Dealing with winter. I live in the rural upper Midwest, where winter can hit -20 with whiteout blizzards, week-long power outages, and car-burying snowdrifts. I’ve seen too many people move here from warmer places and think “I guess I’ll buy a warmer coat and a snow shovel”, rather than “I should have a backup generator, a backup heat source, a few barrels of spare fuel, a month’s worth of stockpiled food, and at least two different pieces of heavy snow-moving machinery tested to be in good working order”.

During AC season, 71 during the day, 68 at night. Geothermal FTW.

Exactly. I’ve run Linux almost exclusively for more than 20 years. I did the whole roll-my-own thing for a while. Now most of the computers I deal with regularly run mostly-stock Ubuntu.

Specific subs that don’t exist on Lemmy, especially Q&A-type subs with no equivalent (or very few members). Things like AskPlumbers. It’ll just take time to build those communities here.
