Fediverse is intimidating to normies.

Latex gloves are hand condoms.

These are finger condoms.

Gonna wanna see the source code on that “Pray” button. I don’t think it actually does anything.

He told the dude that made his Filet-o-fish.

They make stranded bulk cable, but there’s really not much use for it.

Nobody wants to pay people to terminate cat6 patch cables. It’s not cost effective compared to just buying premade cables of various lengths.

Maybe that’s why you are downvoted? You are otherwise factually correct. You shouldn’t use solid cable for patches…solid cable belongs in the wall/plenum to the back of the patch panel, where it doesn’t get messed with. It’s too fragile to be used outside of a wall.

Stranded is more flexible, making it better suited for patches, but it also doesn’t punch-down into jacks as nicely (making it a poor choice for runs between patch panels/wall jacks)

Just…whatever you do…don’t get CCA. Cheap crap shouldn’t even be allowed to call itself CAT6.

You wouldn’t download a wallet.

Nope. I worked for CVS (corporate) once upon a time, but not on the hill…and literally almost everybody in this state has worked for CVS, APC, or Electric Boat at some point in their lives.

It’s because it’s incomplete advice.

It shouldn’t just be “Be Yourself”

It’s missing two important words, in the middle.

Be confident in yourself.

Some people dislike musicals because they are unrealistic…nobody they know just bursts into song and dance all the time.

I think those people need to find new friends.

Come to Rhode Island.

We have a surplus of JWU culinary arts graduates who can only afford to cook in a van down by the river.

Native Rhode Islander here.

Food trucks are a staple of life. They are a quintessential part of RI culture. We have events at Roger Williams Park like every week in the summer and there’s lines of food trucks that each have like a 30 minute queue.

When I was in highschool (over 20 years ago now…), there were two big hangout spots: the coffee shop, and the hot weiner truck.

You all haven’t lived till you’ve choked down 4 all-the-way, lovingly crafted on some old Mediterranean guys hairy forearm, and washed it down with 24oz of iced cold coffee milk (milk with coffee-flavored syrup) at 2am.

I do aliases through simplelogin and have my domain hosted on mxroute.

My domain is my real last name…so I have subdomains like @myfirst.lastname.com gets pointed to simplelogin for aliases, which then forwards to mxroute. @mywifesfirst.lastname.com goes to the same simplelogin and points to her Gmail for now.

Mxroute is cheap and they’ve got decent web apps but really more made for traditional IMAP clients. And they don’t really do groupware…just email. But that’s really the hardest part, from an admin perspective.

Adminning email is getting to be a sacred art. It’s a lot of work and a constant arms race both against incoming spam, and the spam filters for whoever you are sending to. A whole ton of work for what is really an essential Internet service (when I can’t get into my credit card account because enom is slacking on forwarding mail, it’s a problem…and also why I switched to simplelogin).

For how cheap mxroute is, IMO, absolutely not worth the effort of self-hosting unless it’s actually your day job and you get some sick sadistic pleasure out of doing it on your own time.

The mxroute admin/owner himself also seems like a pretty chill guy. He’s been pretty forward and transparent on Reddit and lowendbox.

Edit to add: important stuff…make sure that you have an email address that you don’t host, to access stuff you need to for the stuff that you do (i.e. DNS, mail hoster, MFA provider, directory service, etc). I use a free proton for that.
