General question but how do y'all actually find a mentor? I feel like there's probably a local group nearby me or something that I could look into but are there places/people that are more likely to say "yes, I will mentor you" in y'all's experience?

Way, way back when the internet was still being charted as if it was some mysterious country, one of my favorite things to do was just to spend a solid chunk of time on StumbleUpon -- bouncing from random website to random website. It was such a useful tool for just finding niche sites, some of which I still use to this day.

This site will send you to a random IndieWeb site and even has RSS feeds to send a set amount of random blog entries to your feed. Glad that there's still sites like this out there in the ether!

Yeah, I would still be using mullvad if they hadn't removed port forwarding -- it's too damn bad but I get why they needed it. Switched to Proton but I imagine they'll run into the same issue down the road and will need to find a more permanent solution.

I hope you all have a great day. in c/programmerhumor@lemmy.ml

DIY Filter for the upcoming fire season (dynomight.net)

I came across this blog post -- considering that fire season is coming up (or already started in some places) and the PNW's track record, figured some folks may find this useful.

This is a pretty cheap air filter that is easy to construct with minimal tools and works better than putting filters onto a box fan.
