My plan is either soon the lotto or die before retirement. Now, I've been in a corporate job for nearly 2 decades, putting money in a 401k and Roth IRA. But given the rate that the value of the dollar is just tanking and the cost of everything is skyrocketing, I honestly figure everything I saved will be worthless. I've had my AC off for months at this point, turned it off towards the end of winter early spring. The electric company is telling me that I'm at best on par with some of my neighbors with other neighbors using less than half. Insurance for the car is going up. I love when I ask about why are my rates so high, they blame other drivers and somehow that's my problem. In 2017 my bill was $335. 7 years later it's up to $634. Same vehicle, no accidents. $100 for groceries does not go very far anymore. I'm pretty sure there was a picture on Lemmy just the other day showing someone with a receipt buying the same stuff and it was like three times more now than it was just a few years ago.
Use one of those inflation calculators and between 2010 and 2024 we're at 44%.
I still have more than two decades to go before my supposed retirement date. And I have no faith in our economy.
You probably meant motorcycle helmets My mind immediately went to Avengers Endgame. Everyone removing their helmet everytime they had anything to say... Was an awful direction
When you attack Stonehenge I'm not listening to what your ideology is. Because all I see is you being a jackass. Attacking works of arts or in this case Stonehenge to me looks like a child in a restaurant yelling and screaming that they want a cookie. I'm not going to give in to the demands of the child just because they're loud. You'll notice I don't talk about the ideologies, I talk about their actions, so it didn't work.
School might be over, but your education never stops.
When I graduated highschool, we didn't have the resources we have today. You can freely learn a language anytime you want. Find out interesting maths they didn't teach you in school, details about the world you live in you might not know (architecture, history, of just why things are one way in one nation vs another).
There are so many fantastic YouTube channels. Here's a list of channel I've subscribed to that I think are with it. There a few programming ones in there too. And this doesn't even cover the channels that showed me how to repair my AC unit, or how to repair my washing machine.
If this lost is to long, than 3 channels I recommend highest is Tom Scott, SmarterEveryDay, and Steve Mould.
I found Ansible as a product, lacking. Granted maybe some of the issues was because it was AWX? Unsure. But everything about it was like pulling teeth.
I personally prefer Salt, if for no other reason than it's significantly faster. And frankly I found writing the respective configs much easier to ready and follow with Salt.
Completely agree. I haven't met a single person that has genuinely liked it. But they feel compelled to use it and speak highly of it because it's what you do in the industry. And a lot of the people that do keep pushing for it keep acting like it's going to be the single solution that fixes everything somehow magically...
And I don't know about you, but I know an excessive number of people it seem to think that if you want to idempotent then it has to be ansible... As if suggesting that it's impossible to be idempotent by any other means.
