At the end of the day, it is what it is: to move the needle through a paradigm shift, we need to think outside the box, be proactive, pick the low-hanging fruit, get our ducks in a row, go back to the drawing board, and finally address the elephant in the room.

That movie gave me PTSD

Even on a shoestring budget you can get far. My equipment:

10 euro ‘grinder’ 30 euro moka pot (bialetti) Decent beans (segafredo, lavazza) about 10 euro per kilo (on offer), lasts my family about a month.

I like late macchiato, which in my case is about 2 thirds milk heated in the micro, 1 third coffee.

I know the above will horrify real coffee enthusiasts, but I can tell you it’s a lot better than starbucks, and a lot cheaper too.

Not OP, but I do that with wireguard.

I did this about a year ago, and started with tailscale. But for some bizarre reason, tailscale would cause my entire internet connection to drop. I had the internet provider come out 5 times to fix it, i got a new router twice, they even checked for cable problems between my house and the neighbourhood switch. All to no avail. I would lose internet connection several times a day until i would reboot my router. I then found someone on their forum mention that tailscale was causing problems, so i turned it off. The problems stopped. I found no way to mitigate this.

I ended up running wireguard, which works great for me, but does have a bit of a learning curve. I have rented a tiny cloud server which is the central hub, and all of my services run in podman with their own wireguard config. I run my own dns for the lacal domains. It took me a bit of effort, but is now running very stable.

but the gaslighting stops now Am I the asshole?

Yes, yes you are

I do the same. I have a real domain and certbot does a dns challenge. It was a little fiddly and took a moment to figure out, i think that was because i couldn’t gat caddy to work, but traefik worked a charm. Self signing is more complex i think because you’ll need to accept the root in every client (browsers especially?), which is even more fiddly.

That lady has a great voice for a punk band

If I’m the only one doing it then I’d prefer to stick with sqlite. But the reality is that everyone I work with does these kinds of things in excel, and it’s a shitshow. Yes, u could say ‘don’t blame the tool’, but it’s ms shoving it down our throats and they could’ve done much better with the time they had.

I get that. But it’s a case that’s just so incredibly common. Tagging/categorization. We end up with multiple columns like ‘cat 1’, ‘cat 2’, etc. Or doing pivot tables. I guess to me there’s pretty much always something that can do the job better, but the reality is that in the corporate setting I operate in everybody uses Excel.

Excel is such an incredible piece of shit. There’s many reasons to hate it for me, but what i hate the most is not being able to do relationships in any meaningful way. So often i need to have one to many relationships and this garbage makes it impossible. Data consistency? Nope. Opening a csv? Fuck you! Why the fuck are there online tools that are better at this shit? You had 40 years ffs. No amount of AI is going to fix this turd. God I hate Excel.

Dankjewel.

Yes, that’s exactly what I meant. When you arrive to someone’s birthday it’s common to go around, shake everyone’s hand and congratulate them (with Rita’s birthday). Or just do a wave when you enter and collectively congratulate everybody.

Congratulate everyone with someone else’s birthday. Netherlands.

You do see the problem, right?

Yes, you’re it.

Correct. I used to use the same key combo to switch virtual desktops on my Ubuntu install way back when and when on Windows my muscle memory would result in screen rotating all the time

I haven’t had it in a while, but I was obsessed with Lekker Bekkie Mango Chutney, from Surinam. Not exactly chilli sauce, as its more chunky, but so good. Very tasty, very spicy. I’ve been thinking about this for the past days, gonna get it tomorrow 😀

Lately we’ve been mostly making our own chili. We use chili de arbol seco. Nice because we can make it spicy to taste. I boil some water, put a couple tomatoes to take the skin off, add about 15 chili’s. Then transfer the chili’s and tomatoes to a food processor. Add a splash water, a small piece of onion, and a bit of salt, and process. Actually I put the onion after processing the tomatoes and chillies so the onion can be bit chunky. Its a simple recipe, but very good. Can add a clove of garlic optionally.

Last store bought we got were cholula and one from la morena, they’re not too bad, but I like it a bit spicier.

That reads like Dutch to me. Perfect! I’ll be fine.

I do this too. Took me a little effort to set things up, but now its so easy.
