I do a little bit of everything. Programming, computer systems hardware, networking, writing, traditional art, digital art (not AI), music production, whittling, 3d modeling and printing, cooking and baking, camping and hiking, knitting and sewing, and target shooting. There is probably more.

  • Oh yea, I have played a few PVP matches for sure. It’s always fun to see other peoples builds and I don’t think there are too many other games that make me sweat like AC6’s combat for PVP. Also always fun to see someone honor dueling like that.

    I always like to see my opponents reaction when I use an unconventional build too - I have a sniper build which makes use of that sidearm which disables their targeting so that I can try to out-range them, so I actually try to play it a bit stealthily and hide behind cover. Not my best build, but it definitely works better than one would think.


  • AC6 was quite good. I was able to beat NG++, all arena battles, S rank every mission and get all achievements in just under 91 hours of play, which is really nice because it strikes the right balance between a game that takes 5 hours and is too easy, and one that takes 1000 hours and is too tedious.

    More than any particular mission, I really liked the alternative story lines in NG+ and NG++ where it put new spins on something you had played before.













  • Like others said, you did fine. Make yourself safe, report it, call security if required, but also understand that when people are under extreme duress such as the death of a loved one, they want to blame anyone and anything.

    People have a really hard time coping with the fact that people often die without reason, unceremoniously, to such a degree that they feel they have been wronged by something or someone, even if there isn’t anything to blame.

    When this happens they may pick something they perceive as being in proximity to the event to blame to try to make sense of it. It might be disease, the equipment, the medication, a family member, or in this case yourself.

    You deal with this by knowing the facts of what happened, and knowing you did your best and aren’t to blame, and by understanding that people lash out when they are upset.

    Nothing you could have said would have helped the situation with this person in their state, so saying nothing and leaving to de-escalate the situation is 100% the best thing you could have done.





  • 1 - Ask them if they can either not drop the weights, or if the time this occurs can be adjusted to make it less of a problem. Document that you asked them somehow including date, time, what was said in the request, and how the request was sent.

    2 - If nothing can be fixed through step 1 review your condo rules and verify if they are breaching them by doing what they are doing, see what fines are like for each breach of whatever rules is covered by this. If there are no rules for this, you are basically screwed and should either lobby your condo board/property manager for a change in rules or move.

    3 - Set up a camera/mic and have your phone handy. Record the noise when it happens noting the date and time.

    4 - Submit a complaint to the condo board/property manager every time this happens including the date and time and the recorded evidence, citing which rules are being broken. Be prepared when you start doing this that your neighbor might try to retaliate. If they retaliate by making the noise worse, do the same thing recording it and sending it up the line. If you play music really loud or whatever, they may also try to retaliate by submitting complaints about you - try to not let them catch you out on that.

    Eventually, if your property management/condo rules are set up in a reasonable way they would either stop, get evicted by their landlord who is now receiving fines, or be evicted by proxy because the fines are too numerous and expensive. Repeatedly making complaints to your board/property manager usually gets them involved pretty quickly because it creates a constant nuisance they can’t easily ignore.



  • If you don’t need stuff publicly accessible, and just need it accessible to you, then set up a small computer on the network as an ssh Bastion host/jump server, put it on a VPN connection with a VPN provider that offers dyndns, forward the ssh port through the dyndns, and then off network, reverse proxy in with socks5 via key based ssh -D to gain access to all the services available inside the LAN.

    Been doing this for a few years, works great and no one is getting in without my ssh key.
