I tried this for a bit last year, and I never got it to work. I'm sure it was user error, but I'm super glad I got a new kit before shit blew up.

Might have to track down the bad kit I had and give this another try for giggles.

Depending on the family member, working for them might be harsher than one they find on their own.

My first "job" was working for my grandfather doing construction starting at like 14, and that fucker rode me like a rented mule. I loved my grandfather, but I fucking hated the asshole I worked for. Taught me to be grateful for what I don't have to do to get by. And also how to be a petty fuck to shit bosses in a way that kept me on this side of the line, but only just barely.

Of all the times in my life, that was one of them.

I was referring to the fact that hypothetically one lemmy.world admin could essentially make people disappear.

Which is what ICE is for.

Dumbest and most tone deaf take you could possibly have.

An admin banning you from their platform is nothing remotely close to people being snatched off the street and put into Alligator Auschwitz or sent to a foreign prison.

Unlike the people actually being persecuted, you can just go create another account so you don't have to cry about it.

Also, don't take this as me defending the admin, it's a stupid decision. But if this is your response, maybe the admin made an informed decision (one that I don't care to investigate, given the galaxy brain take here).

I don't even get to the point where I ask ask my manager about priorities, I just tell people that my plate is full and they need to go talk to my manager and have them let me know if I'm to work on your problem. I've got enough on my plate that I don't want to waste time figuring out if I care about this task I barely understand at the moment when you can just go to him directly and better explain why you think you need my time.

I've definitely hit that fun point when you're impacted by the curse of competence and are constantly getting asked to assist other teams. I'm just also at the point where I'm actively developing processes to minimize upcoming pain (fuck you CAB forum...) and can't always drop and pivot.

Best part of Teams meetings, I can just throw my headphones on and keep working while people are fucking around not joining the meeting.

Plus, I can still do real work when I have to at least sit on a meeting that doesn't matter to me.

That's why any of those quick calls are always followed up by a message that recaps the meeting/has action items.

Go ahead and discuss that item you don't want in discovery, I'm gonna note it just so I don't forget what the fuck we were talking about

I mean, I have that in my account. But I'm also paranoid about bounced checks and don't see the appeal of getting a nickel a month in exchange for worrying about something suddenly eating my float and causing bounced checks.

The interest rate on the checking account tied to my checking is not great...

Yes, you can still create a local account from the Out of Box Experience with the Pro version when selecting "Domain Join". But my original statement still stands as this feature had to be added back in after many folks complained

[Citation needed]

That never happened to me despite deploying hundreds of PCs in the early stages of the initial OS rollout. Even in nondomain systems, creating the local account was trivial, even if you did have to navigate through dark patterns to make you think you didn't have another option.

Yes you can, but that still didn't happen. If you think there weren't any Nazis left in Germany (or even weren't in government after the fact), I've got some lovely ocean front property in Austria to sell you.

Nazis weren't exterminated, the US government hired quite a few (and that's not counting the ones who went on vacation to Brazil in 1945)

Maybe we should do it right this time.

I've talked about it with my parents they are 70ish and teachers and they both say in the years they worked there weren't as many kids diagnosed with some condition

I can almost guarantee they worked with tons if autistic kids, they just didn't know it.

Why do I say that? Because I've had multiple teachers tell me that my diagnosed AuDHD kid isn't autistic. Clearly, the teachers who only see the kids while masking and yell at them when they act out would know better than a trained professional or the parents who see them when they feel safe and don't have the energy to mask anymore.

Mouna Kea, it's got a larger base to tip hight, it's just mostly under water.

Have they added AI slop to captchas now??

So I had a micro PC that was running one of my core services and it only supports NVMe drives. Unfortunately, this little guy cooked itself and I'm not in a position to replace the drive. The system is still good and is fairly powerful, so I want to be able to reuse it.

I'm thinking I want to set up some kind of netboot appliance on another server to be able to allow me to boot the system without ever having a local disk. One thing I want to is run some docker images (specifically Frigate) but i wont be able to write anything to persistent storage locally. NFS shares are common in my setup.

Is it even possible to make a 'gold image' of a docker host and have it netboot? I expect that memory limitations (16GB) will be my main issue, but I'm just trying to think of how to bring this system back into use. I have two NAS appliances that I can use for backend long term storage (where I keep my docker files and non-database files anyway), so it shouldn't be too difficult to have some kind of easily editable storage solution. I don't want to use USB drives as persistent storage due to lifespan concerns from using them in production environments.
