if you made 500K/year and now can't make ends meet then god help you

I used to code Win32 around the Win 95/98/2000 era (my first VC++ was 1.0 for 16bit) but switched to BSD and Linux around 2000 and haven't looked back. I avoid Windows as much as possible and did learn about .NET and how slow it was but I'm a bit shocked that Win32 is still a thing and still being recommended. Sort of makes me happy and sad at the same time...

MacOS only it would appear. Would have loved to try this with my obsidian vault for where I can't use electron.

Interesting post timing. At the airport lounge before a long int'l flight and in preparation I'm installing bottles + homm3 GOG + HOTA.

While I played and wholeheartedly commend the developers' effort in making VCMI I still prefer the original + HD/HOTA.

I'd argue Ruckus APs are much better than Ubiquiti's

Agreed. I run my OpenBSD firewall on my odroid h4 - it's relatively cheap and plenty powerful to route gigabit+. I prefer pf and the simplicity of OpenBSD over Debian for such a purpose-built application. For my other "home servers" I simply run Debian as I believe it to be one of the more sane Linux choices for a server-type application.

Wonder if there is a good remote with voice input to use for YouTube and Kodi so I can replace my shield TV.

Looks like an AS/400

Another message of hope for anyone struggling with the possibility of having tinnitus:

I may not be able to fully recount all the factors but I believe my ears may have had some residual fluid after recovering from covid (my covid symptoms were entirely unpleasant and impacted me differently in many ways). Before my ears cleared up, I took a domestic flight where I actually got vertigo for a few 10s of seconds on ascent. My ENT believes my eardrum expanded to touch the inner ear.

The following day I went to a gun range and did skeet shooting for a couple of hours then shot really big guns and sniper rifles. The earplugs I brought myself were likely not adequate and taking them out and putting them in repeatedly in relatively cool weather likely didn't provide the best seal either.

That night or the next day I noticed lots of ringing in my ears and I started to become worried when it was still there even after a week. The worst was being in silent meeting rooms at work where it was most noticeable. It was extremely depressing and I nearly lost all hope.

I visited 2 separate ENTs and each just sent me re-take my yearly hearing test. They didn't really provide any comforting words other than to take the test and wear hearing protection, etc..

Before the hearing test (~2 weeks after the gun range and flights) I explained everything to the audiologist and he said "Lots of people have various degrees of tinnitus/ringing, just don't think about it. I have it and that's what I do. Don't let it bother you and live your life."

Interestingly enough, my audio test came back better than the previous 10 year results and since then I just don't think about it. If I do I can certainly hear it. My only personal takeaway is that the brain and body are very complex and have an arsenal of mechanisms to deal with trauma and that for this particular instance I've been very lucky.

I like jj and would just switch over to it but I'm too reliant upon certain workflows fugitive provides. I hope to see a good neovim plugin someday.

Where are you seeing 8TB (assuming you meant TB and Tb) for $300?

Will need to try this in a terminal but on initial glance it looks similar to terminus (a font I've been trying to find a replacement for for over 20 years....)

Also realized this when trying to get terminus to work. I like the simplicity of foot in wayland and st/alacritty in Xorg. I wish I could find a terminus replacement and I do give it a few hours each year but still haven't had any luck...

Any particular reason for remote access via wg and not via syncthing? I'm also curious how you access it via wg on Android?
