Doctor asked what I thought about taking anti-anxiety meds, and now I have anxiety thinking about what my life would be like without anxiety. You can't take this away from me. This is a load-bearing anxiety.

Cybersecurity person. I'm bad at my job and am hoping I can learn enough through osmosis by shitposting here that I one day become mediocre.
Man NOFX’s War on Errorism is really coming back around to being a relevant album again. Wild.
I'm biting my tongue so hard, I'm about to draw blood.
The Peter Principle is in full effect here.
Friend of mine who works at an MSP casually floated me a potential job offer because of my "jack of all trades" background. And I gotta say, the idea of working with with a new tech field (networking, storage, sysadmin, cybersecurity, etc) every couple weeks or months does sound very appealing to my ADHD, and I'm excited at the idea to work like that.
In addition to that I've become increasingly disenfranchised with cybersecurity and what the position actually is vs what I thought it was. I haven't touched a terminal in a long time and I miss it dearly.
It is definitely something to consider because on the one hand this position has a lot of soft benefits that are good for my family, and I'm not sure I still have the technical chops to perform at that level anymore, but OTOH I would love to get back to doing technical work again.
So I've had this problem for years where I'm constantly losing USB drives. I can never find one when I need it and then I just buy a cheapo replacement drive off of amazon (which I then lose). But like companies still give out USB drives for free at like conferences and stuff, so those bulk drives have to come from somewhere. One casual glance at AliExpress and I have my solution; a lot of 50 64GB USB3.0 drives for $150CDN and they’ll laser engrave a custom logo in it for free.
So I guess my only question is; what is the stupidest thing I can get laser engraved into a USB drive? Hit me with your best shot fediverse. Printing area is 3.9cm x 1.2cm
I just want people to do their fucking jobs and stop arguing with me all the time.
Bought a cheap Spigen TB4 dock off of amazon to use with my framework 13. For an online training course I'm taking:
* Didn't work under Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
* Didn't work under Windows 10
* Didn't work under Debian 12
* Finally got it to work under stupid Windows stupid 11.
Thank god I only need the dock this week (and then I'm giving it to my mum) because if I had to run this trash OS permanently I would choose to simply not have a docking station at all.
I keep running into these problems where I have to learn _just enough_ of a language to get some task done, complete it, think to myself "that was a lot of fun. I should properly sit down and learn this language", never touch that thing again, forget everything I had learned, and then be confronted with a similar problem that means I have to re-learn it all again.
So far I have done this with:
* Python
* Chef
* Ansible
* Ruby
* Terraform
The downside of being a jack of all trades. Your knowledge is a mile wide but an inch deep.
If vertical farming is so much more efficient and can be done indoors in the middle of cities then why don't we see it more often? I feel like I never hear about it ever being used in the real world at any sort of scale. Is it too expensive? Or does it not work beyond a certain size or for certain crops?
