May as well get used to the cold weather by moving north since we will have to run to Canada next.

I have built and maintained all manner of home servers using inexpensive used hardware. Any PC or old laptop can do this stuff. Unless you're doing something crazy on them, I've not encountered a lot of situations that I could not sort out. Usually throwing some more memory and storage into them solves most issues.

I ran a used desktop machine with an i3 processor (retired school system) for YEARS as my NAS with zero issues beyond adding a little cooling. Did the same with a firewall, worked for ages with no issues.

Getting a mini pc is nice if you are putting it in your living room, but there are still many choices for small form factor devices. Not quite as small, but still pretty small. Lots of them were used as POS terminals at stores. Wipe 'em, reload and start fresh.

Firefox reader mode FTW.

You should probably switch from omeprazole to famotidine. I used to be on omeprazole until my doc noted that there are indications of it be a carcinogen when used long term. Switching was a non-issue for me.

Of course, I'm just some rando on the internet. You may want to seek some reliable info on the topic. Look for PPI vs H2 receptor antagonist.

I'm doing this one now mostly. Current company was just bought by a bigger company. All major projects have been stopped while we wait for the new bosses to show up and tell everyone what to do (then fire 2/3 of us).

I'm busy looking for my next job now. I have learned that any time there is any major acquisition or merger, get looking THE DAY it is announced. Do not wait, do not hope it will get better.

The management will let the news settle in, then after about a week or two, they'll send some useless motivational email about how we should value our work, take pride in it, whatever. They're just trying to keep everyone busy so that they won't leave because the bosses will get a bonus if they can keep the place stable long enough to hand it over to new management. They let everyone believe that everything will be fine, no need to panic.

The rule is, when you start to see the faces of the new company, it's fucking over. You have weeks/days left before you're gone. They've already gone through the staff, they know the names, who's worth keeping (very few), what they do, how much it will cost in lost productivity when they fire everyone off. They have consultants at the ready to come in and clean up the mess left behind after they sweep everyone out. Any hope that you're a good person or that you know something that nobody else does and that's useful is just wishful thinking. You represent an expense and they want those to go away. They will spend as little money on you as possible to make you go away. They will typically offer no severance or as little as possible (in the US). They will do what they can to fend off a potential lawsuit so you won't have any grounds to sue once you're cut. They'll keep the people in other countries that actually have labor protection laws and drop all the US workers as fast as possible.

Never sit around hoping things will work out, they will not. Just dust off your resume and get at it.

I got something similar, just the remote version. Was supposed to have 1:1 with one of the corporate officers (c-suite). He was there, but then, fucking HR lady joined. As soon as she got on, I knew what was up.

They whacked me and most of my team that day in the span of about an hour and a half. HR is a bunch of useless twats and their only value is to read the "you're fired" script quickly.

But more importantly, bullshit like this is a quick and easy way to ensure that he dominates news cycles.

It took him moments (or some kid who works for him more likely) to cook this up and post it. It will not harm his ability to be a twat in any way, nothing will happen because of this. Well, except that he keeps everyone talking about him which is all he wants. Keep CNN breathless pretending this is news.

How about all the news networks learn to ignore his bullshit for a minute? Oh wait, then nobody will hate watch and soak in the advertising.

I truly dislike what has become of us.

I have uttered the phrase, "ARE YOU TRYING TO BURN MY DICK OFF WHAT THE HELL!?!!"

Could just rename it to "asshole roundup" and perhaps expand the effort a little.

I feel like I slept through the point where everyone decided to stop answering calls, answering doors and generally chose to turn to a life of hermitage. It would have been nice to get an email or something so I at least would have known.

Seems like a dog should be able to handle things like doorbells and people. These are somewhat common things.

Kinky girl with a heart of gold and panties of brown.

Homeboy found the keeper of all keepers, if she'll share poopix, she'll probably do all sorts of stuff, she's just waiting for her moment to shine!
