ITT a horde of people who don’t know that http is stateless. Cookies are the easiest and least intrusive way to maintain your session.

As a whitewater river guide, there are two groups that will never listen to you and make your day hell: Asians and Indians. Every time.

I ran rca jacks throughout the house. These are connected to a distribution amp. Then I have cheap PC speakers plugged into that from the main receiver. This is structured wiring so they can be changed to Ethernet if necessary.

Usually I listen to the news in the morning while showering.

Another way to do it is make dongles for unused phone jacks. Just make sure they aren’t plugged into the Telco as a landline.

Hitch and a trailer is how I deal with that with my Crosstrek.

I’m getting old and am a whitewater kayaker. You have to go where the water is which means a lot of long road trips and long weekends. Setting up and tearing down camp constantly wears you down. Now I pull in. Sleep. Can drive part way and sleep at a truck stop. Much nicer. Mine has the bed over the garage so bikes and snowboards can just live there all the time too. Most creek and freestyle boats fit inside too until I get around to putting the racks on. Then I’ll also have an awning and solar.

I keep my paid off subie around, but I do like driving the camp converted van around because I can just sit and relax without having to go all the way home.

Usenet and IRC were the good ole times.

I actually prefer generics. But because I’m a fat ass, I haven’t been keeping soda at the house.

It’s amazing for getting mildew funk out of towels. Also great at killing the funk in whitewater neoprene booties and bike helmets.

I wouldn’t use soap to flush my camper van’s water system either. A few runs of vinegar killed the plastic taste.

It’s powered by nuclear, probably not carrying nuclear warheads.

Yes please. None of those have anything to do with technology. I want to see some PM-esque posts in here.

Weak. You can easily jam IR by holding a button on another remote. No need to stand there with your hand over it.

Health insurance first please.

IT isn’t developers. What is really needed is a developer on your team, or somebody who at least knows how to lead the effort. I’ve been that guy.

Borg for local data backups to backup share on nas. Proxmox takes guest snapshots. Rclone all of that to rsync.net. bonus, Borg can use the rcloned remote, if necessary, directly.

No. Just leave it at the current summer setting.

Tidal for its seamless Plex integration.

• Sometimes “experts” suck. I’ve had 2 projects done to my house that need to be re-done, they were so bad. I would have been better off investing some time into learning to do it myself, which I now have to do anyway.
• Having experts do my camper van conversion would be ridiculously expensive. Same for buying pre-made things. There is a lot to learn about floor, insulation, wiring, charging, cabinetry, water, storage, etc. But learning that is one reason I’m doing it myself. Mistakes still don’t add up to even one piece that pre-fab or shop expert would charge. For example, a galley is about $1200 (sink, fridge cabinet). I built my own for ~$200 and got most of it done in one day.
• There are some experts I will trust. I trust one bike shop to do my shock service each year because frankly it’s a messy hassle for me to do it myself, and If I screw up, I buy a new $1000 fork. If they screw up, they buy it.

Programming languages that use white space to delimit structure are annoying at best. I get annoyed at yaml too, but I’m ok once I have a few templates set up.
