I’ve tried, but eventually I pass out from withdrawals and end up using again while in out. Sleeping me refuses to kick the habit, so here we are.

We stopped doing drugs during self care?

I took would like to know as well.

Lmao, you’ve never heard of Lennybot.

Scammers are stupider than you could ever imagine.

It’s easy to blame the user when they don’t bother to read the manual or follow basic instructions.

Yeah, we’ve gone from ‘charlie but me’ to ‘charlie pretends he’s not a Nazi on a clip from fox news’

Don’t forget the commodification of all the 3rd places so now there’s no real place for people to interact without having to spend money

Do. Not. Go.

As much as your son wants you to go, as others have said, you’d be giving him some very messed up ideas on how relationships work, and there are waaaasay too many chances of something happening and causing unforeseen problems.

I would explain that you’d like to go to spend time with him, but you’re not in a place where that is a healthy decision to make and for the sake of your mental health and continued healthy relationships all around it’s best for you not to join. It will hurt both of you emotionally, but it’s probably the best long term choice. If necessary, you can throw in a ‘next time gadget son’ in there to show this isn’t how it always will be.

Same, but I really wish it supported user tagging.

Most “real” news outlets too.

It literally keeps every single conversation you’ve ever had in a big long list on the left,

Not all of them, actually. I regularly have to use the search function to find chats/groups I haven’t used in a bit. The most organization you can do is the dozen pinned threads they let you have.

My CISO has all but said he’s going to prevent any auto-rollout of that shit because it breaks decades of user training and TRUNCATES THE FRONT OF THE URL, NOT THE BACK LIKE ANY SENSIBLE APPLICATION.

Like, let’s make it so Steve in accounting can’t see that the login link he wants to click is actually haxxor.com instead of bank.com, makes perfect fucking sense.

Try a user agent switcher, might be enough to make them fuck off and let you play.

DEMAND TO SPEAK WITH LIFE’S MANAGER

I legit want to see life’s manager, this month suuuuuuuucks

It’s that the Bastard Belly Lift I’ve been hearing about?

“Here, have this piece of niche software that’s ok I guess as a way of me charging you out the ass for the only product you actually care about.”

• broadcom, probably

Tools like restic and Borg and so critical that you will regret not having had them sooner.

100000%

I just experienced this when a little mini PC I bought <2y ago cooked its nvme and died this month. Guess who has been meaning to set up backups on that guy for months?

Unfortunately, that nvme is D. E. D. And even more unfortunately, that had a few critical systems for the local network (like my network controller/DHCP). Thankfully it was mostly docker containers so the services came up pretty easy, but I lost my DBs so configs and data need to be replicated :(

The first task on the new box was figuring out and automating borg so this doesn’t happen again. I also set up backups via my new proxmox server, so my VMs won’t have that problem too.

Now to do the whole ‘actually testing the backups’ thing.

Why not just bury a good length of conduit and just repull the line when it has issues?
