How do you know which accounts are theirs?

Seems like a variant of Towers of Hanoi.

No more so than the athlete who wants to use hard work to win and doesn't want competitors to use hard work to win.

I visited Hungary a few years ago. It is my ancestral homeland. I learned a sliver of a fraction about Orban, how he came to power, and how he maintained it. I encourage you to do your own research.

From what I understand, once in power, he made it very difficult to lose power. Thus, I consider it fantastic news that he not only lost, but he didn't claim "fake news"/"stolen election."


Well, by the time you are hiring a dedicated infra role, you should be past the single VPS stage.


My point is that none of these coworkers have ever been at that stage. He was surprised about me hosting something because he seems to think hosting is expensive and for companies. Straight in at the top end of k8s and microservices


There's plenty of people that got a CS degree and went to work and this is only a job for them, they have no interest outside of work. Unfortunately I'm not one of those people so I get off work troubleshooting issues to troubleshoot issues at home lol though there aren't that many just my choice to self host cameras through HomeKit sometimes falls apart somehow but im also squeezing every KB or RAM out of that beelink I can.


Don't get me wrong I don't think a homelab is necessary, but I think people who have only done this in a big corporate environment are doing themselves a disservice - either a small company or a homelab can fix that itch, but like you say a lot of people don't have the interest


It's like a developer who went straight from knowing nothing about programming to JavaScript and never looked back. They missed C, they missed assembly, they missed cycle counting, they missed knowing what your memory footprint is at all times in your application, they missed keeping your inner loops tight and in the cache... It's not just "oh this person doesn't have a nerdy hobby." These are real skill holes in [many] developers' backgrounds, just like knowing how to host something on bare metal+OS is a real skill hole for some devops people.


This is more of the needle itself than it is what moves the needle. I was hoping for some analysis.


I'm not naive or sheltered, but this kind of reporting is useful. When I read about Israel bombing Beirut, I assume it is military targets with some civilian casualties.

It is very meaningful to see the "some civilian casualties" presented in this way. I don't even see it as an argument for or against Israel's strikes. It is simply a statement that this is the consequence of Israel's actions.

In particular, I appreciated reading a bit about what the victims did for a living and who they were. It helps me connect them to my personal experience.


Hello friend. I responded to your post and have thought about you since. Yet had you not referenced your post, I would not have made the connection.

It's too bad there's not a way to more easily recognize people on this site, a way to build more community.


Thank you! That’s so kind of you.

I’m pleased to report that the advice I got directly helped me feel optimistic about life again. The community is here, and I continue to be amazed by it. I’m grateful for you and everybody else who helped dig me out.

Feel free to shoot me an email. I was buried in dozens of emails last time (apologies if I missed anyone) but things are much slower now. Happy to hear from you or anyone else who wants to chat.


I wonder if it should include the sound of insects. Sigh.


Or songbirds.


I would think that the starting temperature and ambient temperature are controlling. Boiling water is three times ambient temperature. 150°F is twice ambient temperature.

The exponential decay is obvious because he started the readings at boiling. If he had started at 150°F, it might not have been as obvious that the readings were on an exponential curve.

Is that right? I didn't get much sleep and don't drink coffee. Lol
