I used to make clocks with the platters and give them to friends and family. Michael’s used to sell inexpensive clock mechanisms that looked really cool against the platter background. I haven’t seen them lately, but I’m sure someone sells them online.
The older IDE drives with the 5.25" platters and smaller ones make great wind chimes. The laptop ones are a bit .ore fragile due to thinner material. Years ago, we used to do this with a few of them.
For a hobby if you’re into that kind of thing, yes, making bread at home can be fun and easy.
For cost effective, not even close. Homemade bread cost 2 - 3 times store bought if you factor in all the time, tools, equipments, electricity, and materials needed.
My wife loves baking. The upfront cost for all the equipments and tools are thousands of dollars (including a very nice oven). After that, the cost of material has never break even compared to store bought because we always use higher quality stuffs. Also bakery bought their supplies in bulk so it’s even cheaper.
I’m buying my baking stuff from a b2b shop, and pretty much in bulk
I never count time because it doesn’t make any sense, I have a lot of time, 24h in total a day
In my case home made bread is around the same price with the cheapest bread in my area. And around 3 times cheaper than the bread from the bakeries
I’m also making cheese, so I never need milk and have a ton of whey (no matter how much bread I make, i’m still mostly using the whey for watering the plants)
I don’t know what country you live in, but thousandS of $ is probably a little bit too much
Our oven costs $100, it’s small and electric, but it does it’s things flawlessly
If I would have any land I would even just build one from bricks
How does everyone feel about the “isolation” of information exchange? Specifically with systems like discord which encourage you to congregate behind a wall? Historically things like community forums were open to the public and thus indexable.
I have a strong suspicion that 90% of that shit is not being backed up. If a server gets deleted for whatever reason, all the documentation is extra gone with a side of never coming back.
No wayback machine, no wget, no open source. Add in server moderators can go rogue or get hacked at any given time. Recipe for catastrophic shitshows
Discord provides no way to backup and restore a server. There are freemium third party products and some rudimentary open source tools that do so, but yeah, it’s wild how much information about open source software (this also applies to the game development community) is just in a proprietary walled garden with a single point of failure.
