Fail fast and fail forward. Don’t be afraid to start, be afraid of looking back having never done anything. Regret is poison.

Learn what the pareto principle is and live by it. Be efficient.

When life gets hard focus on what’s in front of you not on the world, ideology, news, thats all distraction. Learn to stay in the moment, what’s right here, right now, infront of you.

Cherish loved ones. Focus on your health now. Your health can be gone at a moments notice, life is about balance. Every action has a reaction.

Focus on your strengths not your weaknesses. You have infinite weaknesses. Your strengths will be your lynchpin at times.

Always be curious. Don’t lose the will to learn and ask questions. Knowledge is everything.

Always stay moving physically that is biggest key to health diet and exercise and good sleep. Stay doing something productive. Being idle is the devils playground.

Listen to your gut during times of uncertainty. Trust very little of others. Words mean nothing. Actions never lie.

I have monetized all of my hobbies it is something I naturally do. I have been self employed my entire life aside from odd jobs.

Does it kill the passion? Somewhat but not in the way your thinking. That being said it opens a lot of doors to dive deeper into your passion and interest as well if you keep the flame alive. It’s all goal orientated.

What kills the hobbies are the pressure to perform even when your back is against the wall. Like when you have bills to pay and you rely on that money to survive that is what kills the drive for the hobbies. You start to do things for money, rather than pursuing things based on interest. This will taint your drive if you let it. But if you have strong enough passions it won’t kill them outright, more of burn you out on them until you grow in revenue passed the needs of life or give up and go back to a job. Once you make enough to survive fully at your own comfort level. Then that opens you up mentally again for the joy because the pressure is mostly gone and then you can utilize the monetary gains to reinvest in the hobby you love but on a grander scale, it opens your mind to options/dreams.

You shift from what you have to do, to what you can do.

Buy more storage. Cheers. Awesome ratio.

Make certain its low sodium. Very important. Don’t expect this to gain a bunch if weight. But it will retain fluids and actually add bulk which means less calories. This more to keep interest in the foods for them and or fluid retention.

At this point you need to be watching sodium due to kidneys, and looking for slightly higher carb contents but not sugars. Dogs don’t have the same metabolism as humans. High fat surely will add weight but sour the stomach and turn it acidy likely theyll eat grass or vomit of its too bad but their bodies will store carbs quicker as their rapid burn or store calories. Up the carbs. Try pastas with a bit of meat test for types they like, think alfredo with chicken or spaghetti with not long noodles, low salt, a ton of lost weight is likely water weight, Chinese foods, vary the diet and feed them what they want like your foods And I’m serious do human foods so simply make more of your foods your eating and share. Heat things up, make it special in their eyes, feed from your own plate encourage table scrap behaviour to keep excitement. Little less fiberous foods but enough to keep the digestive moving. Add a dog probiotic makes a world of difference do it daily, more is not better, normal doseage and consistency is most key. Fish oil. Exercise keeps the body young and appetite hungry.

Awesome thanks. Let me tinker with it this coming Monday and see how much of a pain it is to get setup. If I have any issues I’ll surely message you back. We are definitely looking to swap out an old recorder box. I’ve got plenty of PC parts so this is a non issue.

Skip Nvidia and go AMD. Trust me. Drivers and other issues. I’ve built many PCs high end to dinosaurs by today’s standards.

How do you record directly do your NAS? I like this idea. I also like frigate but never used any of these. I’m new. So any advices help. I have a dozen cameras but not installed or setup.

I have not used docker but over my time of using Linux in general, reading, and understanding I think I can figure it all out I was just worried I didnt want to jump in over my head then pay say 10 a month or something for a local service. I love FOSS and do what I can but there’s a win/ lose if the time gets too demanding. I think I’ll check it out. What would you say you spent total time I have about a dozen cameras or more myself. Like start to finish time frame to setup? Where do you store data PC hard drives? HDDs?

How hard is it to really set up frigate? Having never done much, aside from router tweaks and basic networking. My self hosts have been through tailscale. But finding a good DVR is tough without cloud service BS.

As someone with half that list of health issues. I struggle everyday. Most people even family do not care they can leave, go eat, live life. I cannot. Nobody cares until it’s them. They will never understand, have the compassion, empathy, respect to even try to help you, not even to clean up after themselves for things that make you sick, (gluten issues and they leaves pizza crumbs and greasy pans all over counters and stove). Plenty of sorries to help their emotions feel better though. Nothing for you though. Not money to help with medical things. Not care to keep themselves in order. People do the bare minimum and the world is fine with it.

I don’t want to live like that, not as a parent, myself, or my family members. Shits hard. I don’t want to die or be dead so I’m not looking to OFF myself but fuck its hard to get through each day. It takes a solid, hard headed, self disciplined, never give up attitude to live like this. Yet you still fail to thrive and have any chance of health.

At one point it was breaking my Mint install having to learn how to fstab and do all sorts of commands to get my data back. Took me something like 11 days and it wasn’t just UUID errors I somehow borked it so bad there was multiple files wrong. I’ve now learned a ton. I’ve done it atleast 6 times more and can fly through fuck ups in minutes. I nearly gave up. Encryption isn’t always the easiest to play with either.

Edit. After reading the other comments you were serious about eating/chewing no hard problems one had solved. AKA accomplished.

Probably the inside of a tootsie pop that was so hard and chewy it nearly dislodged my tooth. Pulled out a filling. I bit down on it and couldn’t get my teeth separated in the back it was like glue. Fucking good though. I eventually won.

Over a decade of selling on EBay big time and about every other major platform or my own shopify stores. EBay is nice, its streamline to sell on. The caveat to it is, expect to lose 30 percent of your items value or close to it. They calculate their fee after they’ve added shipping and tax and processing card fee. So your 300/330 dollar item, total shipping and all say comes out to 371, then they subtract their percentage which is category based rate. I cleared 283. That was a GPU I sold with real numbers.

If you can swallow eating that type of margin loss because your cost of goods is low or your margin is super high then go for it, or you are a super savvy shipper. Just check the selling fees and know your strategy and master it. EBay is easy to sell on, compared to amazon, Etsy, insert your platform*

I am an 80 percentile top rated seller in my category overall. I also dominate my niche as THE seller of nearly all of my single product. That being said I’ve sold ww2 items to stuffed animals and anything you can think of. I used to buy whole estate sales and barns out right. Auctions, and about every major platform I’ve been on. I’ve sold international to national. You’d be hard pressed to think of random items I haven’t sold. I know big multi million dollar sellers who run warehouses. ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. Its late in my timezone so I’m groggy and can’t think. I’ll be fresh tomorrow. I’ll help anyone who needs it.

Ok that makes sense I was just worried the usual open trackers were a bad idea for some reason.

What’s wrong with using the default qbit trackers and search plugins from the major sites?

More powerful = more mental burden and capacity used to know how to run and manage its unique syntax and structure.

Sincerely NIX user daily. Switching away from nix and off to fedora kinoite.

This is worth it. Had this happen on OS backup. Lost my data. Notifs should be default.

Godspeed. Me too.
