Dutch relatives. He was serious. My grandpa used to damage soup cans in the grocery store, then demand a discount on them.

This! I also have an old GPU in it, passed through to whichever VM I want to game on! Total pain to set up, but then also a pain to use! I forget why I did it…

94$ USD, and no mention of how much is in a bottle… Sus.

I have Nextcloud, and it was running as a snap in a laptop, then a desktop, then a VM. It’s 12 years old now, no loss of files, about 2 TB stored.

Moving it from a snap to an AiO install is always, like, the fourth thing on my to-do list. The snap always decides to update at the least convenient times and takes hours!

Still, 12 years… Says something.

Calgary Shawarma. I don’t know his name, but my grandfather was sick and I was stuck at work (working on a phone line repair at the auto shop next door.) Dead of winter, miserable cold. Then my mom calls: Grandpa died. Shawarma guy overheard this, I’m sitting in my van crying. Knock on my window. Guy hands me a Shawarma. “Boss, you should come in to my shop, have some food, get warm. No charge.” He sat and listened to my grandpa stories until I had it together and could go back to finish my job.

Seriously, total stranger, and he was there for me on one of my worst days, and I’ll never forget.
