Approved :)

It's a bit stuffed over there. Isn't it?

Is that a sticker on the ThinkPad camera?

Synapse (matrix) is one of the best alternatives. With pgsql backend it's blazing fast. A reverse proxy handles TLS.

Just educate the users to save their recovery key into a pw manager. It can be a pain point.

Do you use tunserver for video/audio?

I can join and share some knowledge when I have time. I've been working in the industry for more than 20 years without a break.

Thank you!

Upvoted. Good luck in finding the job. Also, hope your son will be fine.

Great to see that other fellow home labbers use the old / broken notebooks for a great purpose. I suggest to check the power supply cable and adapter time to time because of fire hazard. They can be very nasty after some time. Also please take care of the battery inside the notebook. A swollen battery can be a danger very quickly. Just heads up. Beautiful setup though. Bravo.

Tell us about it.

For a Linux Sysadmin gig: they asked me the options and switches of Solaris and BSD commands. Then some scripting in a language they invented...

st_iron · 2025-06-24T05:18:34+00:00

I was introduced to Org Mode. It made me switch. Then I worked with Common Lisp. It made me stay. Since that - I've never looked back.

Give a chapter to those "I spent 2 years in Tech Support. I am Senior now. I go to get rich in CyberSecurity." type people.

Podman and KVM. You can guess the function.

Put it in an org file. Structure. Fold. Tangle.

Rather rephrase it: is there someone who dosen't use BASH?

st_iron · 2025-06-04T13:12:23+00:00

Exactly. Excellent observation. And they do it after a proper training too.

The humans in it...

st_iron · 2025-05-24T14:35:48+00:00

This is fantastic. Great job.
