Set hammer on top of step ladder

Climb down from ladder

IMMEDIATELY forget about hammer

Move ladder

KLONK!! “Ow! Shit.”

“That’s the last time I’ll ever do that.”

Narrator: “It wasn’t even the last time that day.”

Self hosting is a great opportunity to learn about some popular technologies and even acquire a few sysadmin skills. Required knowledge of a self-hosted solutions tech stack is not gatekeeping any more than required knowledge of tools and building materials is gatekeeping when it comes to renovating your bathroom. In either scenario, if you don’t know what you’re doing, it’s going to be a much more difficult job.

That said, you should not be exposing any of your services to the public if you don’t know what you’re doing. That’s a quick way to a bad time.

Users can interact with AI to explore story elements, generate summaries, and build a personal knowledge base.

You what else would accomplish this? Reading the fucking book.

The PC OS market is saturated and has been for years with Microsoft dominating the market since mid 1990’s.

They were smart enough to realize the market was tapped out a long time ago and have worked aggressively to transform the entire organization from an OS provider into a SaaS provider that also happens make the dominant PC OS. Windows is slowly becoming just a funnel to chain you to the Microsoft “ecosystem” and make it easier to sell you more of their services. Good business decision but shitty deal for the customer.

That said, one of the major selling points for Windows has always been backward compatibility. Enterprise customers like to keep running their ancient software and some of them will pay exorbitant licensing fees to keep doing that.

I grew up in a family with a cycle of abuse.

I now understand why my dad was as angry and violent as he was. It honestly made me feel sorry for him and made it easier to forgive him. But in no way did it excuse or justify his actions. What he did was still wrong.

When I forget the name of someone that I have known for ages. Especially frustrating when I see them somewhere and I’m scrambling through my phone contacts to see if it jogs my memory.

Then, all of a sudden POOF it comes back to me. So annoying.

I use Proxmox for Work and Hyper-V at home. Looking forward to retiring my old Hyper-V host and replace it with Proxmox because Hyper-V is a pain.

Virtualization really helps with reliability. In particular, by allowing you to quickly take snapshots before doing anything destructive and by streamlining backup and recovery.

Have you tried focusing and applying yourself?

Ah. So Galveston.

I think you mean an “eeek-ooh-terrorist”

A long time ago, for whatever reason, I decided to do a port scan on my entire WAN subnet. That’s how I discovered that a certain brand of DSL modem (I don’t recall which) made the admin portal accessible from the WAN. And of course the credentials were admin/admin.

I think most hardware providers do better now but it was just mind boggling to me that it even happened in the first place.

With TP-Link, I would say the bigger concern is that they are reeaaaalllyyy slow to patch vulnerabilities, if they do it at all.

A lot of people simply do not understand what it’s like to have ADHD. I remember sitting at our dining room table for hours most evenings, staring at my math homework and wondering why I couldn’t wrap my brain around it when all the other kids seemed to find it so easy.

Turns out when you can’t visualize things in your head it makes doing math very hard. Give me 70mg of Vyvanse and I’m all over it. Without it, I can’t even recall a phone number that I literally just looked at. I have to punch the digits one at a time while constantly looking back at the number.

You can’t just will your brain into getting hormones and neurotransmitters to the right places. Who knew.

And here I am running an old Dell Poweredge that probably consumes 10 watts when it’s powered off.

I would not buy them here or there. I would not buy them anywhere. I do not like appliances with ads. I do not like them Sam-I-Am.

If you’re leading an organization that somehow managed to “overhire” 30k employees, then the first person to hit the bricks should be you because you really suck at your job.

My teachers in school: “JubilationTCornpone would perform a lot better and get better grades if he would just focus and apply himself.”

Me: “Ok detective. You caught me. Being shit at math is totally a conscious decision on my part. Case closed everybody. We can all go home now. Turns out I’m not a complete moron. I’m just lazy.”

First off, I wouldn’t take anything from a junior high level sitcom seriously.

Second, no one cares if you’re a virgin. And if they do care, their opinion on the subject is irrelevant.

Stop worrying about it.

Lots of caffeine to bring you up during the day and alcohol to slow the racing thoughts at night. It’s no way to live.

Every once in a while I still encounter parents who are hesitant to get their ADHD kid on meds. I try to explain to them that it’s not really about performance in school even if that’s where it was first noticed.

It’s about keeping them from killing themselves or engaging in incredibly self destructive behavior.
