  • I’m actually doing the opposite :)

    I’ve been using vms, lxc containers and docker for years. In the last 3 years or so, I’ve slowly moved to just docker containers. I still have a few vms, of course, but they only run docker :)

    Containers are a breeze to update, there is no dependency hell, no separate vms for each app…

    More recently, I’ve been trying out kubernetes. Mostly to learn and experiment, since I use it at work.






  • My ADHD kids are not aggressive, on the contrary. And each one of them behaves and reacts differently, especially without/after medication.

    I’ll try my best to give some answers.

    1. Lack of focus, getting lost in thoughts, or hyper focusing on the wrong thing at the wrong time - my kids get up at 6:15am to catch the 7:25am to go to school, and somehow that’s still not enough time… Also, taking 4h to do homework that otherwise would take 30m.
    2. Like I mentioned, my kids are not aggressive or hyperactive, they are on the other side of the scale - while my boy has a large group of friends, my middle daughter has none (she is also diagnosed with ASD), and it’s really difficult for her to fit in. My little daughter does have a bit of an extroverted personality, and she really tries to fit in and grab the attention of people, but most kids push back. She fits right in with the adults though, becoming fast friends with our (the adults) group of friends.
    3. Nothing in regards to aggression, but my son and middle daughter go to therapy, my middle daughter also goes to group therapy (for kids with ASD). Also, they all take Ritalin in the morning, and that helped quite a bit, especially at school, but it was not a “fix”, just a helper.
    4. It can be overwhelming at times - mood swings, overreacting to the smallest issue, crying for hours for not finishing the test in time, or forgetting the school account password… We have many talks, trying to reassure them as best as I can.
    5. We did a lot of reading, from online articles to books about ADHD, talking to a couple psychiatrists, but probably the best resource was my wife’s own ADHD diagnosis. She did a lot of research!

    If you have any questions, please ask.
