Don't change anything.

Same here!

Yeah. Very similar story on my side.

I slowed down a lot, both at my job and with side projects. And you know what, Earth is still spinning!

Kids are here now, working on myself, trying to figure out things, be happier. Etc.

The Only Way Is West by Bradley Chermside

Book about Camino de Santiago. I like walking (and Camino is lot of walking), so this is interesting.

Sovietistan: A Journey Through Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan by Erika Fatland

Nice book if you find this part of world interesting.

Now started to read "The Border: A Journey Around Russia" by same author.

12 hours/day

I can't even imagine working a minute longer than 8 hours per day, and 12+ hours is woow. Is this common in US?

I work 8 hours my whole career (IT). My wife works 6 hours per day. (central Europe)

This is great! I like sites like this, and believe me, lot of people do.

I had few sites like this (site which gives you random stuff). Some of them were great success.

My latest site is this: https://randomcountrygenerator.com/

It was sad moment, but this week, after 15 years I have shut down and deleted my last Linode vps.

Migrated to Hetzner, I hope it will be ok.

So true. Now that they are 3yr and 6yr old. I'm still not sleeping nowhere as before, but it's getting a little bit better.

Do you remember good old times when almost every Linode birthday they bumped either memory x2, storage space or something else, for free?

Well, with this AI thing going on right now. Maybe it is not bad idea to try with making up countries.

"Hey AI, generate some random country name, flag, capital city and borders. Oh yes, and few pictures of country."

Sorry HN, nothing sophisticated or fancy. Life is really busy last few years (family :), day job, building house).

Next time it will be some great tool from me, I promise. :)

No. Bora is strong wind and can last for days.

Correct. It was passive income. Once running, I didn't touched it almost at all.

I'm using TileMill to generate tiles. I does not support webp. I exported it to png, and then with some one line script converted all png's to webp.

It was topic about showing your side projects, or something similar.

I had small website just like [1] but with ads (I sold it later). It gave me lot of traffic, more visibility, eventually better Google rank and more money from ads.

Such small/fun sites can get you real money!

I had site similar to this that generated 600-700$ USD per month as passive income.

I didn't touched it, sometimes for many months in a row.

Oh, now I understand.

1. Linode VPS 12.5$/month

2. domains around 100$ year

3. Backblaze personal backup 60$ year.

Working on 2011 Mac Mini in Macvim, cheap and works perfectly fine.

I mentioned fun part, and will skip mentioning health insurance, car etc.

It's few yeras old now, but still half baked. I will rewrite it, make better UX.

Just read this "Snowbound" at Outside Online. What a story!

note: it's Garmin inReach Mini, if someone is interested.

"The dogs bark, but the caravan goes on."

Also when I think I have problems in life, this helps a lot: "Things could be (much) worse." (I think it is from Stoicism)

Correct! I have been there.

I put company laptop back to backpack, then hide backpack to it's place under desk.

Also, emails on my phone is big no after working hours.

No, never thought about it. But good point, let me check.

Thanks, will check it.

Well I tried with similar site year ago and Google rejected it. So I think answer is probably not possible.

Yes, I have. 3000€ since the ads are there. Also from 6, 7 years ago, I was learning to code.

We could optimize (probably we will) lot of things like you mentioned.

But then, we will still waste 20 times more looking at stupid things on internet.

What is current state of Hackintosh this days? Is it stable?
