a large house or apartment.
To that note, a good quality, working carbon monoxide detector should be on the list...

Were this the ‘good ole times’ they always talk about?
There is plenty of propaganda on lemmy. You just have to realize you will always be fed propaganda and understand there is propaganda on each side of every issue...

*Permanently Deleted*
I used to dabble in coding. Never done it professionally. To be a full time developer would probably kill me, I remember constantly thinking of how to build this or that function, or how to do a certain thing, or why something keeps failing. I'd constantly be thinking these things, in the shower, while brushing my teeth, while driving, it was making me insane. Don't think I could do it professionally.

Remember you can join any instance and still talk to everyone
Switched to lemm.ee because lemmy.world is down like every other day, for multiple hours at a time. Been better so far.

More Than 80 Percent Of Americans Can’t Afford New Cars
I see so many people driving brand new vehicles, new jeep trucks and grand wagoneers. These vehicles start at like 60k and go up to like 100k. Yeah people can't afford them, but they're still buying them. They're thinking it's a tomorrow problem.

What types of services are you not willing to self-host?
Reply in thread
Well with bitwarden/vaultwarden you can have a copy of your entire vault on your phone or computer or both... so even if your server was totally dead, you'd have access to your passwords. Solid backups is a must, I follow the 3-2-1 rule on super critical systems (like vaultwarden) and test that you can actually recover. Something as simple as spinning up a VPS, testing a restore, testing access, see if that could work in a pinch until you get your server back online, then tear it down. Linode is very cheap for this kind of testing, it'd only cost you a few pennies to run a "dr" test of your critical systems. Of course you still want to secure it, I'd recommend wireguard or tailscale instead of opening access to your DR node to the internet, but as a temporary test it's probably fine if your running patched up to date versions of docker, vaultwarden, and I'd always recommend putting a reverse proxy in front like nginx.

UFC star made more in 24 hours on OnlyFans than she did 'in her entire fighting career'
OK but she wouldn't be as popular and wouldn't have made that much on OF if it weren't for her time in the UFC. I mean she's hot yea, but she's famous because of her mma career.

Trump Offers Californians a Solution For Wildfires: ‘Dampen Your Forests’
I suppose we should stop hurricanes by drying up the ocean.. just install a drain, really horrible ocean management.
Or stop earthquakes by putting rubber feet under cities, very poor city design....

Don't know about beehaw but lemmy.world was really getting on my nerves with how slow it was and how often it was down. Lemm.ee has been a much better experience for me.

In the US, what happens if you sustain a life threatening injury and you don't have insurance?
Reply in thread
But what happens if someone has a savings and happens to have say $50k in there and then they're hit with a health issue that incurs a $25k hospital bill? Can they then come after you for payment if you have the money in savings?

‘Don’t get sick. It’s too expensive’: medical debt is putting more Americans in financial crisis
Reply in thread
$500 is nothing. My son fell and hit his head and had a small seizure from the fall.. took him to the ER, ct scan, medical exam, anti nausea medication, costed $750 out if pocket AFTER insurance. It was like a $3k medical bill before insurance. For like 2 hours at the ER and a scan... it's ridiculous.

After 1.5 years of learning selfhosting, this is where I'm at
Reply in thread
With containers, most will have a persistent volume that is mapped to the host filesystem. This is where your config data is. When you update a container, just the image is updated(pihole binaries) but it leaves the config files there. Things like your block lists and custom dns settings, theme settings, all of that will remain.

Check out overseerr. You can search for movies or tv shows from there and it will request to radarr and sonarr for you. But what's nice is it shows you all the popular shows, gives your recommendations, you can search by streaming service if you want.

Car Prices Might Be Unsustainable for Buyers
I agree but you could easily fool me with the amount of brand new trucks and suvs I see driving around. Prices will not go down if everyone keeps paying them. And then there are people that can't afford to buy groceries but they have their brand new jeep wagoneer that cost like $80k... that just further drives up prices because you have people that can't afford it still paying the premium, still driving the demand, so the dealers can get away with charging whatever they want.

What are your must-have selfhosted services?
Reply in thread
Can't speak for OP but I can say that I switched to proxmox from just running docker and services native. Proxmox offers a lot of flexibility, you can do snapshots, build many different LXC containers very easily, to keep things separate or have better control over resource usage. Also I run mine in a 3 node cluster so I can do live migration of VMs and pretty quick migrations of LXC containers. This all allows me to run my services with little to no downtime and have redundancy.
