  • Look “professional” tends to help. It’s an overton window some, you’ll want to find the most professional you can look for what your face and body type. But you are essentially try to look like you are in a later stage in your career which people, because it takes time, associate with older people.

    Adding some muscle mass can help (you know towards dad bod no need for body builder shenanigans).

    Some old guy tricks are wearing smart pragmatic clothing, but are kind of commiting to the bit of being comfortable being an adult. So suspenders/belts to keep your pants up, fanny packs to store stuff you need on the go (medical kit, snacks), somewhere to have a pen, a utility knife, etc. Glasses if you need them. Hats that keep the weather off of you appropriate to your region. Etc






  • They are both declarative. The main difference is NixOS has the package build system built into its package management vs Microos which uses zypper and the Open Build System for package building.

    Both have declarative config files you either activate via command or get automatically referenced on reboot.

    For microos it both ignition, AND combustion.

    I’ll be honest though both have been a total pain in the ass (I say with love they are still opensource and Linux in the best of ways).

    There is a tool kit for sle micro (and I assume microos too) called elemental that builds them from ContainerFile/DockerConfig files that just feels more sane to me. If it gets too complex for a containerfile I’m doing something wrong anyways imho. That said I do really like NixOS/Guix ability to have the dev build tool, package build tool, distro build tool, and sysadmin tool all be the same language.


  • I use VMs for OS isolated and hardware isolation. I run containers on top of OSs for apps.

    That said I use Harvester so I can run containers on bare metal AND VMs as containers.

    Even on one bare metal I do this, so I can spin up a test VM of harvester to confirm configs. If you one node is super beefy a neat trick is to have VMs running a cluster so you can have a kind of high availability even if your infra is a single point of failure.


  • I’ll be honest this is the first time I had hope for interactions with people with narcisim and myself! Thank you. I’ve had some really awful experences with abusiveness from people with NPD and a sharp clash of between my sense of justice and their’s. It unfortunately felt like with them that it was just a game of extreme masking to protect they’re ego because my typical behaviors would draw unwanted attention to they’re flaws. You’re self awareness feels like they’re might be a way to both be genuine with you while also respecting your desire for ego protection, which tbh I just haven’t gamed out as a n option :)

    In your experience though, what recommendations or examples of positive experiences have you had with social interactions with autistic people?


  • A lot of highschool frustration I had made sense when I learned that other people had an instinctual drive to follow other peoples behaviors. It’s not bad I think there is benifits to following herd behavior I think, but I have personally benifited from being comfortable to buck or ignore trends in my life for sure too.
