Never have my thoughts been written down so accurately as right now 🤝. I can understand many other fetishes. Feet I just really struggle to comprehend. Not that that matters, more power to the foot fetishers etc.

The Netherlands.

Had gall stones fucking with me. Had 3 attacks happen in the middle of the night over a 8 month period which resulted in me showing up to the ER due to sweating bullets of pain. They got worried one day due to high infection counters in the blood, but it actually was fine by the time they checked again.

With gall stones, you need to have "enough attacks" before they refer they let you rip the fucker out. So eventually I got referred. 4 week waiting time from consult to operation (just coming out of corona time late 2021, not sure if that matters). Had a secondary infection around my navel which resulted in 6 weeks of manual flushing the wound and had to reopen it due to external skin healing too quick.

All of this cost €385, which was my "own risk" which resets every calendar year. All vists (even middle of the night), surgery, post care (even infection stuff) included. I never once thought about the cost, and the bill comes 6-9 months later.

(Note, you do pay for medical insurance here, however it is required by law to have it. People get fines if they dont have it. Subsidies/free for low incomes. Its essentially tax at the end etc. All "base insurance" from all providers must cover 100% GP costs, and a bunch of other things).

So much this.

After working in tech companies for the last 10 years I've noticed the difference between people that "generate code" and those that engineer code.

My worry about the industry is that vibe coding gives the code generators the ability to generate even more code. The engineers (even those that use vibe tools) are not engineering as much code by volume compared to "the generators".

My hope is that this is one of those "short term gain, long term pain" things that might self correct in a couple of years 🤞.

Just a smol bramble.

• 2x RPI 5
• 1x RPI 4
• all is PoE. One head node which has a USB ssd. No SD cards.
• DH2300, with 2x2TB drives in Raid 1.

All is network booted from the head node. Had to mess around with iscsi mounted root because i'm running k3s, and it needs block devices.

Totally agree. I saw some people doing just plain text messaging and it looked fairly snappy. I assume we're miles away from the idea of pushing pixels on LoRa for a while.

Fair, however the meshcore gateway drug starter kit is like 40eur 😅.

I'm vegetarian, I know a bunch of vegans. I don't know if I've ever felt ostracised by any of the vegans I've had a conversation with. I've also got many meat eating friends. We share perspectives with each other and can converse about things like adults (I don't want to eat anything that has a face). I honesly have no idea where the crazy vegans are apart from the news 🤷‍♂️

This person arrives at 10, has a 1.5hour lunch, talks loudly around other people, leaves at 2 because needs to pick up the dog from the dog sitter, complains people are never in the office, only shows up 2 days a week if you're unlucky, 0 days if you're lucky.

Piling on another comment to say that lurking here feels much nicer than on reddit. The comments are actually worth reading a lot of the time. RiF going down was a dark day, but Jerboa and Lemmy make everything light.
