I don’t live so far north, but good, light, waterproof boots. Of course, everything else people recommended already - good gloves, socks, jacket, and layers. But for me personally, boots would be the most important.

I do twitch a little when I hear someone saying bravi to a single person :)

We use digital ocean for a pre-production k8s environment, as well as other stuff, no complaints. Terraform works great with it. My only issue is that the worker nodes IPs change during/after an update, so we have to update our firewalls a few times, while the update is running, and after it’s over.

True, but if I used alumnus instead of alumni, wouldn’t I just sound pretentious?

Interesting, is that a comfort thing? Like wearing headphones everywhere with nothing playing in them?

It’s uncomfortable for me too. I asked HR to keep mine private at work, but before this I would just react with a like to the wishes and write a short thatnk you all at the end of the day… The late wishes I would just ignore…

How is duckdns unreliable? I use it just to have wireguard access, been using it for years. Just curious about your issues…

Apartment in a country house, 3 bedrooms, one living/dining area, kitchen, full bathroom, small restroom, cellar/pantry, small garage (which can’t fit our current car), one parking place, decent size terrace and backyard. Two of my kids share one of the bedrooms.

We are thinking of moving to the city, as the kids are getting ready to start uni, and we are looking at 4-6 bedrooms, so every kid has their own room, and maybe even have one or two dedicated offices, since we work from home. We currently have desks in our bedroom and the livingroom. And hopefully more than 2 toilets, since it’s a struggle every morning :)

That sounds like a “it’s complicated” status :)

Good on you guys for making it work!

The stock YouTube app can be disabled, and they only have one choice… Works for my kids.

Look into mattermost. Quite powerful, and free.

Andy Cooks - amazing chef, easy to follow recipes (he uses metric first), but also a nice, down to earth, no-nonsense guy.

I’m relistening to Max Brooks’ “Zombie Survival Guide” while commuting and High Howey’s “Dust” (from the Silo trilogy) when I can focus. I managed to listen to 15 books this year so far, and I am really proud of myself for that. :)

| embrace the Sun with arms outstretched so that my oblivion will be one of my own choosing.

Hot damn! I’ll be holding on to that!

We’re using a self hosted Nexus instance at work. You probably don’t need all the features it offers, but it does its job really well. For free, too.

Zen & DDG. Fennec on mobile.

I have been using an Android XiaomiTV, with SmartTube and Jellyfin, Netflix and Prime. I do have a pihole, though.

That’s a relief!

That’s why I have an alias that does an unattended update and then powers off. I run this every night.

I use Netcup. Reliable, simple, great deals from time to time (such as Black Friday).
