@whitequark interesting! where is conceptual ground for you in this? I see this more like being given a tool that I can decide to use or not. akin to dressing the wound or knitting the sweater

@whitequark yeah, it’s my previous country as well. at that time there were like 4 psychiatrists in the whole country who treated adult adhd. I had my share of unuseful and even harmful solutions and trauma along the way

But do you see another way around?

@whitequark it’s utterly disgusting and a bit sad that when you are disabled on top of other things to get better you have to fight/hack/neglect the system that was supposed to help you

@whitequark RSD is a friend of my ADHD. My therapist told me that you can use same rule as with an anxiety: it’s okay to be hurt sometimes with a clear reason why. Like if you made an effort to make a present for someone and they instead of being happy where rude or angry at you. but if it constantly hurts, especially if you are feeling guilty of person being upset on you, it’s not normal and it’s an disorder. in many cases it caused by parents giving no shit about your emotions in early childhood. Who would have thought that right

@whitequark for me it at least feels like agency: I can stop and process why it hurts and then I can decide either to be angry, to give zero fucks or to be hurt. But to unlock zero fucks option first I had to complete The Quest Of Finding Appropriate Drug Cocktail to stop living in constant anxiety (and psychiatrist who *belive* in adult ADHD ffs). As always anger is free

@jimcarroll don’t forget to backup both old and new encryption keys! They are used for field level encryption, so if you lose them some data will be lost as well. And if you are planing major version upgrade for Postgres I highly recommend to make a dump before you upgrade.

Mine went sideways,
I suppose because I messed up by running upgrade inside alpine based container, while pg itself is running on Ubuntu based container. musl vs libc broke locale metadata and I had to resort to restoring from the dump

@ryanc maybe some kind of alarm or emergency lighting with standby?

@eb @briankrebs I’ve seen another subtle hack recently: I suppose CMS haven’t been patched, so all the content on a website had few words in article to be made in links that also point to some shady pharma site. I wonder if it’s possible to check backlinks from Georgia’s site. But referrer check is 👌. So simple, much efficient!

@ryanc me too (running my own email server) random question: are you mail go to spam in gmail? My sometimes do and I have no idea what else I can do to ensure deliverability. Reverse DNS is pointing to mx domain (and apparently if must be prefixed with mail/mx) SPF/DMARC set, postmaster registered in Google console, DNS in DNSWL, candle lit in pentagram. Server IP is not blacklisted, but AS and consequently my subnet got bad rep.

@ryanc I’m thinking about finding someone who can sponsor AS file request for IPv4 PI in APNIC. I heard APNIC still can allocate PI for research use, but I’m in RIPE region, they don’t have this.

@jerry @feld yes! It even uses pretty much the same scrape config. In most cases it just a drop-in replacement for prometheus
