Huh suddenly I actually have a interest in PAX AUS this year beyond board games!

We are really enjoying TMNT 1987 with our little one!/

Thanks for the reminder, I wanted to give them a go this season and wasn’t quite sure when to jump in. I planted Jalapenos last summer that have actually survived winter somewhat, but had almost zero heat. Planning to get something a bit hotter this season

I now do 30-45 strength training at home 3 times a week, and 2 short 15m sessions of HIIT. I spread it throughout the day as an addition to my lifestyle (between meetings, when showering the kiddo, etc) with a tiny investment in equipment and no real impact on leisure time.

It’s part of a change to deal with a very unexpected type 2 diabetes diagnosis and it’s had an outsized impact on my health for the effort.

Coupled with weight loss - Blood pressure, cholesterol, heart rate and blood sugar have all dropped significantly within 3 months. Would recommend, exercise for health doesn’t mean grueling classes, stupid long workouts, or 20 hours of cardio a week. Downside, an utterly ridiculous amount of misinformation online.

Haha yeah could have worded better. I was running a 3 node k8s cluster on Talos Linux as my homelab. Downsized/simplified to a single NAS (aka NixNAS) + NUC on nixos and split the services between them. Apps that heavily use the NAS live on it for direct file access, the rest hum along on the nuc. I sleep easier with this, rather than fighting nose breakage during upgrades or wondering when my next ceph failure will occur.

Most definietly, I have my entire homelab setup in nix as well as laptop/desktop. Is a hell of a lot easier and more reliable than the Kubernetes setup it replaced…

I can read and write using the Standard Galactic Alphabet from the Commander Keen series

Share the memes please, I’m still not done laughing!

Yeah, I’m about to donate plasma so I am fully locked and hydrated. Also, I had a kidney stone last year and I never want to experience that again. I now drink 2-3L of water a day without really thinking about it, it’s habit now

Over 1000h hrs here, mostly with a mate Friday nights with modded worlds. We are ready for this

This is an excellent choice

My current distro is NixOS - mainly as I’ve built my NAS/homelab. Definitely not recommended for a new player to Linux!
