I can't talk with my colleagues exactly because I'd like to talk about tech 24/7. HN helps.
How about starting a reading group, say a Linux kernel and device driver source code reading group? ;)
I'd join - not joking either! I'm willing to bet that most technically-minded people have devices that act strangely, and yet are powerless to fix them due to, say, the difficulty of getting GDB to connect via the non-existent serial port to capture the stack trace of a once-a-week glitch. I'm in that category with a few of my devices right now, so a group where people could explain device drivers to each other would be really interesting to me.

Seventhed - I've written to HN's email address and received a personal response from Daniel the same day. You could have the greatest, most expensive commercial support contract and it wouldn't get you a Daniel!

#177I used to have friends in uni with whom i could share very nerdy/technical conversations. near graduation we no longer get together sadly. this has taken a toll on me. HN is a place that feels like home, even if I'm usually just lurking around and overhearing conversations. Thanks everyone for sharing!
I think sometimes you have to realize that it's OKAY if you're always the one to keep in touch, and no one else seems to make any effort. As long as they're happy to talk when you call, or they show up at the group event when you badger them enough: that's fine. Some people are just not initiators, and it's either you make the effort, or you lose touch with them. You can't insist on reciprocity.
That's me. I've been my friends' glue to some extent since we moved away from high school. I like to think they appreciate it, as I appreciate when they reach out. Happy New Year all HN!

have you checked on the veracity of this type of contact? last time for me it was a good time with an old one; but continuing would be just nostalgic bazinga... anyway i'm surviving and happy new year [+2 days] nerds!!!!!!!11
> the veracity of this type of contact
you mean, are they really good friends or not? One is always reassessing that, I guess.

#179Happy New Year to all of you as well. 15 years and counting here, can't believe it's been that long already.
2023 has been a pretty wild ride, a lot of our possible futures are riding on some key decisions that will be made in 2024, I hope they will all fall in the way that will lead to a more stable and peaceful world.
