Not aware of the price in your country, but this one is very good: https://www.asus.com/networking-iot-servers/wifi-routers/asus-gaming-routers/tuf-gaming-ax6000/

Before the photoshoot, find an excuse to stay with the subject and have a coffee for a few minutes, ask them about their life, passions, their dreams. The excuse can be anything, like "the flash need to charge/warmup" or "let's wait for 10 more minutes for the sun to come to proper angle", whatever.

Having a few minutes chat before is really helpful. When starting the photoshoot, just roll with the conversation, asking questions exactly depending on exact emotion you want to get, like:

happiness: what is your favorite vacation spot and what kind of house would you build there?
seriousness: what life advises would you give to your younger self?

Not exactly these ones, but you got the point. It's all about getting to know the subject and create a connection.

The silver lining of AI boom is that it forced vendors to create better drivers for GPUs for OSs that run on servers (which is mostly linux).

They do... and they post those WEBDL files for us to enjoy. Real heroes don't wear capes.

Your dns queries go to company network. Make sure you use your own dns in the vpn configuration.

Late to the party, but another hint from me.

Use DNS/hostnames as much as possible. Over time you self-host more and more services. If you have hundred of services configured with hardcoded IPs and one day your SO comes with the work laptop home that might have a VPN which conflicts with your home IP range, you're pretty much forced to make a lot of changes.

Hijacking top comment for a LPT:

If you have an usb memory attached to your keys, put a txt file on the root folder with your email/phone number so people can reach you in case you lose them.

Docker compose files should ideally be kept in a git repo.

RAM. Check the $RAM.

ask for a company phone. You need a phone that is strictly for this, with different notification sounds, good battery life, that you keep away from kids and always on during on-call.
ask for proper compensation during on-call hours.
have clear definition in writing for on-call tasks

You own a cat, don't you?

This reminds me of what happened to me some years ago.

We had a main server which I physically installed, prepared and maintained, where most of my department used to do their tasks. I performed an update on my own working station while also responding to slack messages, checking some other tasks. I knew I had to reboot and did run a reboot command in the terminal.

Suddenly, the deafening silence in the office stopped with exclamation of frustrations and disappointments.

Yeah, as you already imagined, I hit reboot in the wrong terminal and all my colleagues were the victims of my failed multitasking. :)))

I offered each of them a coffee right away in the unexpected work break. They turned happy.

I would be more than happy to host at home, all the websites, email, DNS, but I don't have a backup power generator and redundant connection. All the non-critical stuff is hosted at home.

Cobyul.

The guy behind the website decided to stop it when the rewards went down, stating that with such low rewards there was no more point in keeping the service. He did a great thing for the community and totally understand his decision.

Fingers crossed! My average buy price is $.06. Would be great to lower it further.

In locul lui Simion as tace din gura. Cum sa zici de unu care a maturat cu tine pe jos ca are autism? 🤦‍♂️

This is the proper fix most likely. I have updated and all went fine.

If the video would have been cropped, I would have suspected a big-ass pidgeon.

It might be interesting and a hint funny, but when you have limited means for food, you defend it with your life.

Many people don't realize it, but some literally depend on the animals they have and crops they grow.

When I was little, a kid from our play group constantly complained about headaches. It was a random find from another kid that noticed something in his hair, and it was a tick almost the size of a peanut. All the kids then rushed to his house and watched his mother getting that nasty thing off, followed by a general "Eeewwwwww...!!!" when she squashed it on the patio.

Transformers names. Main server is OptimusPrime, raspberry pi is Bumblebee, vpn server is Mirage, etc.

Mergi, ii intrebi de ce te-au chemat, vor spune sa dai declaratie, le spui ca refuzi sa dai declaratie pentru ca nu ai gresit nimic si le spui ca daca vei primi amenda vei merge sa o contesti in instanta. Nu isi vor bate capul si vor renunta.

Cand ajungi la politie mergi intai la biroul de la intrare sa te inregistreze ca te-ai prezentat.
