  • Former USAF JAG here (lawyer). I was always a tech geek, undergrad major was in MIS actually, but I didn’t enjoy coding. Always ran Plex on the side, built my own computers, etc. Grew up with my Dad using Linux everywhere (I found this annoying as I just wanted to play games on Windows).

    I didn’t enjoy law (surprise!). I was disillusioned with the criminal justice system too. Quit the law in 2020. Then suddenly had quality time by global happenstance to rethink my life path.

    I work in IT now. Restarted at the bottom of a new career but I’m in deep nerd territory now - Proxmox servers, Home Assistant, networks with VLANs, OPNsense router, 22U server rack, Linux as my daily driver, etc.

    Much happier now.


  • If you are on iOS, I recommend using the following:

    https://ente.io/auth/

    It’s open-source and recommended by PrivacyGuides.

    I’m on Android, where that’s also an option I believe, but I’m using Aegis.

    Bitwarden also came out with an open-source MFA app, though it’s a bit new so I’d recommend waiting to see what folks say about it.

    Raivo uses to be a good (and the only decent) choice for iOS but I believe it was acquired by an insidious company.

    As a huge fan of Star Wars content from before Disney got involved and poisoned it (notable exceptions of Rogue One, Andor, some of the animated shows, etc.), I utilize warship names from the Expanded Universe (now called “Legends”) - what I like to call True Star Wars.

    My main server is Chimaera. My backup server that also performs as an NVR is Lusankya. My separate mostly-NAS server away from my server rack is Admonitor.

    I have sci-fi themed names (not all Star Wars - two other franchises represented here, virtual kudos to those who can identify) for the storage pools too (using TrueNAS SCALE on all three servers):

    • Chimaera (Main Server)
      • Star-Forge (Apps/VM Pool)
      • Holocron (Data Pool)
    • Lusankya (Backup + NVR Server)
      • Shadow-Broker (Apps Pool)
      • Resurrection (Backup Pool)
      • Spynet (NVR Pool)
    • Admonitor (NAS Server)
      • Mount-Tantiss (Apps Pool)
      • Datacron (Data Pool)



  • Something extremely modular and upgradable like the Framework, but with a 4K 120Hz HDR OLED display, that can fold back into 2-in-1 mode and that has connectivity for full bandwidth of an external GPU. Additionally, some way to connect to up to 3 displays at full 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 bandwidth (each) - at least - DP 2.1 would be even better. Maybe via multiple display outputs or some insanely-high-bandwidth port like Thunderbolt 5 for dock connectivity.

    The intent is to basically have a tablet-to-laptop-to-desktop experience, with virtually no compromises.
