I'm rereading Malazan Book of the Fallen this year, but adding in some of the Bauchelain & Broach short stories and maybe a few Esslemont books too. This'll be the third go round for the first 5 books and the second reread for the last 5. It's amazing how many tiny details are planted in the first books that pay off by the end of the series. The references, foreshadowing, and thematic follow throughs are insane and I pick up more each time.
I'm in House of Chains right now.
Aaron Pierre was great in Rebel Ridge. The trailer looks like a straight up Netflix dad movie, but it was actually really good. It was directed by Jeremy Saulnier who did Blue Ruin and The Green Room.
The bad guy from S1 of True Detective maybe?
Bosses when the IT dept is furiously responding to an outage: What do we pay you for?
Bosses when everything is running smoothly: What do we pay you for?
Being Madison, it could go either way. The Capitol is very lefty, but there's hillbilly farmland 20 minutes outside town.
Smoking everywhere. For anyone who wasn't around for the 70s/80s/90s, everything was tinged yellow and smelled of smoke. Car/plane/train seats had built-in ashtrays. Restaurants had smoking sections separated from the non-smoking sections by waist-high walls.
I have asthma and it sucked. Not sure if I grew out of it as I got older or if there's just not a miasma of smoke around everywhere, but it rarely bothers me anymore.
I was in my mid 30s when I found out that you could hold some button when continuing after game over in Super Mario Bros to continue in the world you died.
We just got gud and abused the turtle shell stair 1up.
I'm a few years out of date on most hardware, but I can recommend the Fractal Define cases. They also make RGB monstrosities, but the Define line are sturdy, quiet, and come in solid metal side styles. I've had the original XL for probably 15 years now and it's still going strong. XL is probably overkill, but at the time I had a bunch of old platter drives I was still using
The Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold is like Horatio Hornblower in space. The main character has dwarfism and accidentally commandeers a mercenary fleet as a teenager.
I did check that, but thank you. The failure was accompanied by a bunch of magic smoke so something's good and dead.
I dunno if I'm comfortable enough to jump to Proxmox yet, I'm still learning containers. I did read up on both Proxmox and CoreOS before landing on Ubuntu Server for the NUC. I may move to something more complex eventually, but I wanted something I was already relatively familiar with that I could set and forget.
Mulva?
