I like it when people have headphones on and are lip syncing the words to their obviously bitchin song.

"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do" - Atticus Finch

Affordable Care Act, you owe me drinks. Lots of drinks.

Imagine what it is like to administer the compliance end of it. The nightmare caused by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (as amended) rages ever onward.

Man, I wasn't sure if GNOME 3 was cool enough for me to use, but if Justin Bieber uses it I'd better use it too!

Actually he does not seem to use it: but his girl does, and she obviously knows when things are hip!

Deferred maintenance. I have a good deal of it. There's some things that I need to fix with my house, but also things that I need to take care of with my health. I haven't been taking great care of myself.

Part of it is that I have issues with my knees that prevent me from running, and even prevent me from swimming. I can do yoga, but I even need to be careful with that.

I went to my doctor this past week, and she has written a prescription for me to go to physical therapy, but I won't go before she gets a look at an xray of my knee.

I hope I can make some positive changes that will last in my life. I know that if I tell friends and family about it, that they will support me, so that is good.

I can completely sympathize with you, Jim. I luckily don't have the need for x-rays of my knee and the associated limiting of mobility. I'm so sorry you do. Sadly I also know there's nothing friends from afar can do, really (as long as you're financially sound), but know we care.

My friend wants to self-host his email on a Linode instance, and I'm halfway inclined to talk him out of it. Should I? The only people I know who do it are cwebbs and cwebbs. Oh, and cwebbs. Yeah, I just know one person. I guess the worst that can happen is that he learns the issues really well. Maybe I can just advise him of things to watch out for and wish him luck.

I feel like my recommendation should be full on "do it!"... sadly the very reason it has become so hard to do it it is because few people are doing it.

The problems of self-hosting are an "economy of scale" problem too, paradoxically! The reason being, it's easy to push out those who self-host because they're a minority right now, and making self-hosting easier could happen, but it would require more people taking the effort to go through the problems so that solutions can be found.

I host my own. postfix + dovecot + spamassassin. I've been having trouble sending email to aol, but gmail goes through no problem. Hosted on digital ocean. I got a recomendation for sendgrid for outgoing mail, but I haven't tried it yet.
