I agree with you, except your use of “his.” OP only used the term partner.

I did. iirc they couldn’t download media to watch during a trip or remotely stream. It was also cumbersome to make full external accounts.

Install jellyfin.

/annoyed I paid for a lifetime membership and still couldn’t invite household members without paying for their licenses too, with plex. I kinda got it working local only but it was still crappy compared to jellyfin, where accounts work exactly as I expect them to, for a server I maintain fully.

If people would vote for good that’d be a choice. Consistently voting for “less evil” works towards that goal - having good candidates.

If “more evil” candidates keep winning, what message does that send to candidates?

I agree with all of the above, except I’d add encryption to the data.

That way you are not putting your life in their hands, at least until it doesn’t matter / you want the data released. Encryption keys are super lightweight vs data; taken to an unreasonable extreme, a KB could unlock TBs.

Though you’d probably want something more like a passphrase. Anyway, that basic idea is sound but I dunno about the exact delivery/delay mechanism. Gun to my head and I have seconds to decide… scheduled send from a major cloud email provider, pay way in advance, and an increasing flood of calendar events/reminders up to the day it sends. The message would include enough information about the encryption used and formats within that any tier 1 helpdesk level IT person could access the data.

Not perfect, but a good enough balance of simple and robust to start with.

Google seems to have set their nest protect units to need six lithium AA non-rechargeable cells. Which is 1.8v, not 1.5v. You put in completely fresh batteries verified with a multimeter at above 1.5v (1.58v iirc) and they’ll complain about it.

I bought lithium rechargeable and they’re 1.5v. Which seems reasonable. I wish all of ‘em would be one standard.

Feels instead like we have AA-, AA, and AA+.

Thank you for trying to make a difference.

Doesn’t always end up the way you want. We can’t let the occasional defeat stop us from trying.

BusyCal as a macOS client and baikal as a server.

Those two are reliable as can be. BusyCal is a great app with a responsive developer and can connect to virtually anything.

As to the topic of this post, despite the above, I’m trying to move away from CalDAV and CardDAV, the latter has poor support on most mobile platforms in the way I want to use it. I also am trying to reduce self hosted platforms I maintain, which is currently a high number.

I dunno if all ADHD is exactly like yours, but I doubt it. Your version sounds pretty hellish, to put it lightly.

Good info though, thanks for deeming us worthy of your time (not sarcastically) and sharing your experience. Pretty eye opening for us neurotypicals.

You vastly overestimate the competence of the workforce in general. If you show up on time, work hard, and work to improve over time (don’t expect to be perfect! Just learn from mistakes!) you will be a coveted employee.

Hopefully this leads to improved feelings of self worth.

Reminds me of the YouTuber Mat Armstrong w/motto “Hard work beats talent.”

As others have said, pick a trade. Make bank. Get some friends who value you for you. F everyone else. Not literally lol

Fascinating! Thanks for posting this.

Dream list: make it so I can press a button to inhibit hunger for 20-60m. Would be handy for when I know I’ll be eating soon but am annoyingly hungry anyway.
