  • Best thing I’ve done for it is to use a single blade (safety razor) and shave exclusively in the shower. The steam opens your pours and helps reduce irritation.

    Also, shaving “with” the grain. Which is easier said then done since it kinda goes every direction.

    But the biggest difference has been shaving in the shower. My skin goes crazy otherwise.

    I have a full beard so I avoid shaving most of it. I’m so hairy that I have to shave most of my neck and my upper cheeks though otherwise I’d look like a Yeti. Seriously, some hairs are nearly to my eyes.

    My genes are apparently just pure European (almost a flat mix from Ireland to Ukraine). But my hair is extremely curly even on my head. My friends use to say I had a “jew-fro” but I’m not Jewish from what a DNA test said.



  • Yeah. The expensive hardware raid setups are just too much money and too much work. I like the dual parity and variable drive size unRAID uses. Don’t have to worry about drive size differences.

    You don’t get increased write speeds like some raid setups would have. But a cache drive and a scheduled mover make it even faster. I setup a 10G direct connection from my NAS to my main computer and it’s awesome for video editing.

    I could see why you’d use a hardware raid if you have like 20 users or something all writing video. But I’m never going to fill a 2TB cache drive in a single day before it can move them to the array while I sleep.


  • Personal local NAS (Network attached storage).

    Or install Tailscale on your home computer if it’s always on.

    I’m a Linux nerd but I use Tailscale just because of how incredibly easy, secure, and reliable it is. And it’s free obviously.

    Can access your files anywhere from basically any device. It essentially just lets you have access securely to any of your devices as if they were sitting on the same home network.

    I got rid of cloud storage and just run a NAS with unRAID (paid but not a subscription. But worth every penny imo) There are alternatives that are free though.












  • Unpopular opinion. But we’d be here if Trump was never elected. The US has wanted reason to invade Iran for decades. Trump definitely does damage to America’s image. But, as far the the third world’s image of America, no one did more damage than Biden did with his Genocide of Gaza.

    The main point being. US imperialism is not directed by the president alone. It is directed by Americas defense industry and military industrial complex. I think the main difference between Trump or a Biden/Harris would be the aesthetics. And maybe going through the steps of Congress. But this war is what Imperialism is demanding.
