Wrong Mom.

Remember, not everyone is born to the parents that deserve them and unfortunately I am sorry I made that mistake. Your bio-mom choosing to be a religious nutcase was why I left her. You deserved better and that is why I married your actual mom (although she wishes you stopped calling her Melissa and start calling her Mom) and she does care about you; even if you think she puts too much sugar in her cookies.

much love,

-Dad

So you feel China is betting on Silicon and that the actual future is Gallium arsenide ?

Because it has a direct band gap and at 1/50 of the thickness would be cheaper and more efficient than silicon?

Just focus on being your honest, authentic self.

No one trying to be cool, is cool.

The cool teacher is the one who authentically loves to teach and you’ll only discover that if you find that you love teaching.

Also, trust me; you’ll want to teach Queen. It is a classic for a reason.

-Love Dad

PS, call your mother more. She worries.

Queen is the answer to most music questions; including teaching.

Well, my precious child.

Your mother has been telling you to write more but I guess I should have been calling you more often.

Tell us more about your field of solar research and what bit around it you think we might need to know about.

My general Digitizing VHS tapes advise is:

Watch:

Look into:

and only if you have a shitload of personal VHS tapes should you get a TV tuner card and try to convert.

let me know if they actually end up having full capacity, because slow drives I can deal with. That price per TB is close enough to spinning metal to finally tip the scale for me towards SSDs

ssh -X ${hostname} works better than both even on ancient hardware (pre 1990)

If you are going to self-host please embrace a shell (bash, powershell, fish, zsh, etc) any shell; then you’ll be fast and productive even at 300 Baud.

a liter of Urine in the fuel tank would disable them, so make sure plenty of restrooms are available.

A $5 magnet and $30 of electrical equipment could cause the electrical systems to permanently burn out as the induced voltage might go too high. so you may wish to ensure electrical diagnostic equipment is properly grounded and not connected to electrical mains.

Also be careful with unidirectional speakers, they can shatter windows and cause extreme disorientation in the drivers even if the children in the vehicle can’t hear it…

Well, I know but your aim is getting better.

Well 16 year old laptops are still snappy Linux systems, so continue to use them or give them to other people for free who might have a use for them.

We appreciate the slrpnk admins <3 them all.

Down time is fine, I support the goals

Well, I would have to say the one that always used to make you laugh the most.

Why do teenage girls always walk in odd-number groups?

Because they literally can’t even.

Sadly, I never got you to laugh at 2, 3, 5 and 7

now that is some prime humor…

I was proud of you the day you first said dad.

I was proud of you the morning you first started to crawl

I was proud of you the first time you took a step

I was proud of you when you had your first day of school

I was proud that you stuck with education when I knew you were smart enough to succeed without a teacher telling you what to learn. Sorry that I wasn’t that great at expressing that. I am still working on that.

And yeah, I probably should have spent more time telling you that. I guess I still have a good bit more to learn about being a good father but don’t for a minute mistake that failing of mine as that you are not the son that I am proud of.

I am proud most of all that you are a good and decent person and not just for the first time.

Every day.

-Love Dad.

Well, I never raised you to believe that you are the things you buy but the acts of kindness, love and connection that we create with others.

And yeah, selling stuff sucks; (sometimes giving it away is easier emotionally, if not financially).

But you got this.

Little by little, we grow and change by hardship and struggle. Not by things being easy and handed to us on a platter.

And you have gotten your passport already correct? If not get the DS-11 form and fill it out today.

You are never alone, we carry those that care about us in our hearts.

You are loved and accepted for who you are.

And yes, it can be hard to be yourself some days.

But you are brave and strong enough to admit to yourself who you truly are; that means you can achieve any dream in your heart in time.

Focus not on external validation for a bit and think of all the new wonderful experiences that you can have being your self.

Life never happens on anyone’s schedule, you just have to give yourself time to feel, live and be present.

Also get a copy of your cat’s vaccination history (and make sure none are missing) if you want to take them to Sweden with you.

Well, it lacks a proper bootstrap and its documentation is basically empty trash.

hell live bootstrap has those and did it without requiring a file system or a kernel to get there https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap

It is hard because you are trying to be everything.

And it is ok to say, I just need a minute to sit down and breathe.

remember back to when you were little and stressed out.

I would hold you and put on this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcvXr-9XtgA

come on, sing it with me.

and when you are calm, we can sit down and open up excel and make sure your budget leaves plenty for sanity, fun and problems happening in life.
