I like thrift stores, technology, outer space, wine, and spicy food. Eurodance. I dabble in data analytics, Linux, self hosting, and breaking my homelab. Corgis run my life. Host OS: XCP-ng.

All these people are talking about not buying stuff for just 1 day to boycott. Look, I go days without buying, the only things I buy weekly is food. How much are people shopping??
