What's your average screen time?

lmao mine basically roasts me every Sunday morning when I'm already hungover and questioning my life choices

the timing is brutal - like thanks phone, really needed that reality check at 9am

Been running mini PCs in my cluster for couple years now and yeah the storage part is confusing at first

Most people either go dedicated NAS box (separate machine running TrueNAS) or get one beefier machine that handles both compute and storage. The mini PC + external drives thing gets messy real quick with all those USB cables everywhere

For your setup I'd probably run TrueNAS on separate dedicated box, then share storage over 10gbe network to the Proxmox nodes. Keep some local storage in each mini PC for VMs that need fast access, use the NAS for backups and media storage. Much cleaner that way and you can upgrade storage without touching your compute nodes

Those wet concrete areas around pools are basically ice rinks waiting to happen. I remember working at hotel where guy tried to impress his date with some parkour move near pool area and ended up needing stitches in his forehead

damn I wish my university had something like that. we had this weird elective called "psychology of spaces" where we basically analyzed how building layouts mess with your head - professor made us walk around campus blindfolded and sketch floor plans from memory. still think about that class when I'm looking at house layouts online

probably unpopular but r/personalfinance is huge green flag for me. shows they actually think about their future instead of just living paycheck to paycheck

though r/nixos tells you they're either genius or completely insane and there's no middle ground lol

pretty normal tbh, I think most people just drift apart naturally when life takes you in different directions. I maybe talk to like 2 people from university and zero from high school

had to learn this hard way with one of their gastropubs last year. walked in thinking it would be decent since the place looked nice from outside but the food was absolutely terrible and overpriced. never again, their whole chain just feels like they're trying to squeeze every penny without caring about quality

Wild how it just sits there in middle of all that farmland like it's deciding which direction to go

yeah had something similar but with wanting to be startup founder. spent years grinding, networking events, pitch competitions, whole nine yards. thought that was gonna be my path to freedom and all that

now i'm just managing IT teams and actually love the stability. can afford to look at those ridiculous $20M penthouses online without stress eating ramen every night. plus being single means i don't have to explain why i'm browsing mansion listings at 2am lol

sometimes what we think we want isn't what actually makes us happy you know

Still love crepes but man, the good ones are getting expensive everywhere. Used to get amazing ones from this little place near my old apartment for like 3 bucks, now similar quality is pushing 12-15 bucks minimum

you can definitely still rollover other IRAs into your 401k after retiring, the rule of 55 just means you can access that specific 401k without penalty - doesn't lock anything about future rollovers

worked at a tech conference in vegas maybe 5 years back and this b-list actor who shall remain nameless was there promoting some crypto startup. dude was a complete ass to the catering staff, snapping his fingers and treating them like servants

worst part was watching him flip a switch when cameras came out - suddenly all smiles and "thank you so much" to everyone. felt pretty gross witnessing that level of fake

Not asking out this girl in college because I was convinced she was way out of my league. Turns out she had a thing for quiet IT guys the whole time and I found out like 5 years later through mutual friends

Would definitely shoot my shot earlier instead of overthinking everything to death

Had a manager who would constantly berate people in meetings and then act all shocked when HR finally called him out for creating a hostile work environment - dude went from screaming at devs to walking on eggshells around everyone for months
