  • I use docker since it’s what I learned on a decade ago, and my nas that I started from supports docker bit not podman in the ‘app store’. I have three other machines running plain Debian, but I would want everything to work together, y’know? I’ve got a set-and-forget setup and I’d rather not break things without substantial benefit…

    Plus everybody is like ‘it’s the same thing, no learning curve’ but then I start reading up on it and uhoh, learning curves :p

    I’m luckily to not currently in that sort of position anymore, but back then it was at least a week, sometimes more, that I would have to go hungry. 5 people, one person cooks, kitchen is filthy all the time (I spent a couple hours making it spotless a week or so after arrival, literally the next day it was back the way it was), so food had to be non-perishable snacks, canned, or bought from nearby restaurants. And with roughly $350 to work with after rent/utilities (but not counting cell phone, insurance, etc), stretching that for a month in those conditions meant something had to give. Around $10 a day for all expenses. We were just outside of the towns bus route too, and I couldn’t walk more than a quarter mile or so, so to get to a store to buy groceries and snacks meant calling a rideshare, which is pricey in a small town…

    I ended up having to leave and live with family, since it just wasn’t financially possible, even split 5 ways, even in a low-income development. :(

    It’s not my thing, but I’ve attended the official vore meetup at MFF twice, an unofficial meet at AC once, and a (to me) shocking number of furs are into it; including my master. Everyone I bumped into was really nice and happy to chat as I badly hid away in a corner ^_^;

    I just checked and the sub is gone, which is a shame. I used to get sent stuff from it, to… various effects. Usually confusion, followed by an explanation :p

    Omg, flashbacks. I moved to an apartment for a few months with some other furries, and of course I started getting packages delivered as I needed stuff. For some fucking reason, the driver (maybe the depot manager) for this zone would mark shit as delivered as soon as it got to the depot, instead of when it was actually delivered to me. The first time I was like ‘shit, they delivered it to the wrong place’. Couple days later, someone finds it just sitting in the hallway. Alright, wtf. Then it happens again and I got suspicious, like is someone accepting our mail maliciously? But the other people on our floor were pretty chill, so I asked the front desk, but they said they don’t accept packages, it’s supposed to be delivered to our door.

    By the fourth time, I’d got a timeframe together and it was always delivered two days after the package was scanned as delivered. The door was never knocked or rung either. This was stressful for me since I was newly disabled and slowly drowning financially, so the loss of packages while trying to get out on my own - buying a bed frame and matress, household supplies, etc - meant I was planning to skip meals (I was already at one per day as it is) and potentially use a line of credit to be able to buy them again. Which is bad when your income is static and laughably low already, and panic due to stress after a stroke isn’t a good situation…

    That delivery driver/depot manager is a fucking asshole.
