I live in a campervan with my dog Muffin. 95% solar / 5% alternator.

Tangentially-related, perhaps: I’m a member of a subreddit that went from ~20,000 to over 2 million while I’ve been there. The increased quantity was fine, but the quality of postings cratered.
It had been a forum for people who did a particular thing, then suddenly 95% of the posters were dreamers/tirekickers who saw influencer YT/Insta content and came in to ask the same spoonfeedy questions over and over. Five minutes reading the sub would answer the FAQs, but no.
In order to keep my blood pressure under control I focus on specific technical areas and reply only to those that seem to be able/willing to understand.
Understand what you really want, then move toward it.
If you are or were a student in Australia, Mexico, southern USA, Spain, Portugal, Greece, South Africa, or any other hot parts of the world, how do/did you stay cool during the day?
I live offgrid in a campervan in the desert US. I maintain temps by snowbirding (changing elevation and latitude to follow mild wx).
I have shadecloth and an evaporative cooler when things get a little intense. Temp-controlled roof vent.
Dog person. I’ve met a few cats I liked, but in general if I wanted to live with a creature that consumed resources and ignored me I’d still be married. :-P
what do people have against chromium?
Dunno about others, but I run older hardware and Chrom* was a resource piglet for me.
Vanilla firefox-esr from the Debian repo + TOR browser when required. I’ve flirted with others but keep coming back to FF.
the grilled cheese sandwich ease/pleasure ratio is hard to beat.
Doom, then Halo on xbox, now Minecraft on PC
DuckDuckGo, with fallback to google for stuff DDG can’t find.
For some reason I just remembered Altavista.
Reddit is Dead, long live… leddi- lemmy?
Earlier this year I s/twitter/mastodon/ to good effect. I don’t think s/reddit/lemmy/ will happen anytime soon; the numbers are too small for any real network effect.
For example, the subreddit I spend the most time in has >2million readers. There are enough posts daily that my niche interests come up regularly and I contribute to those discussions.
I composed that comment in another thread, tabbed away, and when I tabbed back the pending comment was pasted into this thread that I wasn’t even reading. Hit POST before I noticed it. 2nd time that’s happened this morning.
