Men will literally write a Business Insider article instead of going to therapy. No really, I feel like this guy could benefit from some therapy.

It wasn't until I met a few women on dating apps that I realized being a software engineer in a tech hub is far from special. Working at companies like Amazon or Microsoft just isn't interesting; it's the norm here.

It's weird to expect that you'd get dates just for being an engineer. What? Like if someone did date you just because you are an engineer, that would be such a shallow relationship.

I think one big reason for that is software engineering doesn't require socially demanding skills like in product management or UX design.

Strongly disagree, software engineering is mostly social skills. It's all about communicating problems, learning your users pain points, explaining your solutions, and coordinating work. Coding the actual solutions is typically the easy part unless you are doing cutting edge computer science research.

I'm not OP but I use Woodpecker CI, also self hosted. Gitea is also working on Gitea Actions which are supposed to be compatible with Github Actions, but I think it's still on beta.

You could keep using it and just ignore all the credit card ads they show you. That's how they make their money.

For any family photos and documents you can't afford to lose, make sure you have backups of it. A RAID array does not mean you don't need backups: you want at least 3 copies, at least one offsite.

The copy in your RAID array is one copy. You can back that up to an external hard drive or something as a second copy. Then have an offsite backup on something like Backblaze as your third copy.

How about Track & Graph? It's not necessarily for mental health, it can track anything you want. You can attach notes while tracking, it includes CSV exports, and you can configure it to send reminders.

You'll need to check the documentation of every app, they usually have an option to set a base path so the app will add that base path to every link and resource.

If some of the apps don't have support for that, the next option would be to build from source and patch all the links yourself.

"AI compute module"s exist, they are called GPUs. All the matrix calculations that go into neural networks are highly parallelizable, which means GPUs are optimal for them. A cheap used GPU will beat anything you can cook up yourself.

You probably just want NextCloud then

I don't like that garage requires manual intervention to upgrade, so I went with minio which can upgrade automatically. I have it deployed with docker, and I use watchtower to pull in upgrades automatically without intervention.

I do love minio. I have backups going into it, and I use it to host my static website blog too.

I thought that ToS was just for their CDN?

You can also use Tailscale Funnel, it does the same thing and doesn't have a limitation on what kind of content you put through it.

What people are rightfully scared of is that:

• Big websites will only accept attestations from big companies like Google, Apple, and Microsoft
• Google, Apple, and Microsoft will refuse to attest your browser if you have an adblocker installed, or if you are using a browser or operating system they don't approve, or if you made modifications to your browser or your operating system etc.

While adblocking can be detected, you can block anti-adblock scripts, it's sort of a weapons race. Depending on how deep an attestation goes, it might be extremely difficult to fight. Attestations might also be used to block more than just adblockers, for example using Firefox, or rooting/jailbreaking your phone, or installing an alternative OS might make your phone ineligible for attestations and thus locked out of a lot of the internet.

If you are looking to use it for 5 years, I'd say go with Fairphone. They actually have a 5 year warranty and committed to providing software updates for 6 years. All other phones will lose support in 2 or 3 years, leaving you vulnerable to security vulnerabilities.

The police can confiscate your servers. Considering some states are treating abortion as murder, I don't think it's unrealistic to say the police could raid your home and confiscate your devices just on suspicion.

The only thing safe against that is an encrypted device locked with a password, no biometrics like fingerprints or face ID. As far as I know, you can refuse to give a password under the 5th amendment, but you can't refuse to unlock a device with a fingerprint reader or face ID.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein? The new Wolfensteins have quite a bit of story, but the old one is all skippable.

Light roast beans, ground fresh with a Timemore manual grinder, then brewed with an Aeropress using Hoffman's recipe.

Nothing I really want to change, this is pretty great. Although I've been eyeing the Flair manual espresso makers.

Have you tried the "numeric state" trigger? It lets you trigger an automation if one numeric entity is higher or lower than another one.

It's also an amazing way of duck-debugging. By the time you write down what the problem is, you'll figure out where's the issue or at least what you should try next.

"X is giving me an error, I checked X's logs. X communicates with Y... Oh, I need to check Y next!"

And if you can't figure it out, you have the problem and everything you tried documented so you can ask for help and get answers effectively.

ext4 on an mdadm raid. It works well enough, and supports growing your array.

Although if I rebuilt this from scratch, I would skip mdadm and just let minio control all the drives. Minio has an S3 compatible API, which I'd then mount into whatever apps need it.
