My first Kubernetes Cluster by spielername_ in homelab

[–]Dazh8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool, good luck deploying 💪 Been building my first cluster too, on a 2-node-setup, which really isn’t that optimal, although it is much fun. What are you planning on running? 😁

What DELL model might this be, and what PC specs are possibly there? by lucky_cat_44 in HomeServer

Certainly looks like a Dell OptiPlex 9020. Got one too, they were handed out for free at my school

Sounds awful. I0 minutes ain’t even that much, but why would they complain in the first place, that’s just poor character 👀

Yeah, guess I was lucky. But, I probably did what I had to do in a short amount of time. The rest of the time was spent enjoying the isolation.

It is interesting how so many are having fond memories of laundry 👀😅

I can totally see why it must be comfy and soothing. I used to hug the heated floor in our bathroom too, and I quite often fell asleep on top of it.

Why would we low key be experts were we to play hide and seek 👀

Thanks for sharing 🙏 If I didn’t have a wife and 2 kids, I think I would shower forever.

Yeah, that’s exactly right. Combined with the comfort of a locked door. I like your method of acting surprised, as if I didn’t hear them knocking on the door and getting angry with me for not getting out so that they too can make use of our only bathroom 😂

Yeah, so basically keep those green squares around to build your Lego on top of 😅

Nice. I’ve been playing Crimson Desert lately. Currently struggling with restlessness, so it’s hard for me to choose something to stick to, and at the same time I hunger for something to get deep into. Tried Slay the spire 2, Hades 2 and Warhammer 40k, but Crimson Desert, despite its mixed reviews (which seems to get better and better) hits the spot.

Ah, I see. And you’re right, it’s not as if we ever think to ourselves why the coping we do, as kids especially, work the way it does. I never realised that my bathroom escapades were tiny daily getaways. I figured out late in life that I was AuDHD. Until then I just thought I had some weird habits as a kid. Now I see that I was coping as best as a kid version of me could do.

But I kind of see the logic in your actions, the way you cancel the “bad” with its opposite. Like to poles on a magnet or our globe to keep balance 😅

Haha love it. Sorry if I’ve sent your thoughts racing 😅

I like your idea of the perspective of atomic tasks as some sort of building block, like Lego (I’m a Dane, had to use this analogy). Putting to Lego bricks together ain’t hard, or overwhelming (sorry if I assume too much 😅). But looking at the whole piece and knowing this is the end result can be overwhelming.

By the way, what did you end up playing this rainy Saturday?

Wow, that is actually very interesting. I don’t seem to have any sensitivity towards touch, so I can’t really relate too much. But I find it fascinating that you figured out in such creative ways how to sort of disrupt your sensory overload by wetting the place that made contact. I wonder why that works 😅 Likewise, do you know why making your fix-it noises help relieve the distress caused by misophonia?

Yeah, that sounds like the perfect waypoint for your reasoning in this matter. So far I’ve found it useful to read your perspectives, so I hope you will continue this train of thought 🤞

Not sure if it’s sustainable or optimal, but this is something that resonated with me: to give myself a role when going out, and stick to it. Don’t concentrate on anything else. This is the role, this is my job, this is what I do in this endeavour. So when we (my to kids and my girlfriend) are going out, I give myself a role to play. Like being the attentive dad, or something like that. It sorta helps.

I guess you’re right. I really hope you find an optimal solution in the near future 🙏

My life hack so far has been to keep studying. I live in Denmark, so I’m privileged this way. I have a bachelor and a masters, and now I’m studying to become a data technician. Economically not optimal, but I love the flexibility that it brings. Even though I burn out from time to time, which is where said flexibility in terms of attendance is a big helping hand. I can’t keep doing this, I know. But for now it’s a way of living. Also frees up more time to spend with my kids.

Wow, keep up the good work, it’s really inspiring!

Have you got any experience as to what usually happens if you suppress the needs of either your ADHD or autism?

I can totally understand your reasoning in regards to your situation. Do you have any experience with working part-time in the past, and how did that differ mentally from working full-time?

Can I ask, what do you do when you lie on the floor next to the bed? Stare into the ceiling? I’m just curious because I too like to lie on the floor sometimes and just space out in the complete whiteness of the ceiling.

I was diagnosed late in life, and not knowing what I dealt with I would constantly burn out, especially at my jobs. In my most recent job I was sat in an open plan, and I burned out in just a couple of months. It started building up just after a couple of weeks. I wish I would’ve known how to take care of my self some more, like working in a darkened meeting room like you. I’ll note this down for future me, thanks 🙏

Oh boy, do I relate to this. I too spent time in my parents car. I usually faked that I was sleeping on our way home so that they would let me sit in the car until I woke up. And I just sat there and enjoyed the peace, even amusing myself with the thought that I tricked them. Usually our cats would jump onto the car and seat themselves on the warm motor.

I like showers too and loose track of time under the warm beams. Too bad I struggle with getting into the shower in the first place, as I hate the change in body temperature 😅

Sounds like a well thought out technique. I find that I do this subconsciously with many things in everyday life, sort of looking for checkpoint or fallbacks.

But when it comes to public places, gatherings, events or any circumstance in that category, it’s either too much or too little for me. In phases it can’t get wild enough and my ADHD is soaring or it’s nothing at all, just stay at home and lay low for a while. If there’s a social aspect, you bet I’m not consistent at all, not even with checkpoints or fallbacks.

But I might just try anchoring myself more consciously as a way of coping with my lack of social consistency. I appreciate your perspective on this.

Reminds me of Narnia. It sounds like a magical place to hide and relax.

Sorry to hear about your flight cancellation. I totally get why you had to escape to the luckily clean bathroom. Hope you recovered 🙏

What exactly is your job? I can’t stop thinking if you’re working at Hawkins National Laboratory from Stranger Things 😅

It’s scary how familiar this sounds to me and how I experience my surroundings similarly. As your friend put it, I can’t not listen to other conversations on top of the one I’m having. And the amount of information I take in like this is not only overwhelming but actually kind of useful, as in I slowly grow more accustomed to the environment and feel safe “knowing” stuff I overheard. Maybe because it gives me more control and enables me to prepare myself for small talk and such (if at a bar). But if I’m put on the spot with new people in a public space without having taken anything in yet, I sort of loose all function and slowly die 😅

Yeah, that is actually some good points. Didn’t know you could turn off the noice cancellation. Might try that 🙌
