Just go and ask

There is a before and an after. Once you get diagnosed you can start mitigating. There are many tricks but one thing I've learned is being vocal about it. My colleagues know I'm forgettable so they send me meeting requests and tasks all the time. They've also learned not to bother me with questions all the time because a simple question can turn into a deep dive for me.

I did the same thing as you. Got my masters degree in public management 2 years ago.

Finding a niche is hard when you like to learn new stuff all the time. Setting up a home lab got me into IT so a few days ago I also payed for my inscription fee at the uni.

I'm 43. I feel you. Lately I started processing what happened to me because of ADD. I'm lucky, fell on my feet and have a good life but I've lost so much time and was misunderstood for so long.

They mean setting up your own server.

Many countries have tied the vehicle tax to the 'weight' of the car. Most of them use power to determine the weight, but still.

You could get taxed on traveled distance pdr year but the poses a problem with people who travel outside of the countries limits.

Toll systems seem to be quite effective.

I only have some concerns about their incomplete privacy policy. What's in it for them? Will my data be sold?

Third is not a meme. This is art.

I feel you, though it is not as bas for me as you described. I was lucky. My wife sat through the whole journey. She's rock solid.

Got diagnosed at age 26. (I'm 42 now) Straight on the meds. Side effects were intense but the awareness was mind boggling. I experienced focus for the first time in my life. Side effect was I was experiencing focus the whole time. Worrying was something new. A potential black hole caused by CERN in Switzerland was my main focus. I was on my way to a sabotage the whole plant. Big out bag ready and all. Fortunately my psych asked for side effects and I quit the meds for a few weeks. All settled down bit I was scared.

Then the acceptance came. I reorientated. Pushed myself through evening classes and got my master in public management. Because of the awareness I made it.

Got into a management position three years ago and thing fell apart. 6 Months ago I was on the verge of burnout and went to the doctors'. Told my story and now I'm on meds again. A low dose but it's awesome. It's the hand on the back that supports me and not the strong arm that pulls me like before.

I'm angry. At least, I used to be. Because the signs were clear and none of my teachers saw it. They are on the front line, they should've noticed. They told me I was lazy, even stupid and I believed it. I wasted a lot of years in shitty jobs but now I'm on track and functional. It took way to many years to realize how it affected my family life. As I told before. My wife is a rock.

The only thing that I wat to warn about is that the meds take away you good traits too. Make sure the dose is right. I'm creative and I don't have a box to think outside of. I had interests... Way too many so I know a lot about a lot. That is my strength. The meds mess with that part of me but when well balanced ADHD is my super power.

Take care. Love you all.

+1 for Mulvad for what it's worth.

Dirt cheap actually. But still I'm setting up a self hosted version. I suppose that's why we're here.

Search for Pink and Brie.

Most likely

Simon's desk probably refers to a location, not actually the desk of Simon.

That's stupid, so good. How haven't I heard of this before?

Made me snort

I agree. These are anonymous messages. I don't see any privacy violations.

They could set up camera's that record who's entering and leaving the restroom and thus violate privacy but this seems fair play to me. They'll just vape somewhere else.

No background but I can read and listen. There are plenty of resources around.

I started out of privacy concerns and I wanted to deGoogle It started this year with a RPI and pihole. Then I saw Mealie, bought a domain, and started sharing recipes with my family.

At first I messed around with Casa OS. It's like a gateway drug. So easy to use and get stuff running.

Last week a 2nd hand i5 arrived and now I moved everything to proxmox. The RPI is still running pihole. At the moment I'm setting up Immich and I'm thinking about buying a NAS.

Since it is a new hobby I keep everything low cost. If it sticks I'll invest in a proper home server.

Took me a while to get that reference. In my mind Epsons are printers not projectors.

I live in a country where cars are part of your salary. Especially because that part of your wage doesn't get taxed. It is very clear that 'they' installed a very car centric thinking into society. Sure, some people aren't affected or influenced but way too many people are.

Since a few years bikes are treated in a likewise manner and now 30% of my colleages chooses a bike over a car. That has resulted in a surge of bike sales and that unfortunately. made them terribly expensive.

I do like cars though. That's why I hit the track a few times a year.
