I work in logistics. I've always had a fascination with tech, and was leery of all these neato things on offer from big tech, from social media to the cloud.

Found out I could self-host, and got to learning.

I hate listening to my younger brother talk about technology. He is just a sheep in an apple pen, and perfectly happy. I don't get it.

Lol they denied my application. Nice.

Edit: it was my own carelessness. Damn.

Having trouble verifying my email. Gonna see if it works without VPN.

Now you've really piqued my interest. This may be the winner.

That's my next stop after this contract runs out.

Yeah, it was ready for my old AMD machine. My new Nvidia box...nah.

But since I've switched to XFCE, I don't need to worry so much about new-fangled things like Wayland...for now.

I appreciate that.

It is a narcissistic childish presupposition that there is assumed opportunity cost for my vote.

"Of COURSE you would have voted Democrat! Why WOULDN'T you?"

I make a fair bit of money. Like them or not, Republicans are kinder to my income level.

Don't just assume I'd vote Democrat.

It got too cold in my Chicago-area garage for these guys, so I had to bring them in early. I planned on waking them up Valentine's Day week, just to get an early start on the growing season. But here we are.

The sundews had been in the tent all winter, but the flytraps and sarracenia were enjoying a nice garage nap.

Let's see how we're looking in a few weeks.

Oh, and I'm going to ditch this setup in a few weeks. I am ordering shelves and 4-foot Barrina lights. As many lights as I have read about and all the studying I've done, for whatever reason plants just grow unusually well under Barrina lights. My succulents have taken off, and I'm assuming my carnivorous plants will as well.
