You need a domain name that will resolve to the IP address of the machine running the server. It doesn't need to be your own DNS server. If you already have a domain name, you can just add an A record that points to the IP in your local network.

Everyone has a vested interest in 50% of the population feeling good about the other half. And certainly we should all feel safer about being with fellow humans than with a bear. The fact that some of us don't feel that way means we should try to make them feel safer.

Thanks for the post. Does anyone have advice on how to become a moderator?

I still have a checkbook for the occasional handy man that doesn't want cash or transfer. I'm pretty sure most apps take a cut from business accounts, and others will report to the IRS when you make a certain amount, so for some workers it makes sense to avoid the apps.

Zelle is somehow the one that is usually free and does not report, but my credit union has a daily limit for Zelle transfers, so if the bill is larger, I offer payment in check as an alternative to cash since it's safer.

I think the generalization isn't really about white men per se, but about the demographic in power. Give a group unchecked power long enough and they forget how that came to be. I agree that it's not a rule, and maybe should be expressed as more of a heuristic: if you are speaking to someone that is in power, and you don't look like them, they might think you are not empowered.

Don't let the lack of nuance in that statement take away from all the very valid points being made. The plight is real, and hopefully the white men who are enlightened enough to not confuse circumstance with natural order will read and know to not take it personally.

I think HVAC will continue to be a necessity, especially considering the changes in climate we've seen. It's true that demand is seasonal though, so maybe you just need something temporary, at least until summer?

In regards to a career change, if you're serious, don't be deterred by the sunk cost fallacy. If you're not familiar with the idea, look it up: there's a lot of research and advice on how sunk cost tricks people. The gist of it is that yes, past investment in something matters, but only to the extent that the alternative can compensate for it in the long run.

Do the research on the alternative and crunch the numbers, if you'd be better off doing something else and it's promising then you should consider it seriously. Just remember what you learned: sometimes jobs come and go.

I think the show does a good job at showing how easy it is for Dale and Bill to swap too. Just recently watched the episode where they basically end up in a ditch because they didn't really know how to use a digger - it's hard to tell who is dragging down who.

If you wouldn't mind, are there any other issues you've experienced, and can you provide more details just to make it easier to reproduce the issue?

I'm interested in starting to contribute to the project, and this sounds like a good issue to document. Seems to me like we'll always find different players falling short for certain media, so making this thing a sort of preference is not a bad quality of life improvement.
