I actually did quit using them. But it wasn’t a case of switching from cigs to vapes and then just quitting a few weeks later.
I smoked for over 30 years and then moved over to vaping. I then vaped for about 7 years before finally managing to quit. That was 557 days ago now.
I will say coming off the vapes did seem easier than coming off cigarettes which I’d never managed to do previously,
Whether the vapes actually helped me quit I can’t say for sure but when I was on them I didn’t stink of smoke and I’m sure they are probably more healthy than actual cigarettes and they’re much cheaper so I look at the time vaping as a positive comparatively speaking.
I know some people dislike NetworkChuck but this video should help you get things going.
I have things scattered around different machines (a hangover from my previous network configuration that was running off two separate routers) so I’d probably look to have everything on one machine.
Also I kind of rushed setting up my Dell server and I never really paid any attention to how it was set up for RAID. I also currently have everything running on separate VMs rather than in containers.
I may at some point copy the important stuff off my server and set it up from scratch.
I may also move from using a load balancer to manage incoming connections to doing it via Cloudflare Tunnels.
The thing is there’s always something to tinker with and I’ve learnt a lot building my little home lab. There’s always something new to play around with and learn.
Is my setup optimal? Hell no. Does it work? Yep. 🙂
It’s never too late to make a change. Be the you that you want to be but don’t judge your worth against other people’s achievements.
Set a goal for yourself. Learn Japanese, release an app, cure cancer, whatever you want and aim for it on your terms. But be realistic and if needs be set a small goal first and work your way up.
Edit. Typo
That hadn’t even occurred to me. 😂 There I am, setting up tunnels on each server like an idiot…
