When I first started learning PCs and Linux, I just went to the local thrift stores and Value Village. Even today people turn in all kinds of perfectly working compute hardware, mostly just old. Consumer stuff doesn’t retain much resale value and many cannot be bothered with trying to sell it, so it ends up in the dump, at the recyclers, in thrift stores, or on classified ads like Craig’s list, kijiji and the like.

EBay usually only sees the stuff that can fetch a worthwhile dollar.

That’s fair, and people will use things different than the intention of the thing if it suits them. My point was more to highlight that you cannot group all things where buying and selling happen as “marketplaces” and expect the same protections/moderation etc.

This new tool is to replace the local ads/garage sale like equivalents with something self hosted. EBay is not one of these, regardless of how people choose to use it. As an auction site it is on a different level in both functional and legal experience. You cannot expect that from Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace Kijiji, or you local newspaper ads or garage sales.

But a classified ad site is not a marketplace, and that’s where we need to be mindful of the distinction.

EBay is an exception here, its also not a classified ads site.

EBay is an auction house. Auction houses have stricter rules.

Classified ads is you grandma posting her VCR for sale, or selling your used boat locally. Its a parallel to a newspaper classified section. There has never been any control on sites like this other than “buyer beware”. Craigslist, Kijiji and Facebunk Marketplace are all classified ad equivalents and have zero guarantee or protections usually.

Given these are meant to be local ads, the onus is on the buyer to go to the sellers house and verify what they are buying.

Every single word movie just becomes dick.

If Kung Pow: Enter the Dick isn’t a porno already then the industry has lost it’s edge.

I’m running Kube on baremetal.

Yeah, endeavouros repos just include their installers and setup tools. The OS uses arch repos.

Zimaboard.

30 years of using Linux and I think this chart is whack. RPM based distros run by enterpises are the worst. I was happier with Slackware than Fedora. 🤣 I only use those when work forces me too and after the CentOS and SLES fiascos - F that noise. I’ll only recommend debian for work servers unless there are STIG/FedRAMP security requirements and then it’s begrudgingly over to Ubuntu.

When work isn’t in the way: EndeavourOS on my desktop, Debian on my servers, and debian/alpine for my containers or better yet; golang and scratch.

My guess is there may also be an H, for Light, Regular and Heavy flow. Besides size its what they are usually designed for.

Nextcloud Cooking app

This. Its a bit slow but the auto import is a life save and the app is really nice with the ability to easily scale the portions or keep the screen awake.

Taxes. Because I have a brain and understand how a civil, functioning society, works.

Such painfully obvious AI. Hot water lines from your municipality… yikes. The amount of heat and energy loss for piping hot water, not to mention the excess heat abnormally warming soil temps… wtf.

Huh… FileFlows does a lot more than video and music though… interesting.

Eh there are a couple of things I dislike, though the UI is very nice looking and there are lots of features. Closed source, no lifetime option and tiered subs… that all puts me off a tool pretty quickly these days. I’ve lost the ability to trust anything that does not have open code due to the never ending and constant corporate enshittification and underhanded tracking.
