Yeah that Minecraft setup is ridiculous now, then you get ads.
A big one like the Honeywell HEPA ones is also great. Filtering only, don't get the ionized ones. You can just replace the prefilters once a year or so (can vacuum them off to reuse once or twice) and the actual HEPA filter lasts a really long time.
Claritin or whatever works and aerobic exercise daily also does major wonders.
Look up the basic pizza dough recipe from America's Test Kitchens. Super easy, and you can add garlic rosemary or whatever you want to it.
You don't even need a bread maker. Couple cups of flour, yeast, oil and salt with some warm water in a bowl mixer makes most excellent pizza dough.

I've always wondered why no one thought of redesigning the jack. Have it just be form-fitted outside contacts, with magnetic adhesion to hold the plug in place. There isn't any real reason it has to be a socket.
The reason is of course the masses just use Bluetooth, or deal with the dongle, because they absolutely must have an iPhone.
MS doesn't care about the desktop operating system except how can they control it like Apple and iphones. All the money is in O365 and Azure these days.

with the demise of ESXi, I am looking for alternatives. Currently I have PfSense virtualized on four physical NICs, a bunch of virtual ones, and it works great. Does Proxmox do this with anything like the ease of ESXi? Any other ideas?
I'd expected this but it still sucks.

After Kaitlin Armstrong was accused of killing professional cyclist Anna Moriah Wilson over a disastrous love triangle in 2022, she fled to Costa Rica with a fraudulent passport, hiding out in a touristy beach enclave for more than a month while an international manhunt sputtered.
But even fugitives sometimes need jobs.
Armstrong eventually answered an ad seeking a yoga instructor. Unbeknownst to her, it was placed by the U.S. Marshals Service, investigators revealed to CBS’s “48 Hours” this weekend. It was authorities’ last resort to lure her out of hiding, and Armstrong’s response led them right to a beachside hostel.
Armstrong, 36, who was found guilty of first-degree murder late last year in Wilson’s slaying, has been serving a 90-year sentence. Her month-and-a-half-long disappearance following Wilson’s slaying drew national attention and rocked the cycling community, which mourned the death of 25-year-old Wilson, an up-and-coming gravel cyclist. Interest only mounted when authorities said they suspected Armstrong had shot Wilson over a romantic entanglement with another pro cyclist, 35-year-old Colin Strickland.
Authorities spent weeks on the hunt for Armstrong, as the case escalated from police in Austin — where the murder happened — to federal investigators.
U.S. marshals, in charge of apprehending federal fugitives, eventually zeroed in on a touristy beach town in Costa Rica, where Armstrong was suspected to have fled. They staked out the town and spent days asking locals about her, but she proved hard to find, investigators told 48 Hours — she was using a fake passport, had gotten plastic surgery, changed her hair and taken on different names.
“We decided we were gonna put an ad out for a yoga instructor and see what would happen,” Deputy U.S. Marshal Emir Perez told 48 Hours. They received no response to their post for almost a week, he said.
Just as the marshals were ready to head home, “we got a bite,” Perez said. Somebody responded to their ad identifying herself as a yoga instructor and wanted to meet. “And we said, ‘This is our chance!’”
It was Armstrong.
She was arrested at a hostel on Santa Teresa Beach, escorted back to Texas, charged and held in jail. Her trial began and concluded in November 2023.
Armstrong’s run from authorities began in spring 2022. The yoga teacher and real estate agent was living with her boyfriend, Strickland, in Austin at the time, The Washington Post reported.
Wilson was staying at a friend’s home in Austin, ahead of a race she planned to complete in that weekend. Wilson and Strickland had been briefly romantically involved in 2021, while he and Armstrong were split. But Armstrong and Strickland later rekindled their relationship, and Armstrong seemingly viewed Wilson as a romantic rival — shaking with rage when she found out the pair were still in touch, and later warning Wilson to stay away from Strickland, The Post reported.
On May 11, 2022, Wilson met up with Strickland to go swimming. After having dinner, Strickland dropped Wilson off at her friend’s home, The Post reported. A minute later, what appeared to be Armstrong’s car stopped next to the same residence, according to the police affidavit.
When Wilson’s friend arrived home that night, she found Wilson lying on the bathroom floor, bleeding from multiple gunshot wounds.
Authorities interviewed both Strickland and Armstrong the next day — Armstrong offered no explanation as to why her car was there that night. On May 17, investigators found a ballistic match between shell cases recovered at the scene and a pistol that Strickland had previously bought for Armstrong, and Austin police issued an arrest warrant.
But by then, Armstrong — last spotted at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey — had vanished.
A month later, the U.S. marshals arrived in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, in pursuit of Armstrong following a source’s tip, they told 48 Hours. Many of the town’s residents looked similar to Armstrong, like foreign tourists on a tropical getaway, they said, complicating the task. The investigators even sent one of their operatives to the local yoga classes, in hopes they would spot Armstrong.
“We made friends with people there that would send us pictures. Oh look, I — I think I saw her at this restaurant yesterday and she’s in the back in the background of a photo that I took, stuff like that,” said Deputy U.S. Marshal Damien Fernandez.
Eventually, the investigators posted on a local Facebook page. “Just saying, hey, we’re at this hostel, we’re looking for a yoga instructor as soon as possible. Please contact us at this number,” Fernandez told 48 Hours.
After days with no responses, Armstrong replied.
Perez, disguised as a tourist, approached her at a local hostel alone to get a closer look at her, and confirmed she was the fugitive they had been after.
“He gets in the car, and he is like, ‘That’s her. She’s in there,’” Fernandez said.
Armstrong is serving her sentence at Plane State Jail in Dayton, Tex.
They look all scared and stuff but in spite of the memes a herd of feral hogs can in fact mess you up or kill you. 20 of them is a scary proposition if they suddenly decide to take a stand.
Frequency is the really indicative one. If that drops too much the grid will physically melt down, and that is bad.

Numerous Silicon Valley tech companies have settled in Austin in recent years, but just as many are now leaving due to 'lackluster' startup scene.
Council members voted Thursday to amend the city's land use rules, allowing developers to build up to three homes where only one or two were previously permitted.
This is one of the more misdirected things the city has done. There are literally rows of empty houses and empty apartments near me that stay permanently empty except some weekends when they are filled with bachekorettes going WOOO at 1 AM.
You can walk down Haskell and see such a row of small apartments, all empty and used strictly for STRs.
And the removal of occupation limits hamstrings one of the only tools holding the AirBNB owners accountable, not that they care much about fines anyway.
The STR issue is rapidly killing our neighborhoods, and now there will just be more.
Here is data if you don't believe me.

Also people are doing this anyway, just building sheds from scrap lumber and running an extension cord to them and renting them out. Code doesn't seem to care, so how could this ever go wrong?
