Honestly breaks from instant excitement. Spending some time coding, making soap, fixing up the house. If I spend three days boozing, playing games, watching shows, etc I’ll be fucking wiped and spend some time just feeling like death afterwords.
If I instead stick to things that require some choring to get to the yippy stage I find I’m just more content.
Worse is those things CAN change. Do it require an Internet connection? No, but this update does so you better hope you have it firewalled right. Does it need an app? No, but this update does. Easy never update right? … Now you have an unpatchable hard coded device on your network. What could go wrong?
It changed after 90 days? Whomp whomp no returns. You could fight the legal battle with the mutlicolgerate to get it refunded by the manufacturer. That will be painless to do with the thing you have hardwired into your house…
Listen I get you, I look at opensource firm for a given product type first THEN buy off of that, even that requires added research if there is a server componet (smart vaccums create maps of various types).
Easist option is to do nothing, but that does suck. Day to day chores suck a little, when you are disabled its a massive suck. Listen if your full of piss and vinigar, spry and full of energy, go install automation for charity for seniors and the disabled. They can really use the help.
Are you buying these u/a_random_idiot? /Jk
Honestly though how are consumers supposed to know which ones will be a bust and which ones won’t?
Pizza. It’s really good and I’m going to eat more of it
What!? I loved that show. Added to my list
Like slipping into a daydream during a long day after a night with little sleep.
Geniunly triggered me without context lmao
Matrix via Element and Mattermost are the best options I know off.
Nice thing with Matrix is can use the same account across multiple servers
When talking politics:
“It’s plain as day” “Common sense” “I don’t know about that” “We all know” “It’s just natural” “Normal” “Everybody (verbs) (x)”
Like that kind of stuff irks me in normal conversations but when we are talking about something that is part of common debate, obviously it’s fucking not already known “common sense”, and dismissing evidence that clearly contradicted it by saying “I don’t about that” or similar just sends me.
It’s a problem with trolls, strangers, and even loved ones for me. It’s just wild
Actually you got me thinkng about some of my pieces.
But overall i agree with most of the thread here. Properly rack it, and secure the rack. Then basic locking does the rest (secure a rack door with a lock).
Security cameras system help police catch theives.
Encryption on data you care about and off site back ups meqns rebuilding is just getting the hardware again.
For mini pcs and laptops they have those security cables to at least attach them to a heavier thing (desk, cabinet, etc). (this is the thing i hadn’t thought about).
Finding obsure places to hide my nodes is practical matter for me, because space is always a premium, so over sizing cooling solutions (liquid cooling to big radiators) and then finding wierd places to tuck them away (i mean why cant a computer rack be a night stand, the raspberry pi is clustered anyway why not stick in a lamp, the crawl space is actually always dry there and nice and cool to boot!, etc, etc). That probally adds some* factor to it.
The consumer stuff i have is a more likly target then the SOC or server stuff though. At least for me.
The phrase that triggered my “completly board talking about” was right after saying a setup i see as awesome you say “which seems ok to me”. This also seems inline with other dutch political takes ive seen, from bikes to red light districts to work place norms, where i see what would be a hotly talked about topic (both support and opposition) here in the US for me, is largely plainly talked about.
I cant say its wrong, as i seem to agree with coorolated polices, but it just seems in stark contrast to the American tendency to make this higher stakes and more exciting.
The closer government is something that makes alot of sense to me too. I find municple, town, county level politics much more grounded then my federal level decisions (which is more like EU scoped politics to me in comparison at about half the population but about the same land mass). State level, which an average of almost 6 million being represented by the goverment vs the 350 million the fed size has to represent, also seems more reasonable though in terms of action very limited.
I know one reform here id like is to expand the number of federal representives here to be scaled with population again. It was orginally scaled at 1 for every 30 thousand (which feels like a human scale of representation), but including our upper house its around 750,000 per elected member of congress.
It depends on why. Is it a blind obedence to law, i.e. any law breaking is considered immoral to you? I.e. you oppose speeding, jaywalking, hiding Ann Frank just as much. No, probally not. That is a different issue called Statism.
After that you’d have to get into the countries actual laws and what their intentions and effects are. Is it just a matter of getting documented and agreeing to follow laws and participate in society and people are bypassing that in order to shirk accountabilty? No thats not racist.
Is it because there is a quota based on country of origin in order to shape demographics and so people desperate to move cant do so legally? Yeah, that’s probally racist (with current demographics of the world largly affected by a few centuries of racist policy, both colonial and domestic).
Personally i think it would have to work as a series of institutions that each person is part of. Maybe a geographic organization that acts on municiple levels and coordinates with other municiple level orgs with a higher level org that coordinates agendas and the like.
But there some things that would make sense being technically bound by skill set. So more anarcho sydicalist structures for technocratic orgnizations as well.
Its honestly why i try to join democratic orgs where i can. My insurace is a mutual fund, my bank a credit union, grocery coop, electric coop, etc A lot of my software is devoloped in KDEs system whish is pretty democratic as well.
Im saving up with the intention to create a dual community land trust and housing coop in my area as well. Just taking back ownership out of autocrats hands where i can.
Why does the netherlands do so many things well and seem completly bored talking about lol
That seems like a great implentation to me. Basically an explicit acknowledgement of the sociol contract
H A R V E S T E R
Lol
But honestly got all of nodes (some new hardware, some minipcs, some old laptops, some ewaste servers, some raspberry pies, a VM off my Macbook), all in my harvestet cluster. I got Rancher running as a vcluster as well so messed some with Rancher provisioned rke2 clusters too.
Played some with nutanix as a vm in that cluster (what a fing nightmare, anr not virtual hardware just Nutanix …). Playing with ESXI now (its not happy about my amd chips so far…). And also my virtual harvester cluster. Easy so far but i want to get more ambitoius in creating a mock deployment, network and all, so i can test crazier configs without losing a day to rebuilding a cluster via thumb drive again…
Also managed some risk and got my ISP to let me do dual modems on the same bus and configed OpenWRT to load balance between them and via usb my wifi hotspot. Still working with them to try and get more IPs so can use the 4 total ports on my modem stacks to attach to both of my routers.
I like tinkering with junk, so the other half of my hobby is just risk mitigation (which i also enjoy).

“Wisdom has been chasing you all your life but you have always been faster”
Bad sarcasm me and my friends do
Any response to “ive been thinking” that is shocked. Like “Wow. And?” Or “good for you”
or any form of “yeah, youre getting there”
Basically rember that perfection is impossible and that comparison is the thief of joy but be a dick lol
Food forest concept has been really cool to get into
I went from prefering perneals, to permaculture, to full on food forest goals. I love it. Got a few buckets of apples this year and my first gallon of elderberry juice. Was able to pick some nice mulberries and have some tomatios on the way.
All of which I just pruned this year. Which is A TON less work then tilling, planting, weeding, and watering.
Got a fig tree on the way, mint taking over a good patch. Still figuring out what guilds of plant really work on my hugalculture walls where I live.
Honestly I love foraging my own yard vs feeling like it was a chore I had to keep up on.
I’d love this. Maybe a filter for subscribed communitied but otherwise sounds like a great way to interact with a community around articles
Good time for disruptive projects like electrical work and power tools inside
