  • The good thing about YOUR homelab is that YOU’RE taking notes solely for YOURSELF and only YOU know how YOU work and how YOU organize YOUR thoughts.

    Normally I’d agree, in that it’s not some corporate production environment, but also I personally want to document my self hosted setup in a kind of document that can at least be accessed and understood by my closest family, if something were to happen to me.

    Convincing them to archive stuff on my Nextcloud instance for example, and them losing access because I’m not around, temporarily or permanently, would spoil the whole point of the endeavor.




  • Unless I had already reached my annual deductible, that is.

    “Hey good news! After about 35% of your annual income is spent on medical bills on top of your triple digit monthly premiums… That health insurance starts to kick in!

    (Until it resets at the end of the year. Teehee!)




  • I can’t imagine writing something like that. Job security? Hah, I’d end up in an inescapable labyrinth of my own making if I named things something that wouldn’t be obvious to my 3-months-later self!

    Maybe that’s the play: He intentionally confuses himself so it takes extra paid time to remember what the heck “SOISOISOI” does, compared to “Whopwhopwhop”.



  • That’s awesome. Like he was really hoping for some dismal and dark exposé on “savage human nature” a la “Lord of the Flies”, and at every turn, proven wrong by people who were happy to just get along and cooperate for mutual benefit…

    … Which should come as a complete shock, social species that we are! /s

    I think these desperately dark tales of people turning on each other in sociological contexts is another propaganda tool to put this idea in our heads that without “qualified leaders” we’d all just be grunting and beating each other over the head with rocks.

    Nah, someone with something to gain has to motivate us to fight each other. What if we just said “lol, anyway” and kept getting along on the raft?
