Have you used Google lately? At least chatGPT doesn’t make me scroll past a full page of ads before giving me a half wrong answer.

Maybe if you wrote better code …

Good call. How are you? Have you had enough water today?

Congratulations on making that observation. I know I frequently have problems because I’m just oblivious to my own mental state. I’m to busy with what I am doing that I don’t pay attention to what I am doing. So good job noticing. The best suggestion I have I to make time to observe the emotion. Next time it happens to make a few minutes of time to just experience and think about that feeling.

If it still has working USB you can hook it up to a $10 raspberry pi with wifi to act as a print server. I can understand if that’s a more ambitious tech project than your ready to take on.

If you want cheap new drives check out https://shucks.top/.

You can get used Enterprise drives on eBay if you want to got that way. Look for a seller with lots of sales, a good rating, and a reasonable return policy.

I would stay away from kubernets/k3/k8s. Unless you want to learn it for work purposes, it’s so overkill you can spend a month before you get things running. I know from experience. My current setup gives you options and has been reliable for me.

NAS Box: Truenas Scale - You can have UnRaid fill this role.

Services Hosting: Proxmox - I can spin up any VMs I need and lots of info online to do things like hardware passthrough to VMs.

Containers: Debian VM - Debian makes a great server environment as it’s stable and well supported. I just make this VM a docker swarm host. I managed things with Portainer for a web interface.

I keep data on the NAS and have containers access it over the network. Usually a NFS share.

Any untyped languages that don’t care what is in the variable, assumes you know what your doing, and YOLOs it?

I found passive activitys can help with that. Just sit down and watch a good show that is engaging. Even going to bed early but listening to an audio book or podcast.

Having read the article it sounds like Pat is more complaining that Intel would have been positioned to milk the AI cow if the previous CEOs weren’t fucking idiots.

If you are interested in a web interface for management check out portainer.

I think part of the challenge we face is a larger hurdle to get engaged with a task. So we either need something very interesting or stressful enough to capture our attention. But once it has our attention, it tends to have our full attention. Also we so frequently have to solve problems in a rush because we put it off until the last minute we are familiar with that mode of operation.

Gotta meet the customer where they are, not where you would like them to be. Most people don’t want to learn a new thing.

They have been told it’s their job. You have been told to not do their job. If they don’t like it they should bitch to the manager, not you.

Easier to abuse position of power. Visa people need to stay employed to stay in country.

A VPN is going to offer better security. I would only use cloudflare if you need something to be open to the public. This is useful when you have non-technical users that aren’t going to understand using a VPN.

Which you can probably afford to do with the money you save working from here me.

I do that so much at work I must be a warlock.
