I almost bought a house at the end of AGC. We ran the numbers and watched a bunch of planes land. It seemed cool, until we visited at night. There are lights that flash directly on a house until well after 11pm. It lit up the entire neighborhood. Nope. We looked at typical arrivals and departures…5am till 2am. Unless you love pulsating lights and flight noises, the cost to own near an airport end isn’t worth it.

git pull default branch. Create local branch. Make change. Commit. Test. Remove quotes. Commit. Test. Add quotes back. Commit. Test. Google quotes. Remove quotes. Commit. Test passes. Rebase to default branch and squash. Push branch and MR. Ignore peer review policy and approve MR. Repeat!

I have had nothing but problems with nvidia and linux. That alone is a big nope for me.

Should, but won’t. History tends to repeat itself.

It will make a few very rich without returning any tangible value to consumers.

There is a saying my dad often reminds me of: “It is far easier to find a job when you have one than when you don’t”. I felt exactly as you did. I weighed similar scenarios as you. I had a former manager continually remind me to start looking while I could. The saying my dad often told me holds true. You have time to think. You have time to say no to offers. You have less in the game to say yes right away. You value yourself more and can leverage that knowledge when negotiating. When you leave or are left, there is a desperation that wiggles in and may lead you to pick something you might have otherwise said no to. I was very unhappy where I was. I now work with an awesome group of people, I am challenged and I am making significantly more than I initially thought I was worth. I only learned that after getting multiple interviews and offers.

Cooking, woodworking, blacksmithing, pottery, home renovations, biking, hiking, kayaking, and reading are ones I frequent. I’m willing to give anything a try once when it comes to extra curricular.

Vaguely explained how version 1 & 2, 3 & 5, work then says version 4 is what you probably want, but doesn’t explain how and kind of why. It feels like a cliffhanger.

Don’t believe that, please. Medical equipment used for ventilation and sleep apnea contain foam that blows carcinogenic fumes and bits of carcinogenic foam directly into your lungs: https://www.usa.philips.com/healthcare/e/sleep/communication...

As someone who lives near Pittsburgh with a reasonable salary and knows what Silicon Valley/NYC salaries are usually, I am not that upset about it.

I don't ever consider my primary house an investment. I purchased and put money into projects that allowed me to live in the house. Usually, housing markets are stable enough that at the very least you are either breaking even, making some moeny or at the worst losing a little money to when selling the house. Despite maybe losing some money, consider the overall amount you spent. If done right, you should have at least lived rent free.

There are downsides to owning. Bad stuff happens and you are on the hook for it. A furnace can cost a pretty penny. Water damage is messy, expensive and hard to repair. If you aren't handy, renovations are costly. Even if you are handy, renovations often cost more than planned and take WAY longer than you might want. I wound up doing a lot of punch list work as I was getting ready to sell my first house. I spent years living with my imperfect, incomplete work.

Consider this, though: renting is as bad as leasing a car. There is no financial benefit long-term. That money is gone and you will have no real leverage from that rental to put towards your next adventure. Not even the security deposit with interest will cover the overall cost of renting for a year, though you may get it back with a little interest. You will have spent a significant amount in rent over the time you lived there, more than that deposit + interest is worth.

You do have some benefits (maybe). You aren't responsible for renovations or equipment failure. Hopefully you have a landlord that is responsible and willing to quickly repair that furnace in the dead of winter. You aren't as tied to a location long-term. When the contract is up, you can leave immediately. You don't have money tied up in a house that may not sell at the same time you are looking to purchase.

Ultimately I was able to walk away with a chunck of change for my next house, if I calculated it out, I likely broke even or lost a little money over renovations and interest, but I didn't lose all those payments over 5 years to rent.

Relying on goodwill works until that goodwill stops. Store your images locally at least as a backup, but it has other advantages.

Did you get my copy of draft-propsal-final-joe(bob3)-2020-05-01.2020-01-05(5).PDF.final.txt.zip in the last email thread? You know. The one that has a different subject than this email.

I am not a fan of it either, but it's a scenario that you will eventually run into the longer you are at it. At some point you have to cut your losses. Part of that is deciding what the personal investment has cost you over time versus moving on to the next thing and striving to learn when there is no sane way forward.

The danger is that you may start to look for a point of no return when there are still paths forward. It's easy to develop bad habits that make this a more common scenario than it really should be. I don't know the answer to this, other than to make sure you aren't the problem. It requires constant, honest assesment from yourself, and (perhaps just as important) from others.

I'll let Dan Walsh explain it https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/rootless-podman-nfs

In short, you don't remap when running as root in the container, thus no uid/gid remapping.

That's an acceptable workaround. Just remember the containers aren't available on NFS and thus other systems.

I've been following podman for rootless containers. It works fairly well on Fedora. RHEL 8 works, but has older version of packages compared to Fedora.

There are some fairly well documented shortcomings to consider/work-around. You can find that list at https://github.com/containers/libpod/blob/master/rootless.md

Curios how the benchmark compares when adding SSD on RPI 4? https://jamesachambers.com/raspberry-pi-4-usb-boot-config-gu...

I don't think it beats anything, but I am sure IO improves fairly significantly.

One of the things I found to be a problem is that most container images found on different registries are built for x86_64. You would need to rebuild those containers yourself on the RPI.

I am waiting for the connection to urbit. It's gotta be there somewhere....
