Analysis | Printer ink is a scam. Hereā€™s how to spend less.
  • I love my mono laser printer. It's an older Canon I got from a retired lawyer, so it has probably printed a million pages already for all I know. Haven't had to futz with it since I popped in a new toner cartridge that was ~$40. If I need to print color, I go to the local copy store, but that's rare anyways. Been recommending the same for all my friends and family.

    Discussion: AI Posts
  • No AI please - it just dilutes and lowers the overall quality of the community. I'd much rather a handful of genuine posts/comments from real people than a flood of hallucinations that range from being utter gibberish to making you question your own sanity.

    Hey, I just got my Pixelfed instance up and running and I was able to post from it to !pics@lemmy.world. Hurray!
  • Genuine question - what's the advantage of Pixelfed over Lemmy? Is it just more photo-oriented in some way? Or just different strokes for different folks?

    Great to see more federation though!

  • Sounds like you might just want to look into a more curated home server.

    I maintain my own lemmy server, so I get to select which communities show up in my feed and which don't, and since it's my own server, I can filter and curate my feed for myself (which so far has not been much work at all).

    I can confidently say that I haven't had any racist or other undesirable memes flooding my home page.

    linux/self host newbies, now is a good time to get you a cheap server
  • Even still, you can get a small VPS and connect a VPN between it and your LAN, using it as a gateway with a static IP.

    Gotta watch out for bandwidth limitations and data caps on small VPS like that though.

    Cold Brew Maker Recommendations
  • I'm lazy, so I literally just use a Mason jar and a steel filter. Something like this.

    It's probably not the most efficient, but it gets me my caffeine in the morning and tastes good to me!
