At least he isn’t making some exaggerated face of extreme surprise. That puts him ahead of most YouTubers.

Fantastic choices. Outer Wilds for me.

Just write a script that runs periodically to check the log’s size and delete when its near the crash threahold.

Exactly. As far as Linux has come in terms of ease of desktop use and hardware compatibility, there is still a barrier in knowing how to know which flavor is right for you and, almost more importantly, why that flavor is right.

The kernel is too old for newer AMD gpu drivers to work, but switching to a newer kernel isn’t too hard. I had to when I built a new computer last winter, but I have also used various *nixes for a good long time.

Knowing how to discover you need a newer kernel is a bit tough for recent convert, though.

Note to anyone heeding this advice: it has to be a metal water pipe, no plastic.

Yes, but HL2 does not.

Drives do this on their own.

Ah, the Harrison Bergeron school of parenting.

Your glove caught fire because you put it in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes, when leather will readily burn at 210 degrees. I don’t know how other people are pulling it off, as googling around pulls up the same instructions you apparently followed.

I never believed them, because I feared it would catch fire.

Seems like you knew better, which must make this more frustrating. Nothing stings quite like a self-inflicted wound.

As for the Easter stuff, that’s really all about your personal situation and your belief system.

I’ve got a BeeLink N100 system that’s just a bit bigger than a NUC, has two 2.5Gb LAN ports and came with a 512gb nvme drive. Works a treat as a Jellyfin server with TONS of processor and ram headroom. N100 is a great little chip, so long as you’re not expecting i5+ power.

I agree. This should be called a honey sauce at best.

You can use it as a firewall/router or a VPN gateway and even slap a wireless NIC or two on there and make it a combo router/AP, which can simultaneously play and transcode video as a Plex/Jellyfin server with zero hit to networking performance.

Be the change you want to see. I switched things up and took a job where I work to feed hungry people. It’s pretty great and I feel good about myself and what I do. I’m not gonna fix the whole world, but I am making a difference for those who I reach.

Food bank worker here: though we have no such deal, money with no restrictions on use is just about the best thing to donate. It lets us buy fresh staples that otherwise are hard to come by, like eggs, butter and milk, or seasonally appropriate things like turkeys or hams (we had a total of 3 turkeys donated before Thanksgiving so we purchased around 50).

Next best thing to donate is whole cases of shelf stable foods. Individual cans and boxes must be inspected for best by date, damage to the packaging and complete labels, which becomes time intensive when you have 15 55 gallon barrels full of cans from food drives. Whole cases give you 12 packages of the same thing, all good to go from the factory.

Time is also great, but usually more needed the rest of the year. We don’t let people volunteer at our outreach center during the holidays if they don’t volunteer year round, simply because the people who only show up on the holidays tend to be doing a sort of poverty tourism that we find a little distasteful. Also, fresh volunteers need training and things are simply too crazy around the holidays to deal with it. If anyone is interested in food bank work, please find somewhere to volunteer the rest of the year. Feeding people is extremely satisfying work and we do need help the other 11 months of the year.

I played Outer Wilds immediately after I played Disco Elysium. Both would be incredible to experience fresh again.

Wifi is not for critical services, get that thing wired.

You can take it from my cold, slippery hands.

I worked with a Scott that was awful. He was on-call one weekend but didn’t feel like actually leaving the house when there was an emergency, so he called a new hire that was junior to him who he was not in a management position over and told him to go on-site. I was in a management position over the both of them, so when I learned he did it I made sure Scott took over four of the new hire’s on-call weekends once he was in the rotation. Fuck you Scott, don’t take advantage of new hires.

Scott later had a bit of very important of project work. He was a senior IT dude and the project called for senior-level knowledge. The motherfucker took the time that he was supposed to do the project work that I worked hard to carve out for him and just fucked off. Didn’t matter that I had coordinated a downtime window with multiple vendors, the client and the client’s clients, he just did not do the work. When asked why he didn’t he simply said “Oh, I’ll get to it.” I sent him the email chain where he had acknowledged the downtime window and asked how he would do that. He never got back to me, as he had been called into a meeting where he got fired for OTHER SHIT. Fuck you Scott, I’m the reason your unemployment insurance claim was rejected. The other managers didn’t want to fight it but when I brought up the on-call shenanigans they all got on board with giving you the finger.

Half your age, plus seven. If you’re 25 that’s 12.5+7=19.5. You’re good to go.
