I get the sarcasm, and the downvotes, but I have always viewed my employer more of a customer. My product that I am selling is my time, passion and skill. So with that in mind, what can you bring to the table? What’s your skill set?

If you have a CDL or can get one, almost everyone is hiring. Company driver pay is generally in the $55k - $120k range. Though your first year or 2 will probably be less. Downside is you’re probably away from home a lot, and are held personally accountable for any damage you do. Literally, I could quit my current job, and be hired and getting payed by a new company within the week. Historically the average has been 2 days.

If that doesn’t float your boat:

I know of several towns within a 50 miles of me, that don’t have local electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs or even a handyman. You could charge as much as the traffic will bear.

Everyone in the local area is looking for every type of mechanic and can’t find them.

Nurses are always in demand (and very much not respected enough). Pays well too.

If you prefer working with Unions, the Boilermakers and Pipefitters will both train you. Both have more work than people last I heard.

Farmers and Garbage collectors both are having their help either deported or leaving the country, so they are probably hiring.

But ya, if you’re looking for a nice comfy office job, that would indeed be a tough row to hoe. Everyone wants the comfy jobs, so they’re scarce and the pay is shit. There is a reason I drive a truck.

The TSA workers have the same simple solution to a shit boss everyone else has. If the BS out paces the pay, walk away.

Probably not, but I doubt you, a random stranger on the internet, could cause more trouble than the current lot.

So take the downvote and we'll give it a go. 😂

I've always used NameCheap. Can't speak to their ethics, but customer support has been excellent the few times I've needed it.

Damn. That might be the most votes I’ve seen on any post, period.

I suspect the Linux kernel would support quantum first. Somehow I don’t see a multi billion dollar multinational moving fast enough to beat some caffeine addicted teen looking for street cred.

Before I grew enough spare capacity at home to self host our family’s server, I was using MCPro hosting. It was fine and at the time, cheap. I understand they’ve been bought by Apex now though. No experience with them.

Well crap. Knew it was coming but still.

Anyone know of a good weather service that doesn’t rely on NOAA?

Not OP but if I had to guess, probably Turnkey File Server.

When I was first playing with NC I was using a RPi3 with an external SSD for a drive. Performance was pretty good, but as soon as I tried the same setup in a VM, the performance tanked. The only way I found to avoid the performance penalty was a manual install like it was bare metal, which I didn't really want to do. My experience with such setups is that they tend to be brittle.

My understanding was that the performance penalty was caused by the chain of VMs. Proxmox --> Ubuntu VM --> Docker. I don't know enough about it to say for sure.

My NextCloud is running on an old desktop that's been repurposed into a server. The server is running Proxmox, and NC is running in docker directly on Proxmox using the nextcloud-aio image.

Found that had better performance than running it in a VM and was less headaches than the other install options.

I keep thinking about moving it to dedicated hardware, say some sort of mini pc, but it hasn't been a high priority for me.

Different folks, different strokes, different threat models.

This may answer your question: https://www.healthline.com/health/alcohol/how-long-after-drinking-can-you-drive

An asshole. Maybe a pervert. Definitely someone I’d block. Not every negative example of humanity needs a specific name.

So. Not my state, but I’m pretty certain that that might run foul of the US Constitution. Even with the current Supreme Court.

Possibly. On Reddit, it’s possible to take over a dead subreddit. I’m not sure how that would work here. Especially if the original server has died.

For S&Gs I did a search on Reddit asking basically the same question. Didn’t find an answer but I did turn up this post from 12 years ago tracing the history of Reddit. Thought it was interesting.

Really obscure stuff can be a bit of needle in a haystack. Some places you can try are Archive.org, YouTube, Usenet, and bittorrent (I have good luck on Pirate Bay, but YMMV).

I started running into the same problem about 2 years ago. Found a company called Send in Blue ( which has since been bought and is now called Brevo). They're a commercial mail sender but have a free tier. How long that will continue to be available, I don't know, but for now it solves my email sending issues.

Depends on the decade.
