Hey me too and I fully agree! Nebula is super underrated in this market space. I use Nebula to connect my primary datacenter rack with a bunch of dedicated servers and VMs all together on an overlay network. This makes it easy for me to add Nomad client nodes quickly in different parts of the world and everything just works.
I actually use https://defined.net for a managed Nebula experience and it makes everything super easy to get going and the team is super helpful with the few issues that I have run into. The free tier is super generous with up to 100 hosts for free and you don't need a credit card to get started. I highly recommend checking it out.
I want a laptop with 64 or 128 GiB of Chipkill ECC RAM. Any of this soldered-on, anti-R2R/-consumer Apple trend-copying is BS. This crap about "YAGNI" or "it costs too much" have no idea what they're talking about and don't understand the reasons or use-cases.
At home, I may have a 96 core EPYC with 512 GiB of Reg'd ECC RAM, but it doesn't have the locality or reachability of something that's with you. Network presence and low-latency aren't a given.
DEFCON 19: Bit-squatting: DNS Hijacking Without Exploitation (trivia: at the time of filming, I was excessively-hungover and laying across 6 seats in the middle of an empty area to the extreme right, from the podium's perspective. I did watch the presentation with sunglasses on indoors because my eyes weren't cooperating nicely with photons.)
I stumbled upon a book called Refuse to Choose and it’s about a personality type (that is definitely not ADHD) that happens to want to do a lot of things (sometimes in parallel or in sequence). It was very comforting to know others struggle with this and this book helps you to be ok with it. I wouldn’t say it “cured” me but I think about it differently now and use it more to my advantage. Worth a read at a minimum.
There was one very profound idea in this book that goes like this:
“If you are no longer interested in a project you started, maybe you already got what you came for”.
In essence, maybe it’s not the finishing of the project you came for but maybe the learning or understanding of how it could be done if it were to be done.
This realization is interesting for someone who exhibits this behavior. When I was a kid, I loved to build legos but after following the instructions and building a kit, I wouldn’t touch it again. As I think back now, it likely was because “I got what I came for” (the challenge of putting it together was more interesting to me than the end product).
