Don't know if this is any consolation, but the variant going around this season wasn't the one expected when the vaccines were manufactured. It still seems to lessen the severity a bit, but the vaccine wasn't made for this H3N2 strain. But yeah, always get the jab.

- "Up to..." when used to describe things like internet speeds
- "Wholesome" when used to describe food. Not really a lie, per se, but "wholesome" has absolutely no meaning when it comes to nutrition and just sounds good
- "Zero calories" or 0 grams of [blank] in the nutrition information. The regulations let them round down if it's less than 1 ~~gram~~ standard unit of measurement for that item (edited from grams).
- Any time you see "free" there's always at least an implied asterisk
Dunno how I missed this, but I referenced this post as a reply to another and am just now seeing it.
The box I ssh into is headless, and AFAIK, use of /media/{user}/{mountpoint} is just a desktop environment convention. When I plug in any kind of removable media to this box, I manually mount it under /mnt. I mount my NAS's media share to /media mostly for convenience since that's the main purpose of this box in my workshop.

Basically ssh into the box in my workshop and mplayer my whole music folder on shuffle.

After two and a half weeks of heavy, low clouds and darkness, the sun is out today.

Yeah, both of mine get all excited and start hopping up and down if I go anywhere near the coat rack where I hang their collars up when we come in lol.
HeltecV3 is probably the lowest-cost point of entry. It doesn't have GPS or battery (though it has a battery connector and charger built in if you want to add a battery later). Some come with a case, some don't, but there are lots of cases for them if you have a 3D printer.
The LoRa antenna isn't integrated though (uses a U.FL connector) but it comes with a little mini-whip. I'm not sure I can recall any Meshtastic-compatible boards that have a fully-integrated antenna.
Running it directly from a solar panel is possible, but the ESP32-based boards aren't the most power-efficient. I have one of mine running from solar but it's got a 2000 mAh battery to smooth it out.
The nRF-based boards are more power efficient but they're a little more expensive and may lack Wifi.
Edit/Addition: Also, be careful powering at least the Heltecs from solar -- make sure you use a solar panel with a voltage regulator. I used a small, unregulated 1W panel on two of them and it burnt out the USB->UART controller on them (they didn't like its 6V). They both still work but can't use the USB port for serial connection anymore (have to use an external serial adapter to the pin headers). One of those is now a base station connected over Wifi, and the other is acting as a repeater.
Best thing I did was train my dogs to sit before I'll open the door. Youngest one (a Russell terrier mix) used to bolt out (thankfully the yard is fenced).
Probably also helps that we have a "going outside" routine too. They don't wear their collars inside so before we go out, they have to sit while I put their collars on them.
A Stitch in Time was my gateway drug into more TrekLit. Be warned!
But seriously, hope you enjoy it.
My air fryer never leaves the counter, but it's also a toaster oven and grill. I can easily cook for the two of us with that and haven't baked anything in the big oven in months.
The grill plate works great but it's a PITA to clean up after grilling something that splatters a lot, so I don't use that much.
Haven't had those in forever but you could probably pop them in the air fryer or even the toaster oven for half that time.
The last time I recall eating a Hot Pocket was in like 2014 during a week-long power outage. Was using a propane heater to not freeze to death and put the hot pockets over top of that on a wire rack. They came out surprisingly good 😆

Oh, yeah. I totally forgot about serving size chicanery.
