Updating my iPad to iPadOS 26 for a native pdf viewer that doesn’t suck as much as the Files app. Probably going to regret it.

@AndrasGerlits People who are atheist AND believe we live in a simulation, are creationist atheists. 😹

So I've been rebuilding my home server. I was full docker before. Ive moved to LXC's for funsies I will say setting things up with Tofu and Ansible has been a joy. I just finished up my son and I's Minecraft server which was a nice little challenge on the Ansible side of things

Ya know. I say all the time I said I moved to the sticks because I like being able to leak off my back porch. In reality I just like to sit on the porch and have a cup of coffee and listen to the world wake up.

Sometimes, I have brain farts. Tonight, was that night. Apparently you cannot calculate a Googolplex with Python3. Even if it just for 'Funsies"

If you'd asked me 3 months ago (before having my position eliminated at my place of employment) if I was burned out, I would have told you absolutely not. There's no way. I'm just overworked and underpaid. Can confirm. I was burned out.

“…make sure you’re thoroughly wiping…” Conversations with my kids and conversations with my co-workers are starting to blur.

The longer I'm on this earth, the more I realize that integrity is everything. It's not something you should strive for, it's the thing that drives you. Commit or don't, but stick to your decision either way. Sure, opinions can change, but commitments shouldn't.

My lot in life seems to be repairing kitchen chairs... Do they make chairs that don't fall apart anymore?

Installed Server 2025 "Headless" today (No desktop experience) This is not what I expected. At all. Why does it load into a CMD Window... Why do half of the options in SConfig launch a GUI? Why does this exist? Where's my TTY? Just why?
