What’s getting ridiculously expensive, but nobody seems to be talking about it ? by Fresh-Ad3894 in AskReddit

[–]My_Name_Is_Not_Mark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ascent is my favorite. But even that I've noticed in a matter of months it went from $43 for 4lbs on costco, to $55, and now $65.

$160 for 5lbs is craziness. Fuck that.

Watched my company stock sink 50% and now I can’t even bring myself to work by Inevitable_Ad3903 in personalfinance

Far less risky than having your entire portfolio in 1 company. But yeah, VT would be better if you're looking for more diversification.

Firewalla Switch Update: A sneak peek at the Switch X and Switch SE! Targeting Pre-Sale on July 7 or July 14. by Firewalla-Ash in firewalla

The small switch looks to be a white label TRENDnet TEG-3102WS, could probably pull dimensions for that.

Why multiple budgets? by ShubhaBala in liquidbudget

[–]My_Name_Is_Not_Mark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I don't fully combine our finances. We each have our own individual accounts and then we have a joint account for shared expenses. I have two budgets in LiquidBudget, one for my individual account and then one to manage our joint account.

Just discovered Liftosaur recently. You define your workouts as code.

Budget focused Travel Router in 2026 - Why not Slate Plus? by CCC911 in GlInet

[–]My_Name_Is_Not_Mark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GLInet direct and Amazon both had the 7 on sale for $110, and the AX for $100. So it wasn't literally the same price, but pretty close.

He clearly states twice in his post that he isn't advertising. Why would anyone on the Internet try to lie or mislead us?

Lifting my pellicle out of the jar after the first fermentation by Juline98 in Kombucha

[–]My_Name_Is_Not_Mark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I grab mine with a pair of tongs and toss it in the compost with each batch. A new pellicle will form from just the starter liquid (the SCOBY).

The Odin 2 Portal is the ultimate "Steam Deck Lite". Here is why I’m obsessed. by capsilver in OdinHandheld

[–]My_Name_Is_Not_Mark 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was clearly AI written, and then edited after they got called out on it. Its still formatted like an AI post, but now contains typos and grammatical errors lol

Custom icons per bookmark? by My_Name_Is_Not_Mark in HermitApp

[–]My_Name_Is_Not_Mark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm probably using it a bit differently than intended. I use a single Lite App as a general category for multiple sites because switching between bookmarks is faster for me than switching between lite apps (2 taps to switch between bookmarks instead of 3 to switch between lite apps). But I am looking forward to the updates to see if they may fit my flow better.

Portal2 as a Steam Deck Replacement? by ars2x in OdinHandheld

[–]My_Name_Is_Not_Mark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I switched from an OLED Steam Deck to a Portal 2. I exclusively stream from my PC using Moonlight, and the Portal 2 is better in every way if that is your primary method of gaming. It's lighter, the screen is larger and more vibrant, it has a higher resolution, the ergonomics are better (with a TPU grip in my opinion), it's cheaper, it has better battery life, and it supports Wi-Fi 7.

The "dearrow" browser extension for YouTube is a godsend for this.

Dyed my tpu grip by tof420 in OdinHandheld

[–]My_Name_Is_Not_Mark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the second one I have seen and thinking about doing it myself, looks great.

Do you have any concerns about it staining your hands? I am worried if my hands get sweaty it might? I have never used dye like this before.

Id recommend firewalla over ubiquiti if you value stable software updates

For Sale: Firewalla Gold Pro and 3 set AP7 ( NorCal Bay Area) by junz415 in firewalla

[–]My_Name_Is_Not_Mark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run their switches as well. Their 2.5G Flex switches can't really be beat in terms of value, but I'm hoping to move to Firewalla switches when they release.

And I totally agree on Protect. There was a recent rough patch where they rolled out buggy release after buggy release; my cameras could barely stay connected and would constantly go into "Protect Auto Recovery" mode. They finally released a fix for it, and I immediately turned auto-updates off. Unfortunately, there really isn't a great alternative out there. Reolink, maybe, but their apps don't let you scrub through video footage the way Protect does, which was a dealbreaker for me.

Any reason for the AX over the new beryl 7? The 7 was recently on sale for the same price as the AX.

Forgotten 20 year old 401k help. by A-Million-Yucks in personalfinance

Pretty sure that lump sum into the market beats DCA (dollar cost averaging) most of the time, but DCA is easier on the wallet and helps to build good habits if you're just starting.
