I mean, screw Bell and other mega corp, sharing is caring… but those dudes are linked to the Hell’s Angels so it begs the question “is their service funding the local mafia?”

My moral compass is confused here

After completely tearing my back muscles apart back in march, and being in sweet sweet pain for months. I decided to go back to school and embrace my nerd side.

I started college at 35 and also got accepted in university. I fucking love school (never would have said that at a younger age) and learning about computer networking and cybersecurity!

I also found love with a mother of 2 kids and it’s been really great, she likes my nerd side and let me do my things :)

Getting bad injuries can really fuck someone up, and feeling depressed from it all is a legitimate reaction. Seeking help from a social worker (because the wait list for a therapist is insane) was a lifesaver. Talking to someone who is NOT a friend was so refreshing.

About the NanoPi Neo3

This little thing gets pretty hot with the official case. I had to cut a hole in it to hot glue a tiny fan, powered by the GPIO.

I can’t remember the temp. difference right now (it’s unplugged) but it was significant.

VGS: Shazbot!

Not exactly young adult but I’m 35 and see friends almost weekly. If not in person I at least chat/voice chat with some of them.

I don’t have kids, currently dating someone with 2 boys though. I don’t take any overtime at work but I have online classes at night so I plan on dropping my hours by half. Also, I don’t bring any work home with me. I separate the 2, religiously. (I am unionized, makes it easier to do so)

I live in a small city, far from any metropolitan area, people are so much more friendlier here.

IMO, it’s all about hobbies. My hobbies align with most of my friends and I have more than one circle of friends.

I moved over 20 times in my life, different cities and all. So I know how to make new friends, I honestly think it’s a skill. At the same time, friendship goes both ways, if you’re the only one putting the work on the friendship, it’s not really gonna work.

I have friends working on their PhDs and even post-PhDs (or whatever it’s called) and they usually have time to see me / friends 3 or 4 times a month.

So yeah, I have a fulfilling social life, it’s not like that all year round mind you, things change and people need breaks and what not sometimes.

Thanks for the info, really appreciated!

Could you tell us exactly which simple USB HDMI capture device you found that works well in Linux?

I’ve been looking for one myself.
