Quitting drinking is a peculiar beast. If you were a “normal” drinker, you might only experience some mild mood irritation or have an issue getting to sleep if nightcaps were your thing. You might experience nothing.
If you were a heavy drinker and immediately quit, that can actually kill you. I am going to be realistic here: Ex-drinkers in my class of alcoholic could drink a few bottles of wine, or a case of beer or 5th of liquor throughout the day and then drink more after that, pass out drunk and then start the next morning with a couple of shots.
Alcohol withdrawal in those extreme cases can be deadly. When I quit, I was in bed for a week, with supervision, and had a detox center on speed dial, just in case. It’s no joke. (I should add that my approach was still risky and stupid.)
But yeah, quitting anything that is addictive is going to piss your body off a little. Eventually, if you lay off the “bad things” long enough, your body will recover. You can see the full gambit with nicotine though: Agitation, higher BP, sweats, etc. It depends on your body.
Above all else, talk to a doctor. Everyone’s situation is always unique and is rarely diagnosed properly over social media.
I learned a lot running a drop shipping based novelty store for a bit and it seems that human sexuality has very few boundaries. As long as nobody gets hurt (unless that is their thing) and everyone is of age, people should explore what they want to explore.
I made a little bit of a joke about that in my last comment, but it was just superficial. It’s someone’s thing and they have every right to get off how they choose. (TBH, the people I met that were on the extreme side of things were very open and had a good sense of humor about it.)
That explains my confusion. Something looked really off and and my brain couldn’t compute what I was seeing, TBH. The elevators looked right, but I still wasn’t sure.
Edit: There more. Is that whole group British? The last two fixed wing aircraft that fly by aren’t 'murican either. I see a Black Hawk-type helicopter, I think. We use SH/HH-60s in our Navy that have their rear strut moved way forward. The British and Americans both use LCACs as well. The leading helicopter might actually be a Merlin followed by some Wildcats. Alas, all I can make are stupid guesses now.
Edit: I was looking at this from an American perspective and assuming these were all 'murican ships and aircraft. There aren’t. Nothing I previously wrote would align with the video since the British navy is weird. So, I just erased my assumptions. They were likely all wrong anyway.
There is a term for things like that: “mental gymnastics”
People can naturally hold conflicting ideas or sometimes feel the need to believe things they know aren’t true. It’s extremely important for people to become more self-aware in that regard as it is something that can be exploited by religions, politicians, cults or scam artists.
Everyone is vulnerable to it, to different degrees. Even in the privacy of our own thoughts, most of us have tried to convince ourselves of something that wasn’t true, regardless of any facts we have seen. It’s just human nature.
It’s possible, especially when it comes to things like luck or illusion. Most people know that magic isn’t real, but some still tend to fall back on magic as an explanation for a really good illusion.
There is a fine line between holding two beliefs that are in direct contradiction and understanding that something you want to be true is something that you also understand is a misconception, is my point.
That myth is still pushed by many TV shows to this day, unfortunately. I believe that most public emergency defibrillators work automatically, so that is nice.
Meh, I didn’t mean to hate on DHCP. It’s just a service I have learned to keep running all by itself somewhere in a dark corner of my network. DNS and DHCP are just services that I don’t like going down. Ever.
DHCP is a really stupid* service for the most part. Unless you are working with multiple subnets or have some very specific settings you need to pass to your clients, it’s probably not worth it to manage it yourself. I don’t want to discourage you though! Assigning static IP addresses by MAC can be extremely useful and is not always an option on routers. If you want static names and dynamic addresses, that is really where you need to manage both DNS and DHCP. It really depends on how and where you want names to be resolved and what you are trying to accomplish. (*stupid as in, it’s a really simple service. You want it simple because when DHCP breaks, you have other serious issues going on.)
Setting up your own DNS is worth its weight in gold. You can put it just about anywhere on your network (before your gateway, after, in China, whatever.) and your network won’t even know the difference if setup correctly. You can point BIND at the root servers and bypass your ISP completely if you want. ISP DNS services suck ass, so regardless of you resolve yourself, or forward all name queries to your anon DNS server of choice you have a really decent level of control on your network. It is the service to learn if you want to keep an eye on where your network wants to talk.
Your Unifi USG must play nice with your own server, by the laws of DNS. There may be some nuances when it comes to internal protocols like WINS, but other than that, it should be just fine.
I would setup a simple VM somewhere first, to answer your actual question. It’s good practice to keep core services isolated on their own, dedicated instances. This is to speed up recovery time and minimize down time. Even on your home network, DNS and DHCP are services you do not want going down. It’s always a pain when they do go down.
Your frame of mind is “dangerous”. If you are browsing on your servers as root, you need to not manage servers anymore. If that sounded harsh, learn about attack surface area first and then I might let you back in the server room.
You won’t find discussions about running browsers as root because it’s not something you should need to discuss. Also, you don’t need to be browsing “shady” websites to get compromised. Get that myth out of your head.
find it more convenient to use the command line from a remote desktop instead of directly SSH-ing into the system
How is extra steps and added latency more convenient? The latency of a console via remote desktop would drive me crazy. Hell, I haven’t installed any kind of desktop environment on Linux server for over 20 years. It’s not needed and a waste of resources. Who needs file managers anyway?
