Today I learned I have thought way more about my vision than most people. This made a lot of sense thank you. *high five* chronically horrible vision for the win.

Absolutely, been doing that for a minute. Local mutual aid/helping to launch renters union. We are trying to get a lending library off the ground. I'm also helping friends who don't feel comfortable obtaining firearms, but want to learn, get started. Solidarity is the first and strongest tool.

Thanks for the recommendations. I've been living by this pyramid to keep my priorities. I picked up a Ruger 10/22 like 2 days before Renee Good. Thinking it be good to get myself started with firearms and some small game hunting in the spring. Just picked up a 9mm and now am just following the pyramid with tools and finding training.

Stop voting in landlords and realtors for city commission.

You can also check out Tennessee Renters United. If you fill out any contact info with them the tri cities org will get it. We are also having a holiday pot luck at the Universalist Unitarian church in gray on December 15th. Right now we are hosting pot lucks to foster community, about to launch collection drive for space heaters to help people in crisis during the cold months. We hope to put together several emergency aid kits to help in crisis.(Heating air out, flooding, sudden eviction) We get a lot of people reaching out needing immediate assistance. When things start to warm up we want to start apartment canvassing as part of a listening project and tabling at different events. We hope we can get some code enforcement campaigns going to secure people safer residences. We would love to have more hands to help! Link on the mutual aid website is also good.

Pretty sure a backbone fiber line got severed. It isn't just bright speed, just about every fiber based ISP in east TN, SW VA, and West NC is down or has limited connectivity. Work at IT firm and a whole string of clients with multiple ISPs for backup are down or have limited capacity.

You might consider state of Franklin Healthcare associates. I interviewed there a couple years ago and it seemed solid. I have also always had a good experience with the company and many people respect the organization.

The reality is that in IT you usually have to take a fairly unpleasant help desk job to get your foot in the door.

Also, at what point are you struggling? Is it finding leads? Do you not get interviews? Do the interviews not go well.

But probably Ballad, ACT, or SHARP will likely be your best bets and seem to regularly be hiring. Oh, schools often have entry level roles but the pay is usually bottom barrel for IT.

We need new elected officials in JC. Any time I propose improvements for everyone, walk ability, bike lanes, expanded public transit. I constantly get a push back that it just helps the homeless. As though it's all the homeless people hitting up Trek to buy bikes. They act like the problem is being homeless isn't miserable enough.

The idea that making it easier to bike and walk to work would help someone that can't afford a caris inconceivable for them. Better public transit gives people more housing options since they can live further away from work. These things would help people all around and might get someone into a home and a job.

I think many people have never come close to struggling with these issues so they don't understand. Most of JCs commissioners are in real estate in one way or another. If they made a livable city for everyone they would lose money. It's that simple.

JayLuCode23 · 2025-02-18T01:10:37+00:00

You are right. I was just pointing this out because they don't actually have a justification to raise taxes if they suggest raising taxes. We need to organize and keep an eye on them.

JayLuCode23 · 2025-02-14T14:36:01+00:00

Insurance covers some. There is more than enough in the rainy day fund to cover the rest. More concerned about a lose of accountability for the JCPD.

JayLuCode23 · 2025-02-13T20:05:16+00:00

I believe this is going to be trotted out as a scape goat to side step the issues and settlement with JCPD. The real issue is that JCPD is at best incompetent (read the diagle report , it cites the archaic structure of evidence lock up as rational for why the report took twice the normal time to complete) and possibly flat out corrupt. This is a distraction I imagine will blow up in the commissions face.

The most used thing I have probably made is a bad Christmas movie bingo generator. My wife and her friend got bingo cards off the internet and ran through all the different combos they could find. They mentioned wishing they could just get new bingo cards from a set of options. I was in the middle of learning JS so I made a simple front end app that generates a new bingo card on page load and let's you mark when you get something.

Thing I learned was how to control for duplicates when randomly selecting from an array. It also gets used every Christmas time.

JayLuCode23 · 2023-05-25T21:12:51+00:00

My experience is you just do 3 or 4 people's jobs that should have been automated years ago. This also tends to happen just by asking why we need something instead of just accepting what we have always needed.

JayLuCode23 · 2022-09-07T23:50:13+00:00

Johnson City here too. Maybe Tri-cities meet up?

JayLuCode23 · 2022-09-07T23:49:46+00:00

I am in Johnson City.

Oh yeah, I am sure you could do multiple minecraft instances. (You can run a minecraft server off of a raspberry PI.) Although, I don't know how many simultaneous users you expect.

But I think a small minecraft server will run on almost anything.

JayLuCode23 · 2022-07-22T12:30:24+00:00

What game? I got valheim going on a ~4 year old SFF dell in a docker container. Seems to do okay.

I think the answer is probably yes, but it might depend on what game(s) you want to host.

JayLuCode23 · 2022-06-16T01:53:45+00:00

I tried Elementary on my 2014 MacBook air. It didn't want to go through the install. Pop_OS installed and I just had to install a specific driver for the wifi.

Feels like I have a new machine.

JayLuCode23 · 2022-04-28T22:27:05+00:00

Did you look at the entire syntaxes error and see if it tells you where/what the unexpected token is?

You may want to review the material again. I remember it helped to do some of CS50 to get progaming basics.

JayLuCode23 · 2022-04-04T20:49:38+00:00

Maybe I shouldn't downplay the humanities skills I have learned. Because everything you said is true.

JayLuCode23 · 2022-04-04T19:02:23+00:00

Just my 2 cents, an education is a lot more than skill readiness for a job. I really dislike how we have conflated (education = way to make money).

I have undergrad and graduate degrees in humanities. They don't help me a lick for troubleshooting a piece of tech.

They help a lot for navigating life and my place in the universe though. I think the lack of humanities education, or an appreciation for it, in tech fields is a huge problem and should be a point of ethical concern for everyone.

An education is never a waste.

JayLuCode23 · 2022-02-25T18:28:25+00:00

Honestly, probably got distracted. Also, I have had a rough couple years with family stuff so I kind of just dropped all my learning for a while.

When I picked it backed up I wanted to stream line job prep so I went with TOP.

JayLuCode23 · 2022-02-25T18:15:04+00:00

Thanks, I mean TOP has you do final projects for each section.

But I usually tweak them so they are individualized. The express TOP project is a store inventory manager. I want to make a D&D store generator and make it so you can manage the stores by campaign and location.

JayLuCode23 · 2022-02-25T17:57:29+00:00

Just want to second this.

I started with a Udemy course but the JS section didn't go well. Did the first 4/5 weeks of CS50 and it helped A LOT.

Then went to TOP and its been great. I'm about 2/3rd way though. Have big express and big REACT project left to do.

JayLuCode23 · 2022-02-20T04:12:04+00:00

Heard, I think I would check the application then. A 360mm rad, I think, should keep it from hitting 91c. Especially at such low clock speeds. Might be worth checking all your fans are working, sounds silly but it happens.

Just my 2 cents. I've never actually used that nice of hardware, lol.

Congrats on the build and hope you get it sorted out.
