I work in an office as a network administrator. Largely my day to day is a meeting every morning to go over what everyone is doing for the day, then looking through and responding to all the alerts that came up from all the servers I manage(things like failing backups, unexpected reboots, stopped services, strange login behavior, etc)

Then, if I still have time in the day, I put time towards some of the long term projects I have which largely consists of finding things that can be automated and scripting up solutions to that

I tend to just take the defaults when I’m deploying. I wouldn’t get any benefit of having home or tmp on a separate partition, but it’s nice that it’s an option.

This is the short of it. Tate explains in no uncertain terms that society is to blame for the insecurities they feel, and provides an easy answer on how to fix it that kind of works, because it emulates self-confidence.

This is probably the best choice. There is basically no failure state, so there is no impetus to act under pressure, which is probably the biggest demotivator if someone is at that stage of learning how to play video games.

Minecraft is pretty mechanically complex if you’re at the “need to learn how to move in a video game” stage

I pre-ordered this game because I loved Psychonauts and this game was marketed as a sort of heavy metal themed Zelda game.

I then learned about 2 hours in that its also an RTS, which is a genre I never got along with and set it down never to be played again. Thankfully, when you’re a patient gamer, you can’t be lied to by advertising.

What, like ET for the Atari? The game that was so bad, it very likely caused the video game crash in North America?

There was slop in the old days too, just like there are good ideas now.

Time to restore a whole machine backup to a VM with no network connectivity, and manually pull the command?

on my last thread somebody wrote that unspoken expectations are premeditated resentments

How do I stop having expectations?

This is almost certainly not what they meant. You can’t expect someone to read your mind and solve problems you might have.

If management is not meeting your expectations, then the answer is to have a conversation with them about it(ie: make them spoken expectations), not to remove them altogether.

It’s not fear of the freedom, it’s choice paralysis. People want to go to one website, sign up for one account and then be part of a network with absolutely zero research beforehand. I like the fediverse, but the barrier to entry is higher than that because it first requires you to understand the technology at a base level.

Internet services getting shitty and then dying is nothing new. Look at MySpace, Digg, or any BBS. people just abandon the old one and join the new popular one. They’ll leave when it gets shitty enough and join the new thing

That whole album is full of bangers.

From the somber Father of Death, to the jazzy sounds of The Hounds, to the very 80s rock of Breaking out and Light up the Night. Every track on that album is good.

It’s far more polished than the noisy, almost punk vibe the first album has.

Ah, The 4th directive.

Man’s unlocked the secret code to infinite money.

If I pay for everything with a debit card it doesn’t count as real money because it’s just a number on a screen and therefore doesn’t exist.

It depends on what you think the purpose of keeping creative works outside of the public domain is. Generally, the idea is so that the original creator can make a living off of their art without someone immediately copying their work and undercutting them. The idea of keeping a character true to the original interpretation is not usually considered in this discussion.

Personally, I believe that IP should enter the public domain way sooner than it actually does. I’m generally in favor the original definition of 14 years, with a 14 year extension before the work enters public domain. That gives someone 28 years to make a living off of a character before the ideas become free game for others to use and adapt in any way they see fit.

Having Spongebob as IP keeps him on rails for who he is as a character. Change that, Spongebob as a character is changed by the public that could make the original unrecognizable

I fundamentally disagree with this premise. The vast majority of characters that are in the public domain are not significantly different from their source work, outside of a handful of modern exceptions. Dracula is still mostly Dracula, even in the modern day. Same for Sherlock Holmes, or anyone in a Shakespeare play. The idea of completely twisting a character once they enter the public domain happens, like with Blood and Honey, or that Popeye horror movie coming out, but I think you’d struggle to find anyone that only knows Winnie the Pooh or Popeye from their modern, cheesy slasher adaptations rather than the original stories.

It depends what you want to see from the US. The US is massive and there is a huge difference in visiting NYC vs visiting Omaha.

It also depends where you are. For example if you’re in the EU then visiting places like Paris or Amsterdam are probably out as they are accessible as a day trip.

We use ITGlue because it lets us tie password records to documentation which makes finding things very streamlined.

Personally, I use Bitwarden

Just bin some more already completed projects for another tax break. I’m sure it’ll happen

you need a good scanline filter if you want modern pixels to look like classic ones
