    Don't forget the two other major things Elon touted about the Cybertruck, it's resistance to firearms and amphibious capabilities, both of which were much less than promised.

    I guess "Personnel Department" was not catchy enough.

    I usually use Pop! OS and Debian and NetBSD(I know, not Linux), but from time to time I've used Raspbian, Parrotsec, Alpine and Kali for various dedicated purposes.

    I phrase it to curious coworkers and other sysadmins pondering the same things with a fun question: what's the "Active Directory in the Cloud" service for Microsoft called? Azure AD? Entra? Microsoft Graph? Bits of all of them? What will be called in 6 months if marketing gets tired of the name again?

    But maybe I just avoided the annoying problem where you constantly get email intended for someone with your same name.

    I merely used the 8 character username I had since university in the 90s, and I get tons of random mail like this. I get some woman's Mazda vehicle service video reports, someone's wedding venue inquiries, tons of stuff from casinos for someone who lives in Vegas, and dental appointment reminders for someone in Alaska.

    Sometimes I get flight itineraries. It's wild sometimes, if it wasn't so annoying.

    How did you find the first list to go through and select the three you did inquire to? Or did you just quack "psychotherapist [locality]"?

    I was suggested to search thru another service for English speaking therapists where I live, which was quite helpful. I picked the 3 of the 4 that were within reasonable distance to me.

    Are you looking for a specific kind of therapy or a specific therapist (I mean is the method or person most important?)

    I am looking for a LGBTQ friendly therapist to help me deal with the fact that I am a deeply closeted gay guy in straight marriage. Kind of a midlife crisis type of deal, I guess.

    I had tried betterhelp, but the therapist there was not always reliable and canceled or no-showed here and there (he was a great guy, though).

    Yeah, I'm excited too, almost impatient to talk with someone.
