Just a geek, finding my way in the fediverse.

    Management: "Treat it like a junior dev"

    ... So where are we going to get senior devs if we're not training juniors?

  • Welcome to the future! ... Or the past, not sure, but welcome.

  • Nvidia is reportedly bringing official Linux support to GeForce Now soon, not just for Steam Deck

    Jump

  • Good for you Nvidia. I just switched from Nvidia to AMD during that minor price dip. Been wanting to for years but couldn't afford it.

    ... Not going back : D

  • I'm not sure if "abcess" was intentional ("abscess") or a typo ("absence") but either way... it works.

  • It's 25C here currently... So denial, I guess?

  • How much are you willing to inconvenience yourself to save money?

    Jump

  • O! My apologies! I thought you were a farrier FOR centipedes.

    I never considered that you were a centipede that was a farrier... Does that make me racist? Maybe.

  • If you know anyone who works in nursing or similar, you can some times get medical grade staplers (and other semi specialty things) for free when they "expire" and need to be thrown out.

    I've still got two staplers in my medical kit that expired in 2010. I assume it's the sterile rating that is no longer valid since it's a stapler. Haven't needed them yet...

  • Did you inherit the farrier tools? How often do you need to change the shoes on a centipede? I know the shoes are small, but there are a lot of them... Seems expensive depending on how many centipedes you have.

    O, unless you're a centipede farrier by trade and that's how you make money. Seems like a potentially lucrative business since I've never met another centipede farrier.

    (Also, nice work, that's impressive)

  • Do your clothes fit (USA)

  • As a tall thin person, I've always worn "Large" sized shirts (tshirts, button ups, jackets, etc). Over the last two years I noticed that the button up long sleeve shirts that I like have almost exactly the same overall length, sleeve length, and collar. The only obvious difference is that they're much larger around in the stomach area.

    About a year ago I picked up a size L insulated flannel shirt and thought "sleeves/length is perfect, this'll do" and the person with me told me I had a carnival tent in the back that I probably wouldn't have realized until later. So I picked up the M size, sleeves/length were the same, but still a lot of extra fabric around midsection. Picked up a S size... perfect.

    That blew my mind a little bit that the overall length and sleeve length of the Small to Large were almost identical, they just tailored in a lot more fabric to account for big bellies. Makes me think that probably sucks for people who are not tall and wear a Small....

  • Two survivors of Brown University attack escaped other school shootings

  • That sad experiment where 366 people in a room all have the exact same birthday.

    Statisticly unlikely, but definitely possible.

  • Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM

    Jump

  • I'm still running SATA spinny disks for my big-ish data. I can't afford a 16TB SSD...

    I know that's off topic, but HDDs are still a thing too.

  • There exist people who will go through the effort of leaving their home, traveling to a movie theatre, paying for a ticket, and sitting for 2-3 hours for a movie they claim "nobody wants to see"

    Jump

  • This.

    Some of my favorite movies are "bad" movies. I've got a friend who feels the same way and we SMS each other single line movie titles and just know the other will understand.

    A recent SMS was "poultrygeist night of the chicken dead" ... It was fantastic

  • Went to a wedding shower that was nature themed awhile back and the attendance prize was a small jar of local honey with one of these attached. I've never used one so I am curious to give it a try.

  • Biggest rock is best rock.

    I still use this joke any time rocks or size comes up in conversation but it's so old that nobody ever gets it and they just look at me like I had a stroke.

  • I was getting "made up for a joke" vibes while reading that but this line clinched it :

    “Yeah, I got angry at one of the lads and I punched a tree. But the tree fell on top of my supervisor and broke his leg. They don’t make speed like that any more,” he laughed.

    Good read though. Thank you.

  • I don't have a suggestion but commenting so I'll remember to follow. I've just been using the CLI but if there's a nice management system I'm interested.

    Though, I'm curious if a docker one would work... I have docker aliased to podman already
