Looking for recommendations for men's grooming stuff

Looking for recommendations for men's grooming stuff - Lemmy.World

This feels wrong posting this here, but I could not find a sub to do this in, so feel free to point me in the right direction. My dad was an Old Spice Guy, I am an Old Spice Guy, but I am done with P&G and what I think is poisonous and wasteful products. I am looking for recommendations for organic safe healthy body washes, lotions for dry dark skin and deodorants. I’ve not had to look for anything other brands for over 25 years, so this feels overwhelming. I just tried Native, and that won’t work, so, please, any directions to point me to? Thanks.

Someone came and trashed our replacement glass nursery.

Grass was ok this morning, ok when the kids came into just before lunch, but after lunch, someone did this. I’m not pointing fingers but we only has an Amazon guy come to our porch.

Looking for near equivalent alternatives

Looking for near equivalent alternatives - Lemmy.World

I am looking to run a few root servers and my ideal was going to be Netcup’s RS units cause they have a good rep and EU & US choices aren’t bad. However, Netcup isn’t currently offering them in Manassas VA (US), which was a requirement for me to kick-start it. My project is already into the final line, and this was a bit of a bombshell, so I have to figure out who else offers near equivalents for the same thing. One thing that is key is backup and their Snapshots (Copy-On-Write) were a big deal for me as I am dealing with 3rd party data. Who else can offer the same in both EU/US with the same storage options and so on? Appreciated

Is it me or are many freemium applications masquerading as opensource applications?

My creds: Been in open source for 25 years, one of the earlier users of Ubuntu when it launched in Fourways, South Africa (remember those sleeved CDs they used to send for installation media) though I hardcore rep Debian, have deployed and supported countless tools across 3 continents, the most memorable being Mambo which later became Joomla, though I switched to Drupal. I think the label has been hijacked by many corporations to front an ethical FOSS front but in reality release a hobbled version of their software that is inherently open source at the core, but, has a commercial hard gate around certain things, like scalability/performance/high availability, authentication and security (big yikes here), integrations, usability, reporting and analytics etc… you get where I am going with this. I respect that people have to do what they have to do to eat and grow, but there is blatant misrepresentation happening and it needs to be called out. Or maybe I am wrong here?

Towels should have labels (colour coded even) on each side and quadrants to show which part wipes where on your body.

Towels should have labels (colour coded even) on each side and quadrants to show which part wipes your face, which part wipes your body, which part wipes your legs and which part wipes your ass. We are all mixing it out there.

Never got the appeal of these ones. They aren’t bad shows, but they did not do it for me.
