Google is an advertising company. Vertical integration ftw?

I’d go back, put my feet on the desk and collect a little walkin around money, basically daring them to fire me again…

“I’ll give you something to cry about!”

Therapy helps, but not enough for me to continue the cycle.

Factorio runs pretty well on my old laptop, but the bigger your setup gets, the more CPU cycles it takes. YMMV.

Longest I’ve ever gotten was 1114 cycles, and I haven’t won yet either. You don’t win, you just do better each time…

I tell people it’s the funnest game you’ll ever hate. It’s cathartic as hell when everything is running smoothly, but it just takes one little bump to throw everything off.

I’ve put in over 2,700 hours into Oxygen Not Included, so that’s my vote.

Edit: Oh dip, I just looked it up and I’m slightly over 2,800 now :/

Better matching with dubbed versions of non-English shows. I have to manually search, since the “language” isn’t English in the original, even though there’s an English dub. Using Sonarr

I had a Netgear nighthawk r7800 with ddwrt, which finally crapped out. I went with the TP-link Deco Mesh router as a replacement, and so far it’s working better than the ddwrt router. There are versions with Wi-Fi 6, but i went with the “3 stations for ~$120” and haven’t had any problems with speed, since tht bottlenecks are usually external/cable modem related anyway.

My biggest selling point for the tp-link, it’s much easier to set a local dns, with a fallback to 1.1.1.1, something i could never get to work on ddwrt. So whenever my Jellyfin transcodes bring the Pihole to a screeching halt, it will at least fallback to external dns and not take the whole network with it.

I can also have a base module Ethernet connected to my pc in the office, another hooked up to the cable modem and zimaboard in the livingroom, and eventually, a raspi with a couple of low resource containers (pihole, home assistant, nginx). My goal is to hardwire as many things as i can for speed/signal noise purposes.
