  • I’m struggling with this now. In my 20’s I worked all the low-wage crap jobs but I was physically moving a lot.

    Now I get paid a lot more to sit on a computer all day at home, and I still love computer programming, web development, building networks, etc.

    The problem is I miss it being a hobby. I’m kind of burned out on our work project and sometimes I daydream about going back to work in fast food. Believe it or not I loved working in the kitchen at McDonald’s during lunch rush — it sounds fucking cheesy but my store manager and I used to race to see who could make orders faster without making mistakes.

    Going back is just not doable now with the cost of living now.

    Edit: I realize writing this makes it sound like I’m calling garbage truck driver a shitty job; my intention originally was to say that I miss physically working (and to an extent being in the world) but I veered off in my late night state
















  • I’m thinking about the RS6 a lot but really want to put Alpine Linux on it if I can manage it. My reasoning is I already know how to set up a router from scratch on the command line.

    OpenWRT is probably easier but I’ve had bad experiences with its UI (and the distro as a whole) in the past, but the version of it on my GL.inet travel router is pretty rock solid though the UI still annoys me and I’d rather do most configuration via SSH.

    Does OpenWRT support multiple WireGuard interfaces and VLANs? This is kind of what I’m wanting.

    pfSense (I know, it’s UNIX) looked good on paper too but after playing with it on a VPS the UI just seemed overly complex. I don’t want to learn the ins and outs of some weird UI.
