That's actually a future project for me. I've got plenty of self hosted things going on, so adding one more just adds to the fun. Unfortunately, a lot of the upgrades to my house were done late 80s/early 90s and things I've done the last five years or so. So there's an ungodly number of incompatible light fixtures in this house. Damn led fixtures that you can't replace the light, halogen sconces, florescent tubes, and my favorite, the asshole fixture that has these fittings that currently hosts two 100000k temperature, bright as fuck, lights that I want to die, but not enough to be the fifth fixture I replace in this house.

They are the ultimate dads of the animal Kingdom.

I'll have you know, I let my bathtub drop for a year before fixing it

I'm sure if they evolved in an environment with electricity, they'd be going from room to room turning off light switches.

...Well if someone else in this damn house would ever turn them off I wouldn't have to now would I?

My step kid literally turned on the kitchen, dining, hallway, and bathroom light after I went to bed and left them on. Cue grumpy ass me turning off lights after my late night pee. The hallway light alone is enough to light up every single one of those rooms for grabbing whatever you need before bed, the switch is five feet from their bedroom and I have a switch in my bedroom for it as well. So of course that couldn't be the only light left on. Rant over

Seven-of-nine (I think), I watched season 1, maybe season 2. I feel like I only watched two or three episodes and the rest of that time is lost to the universe, so I'm not even entirely sure what I watched.

So basically you're saying we should allow trans people to play in whatever sport they want so we can collect more data.

"Have you looked at the gantt chart? Are you on schedule?"

• Project Manager (keeps everything on their personal drive and somehow expects everyone to have access to it)

"The fuck is a gantt chart? I handle piss all day long"

• Me (smelling of piss and not giving a shit about whatever that is)

there's a vital role just in having an advocate for the team present in "management."

As a bench level employee, every time I'm asked how long something will take I have to take time to assess where I'm at, what needs doing, and when people in other departments will be able to get to their portion of the project (answer: fuck if I know), which takes even more time away from the project. Then I have to go back and figure out where I was and what I was doing on the project that I was working on. I'm typically on three or so projects at a time in various stages of complete, with one or two waiting in the wings. When you have a different person every day asking you about a different project than the one you're working on at that exact moment, it seriously slows things down.

Our project managers are salespeople, they over promise our capabilities, mostly because they don't even know what we can do, and disappear the moment a contract is signed. Leaving it up to the employees who actually do the work to meet impossible expectations.

There's been a few good project managers who get involved and check in on things, but there's only been one (out of a dozen+ or so) in my 7 years working here who's actually asked us what we can do and how long things take before taking in contacts. I'm sure they, or at least that kind of approach, will not last very long.

I have had it installed for like 15 years lol

Does never removing it count?

Mine is raspberry pi zero 2w with an external enclosure attached to solar+battery. Wi-Fi is barely consistent enough for speeds around 1/4 what they should be. I'm still working out the kinks, but thanks be to FSM for rsync and snapshots, otherwise my backup scheme would probably never be able to finish.

Agreed, I just spent a week (very intermittently) trying to figure out where all my free space had gone, turns out it was a bunch of abandoned docker volumes taking up. I have 32gb on my laptop, so space is at an absolute premium.

I guess I learned my lesson about trying out docker containers on my laptop just to check them out.

Is my memory failing me and she actually did say "fuck that" and they dubbed it over with "screw that"?

I agree, there's a place for flatpaks and appimages, but for the most part my computer isn't it. If I was setting it up as more of an appliance or as a work computer in a fleet of devices, sure they'd be great. I installed VLC in it's flatpak form on accident once and it was worthless because the entire reason I installed it was to watch either a DVD or Blu-ray, and it didn't have the libraries to read the disc. It took me far longer than I'm willing to admit to figure out it was because flatpak. I'm sure there's a way to work around that, but at that point I was done with any flatpaks for anything that might need additional anything.

They do cut down on needing multiple versions of the same package, so I'll sometimes install the flatpak version to try something out if I'm not sure it's what I want.

It was and forever will be wild to me the effort they went to to make the enterprise so elegant, then the first episodes consisted of Q sitting on a forklift, the "guards" wearing ski outfits and the other costumes seemingly being dug out of a Willow reject costume chest they found out back.

I guess they spent all their costume budget on the gender neutral skirts skants

Edit: because I'm a philistine

I'm doing a 5-4-3-2-1 method. 5 backups. 4 on-site. 3 attached to one machine, 2 of those are on separate external usb drives synced at different intervals. 1 in the shed.

Is life worth living if your windows don't wobble?

2009 was the year of the Linux...laptop

Ah, that makes sense. I thought they were talking about laptop, desktop, kids computer, tablet, etc. and was like ¿...? Linux works next to everything better than anything else.

Anyway, I see what you mean. I got a temperature monitor that needed to be set up using their proprietary software that they only made for Windows, wine didn't work so I actually ended up setting up a tiny win 10 VM so I could set it up. Easier and safer than dual booting with Windows around. Besides that though, I've always been able to find a workaround.

I do similar, except nextcloud and backups beyond just syncing. I fear something corrupting my database and that syncing immediately through all my devices.

Your role models are your own. If you aren't modeling your behavior after your parents, then they aren't your role models, straight up. You may model certain behaviors from them, but not others.

Break it down a smidge. What role are you modeling? If you had a really good teacher in the past, and you use how they taught you to teach someone else, they are the role model for you when teaching someone, but they aren't your role model for something like how to treat your partners.

That's the neat thing about being your own person. You get to be who you want, treat people how you want. Your role models are who you want them to be. I would caution against being an asshole, though. Don't model asshole behavior.
