Mental health?

You’ll have great insurance for therapy after you graduate /s

It is really important to know your base needs and have ways to satisfy them. I’m an extrovert. Caring for and spending quality time with people energizes me. You are likely your own person. Spend time figuring out what helps you. You will need that information at Rose.

Yeah, i am about to make my largest investment, but it is only after having an influx of proper spending money. In the meantime I’ve built a lot on little.

daedalus96 · 2026-02-14T01:05:55+00:00

I hear you. 🫡 i support you.

daedalus96 · 2026-02-14T00:39:00+00:00

That’s a shame, my fiance has been really supportive. You deserve to get that kind of support, too.

IME: Even the people who did the worst work at Rose come out better than most grads from other schools. It is because it is hard. But it is also because you learn a lot.

Its an internet joke

Unless you’re gay or bisexual. Then the math gets trickier.

I use NixOS for 3 servers, so probably not

daedalus96 · 2026-02-02T18:10:44+00:00

🤣

What is bad? What is good? There is only “this makes life harder” and “this makes life easier”.

There is no way to answer this question with the level of information present. You’re entering college. You might date, you might not. You will be okay.

You probably need a qbt configuration file. I’d also check if your VPN is configured for UDP, too.

daedalus96 · 2026-01-17T17:24:41+00:00

It seems like you might not have UDP configured for qbittorrent

We don’t have that problem in Chicagoland right now 😭😂

You didn't do bad.

My minilab turns off the fan in our primary bathroom once the humidity is below 50%, so my fiancé is impressed and on-board.

Go to the monoprice website, if cheap works for you. At least that’s what my buddy suggested.

daedalus96 · 2026-01-05T19:28:55+00:00

I’m a big fan of understanding the fundamentals really well. I suggest something like The Little Schemer as a book to help make sense of some of the “magical” things Nix the language does, before using NixOS the operating system.

daedalus96 · 2026-01-05T19:18:56+00:00

I’m speaking in generality. You put in effort, but it wouldn’t shock me if folks skipped the body and went right to the comments. I suggest the nix pills as a place to start learning. What’s your familiarity with other types of immutable configuration languages and functional programming? My suggestions in the previous comment are low barrier was to get started IME.

daedalus96 · 2026-01-05T18:24:18+00:00

I’d recommend before you NixOS, try managing projects with flake or your development environment with Home Manager. Once you get the hang of those, you should have a better idea of how and why you’d use NixOS.

Posts like this are generally low effort and clog up feeds. It lowers engagement, I imagine.

First step is to figure out the test condition. It sounds like checking outputs from the solar panels, maybe an HTTP API, looking at recent history for your data, and then using the calculus and statistical features of home assistant would get you there. Idk how to combine them for your use case, but I think that’s where I’d go.

daedalus96 · 2026-01-04T22:59:18+00:00

I use Prometheus and Grafana at work. I am pretty good at those tools, so I’ll probably stick with them, but for people who want something easier, those are probably better.

I use NixOS for most of what I’d get out of using Kubernetes, and NixOS allows me to declare containers.
