Maybe woodworking? It can get dusty and you need some room but you can also make smaller things that don’t need big power tools or a lot of room. Like miniature things.

Or computer programming. Create an app. Or do something fun like follow one of the coding challenges from the YouTube channel The Coding Train

I have this vpn because it comes for free with my Google Drive subscription. I have never used it because it does not do what I expect it to do

• privacy, it’s Google.
• pretend to be in a different country is not available

“I can’t get any joy from the work anymore. I used to get joy from it. Don’t get me wrong, the colleagues are nice and all”

Probably most of your colleagues will agree with you and nobody gets offended.

I think it is because a dog has been seen as an object or tool for a long time. We are the owner. We buy the one that we like the most.

With humans we don’t have ownership over another human. The human is owned by itself. So we let everyone decide for themselves who the want to breed with. One person will select a partner that is nice, some like a “bad boy”, some like dark hair, blond, tall short, etc.

Also, humans are really not that different from each other while dogs can look like a completely different species.

What happens if you download something. Does it also upload while downloading?

Is it possible to download the torrent that you seed from outside your network by yourself? Mobile network, a friend or family wifi. To be sure that it does not download it all from someone else, create a torrent from a random file, upload it to a random tracker and download the torrent from outside your network.

I need to stay awake some time during the night to feed the baby or support my wife doing it. I always fight against the sleep and that is when the pre-sleep dreams are really getting weird. What is happening a lot is that I read something and half way the sentence I fall half asleep and at that point, my mind completes the sentence(s) with the weirdest things.

At least it had the decency too stay on it. Could have sit on it for a minute, walk away and then watch you eat it.

It depends in the country you are.

If you want to show of your skills, why not write an article about it. This way you don’t publish company property (maybe only snippets of code) and the viewer can read your reasons on why you made certain decisions.

But do not do this without consent of the company. If the company likes it, you could even start your article something along the lines of “here at %company% we like to write good code…”. Than it is a win-win. I see this a lot on sites like medium.com

That was a good read. Thanks for the link.

I’m using a simple cheap usb switcher (Aten 2 x 4 USB 2.0 Switch). I have connected a mouse, keyboard, card reader. One machine is connect to the monitor via hdmi and the other via display port. I simply switch video via the buttons on the monitor. The third machine is a laptop that is not connected to the monitor.

A dedicated KVM would be a better option but I’m not willing to spend that much money.

Try searching for “sound absorbing window vents” or “accoustic trickle vents” or “silent air vent”.

I think they all use something that is called an air maze. The air (and sound) will travel through series of bends covered with foam so the sound will be blocked but not the air. This does make the airflow slow down so it needs a fan the make it go through.

If that is the case, there are also fresh air thingies that are mounted on the wall and have a tube outside but block any sound from outside. Useful when having a bedroom next to a busy road.
