"This shitty company has been shitty for 20 years, why do we care" is one of the most fanboi, dickriding responses possible. Why are you riding for Nintendo so hard given their shitty anti-consumer practices?

The only way that works in practice is to either have a second admin who gets the order while the first is talking to their boss, or you have a non-technical person with a break glass account that can do it while the admin is in that meeting.

I've had to be the second admin on more than one occasion and it sucks to be the one disabling your coworker/friend when they get fired, but it's part of the job.

Most of this can be achieved in other ways (like a smart plug measuring the current draw

Idk about other people, but this is actually harder than you'd think. I've got zigbee and zwave hubs in my house for my home automation system, but there's really not anything that uses those technologies and has the screwy power plug my washer has. I grabbed some inducement sensors (I think that's what they're called), but I can't use them near my washer since they have to be hooked to the line to have a reference and my washer is too far away from my fuse box.

I haven't had an issue with an unbalanced load since I started using a front loader. Mine washes all our blankets without issue other than the >15# weighted blankets, and that's just me not wanting to risk my washer to not go to the Laundromat.

Did I miss the part where they argue it's a bad thing?

The context is a kid using it to get out of doing shit, so I'd say it's a bad thing based on the reason for using the argument.

Except in this example, it's a kid using the argument to get out of "anything and everything". This isn't a necessarily a nuanced situation, this is using their own logic against them because they think they found a cheat code to not doing what they don't want to do.

Just about any multiplayer game. I generally don't like playing with randos (why would I want to listen to a 12 yo squeal in my ear that they fucked my mother in a pitch only dogs can hear?), and most of my friends don't play games I'm interested in.

Honestly, Black Flag is the only AC game I ever come back to. I enjoyed 1 and 2, and 3 was ok, but BF was the pinnacle of the series (only partially because of the ship combat).

I'd love a game that's just the pirate ship parts, that was easily the best part. Setting up supply lines, capturing ships and sinking hunters. Good times.

I call that my morning constitutional

 

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.
