“learned some things like Linux, command line, docker, and networking/pfsense” “I don’t consider myself technical”

Don’t sell yourself short, I work in IT and have colleagues on our helpdesk who would struggle endlessly with those concepts.

I hereby dub you a tech person, like it or not, those skills can and do pay the bills.

The Heritage Foundation can get absolutely fucked.

I explain fast boot to people by saying “for some reason Microsoft went and made the Shut Down button not actually shut down your PC, it really just puts it into a ‘deep sleep’ mode, and to their credit, it lets them say that boot times are faster… But it also means that in order to FULLY restart the PC, you have to click restart… I know it’s a pain”

Usually I get looked at like I’m from another planet, but that reaction means they’ll probably remember it later.

Syncthing is fantastic. Loving it so far.

The weird gargoyles are still there, near baggage claim.

That’s the main terminal above security in the photo.

Great photo!

For context: they’ve been remodeling the interior of the airport for a few years now, all the walls here are temporary

The orders of the Devs Radiant must stand again

Better yet - mine keeps trying to push me to the new version, but the (new) version is blocked in my org.

So every time it tries to open, I get a “teams (new) is blocked in your organization.” And I have to fight it to go back to the old version.

Free hardware is the best hardware!

The World of Tanks/Warships fans are getting out of hand again I see

I’m able to get a lot of gear secondhand through my job, so I’ve got:

One 2u Intel server running proxmox in a ‘cluster’ (circa 2013ish. Added RAM and upgraded the CPU/storage.)

One Intel nuc with an i7-7th gen as the other host in the cluster - only one VM is set to fail over between the two if needed.

VMs:

• Plex
• 2x PiHoles (one of these is the failover VM) (these also have a few docker containers like Uptime Kuma.)
• Windows arr box (I know it’s blasphemy but I felt more comfortable doing that stuff in windows)
• anything else I want to mess with because the server really doesn’t run that hard.

Network:

• Sonicwall TZ 300 (incl a perpetual VPN license)
• Unifi 24 port switch (it’s gigabit and POE but doesn’t output enough power for the…)
• single Unifi AP.

All acquired over the last couple years for the low low price of “it was going into the trash anyway”

The wife and I have really enjoyed playing Ravenswatch.

It’s an early-access rougelite that plays a bit like a Diablo/League (sans toxicity because it’s co-op, not competitive)

They’ve already been trying to bring “raise the voting age” into discussions.

I think he solely exists to roast British chefs’ Asian cooking

Because holy shit his obliteration of Jamie Oliver never gets old

Reasons being they want to justify their purchase of a very expensive office space

Spectroscopy is a really interesting tool

Goddamn.

All because he wanted to stop drug trafficking.

Unfortunately they’re still a default app in the business world. Basically everyone at least uses Reader if only because it’s what people expect when they open a PDF.
