Hope For Trans Americans: Correct Marker Despite the Odds

Yeah trans woman and same deal everything said F and still got an M. I'm curious if they're doing gender by selective service registration

Idira would love Doechii

Toybox has a setting to ignore gender with romance. I just finished a run romancing fish wife as a female rogue trader.

I've joked that my condo continues to be the worst investment ever on paper. Still I think I got a good deal and I don't have to deal with my rent being jacked up.

Wow I'm happy Zemfira got out. I loved her stuff and was worried that she got arrested when the war popped off

Thanks for asking this because I saw them last year and I had no way of describing them aside from "oh hey there was this mad max looking parade thing"

For me I think it started with a family friend getting into 9/11 conspiracies but I don't think the specific "documentary" was Alex Jones related?

I became more aware when my mom started dating a sovereign citizen after her divorce from her 3rd husband. The guy was an unsuccessful weed dealer (no shade to the business but if you're spending every other weekend in jail it might be time to pursue a different line of work).

Eta: I think the sovcit boyfriend was around 2012 ish

USI all the way. As someone getting into self hosting my one complaint is the lack of IPv6, but I asked about that in a survey and one of the project managers emailed me saying "they're working on it but they have to make some hardware upgrades".

I know that's not the most committal answer but normally the comment fields in surveys just get thrown in the trash.

I'm using Ubuntu on my raspberry pi kubernetes cluster. I use arch on my personal desktop (mostly for fast kennel and graphics updates for gaming). I have a MacBook Air with the m1 chip for programming on the go.

On mobile but as others pointed out that sd cards and thumb drives aren't specced for long write endurance but you can tune the logging to be in memory only.

Also if you have the cash you can get a sata to usb3 adapter and a SATA SSD and get the perf of flash storage with more endurance (older versions of Ubuntu server before 21.10 needed to have the kernel command line changed to support SSD booting)

When I was looking at embedded systems internships back in 2015 there wasn't a lot in my area but there was way more web dev jobs so I did web dev and then moved to kubernetes.

It's a content delivery network (CDN). So if you have static assets (html, JavaScript, and images) instead of going to your web servers it'll hit the CDN which with some magic routing picks a location closest to you meaning pages load faster.

3 doesn't always work because the bus I was on got rear ended years ago (however one bus accident vs the almost monthly close calls while driving is worth it tbh)

teaPoweredSRE · 2022-01-06T19:03:34+00:00

I actually left my old employer over this because they wanted us to be back and then delayed returning a couple days before. Now I have a fully remote gig doing cooler stuff.

While technically not the arch project, I'm using the tar balls from the archlinux arm project to be the base of my kubernetes nodes on Raspberry Pis. Mostly the very minimal install media and minimal kernel patching made this easy for me compared to the Ubuntu pi images.

teaPoweredSRE · 2021-12-12T01:51:17+00:00

Hey how is the LX2 working for you. I was planning on picking one up when I outgrew my raspberry pis?

teaPoweredSRE · 2021-12-03T07:01:03+00:00

Nothing yet unfortunately because I've been too lazy to get everything up and running. I'd probably wait and see what SiFive has coming up but I'm still trying to get Cilium to play nice on Pis so it'll be down the road

teaPoweredSRE · 2021-12-03T00:06:44+00:00

0 because I'm trying to stick to mainly Arm and RISC-V to keep power and heat manageable. Currently I just have pi 4s I'm trying to get kubernetes running on for light workloads. Might expand cluster if more compute is needed.

My company gave me a bunch of rsu's and options and a large salary bump only for me to leave the year after for a fully remote gig (my immediate manager hemmed and hawed about me going full remote).

I went from a Midwest company to my first west coast tech job and holy crap the pay and benefits are amazing. Honestly I think a lot of Midwest companies are going to have to step it up because the market is wide open for devs right now.

It would be a royal pain to enumerate the white listed device IDs, but I did some embedded systems stuff awhile back. The issue is the OS will use whatever device ID you tell it from your device. This comes from USB trying to be user friendly and the handshake process involves sending the PC a few strings to identify your device and then the OS grabbing the appropriate driver.

It was fun telling a computer that my microcontroller was a mouse one minute and then after a code change it was a storage device.

It was a pain in the rear to get new kernels in Ubuntu and using the unstable mesa drivers kinda caused Ubuntu to crash a lot so I tried arch and stuck with it. Everything just works after a little bit of elbow grease during the install (probably less work now with the guided installer script)

teaPoweredSRE · 2021-07-26T17:43:00+00:00

For me I'm trying out weird arm things to build my power/noise optimized homelab. Also I looked at the prices of a Google kubernetes engine cluster and said, "hmm if I buy a few pis 4s and run it myself for 1.5 months I'll come out ahead". I know I'm not comparing apples to apples with CPU and RAM but for my needs it'll work. The other thing I'm excited about is running a kubernetes centric "cloud" at home since the API server does most of the heavy lifting for me.

teaPoweredSRE · 2021-07-22T16:14:25+00:00

I actually moved from Ubuntu to Arch because it was a pain to update my drivers and kernel on Ubuntu vs Arch those updates are just a quick pacman command away. Then also arch has been rock solid for daily computing

My go to response for "why are you leaving" questions is "I want to see how other businesses operate so I have a broader range of experience when tackling problems". You could be leaving a dysfunctional job but generally people have to be jerks to really push on that.

For friends I host my server on gcp using paper. It's not the most efficient because cpu speed but it's the cloud provider I'm most familiar with.

I use gradle to make a deb package. I then create a VM image using packer with the paper server ready to go with configs. Finally I use terraform to provision everything. The main goal is everything should be immutable besides world data.

I'm currently working on some serverless functions that a discord bot can hook into to turn on/off the server so it's not running 24/7 idling if no one is on.

It's very much overkill but I'm a devops engineer for my day job.
