    BusyCal as a macOS client and baikal as a server.

    Those two are reliable as can be. BusyCal is a great app with a responsive developer and can connect to virtually anything.

    As to the topic of this post, despite the above, I’m trying to move away from CalDAV and CardDAV, the latter has poor support on most mobile platforms in the way I want to use it. I also am trying to reduce self hosted platforms I maintain, which is currently a high number.

    I dunno if all ADHD is exactly like yours, but I doubt it. Your version sounds pretty hellish, to put it lightly.

    Good info though, thanks for deeming us worthy of your time (not sarcastically) and sharing your experience. Pretty eye opening for us neurotypicals.

    You vastly overestimate the competence of the workforce in general. If you show up on time, work hard, and work to improve over time (don’t expect to be perfect! Just learn from mistakes!) you will be a coveted employee.

    Hopefully this leads to improved feelings of self worth.

    Reminds me of the YouTuber Mat Armstrong w/motto “Hard work beats talent.”

    As others have said, pick a trade. Make bank. Get some friends who value you for you. F everyone else. Not literally lol

    To start one without ties to your name is more difficult, at least in my state. You’d have to have a registered agent you trust and to file articles of incorporation. Plus get an EIN.

    Even with an EIN, so as far as the federal government is concerned single member LLCs are basically sole proprietorships for tax purposes.

    Unsure about the effect of recent ownership laws; almost certainly bad for privacy at some level.

    Regardless of all that, financial institutions won’t grant credit to entities that don’t have their own income. Normally a history of income, and income not tied to a single member LLC. Been there done that. Yes my LLC has credit cards but at their core they are tied to the financial backing that my personal credit history provided.

    It is possible you could jump through all those hoops and still gain a measure of privacy. There are vastly easier ways, imho.



  • Yes! I hate this!! There seems to be an industry wide practice of never carrying any product consistently.

    I understand that if something had to be put on clearance even in-season that they’re not going to buy more of it. But surely bringing back best sellers would be profitable?

    Or even providing some mechanism for ordering previously-stocked items online? I don’t need to try it on and will order many units/variations because I already know I love it. Seems like an easy way to make money. Low to no returns too.


  • lol sorry about that. Polyester definitely doesn’t have that effect on me and unlike cotton, 100% polyester is pretty much unaffected by wash + dry cycles.

    Cotton wears out stupidly quick in comparison.

    So when buying off I’m interested i don’t even check sizes, I go straight for material. If it’s less than 70% polyester I won’t even consider buying it.

    The apology is because stores do seem to be shifting towards folks like me. I love it.


  • Didn’t really state a position other than ownership, which does have some implications. I am fine with smart TVs but not ok with data collection and ads.

    Either would only be ok if I had opted in, especially be paying a lower price with that tradeoff, but I and everyone else are paying full price, so I am adamantly opposed to it.

    You took it a step further than me, and I applaud your efforts. I hope they are noted by the manufacturers.







  • Airvpn, then use their advanced config to create a 443 tcp tunnel out to a single server. Then use that server’s IP in your OpenVPN config file. Route all traffic including dns inside the tunnel.

    Traffic will look like all other web traffic - encrypted on standard web ports. You won’t even need to do a DNS lookup to start with and airvpn uses generic rDNS so it’s not super easy to figure out from their perspective.

    U crazy! lxc is incredibly lightweight compared to a vm, I’m often amazed at what it can do with just a few hundred MB of memory.

    Also you can map storage straight from the host and increase allocation instantly, if needed. Snapshotting and replication are faster too.

    I’m always bummed when I’m forced to run a VM, they seem archaic vs PVE CTs. Obviously there are still things VMs are required for, though.
