Free as in freedom (in your own home) and open source as in you open the source of water coming in.
Sounds good to me I'm fine with my close friends, who benefit most from me showering, showering with me. They've just never asked to.
Better than ocean water, fish poop in there!
But you have to pay to use the water...
not if you just shower in the rain and bathe in the lake π
(this is the secret Big Tap doesnβt want you to know)
Plus, free parasites! :D
and sometimes even some cute little crocs come bathe with you :D
Amateur. At a previous job, I always needed to tell the interns the same thing I need to apparently tell you. Eating the worms in the salad is completely optional.
As you do with Red Hat π (or not, idk, never used it)
red had is just fedora with support isnt it?
Developers license is free, but in general yes, you need to pay for rhel (worth it).
Thx for the knowledge
So you want me to take a Shower all naked in the rain?
Sounds kinda hot, so yes.
Anything can be hot if you try hard enough!
My non native english speaking ass imagined it like the shover head and hose and the valve will have open source design and would be repairable and you can 3d print new nozzles or something and i was like what is the issue with that i would take that anytime over my current one
You can totally 3d print shower heads, it's usually a pretty standard connector. (Well, there's like two standards, based on very limited research - US and Canada have a different standard than the rest of the world.)
Free shower? What am I, the YMCA?
Cold showers build character. Warm showers are for bitches
Build resilience: take the cold shower after a sauna
Cold showers are for the weak, scalding showers are for true warriors.
How about cold plunges during the freezing winter?
Steam baths are the best.
Get the steam directly out of a pressure cooker.
Ah yes, the Lakota healing rites.
ok i'll do it
Careful, he's a hero
Quitter
Linux user who?
Knock knock
I'll take any FOSS clear and cold ass shower over proprietary warm and muddy shower.
I use Debian btw
Maybe you should try Dove or Dial instead?
You will need a barrel, a rope and a pulley on a pole. Oh and something to make holes in a barrel with.
To compile:
- rope the barrel and lay the rest of the rope over the pulley
- drive the pole into the ground next to your desired source of water
- optionally, keep the barrel's lid openable
- make holes in the barrel in a convenient position, such that the holes will face downwards when you eventually mast the barrel
To charge:
- Set the barrel in the water source and wait until the barrel is full of water (optionally open the lid at this point)
- If you optionally opened the lid before, then mandatorily close the lid, now
- Pull the rope from the other side of the pulley such that the barrel goes up
- Let the water pour from the barrel and have fun with the shower
Where do they live where Showers are free and open? You can charge like $7 for a shower, showers in home cost water which the owner gets billed for.
I think gratis showers would be impossible.
But I would love to see what a libre shower looks like.
Never showered in the rain?
I use Debian btw
Absolutely nothing wrong with Debian, so long as youβre comfortable configuring most things through the shell youβll be fine.
