OP said they wanted some stuff outside their home LAN which is very understandable for certain things, service checks which they mentioned specifically.

I’ve been using massivegrid. I think I currently pay about $20 a year with a pretty decent about of network. Works for me so far.

So it’s steak-umms?

Huh… oh.

There are much better than me in their fields of interest. But they are at the age that they think their parents are idiots (two are in their early 20s… the other two are older and starting to understand).

Here’s an example: The youngest tried to “explain” how some technology works and I had to go all Aslan on him … “Do not cite the Deep Magic to me, Witch. I was there when it was written”. I’ve been working with computers and tech since the late 70s/ early 80s… I’m not that old just got started at a very early age and was good at it. He’s an environmental scientist so he’s no dummy. He’s just doesn’t quite grasp how much I know about certain things. Folly of youth I guess.

But yes they are better at many things, just not all. And yes I let them know frequently.

This is kinda hurting my head because I’m torn.

I’d want to know if I were the dad. I’ve been in IT for almost 30 years and I make mistakes and learn stuff all the time. It was very likely a brain fart moment.

The tricky part in my opinion is it coming from my kid. My kids are know-it-all assholes 😀 Luckily none of them are in IT.

If I were you I’d let it slide unless it happens again. I’d probably recheck his work a time or two just to verify it was a fluke. But old people retire for a reason. I’m old so I can say that.

This was my second thought. Some very complicated “sliding doors movie” Rube Goldberg situation…

But your story is like super specific. Are you really a murderous ant?

Ok this made me chuckle. I read it in Chris Pratt’s voice for some reason.

Yeah my first thought was do allergies count.

No because the neural systems for those defenses are still too immature. The have a startle reflex called the Moro reflex but it isn’t quite the same thing.

Gravity therapy is also effective

I got hair in my butt

I get higher in Milwaukee

I’m pooping in the dark in the morning

On a stale horse I ride …

Well yeah why not. The holiday was a pagan holiday long before the Jesus thing anyway. Besides the idea of gathering with your family to share meals and exchanging gifts because you love and care for them is not strictly a Christian thing.

This sounds really interesting actually.

I was kinda thinking the same thing

TFR is Total Fertility Rate. Total fertility rate is the average number of children a woman would have over her lifetime if she experienced current age-specific fertility rates throughout her reproductive years.

I had to look it up.

Did not realize these were the same thing and the have my own forgejo install.

I read a short story back in college about a woman who helped people remember their past lives. Somehow she gets transported to a universe where reincarnation is completely real and everyone remembers all their previous past lives. Suicide was rampant and the world generally sucked. She somehow transitions to helping people forget their past lives to make the world a better place. I really wish I could remember the title of the story.
