No one particularly interesting. I dig linux, politics (to a point), BBQ'ing, TTRPGs and poker.

  • I toyed with marking this NSFW

  • This was gyros, so completely different recipe; I would do a pineapple for al pastor though

    Finally got to try out my gyro/al pastor setup tonight

    I got a new Weber 26" mastertouch to replace my busted 18" kettle; paired with a Vortex coal-thing and an al pastor spit I rocked chicken gyros tonight.

    Before cooking:

    The setup:

    The result:

  • Dig a pit, build a fire there, then once it gets going you cover it with dirt and place your plates in the dirt. Wait about 4 hours and then use a rake to find them. Nice and toasty.

  • nmh is the way

  • I watched Turbo Kid based off of this. It sucks. There's no real acting, no one is afraid of raiders on bikes, etc. No one in this movie provides a believable threat; even the main villian (not Michael Ironside, it's Skeletron or whatever) looks like a wish.com version of Walton Goggins in a shitty mask. There is no comparison between this and Mad Max.

  • If the NSA really does have such formal and strict rules

    Are you serious? Such formal and strict rules that you can't talk about your genitals in a work-provided medium without fear of retribution? You're gonna be shocked when it's revealed they had to wear business casual and had to comb their hair as well.

    I work in a very left leaning org and if I mentioned something as mundane as having pubic hair in our chat I'd be fired immediately.

    What about a chat where a group of men discuss the pros/cons of a vasectomy?

    Lol, yeah that would absolutely not be something I talked about with coworkers at work. Ever.

    It’s obvious that at the NSA, this kind of discussion was just acceptable.

    Why is it obvious? Why would the NSA of all places have literally the most liberal code of conduct of any office in the history of civilization? There is no office environment on the planet where talking about your genitals, your "penetration enthusiasm" or the intensity of ass-hair laser sessions will be acceptable.

    Am...am I taking the bait or something? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, and that maybe I'm just feeding a troll?

  • Lol, right; the NSA set up a chat for people to talk about sex. That's what they meant - not "Let's have a chat for people to ask about how to address their trans coworkers, other questions of etiquette, and generally make a spot that is welcoming and supportive". They, the NSA, wanted their workers to have a safe space to talk about sex.

    I don't talk about fucking my partner with my colleagues over work-provided (let alone government-provided) chat channels; it's not a question of the number of partners or what gender those partners might be, but the fact that if you talk about having sex at work you're probably going to have repercussions.

    Just to address a few pieces of your response:

    1. "Again, are they firing everyone who ever texted about a weekend hookup?"

    I don't know, are they not? The article you linked doesn't include a lot of quotes. Is there a difference in the language used between the two?

    1. "Please. People talk about their sex lives all the time, even at work."

    Sure they do, but they don't type it into chat on a server they don't control. That would possibly be the dumbest thing I can imagine someone doing. Fantastic amounts of dumb.

    1. "..you are completely willing to accept their framing that certain sexualities are inherently deviant and shameful."

    Not anymore than my own - I'm not trying to preach about anybody's morality, I'm probably more "deviant" than most in those chats, but I sure as fuck don't talk about it at work; if I did I wouldn't be putting it in the record.

    1. "On cis het guy brags to another about the time they hooked up with two chicks in one weekend? That’s just a player. A queer person has multiple partners and chooses a poor word to describe it? Suddenly it’s worth firing every trans person in the agency."

    Who said they were queer? Straight people can have gangbangs. Maybe an ally who had a fantastic weekend brought everyone down. Still a stupid thing to type in.

    If you don't think there are limits to what can be talked about in the workplace, regardless of the medium, well I don't know what to tell you. I don't know anyone in meatspace that would be surprised when someone who talked about sex in a public sector job got fired. In the end the current admin were going to do it anyways, but they got a solid reason gift-wrapped because folks were being dumb about a work chat.

  • I hate the current administration as much as the next guy, but I would absolutely expect my workplace to fire me if I was using a work chat to talk about weekend gangbangs.

  • I'd like to see separate fabrics for prod/dev. We have a few switches that are platform specific though that would be really nice to have integrated into the general prod environment. As those platforms are absorbed into our main platform that environment needs to be repurposed anyways and it would be nice to just do it logically without having to recable everything when something needs to be changed.

    Unified Fibre Channel fabric

    What are industry best practices for this stuff? Do you want a separate fabric for dev and prod? Just separate zones?

    My company doesn't connect any fabrics (1 switch=1fabric) and it seems inefficient and a giant pain in the ass, as we move hosts around like we're getting paid for it. What do all of you do?

  • "an" ent

  • Honestly creating playlists is probably the biggest weakpoint of my setup. I generally like to listen to full albums though, and am too lazy to curate my music by anything more extensive than albums.

  • Dark Fate was awesome, "The Return of Sarah Connor" and all that; I like that they're talking about divergent timelines leading to the same destination - humanity destroying itself through tech. I'll admit that Salvation wasn't great, but if you give me a choice between no Terminators in a movie and Terminators in a movie I'll take the first almost every time.

    I just want to see Terminator vs Predator.

  • Dammit Biz, we've been over this. You might be my wife's brother, but I'm not giving you my briskets.

  • The Grateful Dead, Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains, HIM, Devin Townsend, Gordon Lightfoot, Type O Negative

  • The nitrile ones can be found at most hardware stores. If you have a nitrile sensitivity, which most people don't, you'll probably have to wait for the silicone ones.
    If your piercings are fresh you would want silicone; if that's not an option you could try using teflon tape on the outsides of the piercing channel maybe, or throwing some between the nitrile and the piercing fistula until they get to you (I'm just spitballing here, I can't really imagine how that would work easily, but I've never tried. Teflon tape is pretty gentle on new/stretched piercings though).

  • Unless you're sensitive to nitrile you should be able to, but the best ones are silicone (the clear ones). Source: worked in a body art studio for about a decade

  • I like all the Terminator movies. All of them. Time travel, killer robots, Arnold; I know it's wrong but I can't help myself.

    Is the RHCSA worth it?

    See title; I'm considering it, but the courses bundles are expensive

    Drumsticks

    I hate the prep work for these but it always ends up being worth it.

    YSK: Sometimes fostering just doesn't work out.

    I've been fostering a family member for a month or so, and it all came to a head today. My wife and I tried, but the behavior was just too much for us to feel safe with our existing children. I hate that we're giving up and I hate the circumstances that caused this, but it is what it is. If you're in the same place please don't beat yourself up; sometimes you can want something really bad and it still not be right for you.

    Nice Sunday

    I've got 4 10-ish lb pork butts in the smoker for a party on the 4th and I'm about to fire up the grill for some ribeyes; we have two briskets in the fridge I'm gonna start on Tuesday morning, so I'm getting my mileage outta Weber this week!

    FOS emulation

    I started a new job as a systems engineer not too long ago and am looking for a way to get comfortable with FOS as I've never had to manage FC switches before. Anyone know of a way to emulate it, or should I just resign myself to buying an old switch on ebay and throwing it in the rack?

    Moving off of heavy hardware

    So I'm going to be getting a new housemate soon, and they will most likely take the room that's housing my dell r420 and rack. It's currently running proxmox and hosting a jellyfin instance that I and a few friends/family members are using.

    I'd like to move the server to another area, but cooling and noise requirements are making this an issue. I was thinking about clustering a bunch or raspberry pi's that I have sitting around to try and come up with something like a replacement, but I can't get my head around moving my storage off local disk to a san that won't have a fibrechannel connection to my compute. Should I be looking at other SBC types, or should I just invest in renovating to build a new suitable spot for my hardware? What would you do?

    EDIT: I'm hosting more than jellyfin, but this is the app I'm worried about - everything else can make do with a slower storage-compute connection.
