Tangentially related to your question, Ed from Low Level has really good reverse engineering content that might pique your interest as well as a series of developer courses.

I attempted to update Nextcloud and failed spectacularly. Need to rebuild our family calendars now.

It's the times you don't pull out that get ya.

I'm this person and I often get misunderstood. I can be the center of a room and I'm loud not quiet. People attribute this with being an extrovert. I am absolutely not, I am an introvert. It's draining for me to be front and center but I don't mind doing it. I recharge by being alone. I have to explain this to folks often.

In my mind, it's a best of both worlds being able to do both. But the introvert/extrovert is about how you gain energy, not whether you are shy or center of attention.

They changed it a few years back to default to the Lifecycle fund which matches your retirement date.

It's been a long time but I remember it being something like 18-24 months. Not a short ordeal.

Microtonal guitars exist. Jacob Collier's content might be up your alley. He explores all the interesting crevices of sound and music

1 hour @ 250F on the smoker. Finished at 425 in the oven to crisp up. Gonna toss them in homemade buffalo sauce and serve with curly fries.

Might as well link to the actual source which has a lot of great content.

The Backyard Homestead: Produce all the food you need on just a quarter acre!

 

I have a unique name, think John Doe, and I'm hoping to create a unique and "professional" looking email account like johndoe@gmail.com or john@doe.com. Since my name is common, all reasonable permutations are taken. I was considering purchasing a domain with something unique, then making personal family email accounts for john@mydoe.com jane@mydoe.com etc.

Consider that I'm starting from scratch (I am). Is there a preferred domain registrar, are GoDaddy or NameCheap good enough? Are there prebuilt services I can just point my domain to or do I need to spin up a VPS and install my own services? Are there concerns tying my accounts to a service that might go under or are some "too big to fail"?

I can expand what hangs off the domain later, but for now I just need a way to make my own email addresses and use them with the relative ease of Gmail or others. Thanks in advance!!

The Personal Finance wiki from that other site has a Prime Directive flowchart that spells out how you should allocate windfalls. Here's the US flowchart but they have them for other countries with their respective finance programs.

In short, if you already are able to live off a smaller income, build an emergency fund so you don't go backwards, then pay your future self. Don't inflate your expenses unnecessarily because that just makes the goal of retirement cost more in the end.
