  • Okay. Your laptop can’t ping or SSH into the server. First, figure out if the problem is one-way. Can the server ping the laptop, or is it just dead in both directions?

    You mentioned all other devices communicate normally—do they all fail to reach the laptop, or is the issue isolated to the laptop and server pair?

    Physically check the server and confirm both IP addresses to ensure you’re not chasing the wrong info. Once you’ve got the correct IPs, ping the laptop from the server’s side. If the server can’t reach it either, you know this isn’t just a laptop-to-server problem.

    Also, did you set up a firewall on the laptop? That’s worth looking into. And yes, it’s annoying, but try the simple stuff: disconnect and reconnect your laptop’s Wi-Fi, reboot it, even run sudo apt update just to rule out anything weird. Start with these basics before moving on to more complicated troubleshooting.














  • That’s actually called a “bug”—not the software error kind, though. In sports broadcasts, we get the classic “score bug,” always been there, usually small and tucked in a corner to keep things low-key. But what you’re seeing here, this whole bottom-of-the-screen takeover, is way more like those old-school news channel bugs from back in the ‘90s or early 2000s. You know, the ones that would stretch across the screen with stock prices, news updates, whatever they wanted to throw at you, right underneath the main action. It’s more intrusive for sure, but not anything wild—it’s actually been around for decades.





  • Motivation isn’t a real thing. Stop leaning on it and waiting for it to show up out of the blue and support you.

    Discipline is what you need. Sucks to hear, sorry for that.

    Trust me on this: you told yourself it’s easy. So do it. It’s easy. If you don’t, these inactions will low key create self hatred. You’ll fall behind before you realize it, be inundated with work, and your subconscious will think back to this moment. All you’ll hear is “Fuck this I hate this this sucks” maybe even “I hate myself”.

    Don’t let it get there.

    It’s easy? Prove it.

    If you get shit done while being true to yourself, self-hate is genuinely difficult.
