  • In the 2000s and early 2010s, less of your life was lived on a cell phone or smartphone.

    For kids now, it’s 100% of their lives. Post-COVID, the majority of social interaction between peers is through a social media app.

    That means that close to 100% of kids are on their phones during the school day. If you aren’t, you run the risk of social isolation and FOMO.

    Administrators can’t send a kid to detention for using their phone because ALL kids would be in detention every day.

    Here’s one article that examines the problem















  • You don’t need to live on the blue line to have access to O’Hare. It’s quite easy to take a bus east to west to catch the blue line.

    The neighborhoods in Chicago are very diverse (racially/ethnically, socially, socioeconomically) so it really depends on what you’re looking for.

    Do you want a fun lively neighborhood with a lot of night life? Look at Lakeview, River North or Logan Square.

    Do you want a quiet family oriented neighborhood? Look at North Center or Lincoln Square.

    Do you want to be in a more affluent neighborhood? Look at Ravenswood, Andersonville or Lincoln Park.

    These are just a handful of places all on the north side, and they tend to be whiter. If you can give more info about what kind of area you are interested in, I can help more specifically.


  • There are some options for Pis like unraid.

    Honestly though, just pick one problem you have and solve that with docker.

    Beat your head against the wall trying to figure out the virtualization, volume mapping, permissions and networking.

    Then start finding other problems to solve.

    I stood up a homelab for media storage and streaming… and it has now grown to 30-40 applications running in parallel.
