Nice. Software developer, gamer, occasionally 3d printing, coffee lover.
9? That’s quite a bit of compute lol.
My journey started with 1 server, then 4, then 5 (one functioning as a NAS), then 1 (just the NAS box), then I moved and decided to slim it down to a proper NAS and 1 mini PC/NUC clone. Now I’m up to two because the first was an Intel N105 which just isn’t up for the challenges lol
Fahrenheit. So roughly 4.5C.
The bone chilling part wasn’t due to necessarily being cold, moreso due to the wind, location, and attire that generally isn’t meant for the cold lol.
I use myanonamouse. Had to back then, none of the public trackers were good. Sounds like they might be better now though. MaM is the only private tracker I’m on.
I mean there was no party for his. Also only like 40 people. His soon to be wife convinced him to use the money he’d saved for the wedding on a down payment for a house.
My sister had a wedding at the start of June and it went surprisingly well. The only aspect they skimped on was not hiring a videographer, so I took that role. Despite having a job to do and being nearly rained out of a outdoor wedding, the stars aligned. It went well. I think it was definitely cathartic to me after the first immediate family wedding. My other sister had one in March but that was an elopement and it was miserable. Outdoor ceremony in 40 degree bone chilling weather.
Anything immediate family is pretty much competing for worst ranking, simply because of how much extra effort it is.
Out of 6 siblings, 3 have gotten married. Worst was the first, my brother. I was a groomsman - 1 out of 7, there a were 7 bridesmaids as well. A huge wedding party. Photos took -forever- and happened before the ceremony. It wasn’t too hot, but another groomsman (my other brother) ended up fainting (locked knees). We recovered from that. Later on, about an hour into a hour and a half ceremony (ridiculously long speeches) another faints. We’re all suffering because we’re standing for the entire ceremony.
Then it’s finally over, but like any good wedding they had to sacrifice on one aspect. - they hired catering from a friend of a friend, and the caterer’s crew were a no show (apparently they didn’t check the address when they agreed and when they checked and saw it was a 2 hour drive they just didn’t show up). So we all stepped up to help.
There was other shit too but despite outwardly going well that wedding gave me trauma.
Best would be my close friend’s wedding. Just a ceremony and photos. Indoors as well. Easy.
I switched a while back, but grew frustrated with most of the solutions. Apparently while my music is on Spotify, some of it isn’t in the MusicBrainz database, so automation and tagging/sorting tools just crapped out. The solution of submitting the data just wasn’t work I was willing to put in (the guide on making a submission alone was too much).
Ultimately I did most everything manually and got a workable solution, but without added variety I lost touch with music and stopped listening all together over time.
My employer still has an IT team, and I don’t think it’s going anywhere. We are migrating to “the cloud” but it’s slow and mainly a compliance thing so we can go global and house customer data local to them. They’re looking for a strong sysadmin / database admin role if you’re in the Atlanta area.
Last time I tried to migrate to Podman the first container I tried was incompatible, so was the second, and the third. Turns out at the time Linuxservers.io stuff wasn’t rootless podman compatible. There have since been some improvement according to my most recent Google search just now, so maybe a retry is coming up.
It has Platinum in ProtonDB for now. Definitely appears to be playable on Linux.
While I’ve never directly used them I’ve definitely seen content hosted by them. I’ve also seen CSAM promptly removed by them (I work for a hosting provider and occasionally will forward a report their way). I’ll drop them some mons.
The gameplay looks fine. It looks like a Doom game. But I won’t buy a game with DRM, so I won’t be buying it until that gets removed (at earliest).
I’ll limit this to devices in use.
Whoops! Didn’t notice that typo. I wouldn’t even dream of subjecting my steam deck to the same 900 mods as my PC.
I modded Cyberpunk 2078 and jumped straight to the NNM app, no issues. Running quite a few mods.
In getting mixed vibes. It feels like it’s people with no relationship prospects (for whatever reason, and I can attest to this as one of them) who might tend toward the “2d girls > 3d girls” crowd getting a harsh reminder. That and the music.
This is exactly why I do the dishes after a good meal. I can’t relax with the thought of a sink full of dishes, they need to be handled!
Not me, but my parents, though I discovered it during a visit.
Bats. They had a bat infestation. This was up at the highest point of the house in the loft, they were remodeling and left the walls open - a hole to the outside let one in, and I guess a bunch decided it was a nice place to hang out. There were dozens.
As for dealing with it - bats are endangered, so you can’t exterminate them. If I remember correctly the total spend was just over 10 grand. This also included installing multiple permanent one way doors so if any bats manage to get in again, they have multiple ways to get out.
Is there another meaning to “PSA” that isn’t “public service announcement”? It confuses me being in the title as this entire post is written as a suggestion / CTA, not a PSA.
There are some things I’ve grown to like. I feel better represented by my choice of instance. I could self host my own, but don’t really want to incur that maintenance. I do like that if my instance were to do something I disagree with, I don’t have to leave the community as a whole like I did with Reddit, and should instead find a new home.
I also kind that it’s easier to filter out the personalities that bother me, since they tend to flock to specific instances. I still have to contend with them occasionally, but that’s no different than Reddit, but less often.
Most of my interactions here have been with reasonable people, even when we disagreed. It does feel a little quiet at times, but that’s ok.
This reply is more of a light hearted nitpick and not replying to the substance of your comment but…
To be fair you said anyone, not everyone, but as someone with aphantasia I can’t relate to this. I can’t visualize an apple.
