commands involved:

minimodem -A -q --rx 9600 --confidence 2 --sync-byte 0xaa | socat stdio pty,echo=0 | minimodem -A --tx 9600 --sync-byte 0xaa

sudo pppd proxyarp mtu 1280 persist nodeflate noauth lcp-echo-interval 10 crtscts lock 10.10.1.1:10.10.1.2 /dev/pts/2 9600

Watching the dumpsterfire of dmesg -w as my array rebalances with a failed disk while listening to the doom soundtrack is a feel

Am I valid to bring a full size mechanical keyboard to work?

Meds, eating, self care ( - ) 

Me: why do I feel sad?
Me: oh because my Adderall is wearing off and I haven't eaten in 9 hours so my brain is basically dying

Going back on my meds after being off them for a couple days means I lost some of my tolerance to the side effects it seems

Politics reference 

Why am I binge watching videos of UK Parliament? I'm an American

@natalie I feel called out :3

skin, accutane, acne 

currently day two of accutane

Whoa, my skin is definitely a bit dryer

I broke out a little bit over night and I think that might be because I didn't do my usual skincare routine because of starting accutane (I'm going to be using more gentler stuff because accutane makes your skin quite fragile)

The fabled "initial breakout" is apparently much more noticeable, I'm nervous

@maple I tend to collect computer stuff :p

@maple Yupp I'm super excited to put it together! I've been planning to build a storage server for years and it's great that I've snagged this at a decent price

It holds 15 3.5" drives 😎
I have 5x 3tb WD Reds and some assorted smaller drives to be added to it

I've also purchased a nice (but cheap as well) server motherboard which takes the Intel Pentium G3258 that I have. Plus 8GB DDR3 πŸ‘

I plan on using it as an ESXi datastore for my servers as well as some media/document storage

Computerz 

@maple Yeah! :blobthinkingsmirk: Pic of the case in question

(PSU and drives didn't come with it :p )

Ayy I bought a deeply discounted rackmount computer case in the parking lot of a home depot today and it had some missing parts. (ebay local pickup)

Called the manufacturer and they're sending me the missing parts for free 😎
