Feelsbadman. I want to look at it like a vacation, but it's really just depressing the hell out of me. This morning I applied for food stamps just to make sure we can still eat if it takes a few months to get back in the game. Stressed to the max here with a homestead coupled with a fat monthly mortgage payment and bills on top. They got four years of automation support, Linux expertise, and thousands of lines of code from me, then management reshuffles, and now contractors are obsolete regardless if they needed me in particular.

Sounds like somebody has a case of the Mondays

I want to be a wood elf and discard electricity. Want in one hand, and take a shit in the other. One hand fills up faster. It's not necessarily what I want to do but what I'm good at. Computers have been my jam all of my life. Now, I don't know. I kind of hate them anymore, and it's not the machine's fault.

You should make a business of installing Linux on used laptops and selling them cheap to drug addicts in rehabilitation centers and halfway houses.

Half of that is a joke, but there is a real need for it and you could actually help a lot of people out, and I'm sure you could get a government grant if you worded the project correctly.

Or they can just get a cheap 'smart' phone and have a computer in their pocket. I like big iron, racks of computers with 32 to 128 cores each in them. This last job I had root on 2000+ of those, and it was my code running on all of them for maintenance tasks. It was great if you ignore all of the DEI bullshit they pushed. Computers don't give a shit about DEI. The code just needs to be correct.

You should get a job doing that, then
