Almost a chuckle

I thought I was doing well with 8 down and 20 up! In my defence - a lot of the stuff I’m seeding is old (10+ years) and I’m the only seed.

It’s a 3 way tie between Back in Black, Led Zeppelin II and Wish You Were Here.

Oh, I know how they work - we have an ET-8550. I just didn’t realise generic ink could be so cheap. My wife sells prints of her photographs and artwork so is a bit “cautious” about her ink and only uses genuine Epson at $25 per 70ml. I just looked on Amazon and found that generic ink can be had for around $6-7 per 70ml ($40 for a 6-pack) - wow!

What ink are you getting for $12?? Even allowing for quite a bit of poetic licence, this seems ridiculously cheap.

You clearly didn’t use it for long enough - I was “stuck” with it for over 20 years. I wouldn’t say I liked it, but it was so familiar I couldn’t dislike it.

That used to be my approach, but since I got symmetric 1Gb/s fibre I’ve found that if I leave it uncapped anything I download completes in a few minutes and I don’t download anything popular so I don’t have to worry about uploading too much.

I used to think that there was hope for humanity. Now, in my late 50s, I’m realising we’re fucked.

We’ve always been fucked by the mega rich that own and control everything but, with more and more people trying to survive here every day, things are getting exponentially worse.

There is no indication at all that any of these rich fucks have any appreciation of the fact that we can’t grow indefinitely and we seem doomed to hit peak population (around the year 2100?) in Mad Max, rather than Star Trek, style.

I’m glad I won’t be here to see it, but sad that my grandchildren probably will.

Well, that wasn’t a huge investment :-) I’m in…

I understand I’ve got LOTS to learn. I think I’ll start by installing something new that I’m looking at with docker and get comfortable with something my users (family…) are not yet relying on.
