Fair enough DD is also a good choice!!

Last I looked one of the typical Linksys recommended model (WRT series) hadn’t been updated in a while in DD.

OpenWRT also had a ton of “internet support”…. or a little more than DD, again last time I looked.

I currently use a Synology, because I don’t have the mental energy to tinker right now 🙂

If you are somewhat tech savvy start here: OpenWRT

Saved for a rainy day… might give it a try!

Are the Darwin Awards still a thing??

Since I avoid human contact as much as possible… it would be weird that a stranger had a dream with me in it 🙂

Yeah, that was a very little sleep for a few days after kinda movie.

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing the “why” behind this bringing you happiness!!

This is true, for many happiness can be found in nature. Let’s hope we continue to have a planet in the next few years!!

Thanks for posting!!

I didn’t… I stumbled in to it, by accident, realized I knew what I was doing, found a full time job. It pays the bills now… but man it’s not fun anymore.

To be honest, “what do I do with my life” is not the right question.

What do you want to do as a career, is different. You can have a career / job and still do “other things with your life”.

Separate the two… find something you can tolerate that pays well (as another poster said), then go find things that make you happy when you do them for enjoyment.

Feathery murder scene, that made me laugh!! Cats will do that 🙂

Thank you!! I’ll add it to the list of things to watch… eventually 🙂

Thank you so much for the links!! I will check them out when I have a few minutes. I also hope a few others find them useful or interesting and give them a look.

I wish I were smarter about plants. I’m not sure what genus they would be in. I just know, I can’t kill them if I try. It makes the front of the house look nice and I don’t have to do anything 🙂

Thanks for hug, right back at you!!

I really appreciate your perspective and what you’ve brought to the conversation. True, not everything has to be a “thing” to have joy, happiness, etc. It’s cool, you are able to see that value in your world 🙂

As an aside, I have no sense of smell… which does have its perks!!

It’s great you’re in a place where simple things are what you focus on!!

Nothing was interrupted as patronizing or reductive. We all have different perspectives and views. Different feelings on a subject, etc. it’s all good.

I really hope the family matters resolve themselves!!

Again, thank you so much for the post!!

I was completely unaware you could make homes for ants! I appreciate this post purely for the educational value!!

I salvaged some Spider Wort and that stuff is growing like crazy. I don’t even do anything to it.

Appreciate the kind words. Again, thank you for posting!!

Cool! I used to be into the tech thing… now, I’ve given up 😂

I remember getting Gentoo set up once but, couldn’t daily drive it. Just wasn’t for me.

I hope the move to Gentoo is seamless!!

Thank you!!

Sounds like the simple things are your vibe! That’s awesome! I can’t remember the last time a ate a French fry 🤔

Soooo, looking up Bug Fish gave a ton of responses. Care to let us know which Big Fish you are referring to?

Really appreciate you posting!!

I hope it is really successful and you go on to record many more!!

Good luck!!!

It’s interesting to me the number of people I have met that find cooking brings them joy or happiness. It’s cool and all, but, for me a little odd. Probably because I eat to survive and not to enjoy.

I bet friends and family are appreciative of your joy of cooking!!

Thank you so much!!

That is a very fair and valid statement! Animals in general always seem to be a bright spot for people. Unless of course said animal is trying to eat them… then maybe not so much 🙂

Thank you for sharing!!

I guess in a sense calm and contentment could be a form of happiness or joy. Not sure everything has to be a huge emotional experience.

The cool thing for you is that there are so many other folks who enjoy it. Plenty of people to share with.

Appreciate you posting!!
