Sounds like you want a siem like Wazuh. Its agent can collect journald logs from any number of systems. It also has a gui you can interact with to parse logs.

Vim doesn’t hate you. It loves who you could be.

Desperation is a powerful motivator.

Sure. It was a single stall shower room, beautifully tiled in black and enclosed with a full glass door. It had two knobs, hot and cold on the wall that had the rain head. Turning the knobs turned all of the water on everywhere.

The rain head was on non stop, but you could adjust each wall jet like a round garden hose tip. Tighten to concentrate the spray, loosen to make it wider. Tighten all the way to turn off the jet. The wall jets could also be moved in a wide circular arc from their fixed point on the wall.

It was all mechanical, no smart features or anything. I left all the jets on because why the fuck not.

My strangest shower thought came from my strangest shower.

I worked for a small company years ago that paid for a “spa day” for its employees after completing a year long death march project. I had a mediocre massage, but afterwards I went to change I their shower room and decided to give the shower a go.

My god. It had a 3ft square rain shower head and no less than 12 separate side jets on the walls, all adjustable. Every inch of my body was hit simultaneously with hot, pressured water. It was like wearing a suit of hot water armor, head to toe. No matter how I moved, water. It was basically a standing bath. They must have had a city water main hooked up to that shower stall, as the pressure was just ridiculous.

I stood in there for nearly 30 minutes. It was wonderful, and also made me realize that this is how the ultra rich lived. This kind of luxury as an after thought, an expectation. For that moment of time, on someone else’s dime, I was in that world. That realization was almost as surreal as the physical experience itself.

You can go “all I one” pretty easily at this point. Something like the ecoflow delta pro fits your needs. It’s a whole house battery system with its own inverter. They have a grid tie smart panel that you can itergrate it with, the batteries are expandable by stacking them under one inverter, and each inverter can hook up 6kwH of solar. If you need more battery storage or solar panels, you can hook more stacks together.

Here’s a solid review by someone who installed one.

Try Ollama. No payment required.

I wish sonos had better interoperability, but I did discover if you make a group of speakers and then cast to the “primary” speaker with symfonium, it broadcasts to the whole group.

Was my only issue with it, but that’s 100% a “sonos is shit” problem, not the app.

Slay the spire, balatro and Peglin also fit here.

Amazing indie games, all one time buys.

Ads, ads everywhere.

Besides there, there is also a 4k OTA standard, ATSC 3.0. Most TVs don’t support it yet, but some do. Worth googling before you buy. You can also get something like an silcondust 4k standalone tuner and plug that into your home network instead. You then load its app to watch over the air TV in 4k.

If you do buy the silicondust tuner, you can go further and get a DVR going. Plenty of free projects that will help you setup and record TV like jellyfin, and many of them will auto-skip the ads too with an application called comskip.

The difficulty of keeping something working scales exponentially as its complexity grows. Something of 1x complexity take 1y effort, but 2x complex is 10y effort, 3x complex is 100y, on and on.

Phones/computers/apps are at hilarious levels of complex now, and even 100k people running flat out can barely maintain the illusion that they “just work.” Add enshittification heaping its intentionally garbage experience onto the unintentional garbage experience that is modern computing, and it’s just gotten stupid.

They opt not to refund after the return window closes. You will get a generic email that the item was not received in the time alloted.

I don’t have plasterboard walls. They are lath and plaster.. The studs and framing are beautiful old hardwood.

It’s a sturdy and lovely old house that has stood the test of time. It’s one of the millions in the states that I was talking about.

There are 100 year old houses in America made of fine timber or brick that look better than this and will last longer.

It’s a big country. Modern construction is rarely built to last, but there are millions of homes here that would fit your description without issue.

Yeah, this is the normal price of a house in many large cities. It’s a lot mind you, but an adult in a high paying field can get a mortgage that covers that.

You don’t need a million dollars to buy a million dollar house. You need to be able to make a million dollars and enough to live on in 30yrs, or whatever the length of the mortgage is. Someone in their 30s-40s can fit that bill, so just be yourself.

If they ask if you have financing, say yes. If they ask more questions, say you will be glad to discuss that after the tour. Afterwards, just politely say you’re not interested and leave.

He worked for the gaming site/podcast “Giantbomb” years ago. Pretty sure the image macro is pulled from one of their podcast videos.

The MAC is generally the fingerprint. Looks like Apple handles this when searching as well:

I haven’t heard of anything else besides MAC being broadcast during the searching phase. Can you give an example or technical term?

They use randomized MACs there too.

You can set MACs to not randomize for specific WiFi, but by default it’s on and random.

IPhone/android randomize their MAC addresses now to prevent this kind of long term tracking.

Stores will see you walking the store anonymously and be able to create a general customer heatmap, but since this virtual MAC rotates, they won’t be able to correlate this to you indivdually long term.

Peanut is a versatile flavor. Sweet, savory, whatever.

You could use it with ketchup if you like. The mix could be a pretty nice combo to use as a sauce for a Thai dish, honestly. Just on bread would probably be pretty overwhelming alone.
