It’s just Shatner, isn’t it? Except even he doesn’t really speak it even though he was in a movie that was entirely Esperanto.

MSPs are about to get a shit load of work for the next week just to get more boots on the ground.

Yep. I have one registered for professional email. I don’t host anything else.

Modems in general were either entirely PnP or a total goddamn nightmare in my experience. There was no in between. I remember setting up Slackware in the late 90s and my serial modem just worked. Even after I changed it, it worked. Even after I installed an internal modem, it worked. A few years later I set up Debian or one of its kids (probably knoppix, but I won’t testify to it) and couldn’t get a modem to work to save my life. It was so bad that I just didn’t use any Linux until I got DSL.

Edit: a couple of letters

NDISWrapper used to be the worst.

Came here to say this. I’ve worked on systems for a restaurant on the beach and it was corroded as hell. We had the wireless access points in cheap “weatherproof” boxes and they got corroded. We replaced them once a year or so because it was so bad.

I started my Gentoo compile in 2008. It should be ready by next October.

The only legitimate child of notorious poet philanderer Lord Byron. I love her whole story.

Bazzite is pretty good, as are Nobara and ChimeraOS. I’ve got HoloISO (SteamOS reimplementation) running and it’s pretty ok. It does what I need but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it due to the Bluetooth issues I’ve had and the on again/off again support.

Funny enough, instead of fixing the Bluetooth issues I just wrote a script a week or two ago that runs on startup. It removes btusb and btintel then reloads them. I hate janky fixes like that but I don’t have the time or energy to tinker with operating systems anymore.

Are there still places you can buy those that you wouldn’t be on camera and immediately trackable?

I’m not shitting on the idea, I’m just trying to make it as good as possible.

All Kubernetes usually leads to huge SRE costs for a tiny app

Hush, I’m working as an SRE and don’t want anyone to figure this out.

I heard the same story when I was a kid, but it was about a boilermaker. The rest was for knowing where to tap his hammer to fix their problem.

It’s an obviously apocryphal story with two great messages. First, don’t undervalue your expertise just because the fix was easy (I still have a problem with that). Second, if you don’t know what you’re doing don’t question the expert just because it looked easy.

She’s now qualified to do 90% of my job. Unfortunately the other 10% is explaining why it works.

I thought no one wanted to make neckbeard jokes because it would summon one to “ummm ackshully” all of us.

If you don’t want it to get personal then don’t fight common Lemmy hyperbole with what is known to be a talking point of the “everything that I don’t like is communism” dude bros.

Hell , I agree with everything you said. I like what you said. Seeing someone with my exact views that comes from a place where it happens warms the cockles of my heart. Maybe in the sub cockles. Maybe in the liver, maybe in the kidneys. Maybe even in the colon, I don’t know.

Maybe I’m a little sensitive because I live in a place where what you said is the lie we’re told every day. I watch the kind of people who say it and wonder when they’re going back to jail for meth or stealing a car. I go back to my hometown and watch the people there say that through their single tooth and really believe it. They can’t get better mouth bone care because they can’t afford it, but they’re sure robber barons will fix it.

So if I came off as an ass, I apologize. I deal with those people every fucking day of my life and have for over 4 decades.

That’s a pretty hot take saying that on the internet considering the Internet got its start as a government program. Hell, a lot of the fiber in the US was done through corporate welfare programs. A lot of rural places wouldn’t even have Internet if it weren’t for our taxes going to the common good (like socialism!). Let’s not forget all the things that came out of NASA and government funded universities.

He’ll, I like a bit of capitalism. A well regulated market that promotes competition can be fantastic. But to say almost everything came from capitalism is either ignorant, willfully stupid, or so full of propaganda that you can’t possibly be a functional adult.
