6·2 years agoAlso other personal things about him in general
7·2 years agoI’m closing in on 40 and I’ve had this mid-life crisis spell happen during the later part of COVID, 2020-2021. I love to write short stories and poetry, but with my “crisis” it became a burden to even think about putting thoughts down. Then this person comes into my life, we will call her Martha. I’m twice her age, her superior at work, and generally not someone I would talk to. But besides all that, we strike up a friendship. It’s weird at first, the age gap, the maturity level, and me the authority figure. But we connect somehow, and my writing returned. At first it is mostly about her, and these torrent of emotions that she drew out of me. Her personality, energetic, kind, and thoughtful helped invigorate my own life. Like a nurse pulling poison from a wound, I felt liberated after all this time. All because of her.
We eventually went our separate ways. We seldom talk anymore, but that friendship we made still helps me write. I think of her, and my inner voice sings to express itself. She is my muse but I’ll never tell her or say anything about it (maybe if we ever reconnect in the future). Martha has changed me and is my inspiration.

I am in 100% agreement with you. I’m kind of in the same mindset in figuring out my homelab setup. Still learning docker and how volumes work 😢 haha
I’m in academia but I like to tinker with tech. So when my students or co-workers are surprised that I know so much about tech and how to navigate around most computer systems and troubleshoot (Mac/Windows/Linux) they are perplexed. They ask why I didn’t major in tech. I tell them that I majored in what I loved (history) and play with tech as a hobby to relax.
It’s why I selfhost my own Lemmy server. Gives me something to do with my hobby, keeps me focused on what’s new in tech, makes me learn to keep up with docker, Linux, editing CRON tabs etc.
Someone should make a panel of Garak’s explanation of “The boy who cried wolf”. In which he explains meaning of the parable to Bashir that’s it’s not about “some one lying to much” but that “one should not say the same lie twice”

If you want to watch a burly man with dry humor try and fix a car, sight unseen, then drive it home over 300+ miles with questionable breaks and engine. Then this is you YouTube show for you. Recently he got picked up for a TV show but his past YouTube videos are really good. He recently moved to Tennessee from Wisconsin(?) but he still travels across the country finding old cars to bring them back to life.
It’s a great show to teach you the basics on getting an engine or car to run.
51·2 years agoI’ve been using Firefox on my MacBook for a decade. Near will look back to safari.
Jonathan Maberry, Joe Ledger series is a really good action, near future sci-fi, popcorn romp, style of fiction. It’s like Saturday morning cartoons (just sit and listen) combined with some good writing.
Even using searxng it comes up with Google & qwant show it as conservative. But allsides has it left leaning bias.
But I guess the line is: don’t consume interdenominational space creatures and use their life force to help skip decades off the journey.
I can feel that gold pressed latinum in upvotes slipping through my fingers

I remember when a reporter did a review of the Tesla back when they first started to get popular. They gave the reporter a loaner car to test and review it. Ended up giving it a bad review. But what stuck out the most was how much data Musk had on the vehicle/driver to try and discredit the story. From time the person used any of the devices, to video, and power % all remotely…
I’ve moved mine to both cloudflare and porkbun. Pretty easy, almost instant. Didn’t even cause my site to go down which was good.
The early days of Internet bullet boards and forums, that focused on one specific niche. Where I stumbled upon the posts from time traveler John Titor or TimeTravel_0. Good times reading those and becoming fascinated with the what if aspect of it all.
Big Nothing (2006) with Simon Pegg, Alice Eve, David Schwimmer…a train wreck of events that always makes me laugh when I watch it.
Firefox - bookmark side bar is still the only reason I can’t use chrome (besides issues with privacy et al)
Daniel…is that you? 🧐
