VHCOL area (San Francisco)


"middle class" usually means household income of 300k or so.

HomeAssistant, all IoT devices are on a VLAN that can only talk to HomeAssistant...HomeAssistant server only accessible via LAN or through WireGuard to my VPS (which WireGuard's to my router, which connects to my HA server).

Not perfect, not invulnerable, but it also only controls lights and harmless switches.

CC "debt" that's paid off in full every month is debt in the same sense that eating at a typical restaurant puts you in debt.

Don't get me wrong, unmanageable CC debt is a real thing, but that's not what we're talking about.

A six/seven figure donation for these companies is...nothing. While I'm all for grabbing my face eating leopard popcorn, I'm not sure I'd say this falls under that category. This amount of money doesn't feel like trying to buy favors

Sounds like you've only ever used desktops and/or laptops...

Firetrucks too, so I've been told.

For all the problems in the tech industry, having a large chunk of your compensation be in the form of RSUs does address this meme's complaint. Company does well = you get paid more.

Here's January of this year. San Francisco, so pretty moderate weather


typically don't run heat during the day, and low 60s at night (if at all) during the winter. Large temperature gradient throughout house, typically.

South facing windows gives kitchen and living room a greenhouse effect, particularly in the winter, hence the large daily temperature swings:
