I haven't been able to post much, but I have been reading and following the thread whenever I have the chance. I was wondering, am I the only one who reads this thread backwards to catch up on new posts?

Anyhow, I've been busy updating my servers in the datacenter where I work. It had been four years since my last visit, and I needed to replace a failed hard drive with new SSD drives, as well as update some old cPanel VMs.

All was going well until I forgot the admin password - un-fucking-believable! Panic set in as I never forget passwords or at least have them securely stored somewhere. This hypervisor contained 12 important VMs and our Primary DNS, and after an hour of trying every possible password, websites and webapps started dropping! I knew I knew the password, as I remembered rebooting it a few years back (it had over 1000 days of uptime). It was late, and the stress and pressure were really getting to me - I'm not usually like this, I work well under pressure. In fact, back in high school, I used to complete my assignments the night before and still do better than 95% of the class. Eventually, I managed to crack into the box, change the admin password and booted everything back up. Just the thought of what would have happened, caused this sinking feeling I wouldn't want to have again!

I think I'll pull the plug with working at the next ATH (whenever that may be). While I've always thought that I don't need to work, but rather want to work, the truth is that many people rely on me to show up, causing me to need to work! However, it has all started to really get to me.

As you may know, I work in IT, and the ever-changing landscape is starting to affect me negatively. I used to enjoy it, but now, even small things are starting to bother me - dropping support for "screen"? What the fuck? My muscle memory for ctrl-a-d is ingrained in my fingers! Now they want me to use tmux? That stuff is dreadful - or am I just getting too old for this shit?

CentOS has stopped development of CentOS 8 in favour of CentOS stream, and I'm not sure why. I couldn't be bothered with digesting the information to work out the advantages, etc. How does this affect me? cPanel will drop support for CentOS 7 in June 2024, and I think they've already dropped support for CentOS 8, and will not support any Stream variants. Anyhow, they're pushing for a paid version of CloudLinux, which I was very tempted to use to replace the current setup as I thought there weren't many options.

I was wrong - AlmaLinux and RockyLinux are excellent alternatives. The younger me would have realized this years ago! What I'm noticing is that I'm not doing my due diligence or researching. Has the landscape gotten so big? Am I just getting too tired to learn more, or am I holding onto the past? Or has YouTube Shorts and Instagram rewired my brain to have the attention span of a 10-year-old?


TL;DR - CentOS is now AlmaLinux

I know where your coming from.
Having worked in IT for a number of years the appetite for learning yet another distro or windows install wanes.
Eventually you get to the stage of not giving a cr@p and thats when I got out.
Too many people rely on your skillset to not care so it was time to change my job.
To be fair the size and scope of IT these days is so vast that you need many specialists.
I now enjoy my retirement with more sedate things but still tinker with computers on things that interest me.
Also remember that if you were to drop dead today your position at work would probably be filled within a week.
Life is too short to not enjoy it.

The last few months have taken its toll, both mentally and physically. I feel the under appreciation and the demands from some clients/customers to have things finalized in an unrealistic time frame hasn’t helped!

My dilemma is that I own the business and while some clients are a pain, I still consider them almost family. Some have been with me for almost 20 years, the thought of just dumping them and running, doesn’t sit well.

If I was an employee, I probably would have been relaxing on the beach with @El duderino_, posting “Where Am I?” clues.

But starting to come to terms with the idea of letting it all go! Maybe it’s time to start planning an exit strategy.

I am happy you got out and are enjoying retirement. You are right, life is way too short!

I feel your pain!

I reached burnout in 2011 in the copier/printer business. First off, I went through the customer list to identify which were taking the most resources and which were the most profitable. I found many were on opposite ends of both scales. Picked the ones that were most demanding and least profitable and fired them. Respectfully recommended they call my competitors as I simply didn't have the resources to continue giving the value they deserved. Then I went through a 2 year process of converting as many of my T&M customers over to monthly or quarterly billed annual contracts. The contracts were about 10% less profitable, but it converted my customer base into an easily valued asset that I could then sell. Sold to another dealer that wanted to expand into my market and signed a 3 year contract to work with them through the transition at an agreed salary. Best decision I ever made.

gratulation for it!!

Having an average entry below $30K is pretty successful without trying to time the market. MSTR starting accumulating almost 32 months ago (Aug 2020), and the average DCA price from that would be $33K. Despite their high buys in the $50K to $60K range, they have actually outperformed the market (so far) compared to everyone's expectations. They bought most around $30K if not mistaken, that helped.

I was court ordered to AA years ago and went up there and called them all a bunch of weak willed pussies and was told I was a disrupting influence and they signed off on my court mandated meetings.

*I was pissed right off the bat when I read the steps and one of them was to accept jesus as my lord and savior and told them there is no way I was going to do that.

we use higher power in GA and the higher power can be anything but yourself.  Ie just admit you are not all powerful.

so any boogy man will do?

sorry still not going to lie and say some invisible "higher power" exists whether I'm court ordered to do it or not.

I don't live in Iran.

Freedom from forced religion is why this country was founded even though they just wanted to worship their own way.

you are bringing your own prejudice to what I am saying. I am saying I don’t believe I am all powerful.

Thus there is something more powerful than me.

For me personally I don’t believe in any specific being.

I tend to think that the universe is more powerful than I am.

The other day a F2 Tornado missed my house by 2500 feet.

Do I think I told the tornado 🌪️ pissoff and begone. Hell no.

But did I prey to Jesus to save me and my wife from it? No.

I hoped the the universe or good old charlie (death) was not for me and my wife that day.

So my acknowledgment was mamma nature or the universe could have did us in. But did not.

But thats my level of higher power belief.

But rather than a higher power I would prefer a higher chart number.

I found this image on the homepage of a social media platform.
There's something interesting about this picture so I saved it.

Those who are addicted to the pleasure of smoking try to be able to bring it into the stadium in any way so that they can enjoy while enjoying their team playing.

I may also be addicted to Bitcoin which is delicious enough to be enjoyed in the midst of conditions where people have weak hands.

Glassnode Report About Bitcoin's Circulating Supply
According to the glassnode report, more than 53% of Bitcoin's circulating supply has not moved from Their wallet in These previous two years which is a new all-time-high for these specific reports. Which mean a huge quantity of Bitcoin are in the hand of most discipline investor in the world, which decrease the fear of a big dump again in Bitcoin price.

Also from another report shared by glassnode that in these previous five years around 29% of the Bitcoin circulating supply has not been touched(the number of Bitcoin is 5.6million which worth around $158billion)
Glassnode also shared an another interesting report too that 2.7 million BTC, worth $76 billion has not been moved from their account in a decade which is 15% of circulating supply.
I think such a kind of positive news about Bitcoin must be shared in order to remove fear from investor mind and give them an extra confidence.
