If you aren’t rebooting a Linux box 15 to 30 times per year then you aren’t applying kernel security updates. I view uptime fanatics as walking security problems and assign an appropriately low trust value for their actions on computers in general.

Agreed. My problem is that every dental association I’m aware of recommends dental X-rays on an individual, clinically justified basis and not a regular schedule. There are very few dental scenarios requiring yearly X-rays. They do them to get more money.

I don’t like Taylor Swift music. My not liking it has no bearing on her obvious talent in the industry. I get people not liking GTA. Ignoring their obvious talent is silly.

I have no interest in maintaining a gaming PC but want to play indie games that don’t launch on console. I also have money. I’ve been considering it.

That is cool. I use a gps NTP server on my home network and live with sub-millisecond time sync. I’d go PTP but the equipment is a bit too expensive if the only value add is better time sync and I don’t need additional bandwidth. Prices coming down would be nice.

The sole set of wired headphones in my house is for my OpenBSD laptop.

OpenBSD 7.9 2 months ago

I use it for home router, my laptop, several vms for various services, and on one vps I keep around should I need to quickly set something up. I keep a proxmox server for anything I can’t or won’t run on OpenBSD.

It is amazing to me that people still answer their phone. If it isn’t my wife or kids then my phone has a silent ringtone. If your voice mail doesn’t successfully transcribe to text then I delete it without listening. I check my postal mail since mail fraud is the only thing still taken seriously by anyone.

The ipv8 one required all traffic on a network comprising 4 billion ips to go through one server. It was far from sensical.

I’m going to guess no one responding to me has actually tried connecting to an IPv6 only network because it works without incident. Will your apps? Who knows - apple hasn’t always been great at enforcing that.

I went decaf drinks only back in 2024. I was fine and thinking “what’s the big deal” until day three. I will never forget that day. So horrible.

Still decaf only. Has been a pretty positive change for me. Kicked the soda habit completely. Sleep is better. I find I’m even all day. I generally only get tired when I’m bored.
