What does fixing the system look like though? Far too many people seem to just want to consume unsustainably and would do so even more if they could.
How much does someone need?
Yes, some at the bottom really should have more. But there are many in the middle who should consume less and will justify it by comparing to those at the top who are even worse.
UK, depends who you talk to. Russian bots would have you believe everything is falling apart. London is also really expensive.
I live on the south coast, even on minimum wage I have never struggled. As long as you can find stable employment you will have enough money to be comfortable. Honestly, I don’t even know what to spend my money on.
Approx monthly bills, 900 mortgage (fuck you Liz truss), 175 council tax, 80 electricity, 120 food, 22 internet. Water is on a 6 month cycle and costs some mid 2 figure number each time so that is barely anything.
So about 1300/month. That is for 2 of us, £650/month each, or £7800/year. Minimum wage is about £25k.
4 day work week. Entire day savings.
I get my exercise by cycling to work, sun or storm I have to get to work. So I’ll be cycling 80km a week. That is before any extras like going to the shops or anything else.
Gyms have loads of them in the UK too though so it isn’t just being a shithole. Trivially easy to walkor cycle along coastal paths here.
I know people who spend several times more on exercise bikes than I spend on real bikes.
Used mssql-server at work where we usually use windows and its a bit shit if you want low memory hosting. Though when I have run MySQL I haven’t tested low resource systems to compare that either tbh.
I meant physical stock rather than stock market. If you could sell a graphics card today for £1k but it looks like if you wait it will be worth less then you will want to try and sell it before it drops.
Plus over time newer hardware comes out which is faster and then your existing stock becomes worth less due to having to compete with the new stuff. You bought all this stock and you want to make a profit or keep losses down.
Can’t you run Apache on pretty old hardware? I thought it was something you could happily run on even some of the older versions of raspberry pi. Probably depends on what you are hosting on it of course.
Not a bad idea, but as I mostly like making my own so my collection currently is about 15 bottles of plum mead, couple apple mead and a couple of cider.
What about when they know their stock is losing value
Kinda want a low lower draw device to use as a server, ideally proxmox and just backup the whole VM image once its setup. But not sure how much I would really use. Very basic Apache/php, pihole, not sure if there is too much else.
Maybe factorio servers if I get into clusterIO stuff again.
Not the same day sure, but I’d the market crashes then its reasonable to expect it to drop at some point.
Not waiting to build and I still want it to die
Some repair guys do too and I find it really annoying when they are secretive over things.
When I worked in a repair shop if a customer asked I would let them know exactly what I’m doing.
I don’t like having too many open bottles at once. Shame distilling even just for personal consumption is illegal here as I would love to make some of my own spirits to go with my mead. Easier storage for spirits too tbh.
It will be worth its weight in gold or in steel, depends how the markets go.
The same ones they have always ignored?
At markets I often see stalls selling what is obviously just printed or laser cut in bulk for things like chopping boards and coasters.
Happy little accidents make it look like it was made by someone rather than something.
Those food prices sound interesting. In the UK its the reverse. Farmers markets cost a fortune but Aldi costs fuck all.
We are not being overly frugal with food and it still usually costs under £30/week for 2 of us. If we wanted to be frugal I would probably cut out the meat and cheese to replace with grains which would half our spending.
