Git is to GitHub as porn is to PornHub. Simple as.

Instead of having job security and working with a few H1B visa holders, now my entire division is apparently being moved to Bangalore. I definitely feel like I'm winning now.

24TB Seagate drives are on sale for 249 right now, actually a good time to stock up

Mine was a $500 fee each for 2 cats, plus $25/ea per month. $3,400 over my stay there, and do you think I got my $400 security deposit back? Lol

Glad I got out when I did

My hosting costs are ~$500 a month. I get about $118 a month from Patreon subs. I also get $200 a month from a single advertiser. Still need to pay ~$200 a month out of pocket.

Ads suck, sure, but shit's expensive for hobbyists.

I've made some DIY smart home devices with some ESP32s, I know how much premade stuff can be overpriced for sure. I still want to make a TOF sensor for my water filter salt tank

We've gotten too used to the price of tech being so low because we're almost always the product. The Meta VR headsets, Alexa, Google Home, anything where data from us can be harvested, they'll gladly subsidize to help get it into our homes.

I'm really hoping the HA voice stuff keeps getting better and better, we need it if we're ever going to get people away from these data harvesting "assistants"

I'm pretty far left, but I wouldn't say "liberal", more like "this hexbear place seems pretty good"
