I work in a place where they had specific arrangements for that.

It was something like after 5 years of employment there you could take a year off and come back to the same position you left.

No, Trump does not want NASA to get to the Moon or Mars.

Trump wants NASA to be a tool that funnel money from the government to billionaires, aka Musk and Bezos

As a comparison too SpaceX can launch Starship at least 6 more times before reaching the cost of a single Saturn V launch, I an not even talking about development cost.

Starship also did reach orbital velocity on several launches.

The goals are different.

I think Nixos and a nas would for your need.

This is what I’m doing, I have two laptop, one for work at my office and one at home for work/hobbies.

I have a nixos config synced on github with all my of is configuration, package list extensions …Some of the config is specific to each laptop like the part related to the hardware and steam, games stuff only on my home computer. The rest is the config is shared and all my files synced on my NAS.

So whenever I change something on one the change is reflected in the other. I really enjoy this setup and I’m thinking of adding my server in it too.

Even for very long distances (where flying is almost mandatory unless you are ready to spend weeks traveling) trains make things easier.

For example I’m living in a small village in the south east of France and I will be traveling to the carribean in summer for family, I will be walking to the train station is my village to take the train, 2 changes later I will be in London from where I’ll take the plane to cross the Atlantic.

Same thing on the way back but with a night train.

I followed the documentation on their website to install it on a vps

Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

Grey’s law

This one hurt a bit too close to home.

In high school and college I did believe that in my lifetime humanity would really start space exploration and colonization.

I studied engineering and did everything I could to contribute to this great advancement of humanity. I got a double master degree in aerospace manufacturing, specialized in the machining of exotic alloys used in aerospace, worked on rocket engines, developed new machining techniques that unlocked new possibilities for aircraft engines performances and was working my way up to be one of the few people in Europe highly specialized on machining technique for these alloys used in aerospace.

Then in 2016 I read more and more about “Collapse”, more specifically the collapse of our thermo industrial civilization. We are not going to colonize space, we will be lucky if most of humanity does not die in the coming century.

So rather than contributing to the future of humanity with my work I was contributing to worsen the condition of life on earth by accelerating climate change and the uses of resources.

I had a bit of an existential crisis at this point.

What do you use that is better than windows remote desktop ?

I think it’s more that the doctor was struggling to insert it, so he offer the local anesthetic only to make his job easier.

It was defined as

one ten-millionth of the shortest distance from the North Pole to the equator passing through Paris.

The stick of metal in Paris is just so people don’t have to do measure the distance between the north pole and the equator each time they want to check their measuring tool.

I like St Lucia’s flag, quite unique but stays simple enough. 🇱🇨

It’s not just for my home server but for EOL or other issues I used bitwarden emergency access options for passwords. Of anything happens to me my wife can request access to my vault and if I don’t deny it in a certain timeframe she will have full access to it.

I did that after my brother in law got in an accident and fell into a coma. I’m very grateful he had all his password saved in chrome on his unlocked laptop because if not it would have made the period insanely more difficult for my sister.

Simple things like paying the bills would I been insanely more difficult and stressful and you don’t need extra stress in this period.

For people who want to try it there is a free instance managed by the team there : https://cryptpad.fr/

I was in the same boat two years ago.

What I did is that I’ve setup a VM with NixOS in it to play with, learn the language and tweak the configuration file.

The great thing about NixOS is that once I was feeling confident enough to switch I installed NixOS on bare metal, loaded the configuration file I prepared in the VM and I instantly had everything installed and running. (Except for the NVidia drivers, fuck nvidia)

Since then I’ve stayed in nixos and I’m not looking back.

My wife is on my left, it’s going to be interesting

I used it a few times for work even. At the time I had a usb-c hub connected with a screen, Ethernet, 65w charger, a keyboard and mouse and I had my laptop that I was carrying with me.

Once or twice I arrived at work and realized I forgot my computer at home … And I have a 2hour drive … So I connected my phone to the hub and work on it. It worked well to send email, use an internet browser, a bit of document editing and mostly connecting to remote desktops.
