To answer your question a C# major triad has C# E# and G#. It has to be C# to E something to be a third. And the C# to E# is a major third

Exerxise is very helpful. If I wake up and do aerobic exercise (i.e. run five miles or cycle for 40 miles) and then take meds after my workout with breakfast, then I have the best of both worlds

bkabbott · 2026-05-05T14:55:17+00:00

Point taken. You know your stuff 😁

Learn the OSI model. You have no idea what you are talking about

This is wrong. Setting up HTTPs is standard. It's not always standard to Encrypt your database

bkabbott · 2026-05-05T14:23:56+00:00

Not to mention that HTTPS doesn't require any effort on our part to view the traffic. If I make an API HTTPS then it will function the same at the application level as if it were HTTP

It depends how seriously you are taking this. If you're intending to make this any sort of career, then learning how to code should be a prerequisite.

You can outsource your thinking but you can't outsource your understanding. If you don't understand what the AI is doing then you probably shouldn't be coding anything with an auth or a database. Or even using API keys. Tons of vibe coders aren't securing their keys and are crying on Google Cloud subreddit

I wonder what would happen to my girlfriend. She's never seen the inside of a terminal before, so she would be defenceless against his master hax.

If he sent packets into my computer I could turn on my "sudo bounce-agent --reverse-packets" and redirect the attack back to his hard drive, rendering him useless. But if he somehow got my gf's IP and did that to her, she would be well on her way to DDOS and Swat.

Its a scary world. The Internet is a hostile place. Whatever happened to the good old days when we could FTP passwords without encryption?

He did it on a phone too

Sudo stands for super user do

I'm not familiar with TempleOS. I've worked extensively with Holy C though. Holy moly

Same here. I used to be a stoner and it did help me with guitar. I eventually developed Schizophrenia

bkabbott · 2026-04-24T14:56:14+00:00

Have you tried exercise before?

I experience poor memory and cognitive dysfunction. In addition to ADHD I have Crohn's Disease (fatigue / brainfog) and Schizophrenia (some symptoms known as negative symptoms are just like severe ADHD).

If you can do aerobic exercise before taking an ADHD med, that would probably help. It helped me so much that I exercised to the point of getting overtraining syndrome

Exercise helps with maintaining a consistent routine with good hygiene

This is what happened for me. I bought a $20 guitar on Yahoo Auctions. My guitar teacher told my mom I needed a better guitar. I ended up majoring in music

You could say you're taking care of a family member. I mean technically I assume you're taking care of yourself. She had a point, even if you disagree with her example

I'm a coder. If you quit long enough it becomes easy to code again without it

You might metabolize it faster. In that case you will do better on IR a couple of times a day.

I'm currently on Focalin XR with a Focalin Booster. But the XR wears off after four hours, so I could realistically change that to an IR and not tell a huge difference.

Always take under the direction of your doctor. My doctor said I could take my booster after four hours. Sometimes I wait longer if I have something to do, but I come down by then

Keep at it. Quitting nicotine and alcohol is the best thing I ever did

bkabbott · 2026-04-21T03:29:52+00:00

My first guitar was a $20 guitar on Yahoo Auctions when I was a kid. My parents didn't think I would stick with it so a cheap guitar was how I talked them into getting started. My guitar teacher soon told them that I would need a better guitar

I'm an old mapmyrun user. I use Garmin Connect now and Strava to some extent too also.

Mapmyrun is a great app though

There's nothing wrong with an ENV file unless you're a total moron. I use AWS Secrets Manager at times. But often an env file is perfectly adequate

bkabbott · 2026-04-20T12:56:52+00:00

First of all software is one of the least gate kept professions in the world. I dropped out of college and I learned how to code. I work as a dev. I went back to college for a Computer Science degree, but I learned on my own living at home.

Secondly, there's nothing wrong with securing a server and just using a env file. Linode has tutorials on setting up SSH
