Someone identifying with Homelander would. That's the real meme here.

I remember Watchtower helpfully stopping Pihole before pulling the new image when I only had the one instance running... All while I was out at work with the fiancée on her day off. So many teaching moments in so little time.

Home server: Proxmox (Debian). Redundant DNS: Raspbian (Debian). Parent's server: Debian (Debian).

Gonna be honest, I mostly live off my phone and a retroid pocket.

Linux does what Windont?

How many desert island discs do I get? I'll do three lesser known ones

Make it all show - Skating Polly. I love the vocal styles, not sure I'd reccommend the band (I do have tickets this year though)

Masters of reality - Masters of reality. Not so much a band as a producer pulling talent and doing odd projects. Not a track on this I don't sing along to though... especially the instrumentals.

Rakshak - Bloodywood. Sometimes I need flute solos in my life, sometimes I need someone to aggressively tell me that shit is going to be ok.

3 more known ones.

Dummy - Portishead. Original pirate material - The streets. New levels new devils - Polyphia

Exercise and nutrition. I easily fall into a pattern of self neglect. Having a program I can be accountable to, telling me what physio I should do, what to cook and when would be invaluable.

As a beginner in self hosting I like plugging the random commands I find online into a llm. I ask it what the command does, what I'm trying to achieve and if it would work..

It acts like a mentor, I don't trust what it says entirely so I'm constantly sanity checking it, but it gets me to where I want to go with some back and forth. I'm doing some of the problem solving, so there's that exercise, it also teaches me what commands do and how the flags alter it. It's also there to stop me making really stupid mistakes that I would have learned the hard way without.

Last project was adding a HDD to my zpool as a mirror. I found the "attach" command online with a bunch of flags. I made what I thought was my solution and asked chatgpt. It corrected some stuff: I didn't include the name of my zpool. Then gave me a procedure to do it properly.

In that procedure I noticed an inconsistency in how I was naming drives vs how my zpool was naming drives. Asked chat gpt again, I was told I was a dumbass, if thats the naming convention I should probably use that one instead of mine (I was using /dev/sbc and the zpool was using /dev/disk/by-id/). It told me why the zpool might have been configured that way so that was a teaching moment, I'm using usb drives and the zpool wants to protect itself if the setup gets switched around. I clarified the names and rewrote the command, not really chatgpt was constantly updating the command as we went... Boom I have mirrored my drives, I've made all my stupid mistakes in private and away from production, life is good.

I get that. My mum rides a helmet that she attaches ears/mohawks to, like these. My SIL covers her helmet in one of these things. Or, find a graphic you like. There's options to make a boring helmet what you want.

Currently, I draw as little police's attention to myself, I have the stock quiet pipe, the stock tail and plate, I wear hi-vis, I look as boring as possible so I can ride less boringly. Part of that is havjng a plain white helmet, doesn't hurt that no graphics are cheaper.

In general I look any helmet I intend to buy on

Then make a decision on acceptable risk. For me: pillions are only allowed in 5* helmets. My daily, a Shoei NXR, is 4* but light af. Helmets are for when things go wrong, even though they're worn every ride, I want them for the crash.

Specific to that helmet, they don't have a sharp rating so that's an immediate no for me, that aside I'd worry about what those ears do in a crash also a no. I wear a cardo which can react negatively in a crash but it provides some utility as compensation. It's your head, your risk, your decision.

Here's hoping, I find it fun even when it's scary. Bombing too hot into corners or cars merging into where you are intense situations.

I do hope you get the book, I wish it came with exercises but it's intention is to be used along side the practical police instruction. Learning to E brake without ABS, trail break through corners, etc are useful skills not just to go fast, but to stay alive when things don't go as planned. But, helping make accurate plans are what the book excels at.
