Funny how my linux install is always compatible and never complains. Performance may suffer if I choose to run it on a potato, but it will still work albeit slowly.

Irish cranberries are also a thing. They were pretty popular in the 90’s.

Salted and boiled cod with boiled potatoes and steamed broccoli. Topped with warm butter. Somehow my kids love it, despite being extremely picky eaters.

My cats are currently nagging while waiting for their turn.

UPDATE: I now have two cats in food coma

I like it. It involves a varied combination of servers, network, robotics, travel, and ships.

I wouldn’t consider myself an audiophile, but I lean more in that direction than the average. I’ve had the pleasure of working in a sound studio, and as such I learned to appreciate the quality that comes with the gear.

In general, professional hardware is miles beyond consumer hardware. And enthusiast hardware is more akin to consumer hardware with extra fluff.

Nah. I live in the middle of nowhere, so it’d just be an annoyance with no benefit.

I haven’t locked my front door or car in years.

The instance admin commented on rules a while back: “Number one rule is to not make us ban you”. And I think that tends to curate a userbase that are able to behave themselves without needing a defined set of rules to live by.

There are quite a few old farts on SJW as well.

There’s something to it, but too often it is interpreted as “no need for introspection or improvement”

IT related to ships and geophysical surveys.

For larger projects, as long as the heavy duty work is out of the way, grabbing a beer or two with the meal is pretty common.

We were mobilizing for a project, and I had a real headscratcher of a problem. Work day was over, and we all headed back to the hotel for the evening. We all met at dinner, and I called it “a night” early as I excused myself after a few beers to head back ip to my room.

Project manager, who knew of the issues I was having with the system said something along the lines of the issues being serious when it caused me to be the first to leave the bar. “Nah, I’m gonna VPN in and try something I just thought of”

Yup, turns out it was abgood idea: Misconfigured soanning tree was the root cause, and the fix took 5 minutes. It was fun rejoining the others and Announce that the system would be ready the next day after some cleanup, and all that was missing was a few beers. The Ballmer Peak is real.

My job is pretty chill, so I only have a todo.txt on my desktop

Servers: it doesn’t have to be built for the purpose. In a pinch, any PC will do.

Chess: Fried liver attack doesn’t work above 700 ELO and is easily countered with a possibility for a smothered mate.

Guitar: Playing 5 minutes every day is better than playing an hour once a week.

Get one of those class room skeletons to shove up there for next time they visit.

42069 was never funny and never will be for those of us aged 16 or older.

None that I can think of, honestly.

Same but 34 exactly, here. At 35 one of my wisdom teeth started acting up, and I didn’t even become any wiser.

I’m sure they have interesting things to say about the covid vaccines.

“It does in fact run Doom”, he said before he snorted a line of his new favorite drug - a dark grey line of Megaflops.

Wear your N95 around the next gen SoCs. We don’t know the effects of inhaling them (yet)
