Hi friend, this was just meant to be an introduction, as I get started blogging and sharing back some knowledge and lessons I learned along the way. I’ve never written a blog before (or much of anything!), and I’m sorry you didn’t find value in this.

I wasn’t intending to boast, but I can see how it came across. I just meant to say, “companies are trying to tell you that you need ‘XYZ’ to scale,” and at least at the size of business I ran, you didn’t need any fancy tech at all – we could have made do with a dead-simple setup: a single server running Go and SQLite. It’s something I wish I had known when I started.

I’ll take your feedback to heart and try to produce larger, more substantial posts to follow. Thanks for commenting.

Is it too late for, “I use nix btw”? I use it at home and for development.

I planned to focus this blog series on ol’ faithful (Debian), but I could definitely see writing articles on how to use Nix and OpenBSD if people find it helpful.

What are we supposed to do in warm/temperate climates, like Southern CA?

Wow, that Cybertruck is holding up great! Looks like the flames were limited to the front quarter, and the seats haven’t rusted through the base of the car, yet. That’s better than most!

GW2 is a completely different game from the first one. No GvG, no RA, no more incredibly complex builds from combining two classes. I loved GW1 and really wished GW2 was “GW1, but you can jump now.”

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. Steve Oedekerk is a genius.

You undercook chicken. Jail. You overcook chicken, believe it or not, jail.

Beautiful. Looks like a Skyrim mod.

Right of access to public spaces doesn’t mean shitting on the street, smoking crack, starting fires, or stealing dozens of bikes and packages from neighbors.

No, it’s an overwhelming problem. Encampments are huge, unsafe, and monopolize use of public spaces.

Seriously, buy a bidet.

He eats too many hamburders to survive another four years.

“When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it’s electric cars that don’t drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he’d be worthless, and telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, ‘drop to your knees and beg,’ and he would have done it.” – Donald Trump

Vote! And make Elon worthless.

I want to see ads featuring Vance’s “America’s Hitler” quote running 24/7 until the election.

That’s a real Karen thing to say.

This is a high quality lock that will not be picked, either by a thief or a locksmith. Don’t lose your keys!

It is expensive but far less than the thousands you mentioned. Of course without armor to prevent kicking down the door, the best lock in the world won’t help you, so installing some armor would be a good thing to do.

You smash spiders to get rid of bugs.

I smash spiders because they bite the fuck out of me.

We are not the same.

10-11pm. I wake up early naturally (no alarms).
