#1 My first hub & patch cables back as an early teen to learn networking. #2 Air Fryer #3 Wedge pillow - Eliminated my chronic back pain completely in ~2 weeks about 7 years ago and it's not returned since I've kept using it. #4 CGM off Craigslist - wasn't approved from previous insurance, but made managing my illness go from frustrating to nearly effortless so I fought to find better insurance and I'm doing awesome. #5 Mint - Went from reckless spender to super saver. #6 Incline treadmill - lost 45lbs in the first year watching shows and movies

Fun memories. I still have copies of a lot of those .bas files with the original pinter/punter code. Did anyone ever actually get a rainman account?

purgedreality··on Ask HN: Best approach for always on TV dashboard
I love OptiSigns. I used it when I was a sysadmin and still use it at home for my homelab. Support has been great, they do a monthly newsletter and constantly add features. More importantly I've never had any weird downtime or deauth issues over a year since I've started using it. They handle mixing local and internet assets very well which allows me to make changes with PRTG dashboards and random >file.html scripts I run. They even have emergency/flash messaging for quick communication and a home app for employees who are remote.

I am not a paid endorser, just love the software.
