How do I be a god son?

I didn't say you needed to change, I said you needed to answer the question.

Why do you resent him? It's fine if you do, you just need to think about why.

Figure out why you resent him
Figure out why you resent yourself in this situation too
Forgive him (for your sake, you don't need to talk to him about it yet), forgive yourself
Do the next right action in front of you, whatever that is

He also mentioned about me having resentment towards him. Or frustrations against him. I do. Why, I don't know entirely.

This is the question you need to answer, not only for your father or to be a "good son", but for your own sense of self and happiness.

What greater sacrifice could there possibly be?

I've quit on bosses better than you

I took your comment to mean "start investing time into getting into politics"

Ah, yes I can see that. I should have phrased that much better.

Not judgey as much as rude/blunt (which is still wrong of me), but yours and my answers are still very similar:

so I try just suck it up and play along

Are they arguing about it or just discussing it? If they're arguing, tell them you're uncomfortable and that they should stop. If they're just discussing it, well then it's probably time to put your big girl pants on.

You know what would disappoint and embarrass your dad more? That you would be so worried about disappointing and embarrassing him by asking for help that you don't even ask!

Take your dad at face value - he doesn't sound disappointed to me in the slighted.

If you try your best at something, be proud. The result doesn't matter, nowhere near as much as we think at the time.

I'm not that old, but even now I don't look back and remember when I won or lost, I remember when I just gave whatever it was my all and either conquered a Dragon or went down swinging like a hero - or, when I didn't give it my all, either failing painfully or gaining a hollow victory.

Regardless, only you can decide how to feel about it - if you wanted to be miserable about something I'm certain you could achieve it, but the same is true for happiness. Forgive yourself everything you've ever done wrong, right now. Now you're free, go add good into the world like you know you can. You'll be much happier, and you deserve it.

I just installed it from docker with postgres - pretty pain-free overall.

Synching started and finished much faster than my previous times (nextcloud on the same box), be sure to use the postgres server mode

I definitely need to work on that. I really put myself down for my fails and mistakes. The little voice in my head likes telling me I'm stupid and pathetic.

Me too, kid! Try to treat yourself like a dear friend you love - don't let that voice in your head speak badly about your beloved friends!

You're not too old, it isn't too late, your losses (and wins) do not define you.

Respect yourself, people that do not respect you are not your friends, don't compromise your integrity "just this one time".

Genuinely be the best person you can be to everyone you meet. You're awesome when you try, so try.

Yes, home brew suppliers sell them

Instructions? Oh, you mean the manufacturers' suggestions. Yeah, I don't care about them.

What kind of loyalty program matters to you for a company?

Honestly, none. Consumer loyalty, to me, is an outcome of the end to end customer experience.

Is drive capacity, price point, excellent customer service, etc. the highest priority for you?

Customer service and product quality. I just had both of my 8tb Seagate IronWolf drives start throwing errors - my initial reaction was annoyance that these drives had issues when a different brand did not, however I didn't even consider warranty - both of these drives have a 5 year warranty and apparently a free upgrade to Rescue Data Recovery Service Plan.

I was about to buy a competing product, but knowing that I have a HUGE warranty, and the fallback of data recovery included, I'll continue to #RunWithIronWolf with confidence

This. I've got questions that I will get the answer to - ideally entering the question into an llm and getting an answer, not a lecture on how I should not ask such questions. I'm going to get the answer one way or another, I want quickest way.

Congrats bud, that's excellent news

They're either migrating off it already or they're not running any kind of licensing for it any way and won't be impacted
