  I would like to point out that Cyberpunk 2077 was announced in the same year as Star Citizen was announced (2012). I don’t know much about anything but being bankrolled for 13 years and not having a completed product must be nice.

  6 - Drugs

  IDK Its weird how a lot of rich and powerful are all closet drug addicts. Like you got the funds and resources to turn your self into an Adonis amongst people. You got the funds to go skydiving daily, flying in experimental aircraft, learning how to do some James Bond level driving maneuvers, or train to go all John Wick on a shooting course. Yet a lot go, “hold my beer gonna get some nose candy”

  Like come on, am I missing something or are these people terribly boring? Where are the mega wealthy ones that wake up to have breakfast in a hot air ballon, followed by Horse Polo, followed by fencing lessons from an olympic champion?

  Dude, top ten expositions of all time. Up there with the importance of pizza delivery.

  I mean say what you want, but thats legit how new tech is being developed right now. My favorite book is Cryptonomicon. It came out in 1999, But the premise was that the main characters were going to build a currency backed on cryptography. There was even a side story in the book where one of the man characters is looking for a specific investor who is obsessed with trading cards. The main character sells the investor on the idea by saying how the technology could easily be adapted for distributing digital trading cards.

  The dude basically predicted Bitcoins and the rise of NFTs in 1999.

  Lol, Interestingly enough. The hacker who steals the book realizes that each copy he makes can’t have a ractor so he substitutes it with a computer generated voice. I distinctly recall him acknowledging that it’s not as personal as a ractor but is adequate enough for the purpose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨30% of South Korean schools have adopted AI-powered digital textbooks since the country's education ministry began a full-scale rollout in March 2025⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyday we get closer to the book The Diamond Age by Neil Stephenson where the main character has stolen from him a book he created called, “A Young Ladies Illustrated Primer” The thief turns out to be a hacker and mass produces copies of the book for orphans.

  The book itself is an AI that assess the users surroundings and intelligence level before creating stories that are relevant to the user that also educates them.

  I can see this being a net positive if done correctly. But I don’t think the tech is there yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the benefits of procurement software in a growing business setup?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you talking about an ERP system like SAP? If so it’s all about data collection of business operations. Sure you make some no brainer decisions to do things that are practical but it always devolves into “how much did this improve the bottom line?” You start to get data on what business has the highest margins in sales and what products are proving to be a PITA to the bottom line due to customer support eating through labor.

  spreadsheets are good but you start hitting walls when the company expands. Suddenly Purchasing managers are making entries to a file, but simultaneously works in production are changing the same file to reflect what they consumed in production. You then start auditing things and don’t know what the QTY row numbers mean. Is that actual inventory? Is that a mix of inventory on order? does this reflect what the production consumed today? if so when?

  It gets messy without the right tools when the company scales.

  I mean, if they are gonna get rid of it, I will take one for free. Free EV is a free EV if it breaks down 5 days later then I am in the same situation I was before getting the truck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Come to say thank you. Time to move from proprietary to Open Source⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure, currently have 8 nodes and 40 apps running

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Come to say thank you. Time to move from proprietary to Open Source⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Use tailscale for host nodes, use tailscale docker container in a compose stack with an app that you sidecar to. That way that app is on your tailnet as if it is its own computer. Use tailscale serve for reverse proxying support of the apps. Then, setup a vps node (I use linodes $5 node) with tailscale and configure that to be your DMZ into your tailnet.

  For DMZ, use Caddy, UFW, and fail2ban. Also take advantage of ACLs in the Tailscale admin console to only have the VPS able to route traffic to specific apps you want to expose. My current project is to work in Authelia into this setup so a user logs into one exposed app and is able to traverse to other exposed apps through header / token authentication.

  Oh also, segment the tailnet using different authentication keys. Each host node should have its own key, all the apps on a host node should have a shared key, and all public facing clients should have a common shared key. That way in case of compromise you can revoke the affected keys without bringing down your network.

  When you end up having a mini homelab look into komo.do for container orchestration over the overkill options like kubernetes or portainer

  And unbelievably expensive, and unbelievably good at regulating an A1C.

  Now if you excuse me, I am gonna go and break down crying to the insurance rep about how Ozempic is way better than metformin at not making me shit my pants. I swear I am not making excuses just to lose weight. (Please someone, stop the madness, if I can get semiglutides that doesn’t make you lose weight but regulates my A1C I would be so happy)

  Less infrastructure erosion from roots? Integration into places like above ground parking spaces? Hell could you imagine integrating them into bridge underpasses or walk ways? Heck make a semi destructible version and use that for crash bollards. Only a level 5 vegan is going to complain if some allege is spilt.

  Its a highly interesting scenario. If that happens South California would be hosed if it didn’t immediately invade southern AZ to secure water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How the world is catching up to and surpassing California’s clean tech sector⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  California is like that one child that wants to move out of their small town and go to a big university to get a STEM degree. Their parents (the federal government) don’t see the point in it since California can always stay in the small town and work at the coal mine which offers a high paying job. Long story short most kids don’t make it to that university and leave that small town trap.

  Seems like we are seeing that happen with California. Trying really hard but got no support from the “parents”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do office workers actually do?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Engineer here. You’re salaried but treated like an hourly employee. You get paid to work 40 hours a week but get “told” that working less than 45-50 hours a week makes you a slacker. Your exempt which means you don’t get a mandatory 30 minute unpaid lunch or a paid 15 minute break every 4 hours. Vacation time is normally unlimited but requires manager approval so if you get the old “boomer” type that drank the corporate cool aid, good luck getting any more than 2 weeks worth approved regardless of years at company.

  Sorry I digress, My job starts at 8:00 but I slide in to the daily standup at around 8:10. No one notices or cares. Afterwards, I get a cup of coffee, catch up on vital correspondence and questions from overseas coworkers. It’s sometime between 8:30 and 9:45 That I realize the Bangalore Software team sent out an emergency meeting at 11PM last night for 5AM This morning. “Oh well” I think to myself and sip on my coffee catching up on what I missed. Turns out one of them forgot to plug in a machine. They crack me up.

  From 9:45 to 10:00, I have conditioned my body to take a shit. I time it for exactly 10 minutes. My second one is precisely times for between 4:00PM and 4:15PM. I figure those two times are freebies to my 9.5 hour forced work schedule. Upon returning, from my “break” I begin to actually work.

  I design things using CAD software cool stuff. I am content by 10:10AM I have my headphones on, I am doing what I actually went to school for. I begin to think this is entirely worth all the other stuff I put up with. I get in the zone and time flies.

  Its, 10:25AM. There was an emergency on the production floor. They tell me its a problem they have never seen before. They assure me they have taken all the proper diagnostic steps have been taken and I need to look at whats wrong to prevent a line stop.

  I think, “its go time” I follow the techs down to the line and start diagnosing the problem. In no time at all, I find that they never checked the test wiring despite that being like in the first 5 steps of diagnosing a problem. I head back to my desk. Its 2PM by now, I microwave my lunch and work through it. Distractions happen maybe I get an accumulated total of an hour or two of design work done before its 6PM and I head home.

  Yup…… You could tell me to switch jobs but every company I work for in my line of work is just like this.

  Consider me sold. But for the love of everything, please update Thunderbird to natively have “start at system startup” , “minimize on startup”, “close to minimize”, and “minimize to tray” features. I know there are extensions for them but they are fickle getting them to play nicely with each other and temperamental depending on which linux distro and desktop you use.

  Not as impossible sounding. I mean I would never attempt it but you might be able to get away with it using a stencil, solder paste and one of those fancy toaster ovens with a broil setting. ROI would suck since you are probably gonna fail the first couple of times.
