Isn’t this called stolen valor?

In interviews, they said this was intentional

But you’re preventing the obligatory comment about paywalls!

I got beat up by a guy twice my size who was just in a pissy mood. “Participated in a fight, in school suspension”

My setup is an old Dell Wyse thin client and 4 external USB drives. The thin client is basically silent. The drives only make sound when they’re active, and spin down when idle. The thin client has an Intel CPU with QuickSync so it can even transcode with Plex. For data redundancy between the hard drives, I use lsyncd to make a poor man’s mirror setup.

Works great. Lives in a cabinet in my living room.

Some press statements and hand wringing, no action.

And in 10 years they’ll agree to a small website that suggests that maybe Europe might want to open a place to store source code that’s European hosted… In another five years.

Fully work from home. I start late on Mondays and Thursdays because I have Dutch lessons in the morning. I usually work from my small home office, or sometimes sitting on my sofa or rarely at a cafe. I don’t usually have meetings on Mondays or Fridays and log off at around 5:30. On Tuesday through Thursday, I often work until around 7:00 in order to have virtual meetings with coworkers in other timezones. Most days, I skip breakfast or have something light, and opt for an early lunch (sometimes that’s breakfast food).

Outside of meetings, I use an automated time management tool to block off times for certain tasks so that I don’t forget to do them daily. The rest of the time is deep work, hopping from project to project. My work is done in 2 week intervals, and I usually accomplish 15-20 project tasks per interval. During the day, I frequently field random notifications to myself or my team in channels on our comm tool. During deep work time, to keep my brain from falling apart, I tend to put on a comfort show or something not too engaging. A large chunk of my work is also stakeholder management, talking people away from metaphorical cliffs that will hurt the business.

I’m running at 120% at all times. My brain is mush at all times. I’m deeply burned out.

Stocks of these firms have dropped. Trump and friends will now buy up the stocks. Then the statement will be rolled back, the policy will never be implemented, and Trump and friends will sell the climb.

Typical grifting and corruption in America these days.

Americans will never take the action necessary to remove bad politicians who are destroying their lives. Never. The politicians will allow them to vote, only because they can manipulate the narrative during elections using excessive campaign contributions, making the public blame their neighbors instead of the corruption at the top.

Now that I live in a dense urban city, the number of nodes is wild.

I have a lot of obscure interests, but not as obscure as yours.

• Finding former Pizza Huts in North America. It’s just such an iconic building design. There’s a documentary out now on them, but I’ve been fascinated for almost a decade now.

• Meshtastic

• John le Carré novels. He was huge decades ago, but basically nobody knows the name now besides Boomers and genre fans.
