Mullvad is the gold standard

Late twenties as well. Unfortunately, my machine hasn’t made a difference for me yet, which has been pretty difficult. Hopefully a solution is in my future

Everyone else has good suggestions, but for me, it turned out to be sleep apnea. See if you can talk to a sleep doctor.

Check out rtings, they do really in depth reviews for headphones: https://www.rtings.com/headphones. Soundguys is also a good resource

For the weak like myself, carbon steel is also a great option!

The issue of dynamic IP addresses is solved using a service like DuckDNS. Space Invader has some tutorials on it: https://youtu.be/CS72kN2c6hU

Great post, thanks for the effort!

For my fellow mint haters (we exist!), I’ve found hello toothpaste and Oxyfresh gentle to be a great combo.

Here you go: Mistifi Oliver Oil Sprayer for cooking, Spray bottle 6oz, Non-Aerosol Refillable Dispenser Oil Mister FS601 Green Vegetable https://www.amazon.com/Mistifi-grilling-displenser-Non-Aerosol-vegetable/dp/B088D23YJQ

Great topic idea! Here are some of mine, I’ll add links later:

• Heat resistant cooking gloves. These are basically oven mitts, but because they’re gloves, you can keep them on while cooking. I’ve gifted a few pairs of these and everyone loves them!
• A percussion massager is great for getting out muscle knots. Foam rollers too.
• Collapsible creates for the car and around the house - mine are made by InstaCrate
• A refillable oil sprayer so that you can buy any oil you want and evenly coat a pan. Great for searing and air frying
• Stainless steel pots are amazing. IKEA sells a set that’s around $50. Totally dishwasher safe, heat tolerant, just all around easy peasy
• Costco membership

How do you vacuum seal things with liquids? Mine says absolutely no liquids, like if it gets a single drop of moisture on it, the company will come shoot me

Definitely recommend Kiziks for this!

Shout-out to Kiziks. Never tying my shoes again

Same here. I vote on almost every post I see, even if I’m not interested, based on if I think it’s a good fit for the community. On Reddit I just upvoted things I liked

I’m just mentioning a solution that is actually available, where unassholing everyone isn’t.

Beautifully put. So often there are simple solutions to these problems.

Bazarr is an app for finding and managing subtitles that syncs with Radarr and Sonarr. It might work with Plex but I’m not positive

I’ve been using a Quadro P600 for encoding without issue. It seems to be able to handle everything I throw at it, though I never do any crazy multi-streams. I got it for about $80.

Edit: I was too excited to reply. I have no idea if it’s good for driving a normal desktop VM. Sorry if this isn’t helpful!

It was my understanding that Synology products came with the rest of the computer parts as well. Is that true?
