Whats the least fun fact you know?
70% of the worlds surface is covered in water. None of that water is fizzy. Therefore the earth is technically flat…
I’ll be my coat, no need to send the pitchforks.

What psychopath architects are still designing bathrooms that you have to pull the door open in order to leave?
I’m not an expert (at all), but I presume that opening a door into a thoroughfare risks hitting someone with the door but opening into a room only risks a person ready to leave (and approaching the door head on?)
Just thoughts…

Recomend a Mini PC to host home assistant on
I grabbed a cheap Dell Wyze from eBay, then stuck proxmox on it, then Home Assistant in a VM. Works beautifully, plus I can run other VMs and containers. Plus snapshots etc. It runs at 5w idle and 15w under load.

I wholeheartedly agree with your statement. But I believe in small steps. I haven’t been on Reddit since the API announcement on /r/Apollo. I won’t be back, I absolutely love the idea of a platform that isn’t owned by someone - in the same way I love an open source project.

What are your favorite social minority characters in any form of fictional entertainment media, or how should a minority be written better?
For me probably Terry Pratchett’s dwarves. Or TBH quite a lot of his characters…

What habits do you have to protect your privacy?
Password manager, 2FA where available (these for security more than privacy). Firefox with ublock, noscript and privacy badger for browsing. PiHole for DNS using standard block lists to remove adverts and trackers.

What are your tried and true remedies for itchy bug bites?
I’ve got a little ‘bug-pen’ which heats up a small metal disk for about 6 seconds which you hold onto the bite. Works really well.

I’m a big fan of RoyalTS for managing my RDP / SSH access to servers. Keepass for password storage.
