Youtube has helped me save on so many home repairs. 400 service calls become a 30 part and an afternoon of taking the dryer apart with video guides.
I’m a self taught child of the 80s that loved to mess around with basic and serial modems when I could finally get 1.
Honestly, I got my first job by low balling the salary and knowing my shit enough to answer questions.
After 1 year I went to a new position paying double. And so on and so forth.
+1 for CMK. It’s built on nagios. Been using it for decades. That shit is rock solid and has never let me down.
Prometheus is metrics and grafana reports it. IMHO, better reporting and graphing, better eye candy. But also harder to setup and get right.
CMK agent works on 95% of what you want with just the agent.
I always go for Linux desktop at a job. Office 365 runs just fine in a browser. Not ideal, but MS will never give up teams to a Linux Installer again. They took down the 1 they had which wasn’t great but still worked
I bought a RoboGrip, self adjusting wrench, maybe 35 years ago a a Sears iirc. One of the best tools I ever brought and still going strong.
Thunderbird. Hate the redesign. If it ain’t broke dont fix it.
K9 for phone
I still have pgp signs, but no one has used it to encrypt back to me in years. Don’t know why I keep those on there and active
I use it on reclaimed hardware … Works great for me. Has all the features you’d want for a home lab, and I run a few production hosts there as well
Didn’t they at one point use a bank of PS3s when they still allowed for Linux boot options?
Bash, zshell, BusyBox…you don’t really need anything else
I have a rack in my garage.
My advice, keep it simple, keep it virtual.
I dumpster dove for hardware and run proxmox on hosts. Not even clustered, just simple stand alone proxmox hosts. Connect to my Synology storage device and done.
I run next cloud for webDav contacts and calendar (fuck Google), it does photo and do. Storage. The next client is free from F-Droid for Android and works on debian desktops like a charm.
I run Minecraft server
I run home automation server
I run a media server.
Proxmox backs everything up on schedule
All I need to do is get off-site backup setup for Synology important data and I’m all set.
It’s really not as hard as you think if you keep it simple
Oh ya, I remember that. Luckily all issues are gone. Wifi is stable
The Starks have joined the chat
The problem with 6 is that the play mode is too structured… Especially early on. Theres not much room for custom play… Every game takes on the same form. Civ 4 was the best in series
In Florida, anything under 78 F and 50% humidity is just lovely
If information is ever subject of a subpoena, your phone could be seized as evidence… OS separation doesn’t matter. Just like you wouldn’t check corporate email or keep corp documents on your personal laptop…because your laptop could be seized for any corp legal action
Don’t mix business and personal.
Don’t Install any corp app on a personal phone. No matter what.
It’s great. We already set it up and worked without issues
