Yo it’d be sick af to root your cars dash and load some OS onto it and have your own console!

ODB2 into a raspberry pi or a breadboard somehow, get some sick diagnostics application whipped up.

Here’s to projects I’ll never tackle.

China:

Haha! We’re gonna publish this miniscule finding first! Suckers!

Not everyone has stable income. And for them, attacking debt isn’t always possible, especially after they go to get their car inspected and have a $1000 bill to settle in order to get to work for their unstable income. That’s starting your emergency fund goes first.

You need your initial emergency fund to reasonably cover “a bump in the road”. You then get stable, attack debt, and build emergency fund to be 3-6months expenditures, in case of a serious emergency.

Only then do we begin gambling in the investment markets.

Terrible advice.

Emergency money literally must be liquid or it is not, by definition, emergency money.

Do you have emergency money?

First start emergency fund, then take care of debt. Then build a savings for emergency fund, then invest.

100%

Anyone who doesn’t understand this has no family that’s dealt with family breaking over money.

If you’re cool with that kid killing themselves in your name then yeah.

Otherwise what the absolute fuck is wrong with you (not you, OP)? No. This 100% makes you a horrible human being who should have never procreated to begin with and you’re a failure as a parent.

I have a server that I run services through traefik/docker on.

It ALSO has a drive that is a MIRROR of my NAS.

that NAS has a lil slavey twin, an external 14tb USB HDD. It’s on my laptop.

Every time my laptop is idle, It does a little rsync with the servers NAS to stay current.

I keep a 3rd copy (mirroring server NAS) in the cloud.

Not exactly but some people have weaker hearts/poor circulation/etc.

Okay. Your laptop can’t ping or SSH into the server. First, figure out if the problem is one-way. Can the server ping the laptop, or is it just dead in both directions?

You mentioned all other devices communicate normally—do they all fail to reach the laptop, or is the issue isolated to the laptop and server pair?

Physically check the server and confirm both IP addresses to ensure you’re not chasing the wrong info. Once you’ve got the correct IPs, ping the laptop from the server’s side. If the server can’t reach it either, you know this isn’t just a laptop-to-server problem.

Also, did you set up a firewall on the laptop? That’s worth looking into. And yes, it’s annoying, but try the simple stuff: disconnect and reconnect your laptop’s Wi-Fi, reboot it, even run sudo apt update just to rule out anything weird. Start with these basics before moving on to more complicated troubleshooting.

I’ll repeat what I’ve been repeating.

There are no more easy problems left. Government is a hard problem.

Hard problems do not have easy solutions.

Government is a lumbering giant. No single president has been able to meaningfully change the course of American history in their own tenure.

Is the situation dire? Yes. Is it scary? Also yes.

But government doesn’t just clear road blocks. Not even for a dictator. So keep it in mind, and fight like hell to keep your liberties.

Is this a joke?

Anybody who does not have to work is not working class. That’s how it works.

Chris Pratt wouldn’t suddenly be “working class” if he quit acting and became a plumber.

He’d be a hobbyist plumber. Perhaps a professional plumber. But he iwoukd not suddenly become working class.

Guy in my city got bonkers rich off of software in his 20s, fucked off to Thailand to idk appease his cultural fetishes, came home with a wife, and now they run a restaurant. He’s in his 50s.

They do not need that restaurant. They never did.

Dude works hard. And if I were to ask him if he were working class, he’d laugh, say absolutely not, and buy me a beer.

Is he a restaurant owner? yes. Businessman? Yes. Entrepreneur? Yes. Chef? No, but his wife, yes. Restaurant manager? Yes. Otherwise retired? Yes.

Working class??? No.

If Christian Bale donated all of his assets and money, got arrested and out in jail, and then slummed around auto body shops to legitimately get by, would he be working class? Yes.

If it was all for a role, and he secretly had $3m tucked away in case it didn’t pan out, is he still working class? NO.

Sure maybe a really beastly one, but all the available models right now have relatively poor context windows. When assisting in complex setups, they let go of information frequently to keep the dialogue flowing. Suddenly it’ll be giving you code snippets like

BASE_URL = [your base URL]

even when it should know my base URL.

So like, yeah, openai could probably show an AI create a fediverse instance. It’d take as much electricity as Manhattan uses in a day. But I doubt even OpenAIs new pro o1 model could achieve this, currently.

In fact, the context window was a significant weakness in the o1-preview. It was even worse than 4o.

There’s a 1s clip from a song that sounds exactly like my mother telling my name, with the exact acoustic quality of it being beyond headphones, coming from upstairs.

As a kid when I was in that basement, it was a mystery. As soon as I moved out, I figured it out.

Idk why but my bones tell me he dies in a very pitiful way. Like falls out of a window or something.

It was an act of God.

Depends on how much you’re investing. Is it an amount that is not a drop in their bucket? Congrats, you’re evil.

Is it chump change to any millionaire? Don’t sweat it. You’re literally incapable of changing the course with your buy in.

Lots of people saying it’s bad to do as a blanket statement might be in horror if they find out the labor practices that go into any of the goods they purchase. There’s no ethical consumption in capitalism. Doesn’t matter if you’re investing shares or buying a cheeseburger.

Because they’ve learned to write responses in ways that get them lots of ego rubs

The medium is the message.

Someone who is good at social media is good at what social media rewards.

Ego. A narcissist.

Can you walk to a place instead of drive daily?

I replaced a 10 minute commute with a 45 minute walk. Got me walking nearly 8 hours a week. ~20 miles.

I think building it into your routine rather than making it an event is key.
