  • There is likely a picture of your house on the internet.

  • Looking around here houses have either been in the family for a long time, were built new or have been sold through word of mouth. Lots of those transfers never went through the hands of a real estate shark. I think the whole "building rows of same-ish houses and sell them online" is a rather American phenomenon.

  • For home? Yes. For professional use where you have to deploy and support tens to hundreds of desktops? Immutable + a proper build tool chain is the best thing since sliced bread. And when you already have that, a copy of that for home makes it good for home use too.

  • Change shop, my man. My work desktop consists of a tiling wm, usually has one or two instances of my favourite IDE running, of course has various shells open and the only time I've got LibreOffice Writer open is when I'm crafting a report for a customer. Although a few of our young developers are currently building a tool chain that would make some sort of enhanced markdown the default format for human readable stuff and that would fit a lot better into our "a project is managed in gitlab" workflow.

    I am not a developer, mind you, I am just creating architectural concepts and I implement them. How do you even do that without automation, automated testing, redeployability and all of that? Hell, even when a project requires talking to bare metal, the first thing I'll think about is "how do we get out virtualization layer onto that automatically within the constraints of the customer's network?".

  • Trump might be an idiot, but he is not so much of an idiot to take on the entirety of Europe

    I don't think he'll have to. With Europe busy infighting and a war on the eastern border, he can snack up Greenland just as he's planning to. Nobody will do anything about it at that point.

  • Haix shoes are made in Serbia, iirc. I'm wearing nothing else since years. Once had a problem with the lace holders on a pair, they told me to send them back and actually repaired them. I'm kinda convinced.

  • The Tesla Backlash Is Biblical

  • Yep. It's just back to where it was before the election and hovering around there, I'm not seeing any kind of "crash" beyond that. I mean, I wouldn't care as long as that company belongs to that man, but, let's at least be somewhat fact based.

  • Personally I find the smell of slightly burned vanilla very charming, unfortunately we don't smell much under the breathing equipment. So, kinda wasted effort.

  • Tech millionaire builds 99-unit tiny house neighborhood for homeless Canadians - rent is kept at 30% of income, the large majority of residents pay a maximum of $200 — including all utilities

  • 8k after taxes? That's like 16k before.

  • High risk, high reward I guess. Less social security, more immediate gain.

  • German here, 30% of income after taxes was the rule since a few decades, but in reality many people are closer to 50% now. How do you manage 15%?

    EDIT: Oh, right, just saw the 8k income. That's C-Level money here.

  • Yep, I've seen friends reach the seven figure area through steady seven day weeks and some luck picking their trade and finding industrial clients over a period of fifteen to twenty years. I have seen how little they slept and how kids were basically only possible because they were pretty self reliant from age 12 or 13 and helped a lot around the house. I have no idea how a human could possibly create a thousand times that value in their lifetime.

  • I turned the solar panels back on today

  • Yeah, but that isn't prevented by turning the inverter off. 🤷

  • Which game is it?

  • Back when I was living in a city, sometimes when I couldn't sleep at night I'd walk down to the garage, get my car (which I rarely needed in day to day life, because, city) and do a lap of the outer ring road. Took me maybe 40 minutes, but it was just so serene. On and off ramps empty, you'd encounter a taxi at the lights, some overnight couriers, sometimes a few tuners racing on the two lane highways. Everything was in a flow, car hummed along at 2000rpm, shadows of the streetlights pulsing across the dashboard, some electronica bass thumping in the depths of the trunk. Leaving the city lights behind for the darker sections of the ring outside the suburbs, then taking a certain bridge over a little ridge and there she laid, spread out across the valley with her arteries glowing orange and the dark mountain ranges in the background. Taking my usual exit, turning right twice, carefully balancing the lowered Audi over the unrelentingly steep curb of our apartment complex and then the blinding neon light when I hit the door opener for the garage entrance. Stepping out of the car back in the garage, exhaust crackling, my steps echoing, those were moments when everything was alright with the world. Always slept well after that.

    I get it. I love the transitional state of being between here and there, all by myself in a linear tunnel of what was a few moments ago and what is going to happen next, free to watch the world go by with no foreseeable potpourri of possibilities until I arrive. Then we'll see. Until then, I'm driving.
