CMV: Counseling exists because you're right - nobody really likes you or cares about you enough to listen
Basically subject. Counselors are there to be paid to listen to all the embarrassing/relationship damaging thoughts and feelings that your “real” friends ought to bear, but didn’t want to.

FTTH upgrade - getting my LAN multi gig ready
It was recently announced that FTTH will soon (finally) be available in my market. The provider coming to town offers rates up to 8g. I’m upgrading from DSL at <100mbps - really exciting! However I will then face a bit of an issue. I self host many services over my DSL, and use custom firmware on my router. My DSL modem is in a transparent bridging mode. I like the flexibility and customizability this setup provides. The new service includes a WiFi 7 router, but that means I’ll also potentially be subject to all the weird things providers like to do, like adding backdoors, opening shared WiFi networks, force deploying different firmware, etc. Plus I won’t be running any kind of service on the router itself, which I do have today (transparent proxy etc). The router I have today is not going to enable me to touch the peak bandwidth available. What’re the best options to upgrade LAN components so that I can support multi gig internal networking speeds, ensure my self hosted services all function normally, and I take advantage of the bandwidth the ISP upgrade offers? In your personal opinion, is it worth it to invest in upgraded lan components? Anyone have experience converting from 1G LAN to 2.5 or even 10? Do I really need 8G FTTH, of course not, but if I ever wanted to get the max out of it, what does that take?
Arbeit macht frei, oder nicht?
If one finds themselves in a situation at home, where their attitude aligns with the statement “Arbeit macht frei” that person should recognize that the arches over the gates to death carried the same message. Dad, you do not need to sacrifice your future for a rewarding life for your children. I myself recently discovered that the truth is, sacrificing what makes you whole, leaves you with missing pieces. Your children want you to be a beacon, a guide to find their own true North. If you are putting in the work, that’s admirable. If the toll is your identity, check your altruism. What example does the hollow man provide?
Ticketmaster breach, beaches in general
So I got a notice from Ticketmaster that my identity was accessed by an intruder and my name, contact info and /encrypted/ payment info was compromised. These notices are more and more common. Why aren’t companies accountable for damages when they fail to protect all the myriad data they collect on people without consent? I never asked them to store these things…
