I bought the green because I have too much to do right now and limited bandwidth.

So having something that I can just plug in rather than having to research what kind minipc to buy, such one would work best for home assistant, install it, debug it …

Bots on social media are like toupées, they look fake, unnatural and are easy to spot.

Does it mean that bots/toupees look fake and unnatural ? No, it means that we can only spot the bad ones, the good ones stay unnoticed.

My dishwasher does that. On the Eco cycle it opens the four at the end of the cycle to let it dry

This is what my ISP provided, a microtik router with openwrt flashed on it

Churchill’s racism has its own Wikipedia page! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_views_of_Winston_Churchill

It is, it’s a great place to visit or live in.

This is the kind of socialist hellscape the capitalist is protecting us from.

Edit: Dense mixed used urban development, biking to work, walking to your nearest weekly market, buying unprocessed food for groceries and common public area easily accessible by foot for old people where they can mix with other generations.

It sounds like a great plan, this way there will be plenty of nice store locations available for these state own groceries store.

Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

Grey’s law

This one hurt a bit too close to home.

In high school and college I did believe that in my lifetime humanity would really start space exploration and colonization.

I studied engineering and did everything I could to contribute to this great advancement of humanity. I got a double master degree in aerospace manufacturing, specialized in the machining of exotic alloys used in aerospace, worked on rocket engines, developed new machining techniques that unlocked new possibilities for aircraft engines performances and was working my way up to be one of the few people in Europe highly specialized on machining technique for these alloys used in aerospace.

Then in 2016 I read more and more about “Collapse”, more specifically the collapse of our thermo industrial civilization. We are not going to colonize space, we will be lucky if most of humanity does not die in the coming century.

So rather than contributing to the future of humanity with my work I was contributing to worsen the condition of life on earth by accelerating climate change and the uses of resources.

I had a bit of an existential crisis at this point.

It’s not just for my home server but for EOL or other issues I used bitwarden emergency access options for passwords. Of anything happens to me my wife can request access to my vault and if I don’t deny it in a certain timeframe she will have full access to it.

I did that after my brother in law got in an accident and fell into a coma. I’m very grateful he had all his password saved in chrome on his unlocked laptop because if not it would have made the period insanely more difficult for my sister.

Simple things like paying the bills would I been insanely more difficult and stressful and you don’t need extra stress in this period.

I just got fiber and my local ISP gave me a microtik router with openWRT installed on it. I’m quite happy with it

The worst is that it will probably increase profit or a quarter or too while running the brand to the ground.

This is the opposite of what a flat earther would say.

The main position of flat-earther (and the backers of conspiracy theories) is that you can’t trust sources, especially official sources of course.

And if you look at things without having the official explanation you start to notice things that, in appearance, do not make sense. Like the fact that you can see farther away than the curvature of earth allows. Of course it’s very easy to explain with the refractory properties of the atmosphere but can be quite difficult to demonstrate.

PS: earth is definitely round, I’m not trying the defend their theory.

Looking into my two year old bed and seeing that he’s staring at me, awake but without a word.

Yeah, you are not making blue chips before doing the green and red chips first.

When I was in Belgium I had to open a specific bank account for it. The money was then blocked on this account.

To release the money both me and the landlord had to find an agreement and sign the release documents. If we could not find an agreement then we would have to go to a judge to decide who gets what.

And at the end you get the deposit back+interests.

I liked this solution, it felt fair for both parties.

Having a vasectomy was the best thing I did for my couple sex life.

Now it’s just worry free creampies all the time.

This is called a mirepoix and the base of a lot of French cuisine. I agree that this combo is amazing

The biggest difference between the 90s and now is that in the 90s we had the feeling that things were being better and that it would continue in this direction.

We might have less problems now but unlike the 90s now it’s really hard to look forward and think things will get better.
