  • I own a free oracle cloud virtual instance because it was free and better than every other free service. 100% dedicated VI, 4Gbps network bandwidth, 4CPUs at around 2.5GHz, 24GB RAM, and 200GB. All free. And no possible way to ever go over since those are static when I created the instance.

    This is for a personal project that I didn’t want hosted on my home server to expose to the open internet.

    I justify using oracle because I’m technically costing them money with no downsides for me.

    Fuck Oracle’s ownership though.


  • Many smart lights are not a security vulnerability. Get those that connect to a local only hub and or if you need access away from home for whatever reason, get HomeKit enabled devices.

    Plus, even if remote access could happen, it’s not even a security vulnerability to have a stranger turn on my lights. I just flip the switch off.

    I’m sitting here with my red and blue soft lighting in the evenings watching tv and playing games. It’s the perfect lighting.










  • And I have you tagged with the city we both live in! I think I know the school. I had an interest, but I’m already 9 years into my software engineering career and the pay is too much to give up.

    If you’re not in the Seattle Indies discord, send me a DM! Never too early to make connections.

  • My favorite recipe to make is this Japanese chicken curry with rice (cooked with star anise, cloves, cardamom, and a bay leaf). My friends used to love it. This is reminding me to make it again. Lasts for days if you make too much!

    I always do just carrots, potatoes, and sautéed onions. You can do fried or sautéed tofu instead of chicken like I use, and I bet it would be just as amazing!

    Happy cooking!
