The biggest problem is that I have a list of hundreds of smaller problems and that list keeps growing. I have them all in a text document, and it is so overwhelming I have no idea what the fuck to do about it anymore at this point, so I keep piping it into an AI and have it tell me what to do (its suggestions are shit but it's better than nothing), but the list is so long that even the AI is getting overwhelmed by it and if it gets much longer it's going to run out of context, and its costing me like $30/mo in API usage now which is another problem I need to add to the list.

Ive been coming to terms with the fact that I am trans and I want to transition but I fear that I will be ostracized by my coworkers. I'm not in a very progressive industry (forklift operator). I'd like to obtain a job as a tattoo artist but idek where to start. I'm a regular artist but I've never done any tattoo work. Made plenty of designs for tattoos but not anything directly on the skin.
I almost went the tattoo route when I was younger. I got a lot of information just by going into tattoo shops with my sketchbook and asking if anyone was looking for apprentices.
Thanks for the info, I'll have to try that out. I've been needing to give my portfolio an update for a while now.
Big problem: I've spent too much time trying to install Seafile in my environment.
Prevent it from getting worse: Maybe just use Filebrowser?

Existential dread in a cubicle before 30. Just gotta learn to thrive in boredom or find another job.
