Satsumas look really cool. I love mandarin oranges. Any specific suppliers you recommend?

Thank you for this awesome resource! Though I don’t live in that area, it certainly is useful. Oh, and I did add my hardiness zone. Don’t know how I missed that

Some very interesting picks! I actually have quite a bit of Chaya outside, but I haven’t sampled it yet. It was here long before I got here. There was also a sour orange tree, but it succumbed to a whole host of issues that I couldn’t even begin to identify. The flowers smell divine though. I notice that you have several plants from the ginger family on your list. Any tips for growing them? I’ve been failing rather hilariously with any attempts just working with the usual stuff from the grocery store.

I’ve been eying some figs for awhile. I have a very small citrus seedling. Don’t even remember what fruit it came from (probably a lemon), though it’s very fragrant

If you don’t mind his particular style, the SsethTzeentach video is what convinced me to give it a fair shake. The in-game tutorial and tooltips are pretty good though, and will get you started. Overtime you’ll discover more and more systems. Oh and just so you know, the demo is the full game, but a version behind.

Have to throw CK3 out as my personal favorite grand strategy game (though EU4 and the like are other options). There’s nigh infinite content in weaving the story of your family and realm, and mods add a whole new layer to it.

Tossing Song of Syx onto the pile of games. Even if you don’t care for the art style, the game is immensely deep, and quite frankly, addictive.

Definitely was my first thought. I think that I’ve spent way more time on that game than I’d like to admit.

It wasn’t that hard for me to flash a Chromebook with Linux using this guide

I was just looking at Monarda didyma on Wikipedia and here it pops up on Lemmy. How you support your local ecosystem is inspiring

I mean how could you say no to a doggo like that

Thanks. I don’t know why I didn’t mention the exact small sample size

I mean I guess. They aren’t actively fighting or anything like that to my knowledge. I personally think the Privacy Guides is the better resource, because PrivacyTools has vpn recommendations like Nord and Surfshark with affiliate links that are not actively disclosed from my quick check.

Try Brave Search, Duckduckgo, Startpage, or Searxng. For more detail on these recommendation (that I definitely did not just steal), check out the Privacy Guides page, or The New Oil for a different, albeit overlapping, set of recommendations and take on search engines.

Besides the obvious Minecraft recommendation, maybe Terraria, Satisfactory, and if you’re willing to allow it, something like Smite would be another good option for him to play with his friends.

Seems interesting as a supplemental source of energy though.

This was in a VM, but I was running Ubuntu LTS to mess around with Nextcloud, maybe even save some data to it. I also installed Pihole and ran into an issue, so I uninstalled it. Apparently, when you uninstall Pihole, it also gives you the option to uninstall important system packages like ipconfig. Borked my install. I was freaking pissed.

Chocolatey isn’t bad, but winget has replaced it for me

Well there’s always MAS…
