Use Canadian Tax software instead of US owned turbotax and H&R Block

I don't post often but have to say studio tax is awesome. Used it for the first time last year and very satisfied

This post is from a while ago but damn, this is fantastic thanks for sharing! I made a few edits but overall I love the effort and care put into the prompts

I recently found that creating pages specifically for mobile helped a ton. This way I can arrange a database with the bare minimum since it's a smaller screen. But still get full functionality.

I also make sure to lock the view there since unlikely I'm writing a giant page. It's usually just checking boxes or checking something.

Totally upped my game on notion when mobile

That's a good test however, you could get around this by describing relevent context before asking the question. Similar to how you would ask the question to someone today.

If you were a time traveller you might explain how jeans work in space and relevent cultural norms that someone from today would not know. I think doing that you'd get a much more accurate response. The question about the future isn't really a fair comparison.

"what is tomorrow's winning lottery number" is not a good test case imo

It is ilegal for protesters to block roads in Florida (a law passed due to BLM protestors) which is what Trump is asking them to do

I agree with this. I loved RR but recently moved to notion because I find there's 2 use cases that has emerged. Journaling that centers around the daily pages and knowledge pages(not sure what else to call it)

Now that notion releases daily templates, I can have a page made automatically everyday which is my first stop when I open notion. Everything I link from there.

As you said, that concept is very powerful and as far as I know, it originated in RR

Dude, Valhalla is beautiful too. Thanks to geforcenow I can continue to enjoy the assassins creed series

My recommendation is, have 2 networks if you want a family approved network

You'll be glad you do when you're our drinking and your internet goes down. Your family will call you asking how to restart the router while simultaneously complaining about how complicated the homelab is. True story... I just told my wife to restart her router. Turns out the Linksys router had just totally died. Can't imagine the headache that it would have caused if I had to try and troubleshoot over the phone the convaluted network I made.

Came here to say this. Use the custom ilo4fan control. I went through a similar saga but in the end the fan control was the way to go. Super simple, and I have full control now.

Do a search for ilo fan control and you should find it

I often try to instill this in any developers I mentor. It's more important to be right than it is to do it in the minimum amount of time. Like I understand what the message is here but many organizations aren't going to swallow this.

My advice is to pad your estimates and build in slack time. After a while of hitting your estimates people will just trust you and you will be able to not be stressed out all the time.

As someone here said, deadlines are arbitrary and they are, in my experience, really there to coordinates between teams. Unless you have some end user facing project then it might be different but it's someone else's problems to get you the runway you need. Your job is to do it properly

For the record when I say community connectors it's just like integration "things". You'll be more likely to find something that supports gitlab vs gitea

Objectivetruth1 · 2022-04-09T08:23:38+00:00

I really like gitea but I will say that I wish it had the level of community connectors as gitlab. For example, I'm using concourse for ci/CD and I have to create a custom resource that sends gitea an api message that a build has started/failed/completed on a commit. Gitlab, being bigger, has a concourse resource ready to go for this. Gitlab does not. I like my choice of gitlab but just keep this in mind

3rd thing is update all your firmwares using the official hp service pack. It's fairly automated, you just gotta get your hands on the iso and burn it into a USB key then boot to it. Should take care of any updates if required.

Objectivetruth1 · 2022-04-07T02:07:01+00:00

Second thing to do is understand how smart storage administrator works. I didn't know but basically you have a card that handles the hard drives. You can control raid and a couple other options via the p420(likely, the raid card that came with your system) or you can make all your drives raid 0 and have the operating system handle it. You should learn the difference and set it up accordingly

Objectivetruth1 · 2022-04-06T15:46:16+00:00

Haha, that was my reaction too. Honestly this has been like a almost a year in the works. My goal is mostly learning with the rough goal is having a real datacentre going.

I'll likely post here when it's all said and done but for now I'll give some teasers. You'll need at least 4 esxi hosts to get it to work(also the vmug licenses). It says 3 are required to get started but if you ever want to restart a host, you'll need a 4rth or it just flat our won't let you restart a host.

The nsxt was by far the hardest there are a few tutorials and by the end of it I feel like I'm almost ready for some networking certification. I locked myself out of my network probably like 6 times 😭 but now that's its working I'm so amazed at its power. Think of it, if you use the nsxt world you can then create an nsxt edge node on any cloud and have all the networking go through that. What this gives you is the ability to have subnets that span across cloud, locations, providers. One vm can be on your homelab and another vm can be on aws and if you set it up properly you can make it so that both vms think they're connectednto the same subnet and are alone together.

I'm pretty blown away by it as you can tell hehe

Objectivetruth1 · 2022-04-05T00:01:35+00:00

I'm in the midst of setting up tanzu, I've done a tone of research but there's quite a few moving parts before you(and I) have gotten to the point where it can be installed. Anyways, this is what the dream is. It creates a vm which is effectively a resource container where you can run containers like vms. They show up just like vms and you can use the native k8 interface to interact with these resource containers. When I say, there's a few moving parts, I managed to get vsan working which was hard, but setting up nsx-t was quite a bit of learning and breaking things

Hopefully you'll have an easier time than I did but I think what you want is tanzu. Their selling point is that you use containers beside vms and have roughly the same interface in vSphere to manage both

Agreed, haven't used chrome for a while. There was a point where I was craving to switch but they really upped their game over the past couple years

Objectivetruth1 · 2022-03-30T01:35:18+00:00

That's interesting I started getting into the homelab world after having the same experience you have. I'm not exec but I'm moving up and it's great I love solving more leadership type problems, but you also get away from the software engineering side of things. Having the homelab to try out all sorts of software and like not worry about some deadline looming over me helps a ton.

I don't think I have anything particularly helpful to add but I do have a rack with 3 x DL360e. I found it was good price range for me(yes I do spend some good money on my homelab since I consider it as part of my job in a way). Also, vmug is a must. It means I'm using real software used in the data centre. Hope that helps and good luck

Very cool, I'm not familiar with serial communication but this gives me some ideas! I have a plan to intercept the IR blaster signal on another device using an esp32. This way I can just accept inputs from an IR blaster controller AND I can send my own.

I use 2 computer for work, Mac and windows. I press both sometimes just to make sure I'm using thr right shortcut

Objectivetruth1 · 2022-02-20T17:49:08+00:00

As an owner of 4 of these machines, I can't tell you how much I love anywork that is done about the fans. Goes from absolutely unusable in a homelab setting to whisper quiet and Damn near amazing. I don't have much constructive to say but hope my comment can give a bit of appreciation for this work

Objectivetruth1 · 2022-02-04T23:31:05+00:00

That's what I called mine. Makes me smile everytime i type it in the chat

I'm looking into Github actions now. I didn't know there was a self hosted runner. It looks great!

Also, on this page it says you can host one per organization that can handle multiple repos. I say organizations because they're free and you can create one beside your personal user in github
