For me, that’s a no.

It took me far too long to cancel my account last time. I specifically am never going back because it was such a maze to actually get canceled.

They’ll never notice I’ve left as I’m just one guy, but I’m kinda done with all their stuff now that I’m out of the garden.

emails

Please recuse yourself from this case, Judge.

Had one.

• it’s okay to be apprehensive
• use a reputable clinic - Dr Nick will give you PTSD
• it’s gonna cost a bit. Ensure you have insurance or a healthy bank situation. It’s like us$2k here all-in but we can get it back from taxes.
• it’s a long process and there is weird stuff going on. Listen to the practiced pros and warn them you’re a noob. They’ll understand and ideally warn you which ooky thing is happening next so at least it’s not a surprise.
• sometimes the temporary cap pops out if you have one while waiting for the permanent one. As long as you can bring it in to the office, they’ll glue it back in in 2 minutes. You want them to glue it back in.

After a period of time you will be totally unaware of it as anything other than a tooth. It’s not expected to fall out, split, or receive coded messages.

Breathe.

it’s look

Agreed: it is look.

I like the little one. I’d buy it if I had a need for one, but everything is within 2 blocks of my house, including a subway station.

Did you have a day in mind? Does it cater to only one country? Is there something to learn from that ?

I’m glad in my 30 years of work I’ve never even caught a whiff of this nonsense. I’d undoubtedly heckle someone who proposed it to the point where I’d be fired. And I’d do it again.

Breathe, son.

What is a bash script?

At this point in time, I need to stop you.

There’s a massively-increased risk of you being misled by someone else’s agenda without knowing it’s not the simplest and most effective solution to your problem because there’s a lot of technical stuff you may not know and can’t pick from available options based on their nuances. So:

1. find a real person you trust who knows this
2. ask them

Whatever they tell you, they’ll be able to support. Ensure you’re the one typing so you learn things, and ask every question you think of all the time.

Stop asking random strangers which solution is best, because you’re going to get a lot of short-sighted clique answers that DO NOT HELP YOU.

I’m going to mention Ansible

Oh for the love of god, don’t. Ansible is 2002 technology used in 2024. It’s so clunky and janky that I’m relieved I can get chatgpt to boilerplate my stuff and save me time actually staring at fucking YAML all day. Use Anything Else before your brain rots.

source: it’s like half my day job now and I should’ve charged more.

replicable.

As someone who spent time in OS Build/Relmgmt before security, I have a pressing desire to play the “how do you know” game, here.

The only thing is that I would want the way I’ve configured Gnome, Joplin, Thunderbird, Gnome Calendar (only for the widget), my Gnome extensions, what program is automatically opened on what workspace, etc to be saved so that it could be reproduced on another computer easily.

These sound like user settings that don’t even exist outside ~/ . Rsync is your friend. So is git, gluster, syncthing, resilio, and a good bunch of others depending on how often you want synch to occur and how much time you have to spend.

you need to fix the UUID

Don’t use UUIDs. They serve a very specific purpose, which you’re now trying to defeat (for all the right reasons).

Fix your mounts and then carry on.

With an achilles injury and a great apartment, I’m only leaving for shopping and various appointments. Why the hell else would I go out in this mess? :-D

I got hit in college with a virus 30 years ago; a couple dozen of us, but they couldn’t figure out the common carrier that got us all. Anyway, the damage to the vestibular system was permanent and it was a month or two before I could cope.

The brain has a vestibulo-ocular reflex that picks up when the vestibular is out. It uses the eyes and the horizon as a backup/correction to the bad data from the vestibular. Can confirm it works really well.

… except when I’m really tired, like today. Bedspins while sober, and if I look up then I’m dizzy. It’s super-great. But it works to remind me I’m over-doing it, and it usually resolves after a few days of good rest. until then, I just have to be careful lest I walk a bit like a bat-spin player.

In short, ya get used to it.

Never common enough. We can always use one more.

those spam/scam emails[sic] with intentional misspellings

… like ‘emails’? Do your ‘emails’ have ‘datas’ in them?

It’s like how the panhandlers started blocking my way and requiring a toll payment to get to the subway.

Just like that.

It’s like my donation became a subscription.

I keep hoping someone will come up with a half-measure that looks like ipv4 with an extra octet and writable in hex.

• Let people stew a bit on their 00c0a8011f IP which is like a 192.168.1.31 IP.
• increment the big number. Oh shit, we’ve got lots.
• repeat
• start adding the cool parts of ipv6
• moar
• add a 00 to the end that old shit just skips
• somewhere in there, switch the engine

We can either take yeeeears to do it well, or we can take more decades to try and big-bang it. This ain’t 1983.

I’m told that the time it takes a polar bear to discover, stalk, hunt, kill and partially devour you is on the order of 10 minutes.

Most people do not survive a polar bear passing them in the bush.
