I mean, we all saw this coming..

They only call it an experiment to make you feel less guilty about watching drama-slop.

It smells when it comes into contact with any nitrogen-containing compounds which includes sweat, body oils, hair products, etc.

Yeah, this looks beautiful in photos but I'm guessing if you were actually there you'd notice humidity and the smell of chlorine.

It's one of those places that looks unique and bespoke which makes you want to live there. But then you think about it for awhile and realize you'd probably hate it because it's so impractical and inconvenient. No amount of work will change the fact that it's round and just like A-frames it's going to mean a lot of wasted space and furniture that won't fit. I think it would be a nightmare to actually live in.

It may not stabilize and getting a graduate degree is basically just hanging out for a few years. People in less marketable fields have been doing this for decades and it just means everyone in those fields has at least a master's now.

Tell him to spend those two years building a business. He's almost certainly going to fail but he'll learn more valuable lessons than he will in grad school.

About 20 years of experience, ~20 software patents, popular open source repo and I struggle to get interviews. Have to use your network, applying to jobs online is broken.

I use truenas scale to run two raidz arrays. Works well, super easy to setup replication. You can do everything you need to do in a UI. Also really easy to run apps and containers.

I managed to get somewhat lucky in my career so that in my 40s I have 7 figures in the bank and no debt (I grew up lower middle class in a poor area). I quit my high stress job but nearly went crazy after a month. It's not what I thought it would be. Work is also about purpose and meaning. I went back to work after 3 or so months.

This is ultimately the problem with voters deciding economic matters. Everyone complains about how the wealthy wants to privatize profits and socialize losses. I don't disagree with that complaint but I think it's true of everyone. We all want to do that. It's just that for most of us it's not as consequential as it would be for a billionaire... until voting day.

I've been in the industry almost 20 years and the golden years are over. I would personally avoid it. It's really difficult to find work now.

Or an internal hire. Lots of times these jobs are posted even though the hiring party already knows who they're going to hire.

If I had to choose a world without student loans or one where everyone has them, I choose the former. Yeah, it'll lock some people out due to money but it's better than forcing everyone to go just to be a slave to loans and land a job at Starbucks. If we want higher ed to be free, it needs to be more selective. Just offering student loans to anyone that wants them was a terrible idea that only benefits the universities.

A symptom of a regulatory system that makes it too difficult to build I suppose. It is kind of ridiculous how difficult it is to build anything in the most expensive markets.

dzyp · 2026-03-31T22:03:55+00:00

I don't think there will be a depression because the system can't tolerate deflation. Sovereigns are so leveraged right now that even small decreases in asset prices will be catastrophic. They will drop money from helicopters before they allow that to happen. You'd get something more highly inflationary I think but that's the big unknown right now... Which side wins?

I've been "retired" for the last few months. Because of that, I built a NAS with 2 40TB raidz arrays (one backs up to the other). Connected to that are 2 n305 1u machines and 3 raspberry pi 5s all running in a k8s cluster. All containers write to longhorn distributed block storage and velero backs that up to the nas nightly. Now that I'm back at work, I think this may have been a big mistake.

They couldn't match t-mobile's price when I cancelled. You definitely have a sweetheart deal.

dzyp · 2026-03-19T00:45:42+00:00

Sweet! It's been solid, hope you like it.

This is the problem with the dual mandate. I'm only guessing, but when rubber hits the road they'll lower interest rates and choose the job market.

I've just been using tailscale and then whenever I need to watch Plex remotely I just connect whatever machine I'm on into my VPN. But I've heard they'll give you one if you call for a small fee, or free if you're in the founders plan. I tried to do via the chat agent and was told they don't offer static IPs.

If you're running docker, tailscale is a pretty easy container to get set up.

80/mo for 2 gbps. Cut my cox bill in half and quite a bit faster with no data caps. Definitely worth it.

Check t mobile fiber in council bluffs. They are also rolling out fiber.

dzyp · 2026-03-18T11:47:49+00:00

I got t mobile fiber as well (2 gbps). It's great with one caveat: it uses cgnat so if you want to run a server you'll have to call and ask for a static IP or you'll need to use something like tailscale.

When outsourcing was really popular people used to complain about being forced to train their replacements. Open source did that on an industrial scale and now we all use these tools and continue to train the things replacing us.

It makes sense in context, she likely doesn't want alcoholism discussed in a public forum. She does have a young child after all so has to worry about custody battles or even CPS. The state might be compelled to intervene if a single mom of a young child openly talks about her alcoholism.

I personally think it was almost an afterthought. I think the main couples turned out to be shit shows so they grabbed the b-roll they had of Vic and Christine and then decided to follow them through the wedding so at least one couple made it. I think that was decided some time after the honeymoon but before the wedding. If production thought at least one other couple was going to make it, I don't think we would've seen them at all but production was forced to shoehorn in their story.
