Sentience + reading lemmy.ml would do it

Will any of them win?

Nobody today is selling a 9 year old car for $900 or the inflation equivalent unless it was turned into a cube at the scrap yard.

That's a bit under $1800 by today's rates and a 30 second search turned this up: https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/ctd/d/indianapolis-2006-ford-f150/7709051628.html

Cars are on average more expensive today, new or used. Gas is more expensive, and it's likely more expensive to insure a young driver, which has always been expensive.

Put in the effort and you can find a good deal. I've done it before and I'll do it again. Buying a new car is a scam, found that one out myself too. I also pay for the same gas and insurance so that's moot

If they choose "don't drive" over "pour much of what little money I have into propping up a falling apart beater," that's still a choice. Why rag on them for it?

Not ragging on the choice, I'm ragging on the rationale. "EverYtHinG iS sO 'sPensive" is just "I don't want to be seen driving/living in/wearing that" in disguise. There are cheaper choices or ones that are more effort, but they are there.

I do get that prices are way out of control but I just saw a sign at McDonald's for a starting wage of $15/hr. When I worked there, I made $4.25/hr which would be about $9/hr today. I bought my car to start working there so this shit is not impossible today.

Bring the downvotes z'ers, the truth hurts

This is more of a general response to all the "YeaH, cHooSe..." comments

"Worse" or "the worst"... unless you were going for sausage 🤷

It takes a little experimentation to get it right, but you can find out which urls are involved with your game's ads and whitelist them

Last time I tried that was... problematic. I suppose I could try again...

I'm kinda just getting started. The goal is to have a media server in addition to my current raspberry pi server that will act as a second dns. If I can't find a way to keep them synced, I'll give adguard a try

I only have one dns field. Apparently, there's a fork of asus software that provides 2 so my suspicion is that the router is automatically supplying its own IP as dns2

[–] shiftymccool@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

OK, this seems to be the issue. I have this section but only one field for DNS.

[–] shiftymccool@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago (10 children)

I have my router as DHCP and I also have the DNS set to the pi-hole which I'm assuming is how the devices are getting it. I'm just not sure why it's getting my router IP as well.

[–] shiftymccool@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago (4 children)

The router is running DHCP and is set to hand out the Pi-hole IP as DNS. Interestingly, there's only one field for this so maybe the router is choosing itself as DNS2? If I go into WAN settings, there are fields for DNS1 & 2 but if I was under the impression that these should be set for upstream DNS.
