https://www.hivemq.com/mqtt-essentials/

Needed some refresher/gap filling on that one ... I mean, I feel the site will go down when everyone here hits that link to read this exciting stuff

I really need to get some recreational reading going again, but also have a lot of other stuff to do and have plenty of tech reading stuff to work on!

Lol!

For the sotware folks on here they will probably laugh and call that old hat for them. I am more of a hardware guy, but really have been mostly a systems eng/pm for a very long time so have to catch back up on some topics from time to time so I can keep up with my team during development and and answer customer questions more thoroughly without bugging the rest of the team. So I have my go to sites for certain topics that are great for refresher/high level info. Not exactly exciting reading, especially for someone not into techie stuff.

I read part 1 as well, and realized it was too far up the stack for me to care.

Finally finished it. I disagree with many of his thoughts but still a good read that encouraged me to reflect on why I believe the things I do in terms of social justice.

Yesterday I impulsively (thanks brain injury! ) bought Mary Trump’s book Too Much and Never Enough. This is the kind of reading about Trump I’ve been looking for: someone who has mental health qualifications, knows a lot about Trump and is willing to write about it. So far it hasn’t disappointed.

That does sound like it would be an interesting book. Do you feel it is all fact so far or do you think maybe some of it has been embellished?

I’m about 30 pages in and everything feels honest. So far she has been incredibly frank about negative family stuff and my own knowledge about trauma says the pieces fit together.

...Although I will say it’s confusing how she was able to get a PhD in Clinical Psychology with previous education in English Lit. Maybe it’s my lack of knowledge about the US system.
