Not the OP but I think hosting on a VPS is valid. "Self-admin" may be a better term, I don't know. You are still "indie" and not bound to any corporate culture.
You are in full control down to the OS but not the hardware so yeah it counts.
I once questioned if hosting on VPS was covered under the term self-hosting and got down voted. It was a legit question, as is your question, but I guess people took it as if I was saying that it isn't self-hosting.
When I was a young parent, there were moments when I would have strong feelings of inadequacy and feeling paralyzed about what I should do and what I should not do. The most calming thought I had at the time was to remind myself that humans have been parenting for thousands and thousands of years and that I would consider myself to have higher than average intelligence and at least average societal training (through observation of others) about how to care for infants.
we found that manual in "the baby book" by william and martha sears. it was really helpful in the first few years. the book promotes the idea of attachment parenting, which i feel is the right approach. but any parent should decide that for themselves. the general rule for parenting advice though is to only apply advice that makes sense to you. don't let anyone pressure you into doing anything you don't agree with.
i think you'll never stop figuring things out as your kids grow. not with the first few anyways. i guess repetition only comes in with the fourth child or so ;-)
Yeah, mine was via a corporate policy. God knows how it decides such things, but it's not a message I've ever seen before, so there could be something wrong with the site that other security software might flag
I'm from Mississippi and know some small farmers but none of the big sweet potato producers. "Mississippi Sweet Potatoes" coming from the "Sweet Potato Capital of the World" has always been a strong branding in my head growing up, just being near the influence of that. It's not hard to get their wholesale but I wanted to have some orders before finding a partner.
Just a few weeks ago I was on a trip through back roads of NC and VA and saw a bunch of historical markers and wondered how to do something with them. And now I know.
My thinking was to stop and get a gps coordinate and then what? How do I get them all across the states? And that is about how far my thinking got before a SQUIRREL ran through my brain.
Glad to see some of my thoughts aren't to far out there. Now just have to work on DOING instead of THINKING.
Good shoutout - We partner with them to pull in HMDB data into the ExploreHere app We link back to them in the app too, at the bottom we show the 'source' of the info we pulled in.
As a former firefighter-paramedic of 14 years which I left in 2020, our LifePak monitors went up to 360J. We did use self adhesive pads and never once did I have any odd smells after "welding" someone. We used stacked sequence, starting out at 200J, 300J and 360J. Our LifePaks did have AED but very few people used that option, so yeah, medics and agencies still require to know how to read traces. To know which rhythms to shock and which ones not to isn't rocket science, nor are there that many. There are only two pulseless rhythms that get shocked. There are also a couple of reason to shock conscious people with rhythms that does require a bit more training and knowing when to give the shock but it isn't all that difficult to learn.
Not sure why the "us kids" comment. How come you aren't boasting about not wearing gloves and PPE? I've heard about "back in the day" how it was a badge of honor to be covered in someone else's blood. That shit ain't cool at all, but it does occasionally happen where blood does get on unprotected skin, it has happened to me.
Did we have to know as much as back in the 70s, 80s and 90s? No, not at all but that is advancement and not necessarily watering it down.
If I have an out-of-hospital emergency I definitely would want street medics and firefighter there for help. I am still shocked how often I've seen doctors and nurses loose their shit because they aren't use to having to think on their own or they don't have a team of 10 or 15 people there to back them up. I've seen it in firefighters and medics as well, just not as often. Most nurses aren't allowed intubate in a well lit hospital room, let alone lying on the asphalt of a highway or floor of someones home.
Hi fm2606, I left ambulances in 1991. Probably was 1986 when we got Lifepack 5 (the first one that came in under $12000 AUD and totally manual, the lifepack 3 was in limited use from I think 1983 but way too expensive to have more than two for my city (1M people), cost was a real barrier). On introduction the only thing we had for conductivity was a gel. After a year or two the gel pads came out. The "us kids" was really a comment about my amazement at after more recently being trained in AED and the darn thing does everything for you. It has a whole lot of technologies that simply weren't available then (recognise rhythms, text to speech, record rhythms to storage etc etc). So much cheaper, lighter, don't need spare batteries, and seeing the huge change that technology has brought. (P.S. We were ignorant in the 80's. No gloves, no hard hats, had to wear ties and a fancy cap. No reflective wear except for bright yellow raincoats that we only wore to stay dry.)

We need to know much more now than ever before, as the number of treatments performed on scene has grown enormously. Not to mention survivability is orders of magnitude better.
> For solo/small teams? Think of yourself as a street cart vendor that sells hamburgers, and is located on the front of mac donalds.
What a great analogy! I always thought of how many lawyer offices there are, from single lawyer to multiple lawyers, but I like your take on it much better.
The problem with this analogy is that in the case of software, you basically have teleportation so you can go to any dry cleaner you want instantaneously.
Except that you often don’t know the alternative. You might suspect it must exist, but finding things on the internet is increasingly difficult.
Same is actually true with the dry cleaners. Maybe there’s one on the back of your block that’s the same distance from your door as the one you go to, but you never walked around to that side before. As far as you know, you are already using the closest one.
Any time I buy software I start by reviewing the top ~5 vendors that are easy to find. So I know the alternatives and just need to decide which one I think will work best for my needs. It's extremely rare that I encounter something novel and incorporate it into my life be it personal/business. Once I use something, I might be more aware of what friction I am encountering and I might review the available solutions again to see if one of them solves it more elegantly. In any case, I compare alternatives that are readily available. Sometimes I ask around or stumble on conversation that surfaces a new product that has a different approach to the same old problems and I feel like "they get me". Those products tend to catch fire.
