Of course my shit hole state would have not one, not two, but three horrible people vying for governor.
There's a question that has always bothered me. Wtf do you do now that you have an obviously stolen, used catalytic converter? Find an unscrupulous junk yard? Take it to a pawn shop?
I'm luckily enough to work on a small team like the one you described, and yeah - our trello board isn't fully fleshed out. We can put vague descriptions of what needs to be done and the team gets it done.
I think SMART goals are one of those rare times where an HR course writer unintentionally hit on something that some people need to hear. There's a junior engineer on my team whose goal was just, "I want to get better at infosec" - not measurable, time boxed, etc. by trying to at least hit one or two of the guidelines, they were able to flesh out this goal into things like "I want to attend a major security conference this year" and "I will study for, and achieve my Security+ cert".
It worked for them - and helped them clarify their broad nebulous goal into smaller specific and achievable goals - but obviously like all business/hr things SMART goals aren't for everyone.
For those not familiar, this is a fairly good explanation of SMART goals.
Plus oh-my-zsh and the powerline 10k theme - this is my go-to shell.
I'm a few months into using CachyOS on my zephyrus gaming laptop and it's been a joy.
I actually ran into my first issue yesterday and had to boot into the windows drive for the first time in what feels like forever - I needed a Windows only display editor program for Nextion screens.
I tried the installer on bottles and playonlinux, But I couldn't get the program to load. I will try again today so that if I have to load it up in the future I don't have to switch back to Windows, but on the off chance anybody knows how to fix it I'm all ears.
Yeah, and she can use boulders to block attacks - but it looks like the main method of attacking will be using echos of baddies. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I cannot over state how much I love that "Legend of Zelda" finally stars Zelda, not to mention the art style... But why did they give her apparently no offensive capabilities? Why wouldn't she be able to swing a sword? I want to see my Zelda kick ass, not summon monsters to fight for her.
Moon reader is my go-to. Unfortunately it doesn't sync reading progress, but since I only read on my tablet it's not too bad.
That's how I handled my "smart" TV - I had a spare minipc from my old homelab, threw Linux on it and plugged it into the HDMI port.
It has never connected to my network, despite the BestBuy employee insisting it would need firmware updates for better picture.
Oh snap, are you the developer of Viewtube? If so, first off - great job. I do the infrastructure side of IT for my day job but aside from some basic go, I couldn't code something like this to save my life.
I wish I had the chops to contribute to the project.
This. My first serious network upgrade was splitting out the router/firewall, Wifi, and switching to a Ubiquiti Edgerouter Lite, 8 port Netgear managed switch, and a Ubiquiti AP Pro.
It ended up being around the price of a night hawk, but I had way better control over the firewall/NAT rules and it made future upgrades less painful as I could just target the switching vs WiFi for a change.
As a side note, nearly all wifi routers that I've come across can act as just a access point. My current setup is using the Orbi mesh wifi system to get a decent signal to my attic bedroom.
I've been running Viewtube in my homelab for my family after the actual YouTube started misbehaving. Was it because I use Firefox? DNS adblock? Unlock origin? Who knows!
I absolutely love that with Viewtube I can make the front page only my subscriptions. It seems to be relatively low on resource usage as well.
But lately, the lack of features is starting to get to me - namely closed captions and "Add to queue".
Are there any other self hosted options that are more feature rich in this regard?
This game was easily one of my favorites to playthrough blind, then go back and do a 100% achievement run. "Choices matter" actually applies as main characters can just die, and their absence completely changes the outcome of the game.
It was a delight.
David Bowie and Prince were holding this all together. When they went, the world lost its mind.
I'm playing something every night before bed as my calm/reset time.
Just finished up Yakuza: Like A Dragon - that ending hits hard. I'll probably go for something different next.
I still use my gaming laptop - but mostly just for Last Epoch multiplayer/BG3. I don't like the controller experience for either game, and i have a better voice setup for multiplayer chat on my PC.

I've been quite happy with my Steam Deck - both as a gaming console and as a secondary computer when it's docked, but for newer titles I picked up a Rog Zephyrus M16 (2023) last year.
Now that Windows is going off the deep end with AI, I'm looking to dual boot/trial Linux on this laptop with the goal to give Microsoft the boot.
It's a beefy laptop:
- 13th Gen i9-13900
- 32GB Memory
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070
- 1TB NVMe (Windows)
- 2TB NVMe (Linux)
I added the second drive to avoid any issues with dual-booting with Grub/Windows Bootloader - instead making the Linux device the primary boot device and spamming Esc if I want to change to the Windows drive.
For distributions, I'm most familiar with Debian/Ubuntu - it's the daily driver for my work laptop, and the vast majority of my home lab VMs are Ubuntu. With the Steam Deck, I started to get more into Arch with the Steam Deck, and now it's the OS of choice for my HTPCs for simple streaming/Plex media player. I've also messed around with ZorinOS (basically a fancy skinned Ubuntu).
I need some advice on what to throw on this laptop - and some suggestions on how to squeeze the best performance out of this (Optimus vs. Proprietary NVIDIA vs. Open source drivers).
Almost all of my own padlocks have been picked, save for just two, the ABUS 64TI/40 and the Master lock LOTO. Still relatively new to the tubular lock game, so the yellow Urban bike disk brake lock as also eluded me.
I found getting the two cut away locks helped immensely - the American helped me really hone in on how over setting pins feel, and the Sparrow (after disassembling and putting in some of their advanced driver pins) showed how I was accidentally picking more than one pin with my older/bad technique.
If anyone has suggestions for the Titanium or LOTO locks, I'm all ears!

Teletubbies made of wet spaghetti, horror realistic night time Christmas holiday
I find pasta makes everything weird and fun.
Prompt: Santa eating cookies by the fireplace at Christmas, but the cookies are made of spaghetti
Not quite what I wanted, but that pasta beard tho.
My first non-smart watch that's more than $20. I picked it up from Retro Watch Guy and have been really impressed with the simplicity of a manual, analog watch.
The design mimicks old parking meters and there's a continuous 60 minute timer that you can reset with the top button.
