I bought a Wooting 2 (analog mechanical keyboard) several years ago. It has suffered no visible wear since.

I'd love to try upgrading to the hall effect switches, but the keyboard still works so I can't really justify it.

I'm happy with it.

No thanks. I only eat photons.

So can pedestrians.

My apologies. I didn't intend to invalidate anyone's experience. I wanted to provide an alternative explanation for the same experience.

I've had some pretty bad days (and some bad years). Looking at everything through the lens of "the world isn't made for me" instead of "I'm broken" has helped me to cope, and has inspired me to search for new opportunities.

As you said, everyone's experience is valid.
Not every day will be good, and having a new viewpoint doesn't stop the pain. I do hope, however, that my viewpoint can help to provide comfort and guidance to someone.

You are not broken. The world around you is fundamentally broken for everyone except for the richest of people. You just have the disadvantage of being able to clearly see how broken it is.

Sounds about as forward thinking as most politicians I know.

I just discovered CopyParty. This video does a good job of explaining it.

Internet access is more difficult and less secure than LAN access. It can be done with a VPN hosted from a device on your LAN, but it's not trivial.
Port forwarding may also work, but be very careful with security. Opening ports to the internet is generally not recommend.

I assumed that you understood that the original joke was about having 0 wishes.

I also assumed that you were making a joke about factorials.

I decided to make my own joke about "!=" in your joke being misinterpreted as the programming symbol for "not equal".

My statement should be read as "0 is not equal to 1". This is a vacuously true statement, as it does not rely rely on any input, and is always true.

Have you seen new combustion cars? The tracking technology is the same in both. The only difference is that there aren't many old EVs to compare to.

I would love to not need a car, but I'll settle for an EV if I can disable the tracking.

I don't see how the vacuously true statement 0 != 1 has any relevance here.

Welcome to the club!

I have 3 computer monitors, and one is effectively dedicated to displaying Home Assistant. I started running HA on a Raspberry Pi 2 (not recommend, but possible), and upgraded to an old ThinkPad when adding a few more demanding tasks.

I've recently got into self hosting, ad found that HA runs equally well in docker as OS. The output on the laptop is not particularly useful considering you can do just about everything remotely.

Advice: Make backups, save any configuration files you make/change, then just go nuts and tinker with everything.

Almost everything can be done using the GUI (and it's fairly user friendly), but it's worth at least knowing how to access the YAML. Copying other people's code (with permission) is a great way to learn and find new features.

Read the documentation before installing the community store (HACS). Is easy to install, but has a few steps that will keep you troubleshooting for hours if you don't follow them the first time.
My favourite HACS integration is apexcharts-card. It takes a little learning to get right, but the graphs look really good. I'd be happy to share some tips and examples if you're interested.

I got diagnosed with laziness. Years later someone looked at the full report and said "they recorded textbook symptoms, how did they miss that?"

The worst part was that I got congratulated when doing well (the stuff I didn't even have to try at), and was punished when I didn't produce results. It was when I was trying my hardest - to the point of burnout - that I was called lazy.

Even today that word hurts.
