Count another one for the sysadmin building a homestead in the forest while also building platforms for evil corpos from home.

I also have no intent of ever turning my farm into any kind of income. But it is definitely worth all of the extra work to spend any breaks sitting outside surrounded by animals, trees, water and sky.

Sysadmins hate computers.

My biggest gripe is that if I try to post anything over 15 seconds it errors out every time. 15 seconds is juts not enough time to capture the silliness of the morning feeding time here, but I post anyway.

Ditto. But the rest of the travel we do need to do to interact with people, amenities, and services, is still worse than it should be due to poor inter-city and city-rural transit. At least here in Canada. My time in Europe showed me how bad we really have it. Even with the unavoidable foibles that happen in the best of cases/countries.

And since then - We have found ways to make all travel worse for comfort, more expensive, and more necessary.

#Create a dir and cd into it
mkcd() { mkdir -p "$@" && cd "$@"; }

The growth mindset that is intrinsic in questions and comments like this is counterproductive to the goals of the fediverse in my opinion.

The goal of federated services is not to be the biggest anything in the world. But instead to give places for people who actually care about the quality of The contents they interact with and that it was created by humans.

If that means that this part of the grand scheme of media stays small… So be it.

Hah! Fair jab. In my defense that title was just a blown up way to attempt to keep me onboard without a raise. Being director of IT in a startup with only one IT person is definitely not filled with director-level tasks. That title, and the bullshit that came with it, are a big part of why I left.

Yes! Your deeply intellectual take based on my comparison of chickens shitting and screaming to how IT managers act is surely correct about how I live my life, and how those chickens live.

Fun fact - Our chickens live freely in the forest during the day, and have a nice safe place to sleep at night. We don’t force them to come home, but they know what lives out in the forest and choose to come back to where they are safe and have friends.

Oh and we don’t eat them. But if you wanna call pulling their non-viable eggs out from wherever they left them today violence then I have a few bridges to sell you in manhattan.

My CV looks something like:

• Jr Support agent > Sr Support agent > Lead Support agent
• Tech engineer
• DevOps engineer
• DevOps lead
• Sysadmin > Sr SA > lead SA
• Technical Architect> Solution Architect > Sr Arch > Enterprise Arch
• Director of IT
• Raising chickens

Chickens might shit everywhere, scream constantly, and flap their wings just to get attention, much like managers. But they can’t make you polish that shit into a product to sell. And if one gets out of line you can just eat them.

It would probably be the most point and click on one of the gaming-centric immutable distros. I think nobara is basically a shell for gaming that just happens to have a linux kernel so that might be a good one.

I, myself, am old… And I use standard distros due to ancient muscle memory and shell scripts from the age of dinosaurs. Usually debian based. Right now I’m on PopOS for my daily driver and really digging it.

Lutris is a GUI app with normal point and click interface. So even on a ‘normal’ distro I think it may be like 6 clicks to get the battle.net client installed, and then inside bnet you can install wow or hearthstone (and probably the others, but I can’t vouch directly) just as you did in windows.

Lutris will even give you a nice little bnet icon if you want :)

I have played wow on linux since vanilla. Maybe we can help you? These days you can just open lutris and type battle.net and hit install. honestly it is dead simple and my FPS i better in linux than the same hardware in windows.

[edit]And now I see this was already answered. By bad. Long day today…

Oh, sweet. I have been waiting to try some of that old-timey swill milk my whole life!

I’ve been told violence isn’t the answer

By the very same people asking the question: What are you gonna do about it?

Where ‘it’ is your oppression.

People said the exact same thing about reddit being only good for technology enthusiasts and porn in the early days.

In my experience that is just how it goes on the internet. Nerds, furries, and porn collectors, are the early adopters for most places. The normies follow along years later.

In which way am I complaining? I am explaining why calling a valid solution a bandaid might be construed as belittling their very real knowledge of this process. And how that is a regular pattern in a lot technical fields.

And don’t give me this shit about ‘I’m not the person you were talking to’ This is an open forum not a direct/private message.

You can’t expect people who are knowledgeable about this stuff to just forever accept that someone asks for advice, gets told the solution, and then ignores/belittles the person with knowledge.

This is our daily life experience. We get hired to be experts, and get told by non-experts that our solutions are not tenable every single day. Only for that solution to eventually be accepted when the user in question figures out their idea was not useful and the expert was correct.

We have to put up with it at work, we are not obliged to accept it here.

That the folks in IT have any sway over microsoft or facebook’s ui plans.

NO Karen, I can not make Teams go back to the way it used to be. No matter how many times you ask.
