  • It is, but not when they try to “educate” everyone around them at every breath they take, every text message and every conversation.

    It ended up with everyone saying “dude stop, we don’t care at all” and him apologizing then saying “ok sorry, my mistake, I explained it wrong that’s why you didn’t understand”.

    Again and again and again. It is a disease that needs medical treatment (psychiatric, the same as people leaving cults) and the way he described it fits the description. He said that he “fell in it” (tomber dedans in French, as in falling in a pit) by being bored at work and watching too many YouTube videos to pass time.

    We tried to help, but after 2 years we were exhausted. Dude doesn’t want to be helped and we are not medical professionals.

    Last news was that he now hangs with another former friend from school that also refused to change and get help, the only cocaine addict of our small town. To the village they are known as the crazy guys sitting on a park bench all day and feeding each other craziness. To them they are probably the only two enlightened dudes and everybody else is too dumb and needs to be awoken.







  • We had the same sanctuary light (thanks for the name) in my school chapel.

    But it was made with a simple LED and resistor circuit (probably made in the school ‘techno’ class).

    A friend and I got kicked out of catechism for removing the battery of that LED circuit.

    It wasn’t a big loss anyway, I remember the teacher being all pumped up when we asked “so God is the God of all Gods?”. He made us write that down, which is a totally false affirmation for a monotheistic religion (God if the only one, there are no others).

    Anyway, I was happy to be kicked out of catechism 🤷🏻‍♂️

    It is very good but depend on what you want to host.

    I have a second hand cheapest M2 with Asahi Linux and some container (like pihole) but not much. I like that it is small, silent and energy efficient (and it can run Xplane12 in 4k !). But I have an homemade NAS so most of the multimedia stuff and containers are on here and not on the MacMini.

    The M4 seems incredible, but Asahi Linux only support M1 and 2 at the moment (it might work with M4 tho).

    The problem with the mini would be disk space if you are looking for a NAS usage, although I have seen here on lemmy a dude making a Mac Mini NAS (can’t find the post anymore).

    But even without Asahi, an M4 with Mac OS, docker and a VM if needed would be plenty of power for price and energy. You can also upgrade to a 10Gbe NIC if your network supports it. Plug it to some screens and you have a workstation + docker server in one place.
