Oof this hit me hard.

My youngest has ADHD, as do I. I wasn’t diagnosed until last year though.

Him being hyper stresses me the fuck out. But I was more of a daydreamer/wanderer type. What his body does is what my mind was doing when I was his age.

Me finding Power Wash Simulator on GamePass a week after starting Adderall

Meanwhile my wife yelling at me to power wash the deck and my only retort is “uhh water ban”.

Oh is that the red hat they are blaming?

Now I do.

I mean, I’ve always felt that way, but never able to put it into words.

Alright guys I’m gonna tell you…I don’t use butter on my grilled cheese.

Nah. I use mayonnaise. A very thin coating, it doesn’t take much – and ultimately it’s easier for butter to be many more calories and taste inferior

Would be better if it was for a one of the April 1 RFCs, like 1149…

RFC791 is the formalization of IPv4 itself. Which goes back to 1981.

Eh, I won’t respond to it till it’s an IM.

Just use Tumbleweed or Fedora…or any other distro with amazing brtfs support.

That alone has saved me from myself more times than I want to mention.

I have a dog, we got as a puppy. He’s a mutt. We named him Gus (after the mouse). His nickname became “Goose”.

Once he grew up, we noticed his white markings on the underside of his neck (the rest of him is brindle) actually looks like the silhouette of a goose.

Would it be better to say I rescued my family from a yellow jacket? Who rescued whom?

A couple years ago I rescued a yellow jacket from my basement. For the next few weeks, every time I went outside, I had one yellow jacket following me around.

Not a bee story…but cute nonetheless.

We aren’t made for this world. It’s too easy to survive for us. We’re bored. It makes sense now.

7 bytes! Look at Mr. Moneybags here!

True.

Right? “Forgetting things” is one thing…but whenever I have a home project I spend more time looking for my hammer multiple times than I do actually working. As an example.

I think you just described every COBOL programmers retirement.

Netbox is a documentation tool. You can plug in Napalm to do some stuff but it mostly exists to catalog the intended state of the network.

It’s a wonderfully powerful tool, and Stretch has done a great job with it…but it’s not an analysis tool, it’s documentation.

Stretch is a pretty cool guy too. He strikes me as the kind of person that really wants to help colleagues “see the light” of the role Python and FOSS can play in network automation and maintenance. I respect that, a lot…finding enjoyment in the way you do things, and wanting to share that with other people.

Disk encryption should absolutely be used, especially on laptops/portable systems.

Otherwise someone steals your laptop and swaps the disk into another system and they’ve got all your stuff. Including that folder that nobody knows about.

I either have Spotify going and grooving, or I’m so focused on work and forget to turn it on.
