It honestly depends on the person asking. There are people who aren’t complete morons where a call is a valid way to quickly solve a problem or exchange info.

But I sent a guy an email asking a simple multiple choice question, he messages “quick call?”, calls, shares his screen, shows me my own email with his written response in reply, and reads it to me.

The Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold is like Horatio Hornblower in space. The main character has dwarfism and accidentally commandeers a mercenary fleet as a teenager.

I agree for the big ones, but we have a local one I’ve subscribed to a few times, for a couple months at a time.

They pull all the ingredients from local farms, do local delivery or pickup at farmer’s markets, and they’re minimal on packaging, and they reuse the bags and ice packs. I haven’t done it in a while but it was pretty nice and it was helpful to break out of the routine of the same meals week in and out.

Everyone else seems to have addressed the cloud part, which I was a little skeptical about too. I understood it is a development aspect, not an end user aspect, so I decided to use it. I’ve been using it as my daily driver for about 6 months and have had no problems.

The atomic part was the biggest hurdle for me, since I wasn’t familiar with rpm-ostree, but I’m getting the hang of it. It’s had the added benefit of keeping me from breaking things through stupid mistakes since I can just roll back my changes.

I did check that, but thank you. The failure was accompanied by a bunch of magic smoke so something’s good and dead.

I dunno if I’m comfortable enough to jump to Proxmox yet, I’m still learning containers. I did read up on both Proxmox and CoreOS before landing on Ubuntu Server for the NUC. I may move to something more complex eventually, but I wanted something I was already relatively familiar with that I could set and forget.

Conan and Craig were my go-tos. It’s not a talk show, but Conan’s podcast is hilarious and he really shines in the longer interview format, both with celebrities and with fans.

I wish I’d thought to look for something like that beforehand.

I just replaced my pi-hole with Adguard Home running on a NUC I got myself for Christmas. Seems to be fine so far.

It’s running on bare metal but I’m tinkering with docker to build a stack of other utilities and will probably move it to docker once I’m more comfortable.

I cannot remember a single thing about the movie except that I recall loving the way in which the story was told but hating the story itself.

This is what I do for Bazzite and Mullvad.

I can’t get it to update through the repo while layered, so I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall using the new rpm each time. I keep saying I’m going to get around to troubleshooting it and then forget about it until the next update.

He forgot the most important variable in that equation, and it’s time. I continually have to remind clients of that. You can throw more people and money at a problem but you can’t get 9 people with uteruses to give birth to a baby in 1 month.

Someone is overestimating how long a modern appliance will last.

I think the story was that he had disappeared from friends and family for a few months prior.

I started with Gaunt’s Ghosts by Dan Abnett. I think I read all of the ones that he wrote in that series, then Eisenhorn, and Horus Heresy.

The Mississippi River

My first job in IT 20-some years ago began swapping their CRTs for LCDs and I got to take home a Dell rebadge of a 19” Trinitron. It did 1600x1200 at 75hz. It had a fantastic picture for gaming. I can’t for the life of me remember what happened to it.

IIRC, he rear-ended the shit out of a small car with his giant pickup truck while well over the speed limit. There were two kids in the back seat.

From Bandit getting that phonecall onwards is all tears.

Haha, glad you figured it out.
