Stop redirecting them. Make it cost them.

Tell your neighbors to file an “it arrived late” or “it didn’t arrive” complaint. Get two and send one back. Their fault for being shit companies.

If something is delivered to you by mistake, it’s not your responsibility to fix the mistake, you just got free stuff.

If it goes through USPS, it might be a federal offense to open stuff delivered via USPS, but is that true of third party parcel delivery? Almost certainly not, because USPS is a government org and those third party shit delivery companies aren’t…

So now any package that’s delivered to me by anyone other than USPS… it’s mine now, and I open it to see if I want whatever trash my neighbors are buying.

I used to try to fix the problem… but then I realized it’s NOT MY PROBLEM.

Oh shit lineage was cyanogen? I used that back in the day and loved it!

I’ll keep that in mind, thanks for the tidbit!

“Some DIY is fun, some is stuff we do by mistake because ‘well how hard can it be anyway?’ and it teaches us a lot for the next project. The rest we do purely to spite ourselves, because we should be able to do it, damnit!”

-thing I said to a friend who asked why I was putting so much effort on myself when I could just buy a flat-pack for the same cost and 99% less effort.

Super sorry for the delay - life stuff got hectic

I think whatever you are planning would be perfectly fine for my needs, since I don’t need much. I was more just looking to see if it already existed but if it leads to a cool collab, that’s pretty awesome too and I’d love to use whatever comes out of it :)

I mean I’m down but idk how to do shit until I find a guide for it 😅

So like I’m super nervous but I’m into it.

@Darorad@lemmy.world might be into this also. Idk how mentions work but now you both got one, and I feel fancy.

You and @haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com would probably be good to chat about that :)

I don’t know shit about shit. I’d love to pretend I do but I don’t and getting competent people together is probably a win

I don’t know how to do anything techy, unfortunately, so I didn’t understand most of what you wrote… most I know how to do is basic tech support troubleshooting type stuff 😅

I’m moving away from anyone that would be my neighbors now, and while I also plan to support the small local community I end up in, my friends are already a bit scattered around a 4-hour radius from my projected landing spot, and they all have people they love and trust, and I still want to support the dispersed community I care about now, as well as being part of an underground pipeline for people to safer spaces.

Being online isn’t ideal, but it may prove to be necessary to maintain inventory and needs for such an extended network. Idk shit about logistics.

I have a few interface points already established who will be delivery/distribution points for wider networks, but if others want to contribute their goods it will get prohibitively difficult for one person to manage

Am I the only one surprised there were even that many in the first place?
