The one who hates immigrants, gays, and liberals? Might want to take a little closer look at your favorite character.

I develop infrastructure automation for one of the world’s largest private computer clusters.

I do it almost exclusively in Vim with command line git.

I’m the most productive member of my team.

Literally nothing you said was correct.

Get two external hard drives and swap them into a fire safe occasionally.

That way if there’s a need to evacuate you can just grab the fire safe and run.

I will accept no questions on this.

That’s a lot of questions, but I’ll try.

What do you do at a gym? Use dedicated equipment to lift weights and build strength, work with a coach to help set workouts, and workout with other people who have the same goals.

A gym membership can be a way to meet other people and build community. If you see the same 5 people regularly due to similar gym schedules, you might build some friendships.

Primarily a gym can become a place where you are expected to exercise, so you’re more likely to do it. If you have a treadmill and some dumbbells in your bedroom, your brain might not give you the motivation needed to use the equipment. You might hop on for 5 minutes, but then get distracted and stop using it. But if you traveled 20 minutes to a dedicated exercise location, then you’re much less likely to stop and leave right away.

So what do you do? Well, depends on what your goals are. Did you want to get healthier? Some cardio where you get your heart rate up improves your cardiovascular health. Lifting weights, can help build muscle and bone health, which would make it much less likely to be injured, and much more likely to recover from an injury quicker.

If you can motivate yourself to workout at home, and if you can find a good routine that meets your goals, you can certainly do that all at home, even without much equipment at all. The problem is, are you actually doing what you need to do, or are you just moving around and wasting time with little actual effect? A coach that knows what their doing would be able to help you actually use your time.

A Ghost Story is a wonderful movie

Powered off it uses almost twice the energy of my server.

That’s insane.

Have you met this friend in person? How confident are you this story is real?

BELOW absolute zero?

That makes things get real weird.

GNU isn’t entirely infinite though. After unpacking GNU is Not Unix 10^45 times, you actually find out what the final G is for.

Got a farm and fleet or a tractor supply near you?

I have Plex running alongside Jellyfin.

When transcoding video, Plex uses an extra 5 watts of power. Jellyfin uses an extra 55 watts.

Jellyfin also has security holes for accessing videos via URL without being authenticated.

I don’t feel like Jellyfin is ready for being exposed to the internet.

I had a 212j for about 10 years before I got a 720+.

The j series are so underpowered the dashboard took literal minutes to load.

The + series is extremely energy efficient, but still powerful. I was running a Plex server along with a Terraria server on it and had no hiccups.

Now they were designed nearly a decade apart, but still. The + series is the way to go, don’t get anything else if you go with Synology.

There’s no such thing as too simple to document. If you spent time learning how to install it, you’ll need to relearn it if you want to make any changes in the future. If you don’t leave at least some notes as to why you make some decisions, you’ll have to redo your work.

It’s also good to make notes on every configuration setting. That forces you to understand why the settings are the way they are. If you have a -f in a docker config and you don’t have any understanding of why that’s there, you might not know if it’s a development flag for getting things set up, or if it’s a critical part of your environment.

It is especially important if any of those parts are exposed to the public Internet. You might have a config set to allow unauthenticated connections and not know it.

As someone who lives solidly in corn maze country, this is a well used joke whenever the topic of corn mazes comes up. Which means I hear it about twice a week throughout the fall.

A lot of cars don’t include a spare tire anymore.

Last couple times I looked, it was more expensive to buy the oil and filter than to go to my local mechanic to get an oil change.

I appreciate that it’s good to know how to do these things, but it really seems like there’s no reason most people need to actually do them with a current model year vehicle.

Buy a paper map, or ask your car insurance agent for a free atlas.
