# PUD myself!
#PUD (power-up day) is an initiative created by the #HIVE community to power up HIVE on the first day of each month. A few months ago, @arcange and his team made something very cool to further support the community, by extending the initiative to badges!

# Stuffed myself on junk!
LOL... I am talking about [this](https://oceanplanet.io/game/?ref=forykw) currently FREE to play #game, where you can mine the ocean for all sorts of stuff. Some are quite valuable, and you can get a great amount of value for it...

This game has been a different beast... games are definitely changing on this blockchain. An upping the game of course, but without its users and their beta testers, I would say, that things would be a lot different.
HIVE has an amazing ecosystem for this kind of symbiosis. Games, change and get development uptakes every new week it passes. Everyone can be apart of this experience, contrary to the real world were mostly just selected "good talking" people get to enjoy those slots.

Free speech and decentralization will be revolutionizing this industry.
# Searched the Internet for solutions...
I recently received my Christmas present... an overclocked RX 6800 XT and after a few days of fun, problems started to appear. I thought it was hardware, but then after so much looking, I got to the point of doubting on it... asked the guys on the store to test against different hardware and then it came up clean.

It was/is something else. And for now, the best take on this is either drivers or a problematic feature I am using on them. One thing for sure, I will get to the bottom of it.

These cards are still young and many more awaits their evolution. Sometimes even resembles me, the way crypto evolves... pay in advance (in this case, was a present, but imagine) and get rewarded later!
# Worked and...
Solved two major issues already harassing me for a week. Super cool stuff, that involves advanced infrastructure troubleshooting, Infiniband (and other networks technologies), parallel filesystems, VMs, OpenStack, several infrastructure orchestrators, lots of monitoring tools, debuggers, dumps, lots of support tickets and performance monitoring collection analysis made by myself in order to short cut to support communication and in attempt to solve things faster than recommended solutions. Shame I can't show you a picture...

it would likely be a book or a many-hours video in order for you to get the full picture. Either way, fun stuff (for me).
# Found out about Bugatti Bolide
Love the car... and finally, this one attracts me. The others, to be honest, they were always a bit of a bummer in the sport aggressive design perspective, in my view. This model rocks... as the performance and all the tech involved. I urge you to google for it if you like performance cars.

# Others News?
I have done more stuff... but mostly this is all I wish to share.

## Do you have COVID-19 infected family?
Anyone that had COVID-19 and (hopefully) survived? I have 3 family members and to be honest, I am not impressed or the other way around. I am just confused.

It does not make any sense to me, the way the virus behaved with all of them. All are alright and healthy (all under 30's), and to be honest I didn't even would say they were sick.

Contagious? I can't understand how much airborne this virus is anymore...

Initially, it was something very "contagious" remember? But seeing my family
witnessing it, makes me get very confused.

**PLEASE, this is not any kind of insight for careless thinking OK? Be cautious and take all the recommended measures possible or available to you. Just because this happens to some, does not mean it should be the norm for everyone. Remember about your dear ones and respect others!**
