  Everyone’s different, but I come here for a quick casual reprieve from my day to day. Sometimes a more involved post or conversation will capture me, but the stars have to align. Right mood, right amount of free time (or lack of awareness of unfree time), right subject matter, presentation, etc.

  I like the idea of engaging in a sophisticated way, but social media taking a back seat is how I need my life to be, usually.

  That said, if you’re creating content, do it for the love of the game. You’re making a contribution to a movement separately from social media itself.

  Commodity hardware & open source software for the win.

  When my Western Digital NAS was never going to get critical security patches, I was so freaking glad to find out that they just used software raid… I threw them in a Debian server and never looked back.

  It’s certainly nice to have things that are turn-key, but if you can find your way around any OS, just avoid proprietary everything.

  I’ve had 2 multiple day power outages in the Milwaukee area, and 4 or 5 shorter ones over the past few years. It literally never used to happen.
