I too would prefer he go to Russia than come here.

I wouldn’t say most but it is a reality of most podcasts these days that they’ll shout out donors. I kind of like the goofy sound effects personally and the rest of the podcast is chill and perfect for background listening. Of course everyone has their own preferences. I find LUP interesting enough for my level of Linux (enthusiastic amateur).

Their Zesty Orange flavour is very refreshing if you don’t mind the lack of fluoride.

Sensodyne is owned by Haleon, a British company. I’m still also looking for a good Canadian toothpaste…

It is legal but the interest on the loan is not tax-deductible, unlike other investment loans you might take out.

Yeah, there might be some slight gain to be made especially now with interest rates falling again. But my feeling is OP is young and probably would benefit more from building up an emergency fund if they’re feeling a bit cash poor.

It all depends on how cheap it is for you to borrow. My feeling is you’re unlikely to make more investing in bonds and “safe” ETFs than you’d pay in interest. In other words, you’d be paying more in interest than you’d be making in gains from your investment.

Absolutely you should go for it. I’ve redone my set up multiple times over the years on the same hardware. Sometimes on purpose, sometimes because I accidentally nuked it, and sometimes because I wanted to get rid of cruft.

There was a time when I didn’t even know what Docker was and just relied on Portainer, for example. Or mergerfs instead of ZFS. Yeah, you end up redoing a lot of grunt work but that’s how you learn.

Coloured punch cards? I have no idea either.

Grew up in the 16-bit generation and loved it but every time I fire up a retro emulator I can’t get past the graphics. Some things are just better off as memories.

Looks amazing. I just purchased one based on your recommendation
