Oh! That's what my tattoo is from...

As an ex-programmer that is now in the trades I can say my mental health is way better and my back hurts less these days since I'm not sitting in an expensive "ergonomic" chair all day. There are a lot of high paying trades that are far from back breaking work. Personally I got in to finish carpentry building science labs specifically.

There's also the added benefit that I like playing with computers again, when it was my day job I wanted nothing to do with them after work.

I think it was something like reflective LCD and not epaper, that's what allowed it to have a fast refresh rate but still use very little power. I'm still surprised I haven't seen much tech using that type of screen.

I grew up with my dad always doing work in and around the house himself and now as an adult doing the same with my house, so I wasn't completely going in blind. My last programming job was in the office furniture industry and that gave me a leg up having knowledge about casework, tabletops, etc. My brother in law was also a finish carpenter (now a job superintendent, but we work in fairly different areas/companies) and I had helped him with side work over the years.

Like pressing the escape button during the Plymouth boot screen?

I had to double take thinking this must be a local sub. I'm in South Tacoma so I know that area well lol.

As a person that was left with the mortgage after a break up, I wouldn't worry too much. It was scary having to take on the financial responsibility of two people by myself, but I've made it work so far and I've had ample opportunity to get out of it if I so desired.

What's worse is thinking about still being in a relationship where we both were unhappy no matter how much therapy or more intertwined we got with each other. In the period that things were ending, thinking about the finances was scary (It really was eye opining to realize that the thing I was afraid of was financial and not loosing the other person.). In hindsight, still being in that relationship seems much worse.

I did first@last.me and can confirm, it confuses people all too often.

Ok, so you wrote the hass os image to your internal SSD using kubuntu booted from a flash drive. Then when you booted hass os from the SSD you're getting networking errors not being able to download the docker image from ghcr.io.

Can you visit ghcr.io from other devices on your network?

Can you ping ghcr.io from the hass os installation?

If you can't ping ghcr.io can you ping google.com?

If you can't ping either then your network interface might have not been set up correctly and or hass os is missing drivers for you network interface.

Are you connecting over Ethernet or wifi?

From searching for some of the messages in your log, it seems weird that it would be causing a problem but do you have a Netgear router?

It's very possible that movie had an influence on my career decisions lol

I'd volunteer for a one way trip into the void

Fentanyl is used in hospitals as a pain killer... I've never heard of it being used for the stuff you listed. Are you thinking of ketamine?

Gardening and home automation are also on my list of current hobbies lol, nice to meet ya David!

Godspeed

Ok cool. I only ask because i've seen the libraries included in flatpaks being outdated or missing components leading to blender not interacting with my GPU properly.

Do you not have the "quiet" boot parameter set? What messages are you seeing before Plymouth?

In fedora 41 workstation I have a custom grub and Plymouth theme and don't see any text from kernel boot during the boot process unless I hit esc while Plymouth is on screen.

Agreed, would be super useful for me as well.

Are you using the snap or flatpak versions of blender?

Guess the junior dev they had building their systems hadn't figured out regex yet lol
