Being the sperm donor isn’t what makes you a father. Spending time with your kid, teaching them how to be a functional human in the modern world over decades is what makes you a father

As a stepdad myself, I can personally attest to that fact. I met my boys when they were little, at only 4 years old and 5 months old. For all intents and purposes, they are my boys.

Their own bio dad is hardly present and only does the bare minimum when it’s his parenting time. It’s hard. Bio dad got remarried (briefly), but my wife and I ended up having to break the news to the boys that their new stepmom and stepbrothers were going away (because bio dad is a piece of shit and screamed at his new wife over the fact that there were mushrooms in his food). I watched my son’s heart get ripped in half; all I could do was hold him as he sobbed into my arms.

I’m honestly not entirely sure. I’ve been eyeballing Valetudo for a few years now, but the price of the supported robots was out of my budget until I happened onto the $20 Wyze from eBay. Took a chance and won big. I’m into it a whopping $65. And a bit of labor to swap the motherboard (mine refused to run ADB at all). But that’s the fun part for me.

So, uh, exactly how “old” is that server? Because, if I understood it correctly, it should be based on 8th gen Intel, which makes this a solid piece of equipment in any homelab (provided you can deal with the noise and power draw).
