I run a Arch Linux tier 1 mirror. Somehow mine's one of the few.

I am a part of a community that writes better stories and more of them with 3d graphics on top of that, spanning 3000 years
Except it's all in Roblox.
That I run three home servers with over 25 services for work, home security, and website projects. No one cares about it but I really enjoy doing it :)
Ohh, that’s nice. Have put a lot of effort into security?
Cause I once proposed selfhosting just one, two services for work and everyone freaked the shit out that running security yourself will fuck you up in the long run if it’s supposed to be used commercially
I once made a Naruto remix that got played at anime expo back in 2003/2004.
I have two uvuulas. The regular one, and one underneath my tongue.
I was technically born with two, but it was due to clefting. It caused me to have pretty nasally speech, so they’ve since been surgically combined. Now it kind of looks like a wreath
Cool!
I was on a show called Canada's Worst Driver. Hence my username
If that's the case, shouldn't your username be @[email protected] are you thinking about going global?
Well tbh, I'm still working out how a lot of this federated thing works and this was my gateway to Lemmy after the Redditpocalypse
We all believe in you! If you want to take your driving global, do it (just get a go-pro 1st so we can all witness)! 😂 In all seriousness though, I've never been to Canada so I don't have any info to compare, but I've driven extensively in the US. There are really only 3 cities that scare the daylights out of me: Baltimore, Maryland, Houston, Texas, and Dallas, Texas - and that's just highway driving, the suburbs are whole other kettle of fish. If you ever feel bad about your driving just google driving videos from one of those cities
haha, I just recently watched Kurtis‘ Video about that show! So, did you… win?
I was the buddy hanging on for dear life. The driver was a good friend, but a horrific driver. He almost got the title. Both times, cause they invited him back for the Worst Ever season
I can guess the right socket/wrench I need from looking at the bolt 90% of the time
I can basically just choose not to throw up, unless liquor is involved in which case it depends how much I've drank.
A. I got to drive a train when I was 9 (a family friend charted a Chicago Elevated train for his graduation party and as the youngest person on the train one of the operators said "hey you wanna drive the train" and so I got to drive the train for a bit
B. I went back to college a few years ago and managed to complete a 2 year degree with a 3.71 GPA while attending college full time, working 20+ hours per week at times as the sole breadwinner while my wife was pregnant with our second child and I had to commute about an hour each way to school and work. I literally started my second semester the day after we returned home from the hospital after his birth. Unlike driving a train I don't intend to recreate that experience ever again...
My sister had to take a final exam at college right after having a baby, my mom held the baby outside for her while she did.
I went to university after having my first set of kids while they were little but wasn't working much. Tried to go to grad school while working full time and parenting and it wrecked my life so completely I didn't think there was any amount of future income that would have made it worth doing. Even now, I can't imagine it.
Yeah it was a pretty rough period of time and I absolutely felt the "work hard, play hard" pendulum swing where as hard as you work you have to relax equally hard, but I tripled my pre-college income in just 2 years (which isn't hard when I was only making $12/hr) so in the long run it worked out but I wouldn't recommend such a grind to others if they can help it
