I’ve been following this for some time and am excited to see it’s progressing well

Use alternative ways of streaming content such as Kodi or Stremio with a debrid service that costs $17/6mo

Be prepared for your router to not work until you figure out how to set stuff up. So hopefully this isn’t your only router. I converted a router to OpenWRT and my knowledge of networking was super basic. It was very confusing but I did get it working in a few days. However, I couldn’t get some things working like a VPN or updating without wiping all my settings. OpenWRT is router firmware, not NAS software. You’ll need to run something like CasaOS, OpenMediaVault, TrueNAS, etc for that.

This website is a great starting point for router configurations: https://routersecurity.org/#StartHere

I weight lift too and at my peak and any other time I never counted calories. I ate intuitively and foods from healthy sources. I understand everyone’s body metabolizes differently but I see, especially in the fitness world, people harming their minds by focusing too much on calories.

Counting calories is an unhealthy mental obsession. Please just stay active and eat healthy foods from a quality source not packed with crap ingredients. I’ve seen many people go down that path and it ends up doing a lot of harm to them mentally

I’ve always enjoyed Firered and Sapphire and recently found Polished Crystal which is fantastic

What would you be referring to?

You’re welcome. I’ve been helping my dad move to Linux. He has been using outlook for years and wanted a way to import the emails. So I did some digging and found that Evolution is the only client (as far as I’m aware) that can import some of the outlook email formats.

Get rid of Adobe with OnlyOffice or Okular for PDF and Darktable, DigiKam, and PhotoGIMP for Lightroom and Photoshop. Evolution email provides a decent way of importing some of Microsoft Outlook’s email formats. OnlyOffice will also replace Microsoft 365

I didn’t know there was a number two. I’ll be playing that at some point. Thanks

Too bad Mumble went out of fashion

Good to know

I only use it online for the occasional (like maybe twice a year) time some open-source or super custom project uses it like Not From Concentrate’s SFF PC case community
