Getting news via RSS feeds helps. I also cut out what is obvious just bad and getting worse for instance Gaza and Westbank via EI news. I know its getting worse but I cannot take hearing about every death.
Also, I think realizing most doesn't affect you individually is helpful.
When in China I love a nice big apartment because that’s what most families have access to especially if you want to live downtown. Countryside houses are nice but I prefer being able to just go out and do what I want. That said, I recently was walking around the countryside with my child and it is quite nice. Only 5 drive to small city and 20 to big city.
In America I 100% prefer a big house. I’ve lived in all of the above and since most American cities suck imo I would prefer to have my own land and space. Really makes me miss living in eastern piedmont with beautiful mountain views every time you get up.
In Japan I would also want a house! Best of both worlds were you can have your own big house and live downtown. You might not have much of a yard though. My dream would be this would a backyard big enough to play with the family, grill, and hang laundry.
I think the biggest ones that would suck if lost would be Qbit, Jellyfin, and Trilium. Qbit because it download and share a lot with it. Jellyfin because of most of my family’s media consumption is via it. And trilium because most of my notes from the past year plus are there plus imported others. It’s essential.
If a stock broker or insurance actuary had this sort of opinion they would be making 50k not 300k. When else would they study for their exams and certs?
If I as a PhD candidate didn’t work on my own time I will never get my PhD.
This seems like a /antiwork terminally online position to have. I agree in only giving bosses what we are required but this is for you to succeed.
I missed that your cat is sick. What sort of sick? Do you have a pet sitter? Do you have someone with a key? How far away are you going? Can you react if they’re in trouble?
If you can’t take care of them beyond looking at them via a camera this selfhosting question is pointless coping without solving the problem.
I recently left for a month with three cats. I have four amcrest cameras which I blocked in adguard and run them through frigate. Thinking of going back to agentdvr though. I do have one cloud camera, a xiaomi, that I only use on the days when I’m not home to have a backup. It’s not worth going selfhosted and FOSS then having an issue you can fix while away and worrying yourself to death.
lol, what is your favorite whiskey for such an evening?
