  • My office used to be fully remote during the pandemic and changed how our entire company did business. Once commercial real estate started complaining in the newspaper about their values going down, my company did a full 180 and required everyone back 2 days a week. A year went by and no one really wanted to go back in so they INCREASED the days were required in the office to 3 days.

    December 24 is scheduled for a new announcement and most people at my work expect to be told then that the requirement will be brought to 4-5 days per week.

    We went from being promised by senior management that we are remote by design to “hybrid” at 4 mandatory in office days per week. 5 for management.










  • I’ve always had issues with docker, especially when running it on a proxmox vm. I get weird network issues where when docker runs, the whole vm is cut off from network access (but my docker containers have internet). I also have problems with updates. Maybe it’s the whole virtual-ception of it all, a vm running docker running an application.

    So far I’ve been getting by with running containers for every service (or VMs when I needed a gui since command line for certain things is tough.





  • In 2004 one of my computer games came with a couple of Star Trek demos.

    There was Star Trek Armada, a real time strategy where you command a fleet of starships and mine dilithium and protect against waves or borg cubes as you built more units and buildings. Probably the very first real time strategy I had ever played. Spent a good chunk of my summer playing that. It only came with one level (Premonitions) which I played every which way.

    The second demo game was Star Trek Hidden Evil, an isometric puzzle adventure third person game where you played as Ensign Sobok and had to find Captain Picard, who has been trapped by some clan at an excavation site. There were some invisible dudes that would ambush you so you had to fire at them quickly with the phaser.

    Those were my first and happiest memories with Star Trek
