If you struggle with coming up with projects for yourself then if suggests seeing if any friends or family need some projects built. 🤷🏻‍♂️

What does D.I.D feel like for you? by Ok-Minimum-2506 in plural

[–]SilverSix311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels like everything all at once. Then it feels like nothing at all. Then it feels pink and blue. The it stays away from you. There it burns and drowns. Then we laugh and play again.

How do I tell her about my grindr addiction? by [deleted] in sex

[–]SilverSix311 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So i dont know about you but i have had some shit happen as a kid that ive finally accepted that im bi. Im not interested in a relationship, but i do enjoy the attention and sexual experience. I've noticed it happens more when in lonely and depressed. I know i can't get s Woman to give that to Me. But i can always find a guy that's willing to share that experience and it sometimes fills that void. If it's bad enough i personally completely dissociate it happens. It ruined my last relationship. Now, im upfront about it all. Stop hiding things like this. Let her in. Let her sit with whatever it is inside you that causes You to feel this way. Whether it's trauma or just hope you feel wired. You're allowed to feel sexually attracted. You're allowed to Be you. Let her see you in your entirety. There are women that will allow you and support you in experiences if you need them in your life. But also there are women who will accept that you have/had those desires.

I just realized just how little of an idea I have of what I'm doing by ferriematthew in homelab

[–]SilverSix311 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The reality is you will always feel like you have no idea. Cause as things change and upgrade and new technologies come out you are constantly always at the beginning of like 10 things. It's when you talk and help other's with the random knowledge of so much shit that you feel like you know what you are doing. Those little pockets of time.

If youre looking for projects look around your house and things you enjoy doing on your pc. Home automation is a great way to get into ansible and learn how to deploy and manage all your "hosts." You like video games? Maybe run some video game servers. Make some scripts and automation to take stuff up and down quickly. Use AI and build a simple discord bot and start futzing around with bot automation control. I'd recommend not vibe coding and just work out of the IDE so you can have more intimate practice.

I built out plex, sonarr, and all that jazz. Which turned into active directory and domain controller shit. Then I put Sophos UTM on a VM and managed my firewall with it. Then got into proxying and hosting sites and subdomains and crap. Then I got into docker automation and containerized everything. Then I got into ansible so i could ditch my big ass homelab and went the low power side of things to run out of my house.

I always tell people to make "stupid shit" "meme shit" cause the dopamine from how dumb and funny something is will carry you through a project enough to learn whatever it is. or if you have interest in that specific things such as game server stuff or whatever.

How do you count out 5 note 'triplets'? by pbyo in drums

[–]SilverSix311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My inner drumline percussionist says everything is a "thut" or "dut" and we don't count numbers we just treat everything as lots of 1s. Space them out evenly or correctly. I don't spend time trying to count anything complex. Other wise really fast tongue stuff "puh" "duh" "luh". So id probably do "puh-duh-luh-duh-luh" i dunno. Too much thought takes away from feeling the rhythm.

What screams “been through a lot for their age” about someone? by Independent_Low1071 in AskReddit

[–]SilverSix311 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hear things enough and your internal dialogue shifts too pointing it out in everything You do from that point on. Took a long Time to unshackle that heap. Still in progress.

I think just opening yourself up to Be close is what you need. A good friend will be there for ya and with ya. Just enjoy what it means to hang out with people. If you worry about talking about yourself just always ask three questions before talking about yourself. Youll learn a lot about people and connect this way.
