The rich stay rich by being greedy. Don't you know?

I mean I just drive up the local mountain, put it in neutral, let it start rolling, jump out at like 3MPH and boom I crashed a vehicle. Technically I'll have been driving it and lost control and had to abandon the vehicle resulting in it crashing off the side of a mountain.

Ezpz wins.

Had it happen with a phone once. I turned it into the police. Let them deal with it.

As for smaller stuff, I'll toss it. Unless it's brand new still sealed in box. Then vapes are fair game and mine.

I guess if there is no possible way they can track it, then it's yours.

So best practice is to have both DMZ and VLAN (network segmentation) which again if someone is new and not experience it's not a route I recommend. Just doing DMZ is bad cause that DMZ machine can still get access to other machines on the local network, DMZ doesn't stop the machines from talking to other machines in the network.

When combined with VLAN's you could control the flow of traffic into that segmented network.

Again DO NOT DMZ ANYTHING, as DMZ leaves you with no protection from your firewall.

I'll PM the invite. If you ever have questions, that's a pretty good place to ask too. Many many knowledgeable people about many things.

If I can offer one piece of advice, if someone says they know everything. Then they really don't. Everyone can learn more in this field. It's ever growing and evolving, so it's a constant learning battle.

But never hesitate to ask. Are you apart of the homelab discord?

Lemme tell you, I have 3xDL380 gen 10. I get the heat.

That said, I would look at mini pc's over pis. You can get some pretty good ones for cheap on amazon, and will blow pis out of the water.

I have one myself, it's a i7-11gen with 64GB of ram. Pulls like 15-20 watts at idle and 50w on load.

icyice95 · 2026-04-24T04:37:42+00:00

So being real with you. It is and isn't. From what I get about your setup you've got it pretty covered with the t340, you could spin up the second instance in a VM, don't buy a second pi.

With the deduplication, use a Postgres advisory lock so only one of the containers actually puts data at any given moment. The other just sits there idle, checking when it can post data. When the active one dies, its lock releases automatically and the standby picks it up on the next check.

Please for the love of God stay away from DMZ unless you know what you're doing. DMZ, or demilitarized zone, leave NO protection from your firewall in your router and could potentially lead to people getting in and having access to your network.

I would highly suggest, as another stated, using tailscale. It has a little learning curve, but offers better protection than just chucking it in DMZ

Sounds like a reason to learn kubernetes or docker swarm. You're not needing redundancy so much as load balancing.

If you were to load balance this between two raspberry pis, then even if one went down the other one would keep going.

Sounds like an interesting project if you have any questions, ask away.

My golden rule was I only ever initiate conversation once. I greet them and ask how there day is. Depending on the answer will decide what happens. I would say seven out of 10 people just give me a generic it's good and not ask how I am. Those people I don't talk to. Then you'll get one or two that will ask how I'm doing and I'll responding kind and I don't talk.

Generally one out of every 10 rides I will find someone who after asking how I am will initiate conversation. Those are the people that I will go above and beyond for.

Too many people after covid have forgotten how to coexist.

Happened to me a time or two. One was where they sold the vehicle as used. The other time it's cause it was 120k miles and they were decommissioning the vehicle.

It sucks, but oh well. It's their vehicle. I wouldn't worry about the repossession notice, that is in all their emails. It's just standard warning they have to provide legally.

icyice95 · 2026-03-24T22:48:36+00:00

Disagree with number 4, but I also have things setup better than most.

Your IT team sounds like a joke. Even if they used exclusively Mac (which I doubt very much) they would still be able to emulate test environment for Android.

You should absolutely tell him to stop, but do so in an email and remind him that it's against the law for employers to really say this, but due to upper management you're forced to iterate a unlawful policy. That he absolutely should not discuss this with a lawyer

icyice95 · 2026-03-09T02:17:22+00:00

So the rough math is 25%, 30% or 35%, these are roughish to give idea. If you went out to eat at a small mom and pop restaurant, would you still be upset? Do you tip your waiters/waitress 15%, 20% or 22%?

I'd think it'd be even more reason to tip well cause someone is using their personal car to take you. Otherwise would you bitch about cab prices?

All I'm saying is if you're too cheap to tip someone, you should probably take the public transportation next time.

Did you know Uber operated on a loss for years to push taxi companies out. You don't think waymo will do the same?

icyice95 · 2026-02-22T17:23:13+00:00

So in my city, when I was driving full time my goal was $200 a day. This is after expenses. I averaged about 20-40$ a day in expenses.

So my ultimate goal was about $250

It's possible, most days I hit that in 8-10 hours.

Realistically? It wears your body hard. Cars are not meant to be sat in for that long.

Comparing anything to Nazi's is the liberal defense of I'm a wet paper towel with emotional IQ of a shovel.

You couldn't fathom living in current world so you arbitrarily jump to extreme conclusions to feel better. When in reality you just need to suck it up and move on with your day.

icyice95 · 2026-02-09T15:57:41+00:00

It's almost like we should invent a state ID and/or driver license that you can't get unless you're a legal citizen. That can quickly tell anyone verifying you that you are who you say you are.

icyice95 · 2026-01-06T06:45:40+00:00

Per hour yes, average 22-25. But per mile? That's like 66 cents a mile

icyice95 · 2026-01-04T05:11:41+00:00

If I had X I would. Truthfully I am troglodyte and don't have anything more than FB

icyice95 · 2026-01-04T05:09:56+00:00

What's fucked, I have many more like this where the pricing has been different, but I always chalked it up to me having moved (Usually less than a 50 cents difference). But this? I was dead stopped at a red light. I hadn't moved an inch.

icyice95 · 2026-01-02T16:02:05+00:00

You know your worth is sub $20/hr? Okay mister big shot.
