    Yeah, obviously there are worse jobs and steamers who love what they do, but I can’t think of a better way to ruin any enjoyment I had for gaming.

    Mad respect for the ones who are on for 10 hours every day of the week for years straight, and somehow still manage to be healthy and have a family. I couldn’t do it.






  • I’m running a Linux server, a Linux desktop, and a VPS host. While I’m far from an expert, I’d like to think I’m in a better position than most people when it comes to this type of solution.

    Even then, it just isn’t scalable. First off, I want to just use my remote and have things work. I need it to work not just for me, but for family across several devices. At the end of the day, the $15 a month is probably cheaper than I’d pay just for the electricity of another server, much less the time and effort spent administrating it.

    If someone with a lot more knowledge than me could build an ansible deployment that packaged a streaming tool compatible with plug-in casting devices, I’d be on that in a heartbeat.







  • One time, while on dispatch for a client, I was stuck on the phone with their ISP. Behind me were all of the company interns, arguing about peanut butter.

    It’s always stuck with me for two reasons. 1: One guy was arguing that crunchy peanut butter was like regular peanut butter, but with added wasps. 2: I regret every day that I did not ask the Comcast guy to weigh in over the phone.
