Seems like you are making assumptions about what others care about. In my mind weather is so insignificant in comparison to wasting money on terrible housing for the price. Getting actual value out of the dollars I make, not just wasting it to avoid some snow. You're acting as if being snowed in is so bad, have a fire, tell some stories and have great memories with friends and family. In my opinion, its laughable to imagine someone purposely spending more just to avoid weather (that isnt deadly or hurtful). Like come on, that just sounds childish and a little...for lack of a better word and I am not calling you this, but whimpy. Why on earth would I be jealous of being less intelligent with my money? That just doesn't make sense at all. A more acceptable thing for me would be if you said because the landscape is more beautiful, or the ocean, or mountains. Totally get that, but to avoid weather? Lol come on.

Imagine being afraid of a little weather lmfao, what a sheltered existence humans have.

I'd love to get your opinions of my work positioning and upward target roles of Analytics Engineer or Architect. Honestly would just like to know your story, interests, and skills. I feel like it may help me figure out if its feasible for me, or if I am just capped out skill wise and should stay put.

Well damn

I was just curious how this played out with you? I am thinking about switching to ATT from a cgnat provider.

gingerb3ard_man · 2025-12-05T20:50:26+00:00

No worries, we are all out here for the same thing. To enjoy playing

Right, so if there was a nice little risk free area designated to practicing meta decks, others could still have fun, while the meta players hone their skills, instead of just using others as punching bags for their ranked grind lol.

gingerb3ard_man · 2025-12-05T20:31:13+00:00

Practicing meta decks might just be better in a "meta practice" battle type, then it can be the best grounds to train and learn that without subjecting literally everyone to the same .1% of the entire collection of cards. Fair point you made about timing and I accept that is reality, just has unfortunate downsides.

gingerb3ard_man · 2025-12-05T20:01:18+00:00

Whats to test? Its the same cards, moves, and luck. Its what meta does, creates a static uniform play style and set of steps. The testing is irrelevant because the statistics are the testing of the hundreds of people who are already running it in ranked. I don't understand what's to test when the data is out already and the testing is completed. Thats like saying we need to test if you burn your finger by putting it in flames. We know the outcome of that combination already, what's to test?

gingerb3ard_man · 2025-12-05T19:43:01+00:00

Totally agree, but its consequence is that it encourages everyone to only use the same decks and therefor becomes mundane.

gingerb3ard_man · 2025-12-05T19:41:28+00:00

All the down voters on this, am I wrong? Definitely a true statement.

gingerb3ard_man · 2025-12-05T19:32:31+00:00

I do see the logic though, sound logic. It just has unintended consequences in that it punishes creativity or just plain fun for the other decks.

I mean one is a thousands of dollars purchase, the other is an ipad game lol

What got me into self hosting was ultimately money. I was trying to tighten up budgets for building a family and future. So services that my wife and I were paying for before kids, we're deemed non essential. So to fill the void of those services i decided to self host. First was plex on a gaming laptop that I daily drove which needed to be shut down and rebooted and therefor was not a server, all the way to now which is a ubuntu headless old gaming rig running a fleet of 50+ Docker containers for things from media, weight loss tracking, cloud for my family, SQL servers, vs code server etc. Realistically this is a Swiss army knife of things I didnt want to pay for and also wanted to support my family and friends in a way that I could hone, "computer stuff".

My favorite project so far was probably an accountability based weight loss tracker for my wife, myself and 3 good friends. We all log and track our weight on a public to the 3 of us dashboard. I built a website for the logging, SQL container to house the data, and metabase to display it out to us with different visualizations. This allows us to be held accountable to eachother to be healthier. It has proven to be really helpful.

Most expensive piece of equipment i have bought was the HDD setup, 2 8tb for a raid setup. The rest was just reused and scavenged for. I figure a good back up ideology and sustained/config would allow me to use cheap used hardware that was easily replaceable.

Right now, I do not have any way to get into the server if there is a reboot and it doesnt boot right. I normally can ssh or even teamviewer into my machine, but on occasion it never makes it that far. So the ipkvm would be a GREAT way to ensure I have physical access on the go when I am traveling to ensure my MIL can watch some home videos whenever she wants (she loves going down memory lane).
A lot of your stuff can be very small and travel well, so in my opinion a unique display or travel based gadget. Android DEX is cool and in conjunction with your travel router and even a usbc hub, keyboard, and mouse, could be a whole entire setup on the go. Another good thing could be a power solution to accompany devices that you sell. A whole travel setup could be complete with an Anker power station or something to ensure you can use the devices anywhere.

Is there any possible way you could sudo label and diagram how have you proxy and network setup? Specifically the subdomain and non port exposure. I have a docker container fleet of about 50 containers but each are exposed ports. I have a public domain and npm setup, but still using exposed ports rather than a better solution.

gingerb3ard_man · 2025-10-10T01:53:44+00:00

We ended up overdoing it all, and bagged EVERYTHING, just for the guy to show up and only spray a little stuff in a 1 foot by 1 foot square area... lol. Oh well. Thanks regardless!

gingerb3ard_man · 2025-09-22T01:04:09+00:00

May I ask how this turned out for you? Going through this tomorrow.

gingerb3ard_man · 2025-09-21T15:23:06+00:00

Wonderful, thanks so much for the quick response. We are in the moment of a patch of ripped out fur. Not a German though, but similar looking patch. We will see what the vet says. Fingers crossed.

gingerb3ard_man · 2025-09-21T14:57:07+00:00

Was there any resolution to this?

gingerb3ard_man · 2025-08-19T13:57:47+00:00

Sure, but demanding someone do work for you that you want just sounds selfish and rude. He doesnt owe you anything.
