I would focus on having a solid backup strategy. Segmenting applications on different VM’s makes more sense in a data center when one application can serve an entire organization. For your personal workstation, it’s just going to add a lot of unnecessary overhead.
This reminds me of a buddy I used to have. He wore jackets exactly like this and even had two little dogs. He was a Vietnam vet and did, in fact, kill a whole bunch of people during the war. Something he never forgave himself for.
One time I asked him what that was like. He thought for a minute and said, “When you have your weapon trained on someone, for a split second you have the power of God in your hands. You get to decide if that person lives or dies. Nobody should have that kind of power.”
He was a character but a good dude overall.
Like a Peacock with glass packs.
Remember when the Governor of Missouri tried to have a guy arrested for notifying the state of Missouri that they had a breach in one of the state websites, making peoples PII publicly visible?
That’s the kind of idiots you’re dealing with here. “We added you to a group chat by mistake and it’s all YOUR fault.”
The US is currently shooting itself in the face and Russia is embroiled in a war that it can’t actually win.
All China has to do to reap the benefits is not interrupt.
How’s the humidity where you live? If you live in a dry climate, a swamp cooler might be a good option.
If you live in a humid climate, window units or portable AC’s are better than nothing. A long time ago, the only AC I had was a window unit in my bedroom. It was miserable overall but at least I had someplace I could go to stay cool and sleep comfortably at night.
Oh yeah. Fire the team responsible for pen testing. That’s real smart.

Take a car that’s stuck in reverse, slap a 454 Chevy big block in it. You’ll have a car that still drives the wrong way; but faster.
In posts on X following the incident, Tesla CEO Elon Musk called the incidents “terrorism” and said the company “just makes electric cars and has done nothing to deserve these evil attacks.”
OK buddy.
My tired brain read your comment as “shitpost economy” and somehow that still made sense to me.
Personally, I prefer Coors Light.

Jubilation T. Cornpone is the name of a Confederate general from an old comic strip called Lil’ Abner. In the story line, he’s kind of like a local “hero” who was famous for his incompetence.
So, my death will most likely be from some outlandish yet predictable, self-inflicted blunder. Like Wyle E. Coyote sawing through the edge of the cliff he happens to be standing on.
“I’ll have you know that fluffy is part Pomeranian. Can’t you tell from the constant, loud [yet deep throated] yipping?”
House. It’s my own space and I can customize it in any way I want.
“Packard Bell Desktop Computer. 240 Mhz CPU, 128 MB Ram. Comes with Windows 95 installed. The sound card alone is worth $100. MAGA. Let’s go Brandon. $1400. Will paint a custom ‘TRUMP’ logo on case for an extra $250.”
Something for poor people to worry about.
I can think of two reasons.
First reason: because things can and probably will get much better. Joy in life comes from the little things. That sounds cliche but it’s true. If I could talk to my 14 year old self, who was severely depressed to the point of trying (and thankfully failing) to take his own life, I would tell him about the next 20-ish years. Even though much of it will be hard, it will still be good. And he will grow in ways and get to experience things that he can’t even begin to imagine. That’s one thing I’m glad he failed at.
Second reason: because believe it or not, you will leave a giant crater in the life of someone (or multiple someones) where you once existed. My great grandpa hung himself in 1929. That’s all I know about him aside from his name. I never met my grandpa (died of cancer) but I remember my dad telling me a little about the impact it had on his dad, who was about 15 at the time of his father suicide. Long story short, my grandpa basically stopped growing emotionally at 15. He was a teenager who was very suddenly thrust into the role of an adult.
I don’t know what was going on with my great grandpa that led him to take his own life. I do know that what he left behind was a disaster. Including three generations of trauma, manifesting itself as a cycle of physical, verbal, and emotional abuse. He effectively destroyed his children who proceeded to pass that destruction all the way down to me.
If you’ve never watched Ted Lasso which I highly recommend, one of overarching themes is Ted’s difficulty dealing with his father’s suicide, which occured when Ted was 15. It’s a light hearted show overall but there are a few scenes that really hit right in the feels.
Even if you don’t have kids, there are people who’s lives will be permanently altered for the worse by your untimely death. Some will blame themselves, wondering what they could have done to prevent it.
Greed.
