    My cat once brought in a North American shrew in the house and I thought “what a weird looking mouse!” So, I went to scoop it up in a dust pan and drop it out side and the little shit bit my finger! Anyways, got it outside and went to look it up and found out they (the NA shrew) were venomous! Luckily the bite was superficial and I only had slight redness for the night.

    Fun fact about the shrew is apparently it is highly territorial and can defend a territory of > 1 square mile, and somehow my cat found the one shrew in a sq mile area in our backyard which is like a 1/16 acre neighborhood plot lol

    Well, as a pharmacist whose been stable on 50mg of vyvanse for more than 3 years, your wife and Doc are both incorrect…

    Both are stimulants, yes, but

    Vyvanse is an amphetamine and works to produce more neurotransmitters you don’t already have.

    Cocaine is a reuptake inhibitor… thus preventing the breakdown of neurotransmitters you do already have.

    While fundamentally they may look like they’re doing the same thing, they are in fact 2 totally different mechanisms. Furthermore, in neurotransmitter depletion the effects of cocaine will severely diminish, where as amphetamines will thrive.


  • According to the CDC:

    more than 93.1% of abortions were performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation; a smaller number of abortions (5.8%) were performed at 14–20 weeks’ gestation, and even fewer (0.9%) were performed at ≥21 weeks’ gestation.

    1. So, 93.1% aren’t even fetuses yet, they are zygotes (which is a clump of cells)

    2. the other 6.9% are fetuses not babies.

    • A baby is a non-clinical term for an “infant” (def: a very young child under the age of 1 years old) that has bodily autonomy separate from the mother.

    So, to recap, abortion is not killing a baby






  • Christian brings up some great points worthy of consideration; however, if your going to use traditional routing through their network (A/cname) your still doing the same thing. CF will still see your traffic.

    The second thing I should say is, I only use zero trust for websites I share with family. So, I have a Searxng and wef/voyager dockers running through zero trust.

    For admin, homeassistant/iot/ip cams, I use an always on IPSec vpn on my iPhone, iPad, and steam deck (take it to work and plug into 3rd monitor) … this is cool because I get 24/7 ad blocking no matter where I am because it routes all my traffic through my pihole at home. This is a great solution for a single person, but I do not want to manage vpn access for multiple ppl. So, I agree with christian in NOT putting admin stuff/sensitive info behind CF at all (zero trust OR tradition web routing) unless you fully trust them. Otherwise do a 24/7 vpn like I do.



    1. Parents are southern baptist and tithe 10% yearly

    2. Constantly complain about socialism, and taxes

    3. Go on mission trips to Haiti to help build homes

    4. Constantly complain about refugees and immigration

    5. Claims to have lgbt, black, etc minority friends

    6. Sees nothing wrong with current Supreme Court trend taking rights away from said minority groups…

    7/8. Think of any two things that are opposites between real life, what religion should be about, and politics… and it is someway twisted in a way you wouldn’t think would be possible.

    TLDR: there is no way of dealing with this cognitive dissonance. It is maddening. I’ve gotten to the point of trolling my fam with republican Jesus lol. It’s the only thing that makes me at least laugh about the insanity.







  • Currently my UPS is reporting 207 watts, that’s with a unraid server (3600 + 32GB ram + 2060 super for plex, and 6 drives), a mini pc for pf sense, a rpi 4 running pihole and vpn server, a single poe ap, a modem, and security cameras… it can spike to 250w with multiple encodes going on from family … but overall not bad… I did have a dedicated 20A switch installed for just my network closet as well




  • Thankfully with the knowledge from my server, the switch will be more kind than if I’d never touched Linux before.

    For real man, close to a decade ago I started off with a raspberry pi b+ and literally copying and pasting every code I found, and today I feel I can do almost anything I want in Linux. Moving from tinkering with Xbmc and retropies, to setting up openhan and pi-holes, then moving on to dockers, home assistant, and web-servers to building out a server/networking closet and running cat6 through the house lol

    I love that the steam deck has a desktop mode as well. If steamos was out for desktop AND it supported nvidia (which it currently doesn’t), then that would be my new OS and I’d drop windows today.


  • I have and for the most part it’s actually really good and responsive… live video feeds aren’t working like I want (no live video, just an updated scene every 30 seconds), but house alarm, lights, garage door, outlets, door locks all work great and all of it is through home assistant then to HomeKit … none of my devices are “HomeKit” compatible, I use mostly z-wave and have home assistant parse the info and tunnel though home


  • Yea I completely forgot to mention HomeKit in my comment! Is it kind of generic and do I wish it could do more? Yea, but damn is it nice to tell Siri “goodnight” and all the light in the house go out, the doors lock, and the alarm sets! Plus my partner can use it better than home assistant, and if I need my bro to come watch my house for a week, I can give him access on his phone and revoke it any time!
