It’s genuinely disturbing how many men I’ve seen not wash their hands.

Congratulations!

I don’t think that the stereotype that Taco Bell gives you diarrhea is related to the fact that it’s high in fibre (which should not give you diarrhea), or racism.

Nor was it directed by Tim Burton.

Oh okay, so it’s not just my dentist.

And it has nothing to do with Boston. Nor was New York Fries have anything to do with New York.

Why is that funny or surprising? Boston is not known for its deep dish; that is Chicago.

Everything is a required tool for any Windows computer I interact with.

That’s not quite the same as what I said but okay.

Right, I agree that monopolies and consolidation are bad, I suppose that’s just not the emphasis I read in the OP.

I don’t disagree that consolidation is bad for consumers.

Well they’re not giving the chocolate to dogs.

I mean, I’m not trying to argue the dystopian part, though I do wonder why this specifically is what makes you think it is dystopian.

Mars has been making pet foods for over thirty years. Branching into pet care isn’t a huge stretch.

And like… I like both chocolate candies and pets. If I started a company that made both chocolates and cared for pets, why is that aspect dystopian?

I’m no scientist but would the sand insulate at all?

Cats can do the same thing though. I have seen it first hand.

I’ve been considering Donetick for this same purpose.

Been a while now, so some of these comparison points might not be accurate. But iirc, it came down to doku ultimately being easier to maintain (in my opinion), easily expandable with themes and modules, and a local file system that was extremely easy to understand (no database, pages are text files).

I tried wikijs but personally preferred dokuwiki.

Docmost?

I had a two bay Synology device for many years before I upgraded to a home lab. I liked it quite a bit as a beginner. The interface was easy to use, dead simple to set up the basics, and it had some advanced capability for those curious.

I’d strongly recommend a “plus” model. They are usually only slightly more expensive than their non-plus counterpart for a fairly significant upgrade.
