clif,

Lately I’ve been partial to Yeats similar quote :

The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.

Host it yourself with Ladder : D

github.com/everywall/ladder

I started hosting this when 12ft wasn’t working for many things. I told a friend and they said “what about 1ft?” Which I hadn’t seen before. Now that other commenters said 1ft is shutting down, I’m glad I went ahead with self hosting Ladder

Also might check out /c/selfhosted for more self hosting info.

clif,

I can’t think of how there could be any but I’m not a lawyer 🤷

You’re just preventing unwanted content from reaching your device.

clif,

You might be amazed at the stupid tasks that I, a salaried developer, have been given.

clif,

Really? I’ll have to look into migrating from AWS. Thanks for the tip!

clif,

I was going to make a remark about the price of dirt, then I remembered buying non-clay soil for the garden. In retrospect, it’s cheaper than dirt.

clif,

Vas team high five.

I just don’t like kids and the spouse has a genetic disease so it’d be 50/50 if the kids had it.

clif,

I’m not arguing with you, just wanted to add my own little info in the most applicable place (and to complain about touch screens :)

My 2017 Honda Civic doesn’t have a touch screen but I did specifically have to get the “lower end” LX model. All the EX models I looked at were touch control.

Paying less money to ensure I don’t get garbage I hate? Don’t threaten me with a good time.

EDIT: I enjoy how I managed to accidentally format the “not arguing” bit in huge font so I’m screaming at you for some reason… Sorry

I’ve been on mint for ages but when I updated my RAID this year it originally wouldn’t recognize it. I eventually got it recognized but it capped the 16TB drives at 999GB for some reason. For fun, I went up the chain to Ubuntu… Same thing

In frustration I went to Grandma’s house with Debian and it worked perfect out of the box. I’d spent hours researching it but the best I found was a potential RAID related bug (lvm, specifically, I think) introduced in Ubuntu that, of course, filtered into Mint. Even fdisk reported the physical drives as 999GB in Mint/Ubuntu.

I still don’t know the exact cause but I got it up and running so I’m a Debian guy now, I guess.

Granted, my use case isn’t super normal since I’m using a BIOS RAID1 (and we all know how fun BIOS RAID can be) with full disk encryption.

Worked out in the end but it made me sad to ditch Mint

clif,

Yep, that’s why I made sure to include that “we all know how fun BIOS RAID is” bit.

It was fine with the previous 2TB RAID1, but that doesn’t mean anything.

clif,

I’m going to go with “banana phone” by Raffi … No one will ever forget it.

clif,

:: laughs in shabby, bearded, cave dwelling developer ::

I’m sure it might help for cold contacts (HR first look?) and things like that, especially without a strong background/CV. But in my limited experience nobody cares if you’re good and good to work with.

I say “limited experience” because I’ve stayed at my last few jobs between 5 and 17 years each. So I’ve not really been switching that often and therefore usually not actively seeking new positions.

clif,

Can confirm. We (in US) have chickens and whenever we gift eggs to people they’re astounded that they don’t need to be refrigerated but also sometimes horrified that they aren’t washed.

Granted, I keep the eggs that get poopy for myself so they don’t get tossed out by an overly cautious person. I just rinse them immediately before use if they’re very dirty. Occasionally one of the hens will have an “accident” and lay an egg in the dirt outside or on the coop floor. Otherwise they look generally like the pic above.

I’ve yet to have a rotten egg and at times we’ve gotten behind by over a month… Still good, sitting on the counter for a month.

Fun info, I’m currently eating through some “water glassed” eggs that I stored in May of 2023. Still good.

clif,

Yeah, at ~8 months these are about 50/50 on whether the yolks hold together. Still taste fine though.

I decided to give it a try since in the spring/summer they were laying way more than we could keep up with … But mostly because I thought it was interesting and wanted to try it :D

clif,

You’ll hear no arguments from me : D

More like curious psychopath, maybe

clif,

You’re missing out. Donkey eggs are very high in vitamin A and D.

clif,

At least Docker is achievable

clif,

Do you guys code with these? I was thinking of building one but the space and shift keys seem… Inconvenient.

I guess both are relevant in non code scenarios too but the shift really stuck out to me. The symbols being in the center, at least as pictured/mapped on one ergomech site I looked at, also seemed inconvenient since I use those a ton (brackets, comma, semi colon, etc) but that’s probably more of a training thing

clif,

I tried to recover my Mojang account and migrate it three times. Each attempt gets a stock response asking for certain info (receipt, email, username). When I provide this, I get a response from a different support user asking for the same thing I just provided. After three to five back and forths (with the same questions and the same answers) I get busy, frustrated, and leave it for a few weeks.

Once I have time, I start over and the exact same thing repeats again.

I wrote it off as a loss last year with an asterisk of “another reason to fucking hate Microsoft”
