cybersandwich,

The Finals works on Linux!

In other news, I got a message saying I was banned from The Finals for playing on Linux.

cybersandwich,

It says 2tb limit for SSDs which is odd? Maybe I am misunderstanding that.

I’m interested in hearing what folks who are interested had planned for this. It seems like it would be an overkill pfsense box. Could be a proxmox host for high IO vms but at rh same time kinda limited in terms of storage.

cybersandwich,

What are you talking about? It’s horrible from a users perspective. I never know where I am saving anything

I only use Windows at work (because I have to). The thing that drives me fucking nuts, as an advanced computer user in general, is how God damned unintuitive the 365 Office,OneDrive, and File explorer integration is.

I have no idea where I am saving stuff half the time(or more accurately have to change it each time because the defaults are dumb). I don’t want it in my OneDrive downloads folder or OneDrive documents folder. I want it in my fucking laptop download folder or local documents folder.

Then Teams is saving stuff in SharePoint in the background, permissions are annoying AF. At least they’ll flag that a recipient of an email attachment or imbedded url doesn’t have access. So that’s nice I guess.

Oh, then sometimes I’m prompted to save a copy of a shared document, but that’s different from “download a copy”. If you save a copy it just makes a new shared copy for everyone in the SharePoint site.

I feel like a boomer when I work with MS now. Maybe it’s all enterprise settings for where I work and maybe it’s not MS’s fault but hot damn I am so much less productive than if I just used Gsuite, only office, on Mac or .

Maybe I just need to spend a week taking training classes on these products. But who tf has time for that when you have your actual job to do. So I guess that really sums up Microsoft for me: it’s in the way and slowing me down.

Is there a forum for people who are lonely and sad but specifically not incel sickos?

like you know you’re a good person at heart but life circumstances and trauma and bullying and etc prevented you from learning the proper social skills to find companionship. not necessarily a forum to actually find friends (i find going into things with that intention feels fake and weird), but rather a forum to commiserate...

cybersandwich,

Calling incle sickos “incel sickos” is 100% okay and acceptable. There is no reason to shy away from calling spades spades.

There is this idea that we need to pussyfoot around calling out hateful groups so what? We don’t offend them?

No, confront it head on. You encourage that type of behavior if you shy away from confronting it.

Don’t be so open minded your brain falls out.

cybersandwich,

My (step?)mother in law is really hard to shop for. I always feel like I have no idea what to get her. She doesn’t want for anything, she’s pretty frugal/non-materialistic, doesn’t really have any hobbies, is kinda boring, etc.

I do my best but always wonder if she’s venting online like you (she isn’t for sure).

If people buy you shitty gifts and say that, give them a better wishlist or clear guidance.

cybersandwich,

I could never get the AIO setup to work well for some reason. It was also a couple versions behind it seemed.

I…uh…know it’s not popular on the fed, but I use the nextcloud snap package and it’s been rock solid. It’s always up -to-date and they have a backup/export feature too.

cybersandwich,

You’re using network_mode: “host” which makes the container use the host’s networking directly. When you use host mode, the port mappings are ignored because the container doesn’t have its own IP address, it’s sharing the host’s IP. Remove or change the network mode to see if that fixes it.

Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them? (gadgettendency.com)

With support ending for Windows 10, the most popular desktop operating system in the world currently, possibly 240 million pcs may be sent to the landfill. This is mostly due to Windows 11’s exorbitant requirements. This will most likely result in many pcs being immediately outdated, and prone to viruses. GNU/Linux may be...

cybersandwich,

Literally just talked to my mother-in-law who was talking about throwing out her laptop because Windows 10 is losing support and she can’t upgrade to Windows 11.

It would probably run linux perfectly.

But I would never put linux on it. I am not doing tech support for my MIL who just admitted to me that she “locked down her machine because she fixed the registry issues windows has and turned on ipv6 on her router” and alluded to changing other settings but she cant understand why her “wifi keeps dropping out” and thinks its because the neighbors installed a ring doorbell.

cybersandwich,

Ive heard this over and over, but it’s bullshit.

I watch half a dozen streamers on twitch. 4 apex legends streamers and 2 developers(all dudes because that seems somewhat relevant). I don’t browse random streams and I don’t click on anything.

Occasionally, I’ll end up watching other streamers if my guys raid someone as they sign off. But never are they raiding “boobi” streams. It’s usually other apex streamers or other devs.

The other day, home page was filled with tits and scantally clad ladies. The recommended feeds were almost all that.

So I’m not clicking on it. I’m not seeking it out. I’m not even hovering over it. But it was pushing that content hard.

Alright, I'm gonna "take one for the team" -- what is with the "downvote-happy" users lately?

Title. “lmao internet points” and all, but what is the point of participating in a community that sees assumptions and other commonly non-harmful commentaries/posts as “bad” this easily? Do folks in here are really that needy of self-validation, even if it means seeking such from something completely insignificant like...

cybersandwich,

It’s the Internet. People who participate in good faith discussions probably aren’t downvoting willy nilly. Everyone else isn’t going to be swayed or give meaningful feedback anyway.

Downvoted get abused a lot where they exist. People dog pile pretty quickly. It seems like an image human characteristic. It’s just a fickle mob. The smaller the community, where members know each other by handle, are usually the best for actual discussions.

cybersandwich,

Wasn’t the rule for one of the more popular Usenet groups: rule 1. Don’t be annoying 2. Don’t be easily annoyed

Tbh, that’s a pretty great foundation for any interactions on the web.

14 hours of battery life. Linux out of the box and even has coreboot if you care about that sort of thing.

cybersandwich, (edited )

Wired has a good review on it:

Where the Lemur Pro really shines is battery life. System76 claims 14 hours, and I managed 11 hours in our battery drain test (looping a 1080p video). In real-world use, I frequently eked out over 13 hours. That’s off the charts better than any other Linux laptop I’ve tested recently.

www.wired.com/review/system-76-lemur-pro-laptop/

If you aren’t interested in MacBooks, this imo is one of the best alternatives–especially if battery life is a high priority.

cybersandwich,

Cobol devs that we had (while we spent insane money to retire their systems) we’re getting 300-500k/year.

I’m sure companies are trying to rip off any young new entrants but 90k seems super low.

I use linux for the same reason I wear fuzzy socks and sweaters

My understanding of the history of fashion is that back in the 1950s America it was expected that you wore a suit/dress at work unless you had a different uniform. There were a bunch of very boring people who thought that we should be wearing office job garb all the time, because they wore suits so much it was their default...

cybersandwich,

I ended up briefing some very senior leadership…in a hoody.

I brief that specific group on a regular basis and it’s usually fairly laid back but this particular meeting a new, very high profile person was attending to get up to speed. Apparently everyone knew but me because they were suited up and all of the ladies were wearing makeup and had their hair all nice. And there I was, the lead brief, in my hoody and jeans and scruffy beard.

After the meeting I realized that it probably worked in my favor. Some sort of psychological “this guy must be really good because he dgaf about dressing to impress”.

Plus I think their is exactly as you said a stereotype that the better you are at your IT stuff the less put together you have to be.

cybersandwich,

My dad passed away two years ago and I wish I had followed through with doing video interviews of him. Asking him questions about life, having him tell the same stories he’d already told 100x. I wish I had those.

I am already starting to do that for my daughter who is only 9 months old.

cybersandwich,

That’s exactly how you should respond. I’ve been on the requester for some of these and if my team gave me that as a response I’d just say “let me know what you find out or when you know more.”

cybersandwich,

How many widgets have we transferred to acme this year?

Simple enough question right?

But then when you look at the data, each region works with acme’s local offices differently. Some transfer using one method, some offices mark the transfer in the system as “other firm”. Oh, and we don’t even get a data feed from the north west region because they still haven’t upgraded their shit so I can request a spreadsheet but it’s in a different format than everything else.

Then inevitably Acme has a different number of widgets that have been transfered. Because if a transfer gets kicked back or cancelled, it’s easier to just create a new transfer rather than go fix an old one because that process is laborious and requires tons of approvals so they just create a new transfer and send it over.

But yea, 20 minutes should be enough time to get you that before your meeting with Acme.

cybersandwich,

Kinda just seems like arguing because you have nothing better to do.

You don’t seem confused at all. You summed it up nicely.

cybersandwich,

A special shout out to the people who do it with Bluetooth speakers on hiking trails.

cybersandwich,

Thats kept me from blogging really. It seems…conceited ?

But I’ve reframed it in my head and blog about things just so I remember them or post recipes so they are easier to find and pull up. My site is like my “scratch notes”. If someone else finds it helpful, cool. Its more for me to have a place where I can go look up things I did with my homelab or send a link to my wife so she can make the beef stew we like.

cybersandwich,

This make me actually spit coffee out. I don’t know why but it caught me off guard and I found it hilarious.
