How do I catch more trout? Should I switch to an ultralight fast action rod from my medium-light medium action rod? Do I need more braided line or should I just wait until I run out of this spool?
Should I be targeting bigger fish? How can I be sure they are there and what do I use to target them?
Do I care about catching fish, really, or do I just enjoy being out in nature, away from the office, and playing in the water?
I honestly didn’t know albatrosses use fishing rods. I kinda thought you just five into the water and use your beak. TIL!
How the world seems to be more and more fucked up every single day and how the vast majority of us simply don’t seem to care. Climate change, corporations quickly becoming the new States, politicians who just lie and lie with no consequences, AI being viewed as the magical cure-all for all these problems when really it’ll just make bad decisions easier to justify, and most of all, how people seem to view everyone else around them with more and more suspicion which eliminates even the faint hope we have of working together to solve some of these. Idk, take your pick, they all have the potential to be the death of us
I feel you in a big way, but to be totally fair: corporations becoming states has probably trended towards the better from a zoomed-out perspective, and political leaders lying all the time has probably only become more visible than ever.
The entities that were doing all the colonialism for the past several hundred years have been private companies, and they did huge amounts of slavery and genocide. Blackwater is bad, but the East India Company was worse. This is not to say that things are good now, only that they aren’t like worse than they’ve ever been.
And I think the present day has a greater expectation of political leaders being accountable to the people they govern than most of history. Back in the days of monarchs and oligarchs, there was no mass media to tell everyone they were lying and no likely consequences for the liars even if there were.
Again, I empathize a huge amount with what you’ve said & I am also disappointed that the world we’ve created isn’t better than it is. I just personally think that the above two are trending in a more optimistic direction, even if they’re still objectively pretty bad.
Goddamn amen; the same exact things you expressed precisely my thoughts!
My mortality! Hit 45 this year and it kinda feels like it’s all downhill from here.
Health is ok but that seems tenuous as I’m pretty out of shape so I feel like I’m not “set up” yet to be a healthy older person. When something does go wrong I’m not sure if I should worry about getting it treated or just live with it.
It seems futile to learn new skills and such since I’m not sure about the payoff (ROI).
Family/kids/job/money are all pretty great so I don’t have anything to complain about, but I’m still kind of feeling like I’m about to crest the hill of life and want to ensure I’m making the best of it and prepared for my eventual demise.
I don’t want to die! I really like being alive and kind of wish I had immortality (with a safety kill switch of course so I don’t have to endure the heat-death of the universe or get stuck inside a star somewhere lol)
I already hit 50 and been in similar thoughts. It sucks just that you start thinking about it.
Whether or not I should trade in my drum kit into an E drum kit. Idk… Midi interfacing would be great. Plus the amount of different kits I could build or use just by downloading. Is it worth it?
Do it. Dad used to have essentially a replica of Neil Pearts setup, while cool as he’ll to look at, it’s a pain in the ass to maintain and it annoys the shit out of anyone nearby.
Once he made the switch 10 years ago to a Roland mesh E Kit, the entire houses demeanor relaxed. Plus it doesn’t take up an entire room, and you can swap sounds on the fly.
Real kits are nice for live or jamming out sometimes, but you’ll get infinite more use out of the Ekit
Well lemmy, I did it. I bought a Roland TD17-kvx. Thanks for helping me make this decision. Haha, I’m so excited.
Uh, I think so, Brain, but we’ll never get a monkey to use dental floss.

Whether I should try to land a spaceplane on Laythe or put a rover on Eeloo.
Both will be about the same difficulty, but the latter will be more useful on other planets and moons.

I’ve been pondering why so many people treat this community like asklemmy lol
No question shaming!
Bamski is a Lemmy regular, he should know better!
I’ve been trying to decide the best “lazy” way to make homemade dark chocolate peanut butter cups. Typically, you would have a mold and put a bit of melted chocolate in the bottom of each mold and then use a brush to paint chocolate up the sides and then put it in the fridge to solidify and then put the peanut butter fudge in each one and then dump more chocolate on top and then wait for that to solidify and then pop them all out. But… I think I can maybe just dip each one in chocolate and let it solidify in the mold? Less steps means I can make more cups and then I can have a large supply to last me longer. But maybe then there won’t be enough chocolate on the PB cup? Maybe I don’t need that many PB cups in my life? But the ones I buy right now are super expensive and this would save me some money 🤷
How to best approach starting secops in a small indie gamedev studio. We don’t even have a sysadmin, and our boss mostly also does most of our infra together with one of the programmers.
We would love to start setting up some basic security setup, ideally FOSS based, and while I work there as a programmer, I do have 5 years of experience working as pentester and doing red teamings, so I kind of have an idea about what we could have. But I never did anything from blue team side, and also worked for large corporations, so most of the tools and solutions I’ve encountered are waaay over the budged of 20 man indie gamedev studio.
How would I even start? Are there any frameworks that would help but arent aimed at large corporations? What of the buzzwords we even need? Do I start with hardening group policies, get rid of local admins, then set up some kind of log management/SIEM, then IDS? And it’s so hard to google for, because every blog post I found is just a disguised ad for a company that does Security as a Service. Why isn’t there some kind of easy 10 step program that would tell you “step 1. Harden configuration. Step 2. Install <one of many security tooling acronyms>.”
I vaguely know that most of the buzzwords that are thrown around have some dependencies, but what? Does IDS needs logs from SIEM, or is it the other way around? I’m obviously not qualified for this, but i dolid get time to research it, and some DIY attempts is definitely better than having no security in place at all. And, I know very well how to actually hack and test our security setup, so I can at least tell if something I’ve done is shit or useless :D
Honestly, how to evaluate stocks for my first individual share purchases. I’ve only ever had more-or-less passive funds investments.
It’s all a bit overwhelming.
Buying individual stocks is a fools game for non-UHNI (poor) people. Keep your more-or-less passive funds investments, like low-fee mutual funds and index funds.
If you want more retirement money, it’s far better to spend the time to in yourself (skill upgrading/job upgrading) than it is to worry about trying to bet on individual investments. If you’re putting away 10% of your income per year into your retirement savings, you can double your retirement savings by increasing your job salary by 10% and then just putting all of the extra away too. Getting a 10% increase in your salary is a lot easier than picking a stock or stocks that will going to go up twice as much as the overall market.
I hear the apes over at WallStreetBets know a thing or two.
One might even call them Reddit Experts in a not-at-all-astriturfed community.
But why would the darn thing be wandering?
How much to put away for retirement. When will my wife and I get to retire? Is it worth a little pain now while we’re in our 30s and 40s and parents of a baby? Or will I be denying us experiences while we’re… well, not YOUNG, but at least moderately able bodied?
where should i buy a house? i haven’t even narrowed down the country, yet.
I’d go for scandiavia, if I could choose anywhere. Or Island, working for CCP is my dream job.
I have a viridian green oil paint. Should I buy another green color and if so, which one?
