She’s actually fairly progressive (socially, at least), but on some topics like health she gets kinda nutty… still have not quite beaten the anti-vax out of her although I am happy to say she’s not as bad as she used to be. And she did get vaxxed during Covid after our entire family all got it and pushed her on it.

Urban. My siblings were hospital births, but my mom always has been a proponent of more ‘natural’ solutions so I think she wanted to try the less clinical way. She had a midwife there for the birth.

About 15 metres. I was a home birth and am currently staying with my parents.

Good find, that method is what I used too when I was still split tunneling my regular PC apps. Since then I have migrated to a docker setup using Qbittorrent’s webUI and I just run it’s network through a Gluetun container. Haven’t thought about it in ages.

they were selling wd red (pro?) drives with smr tech

Didn’t they used to have only one “Red” designation? Or maybe I’m hallucinating. I thought “Red Pro” was introduced after that curfuffel to distinguish the SMR from the CMR.

“Facts over feelings” has been used almost exclusively by conservative “influencers” for the last decade (despite them not really caring about facts, mind you). It’s a dog whistle at this point for being a massive dickwad.

on most of my systems I get tired of constantly lsing after a cd so I combine them:

cd(){
    cd $1 && ls
}

(excuse if this doesn’t work, I am writing this from memory)

I also wrote a function to access docker commands quicker on my Truenas system. If passed nothing, it enters the docker jailmaker system, else it passes the command to docker running inside the system.

docker () {
        if [[ "$1" == "" ]]; then
                jlmkr shell docker
                return
        else
                sudo systemd-run --pipe --machine docker docker "$@"
                return
        fi
}

I have a few similar shortcuts for programs inside jailmaker and long directories that I got sick of typing out.
