No no no no no!

You should not be in pain. PERIOD.

If the dentist is causing you more than mild discomfort they're doing it wrong and you should not accept that! If lidocaine doesn't work for you then they need to try other meds or different dosages.

This has been normalized for you and it's wrong. You deserve better.

Find a better dentist. One who focuses on you, listens to you, doesn't shame you for being in the pain they caused.

One would hope. But there are two many adults who need to pick sides.

I'm in a similar boat. I've been using Ubuntu on my servers for years but all the crap around snaps and paid sec updates has worn me down. I'm actively in the process of switching it all to Debian.

I mean, if you're problem is just remembering to type "10.0.0.100:8080" you could just have browser bookmarks. But that's not very selfhosty. 😁

Personally, I've got a bit of #1 and #2 going on.

I've got Nginx Proxy Manager in docker that rev proxies pretty much everything and adds SSL on top. I am running an inside DNS zone, so I have a bunch of CNAMEs that all point to the host running NPM. Lastly, I'm using Dashy as the front end to it all.

You can bypass but it's one of the "requirements" and the reason many older PCs fail the upgrade check.

It's because they require a certain level of TPM support.

Probably the usual. 80/443, wireguard, a couple game servers.

For those of you who staunchly put your open ports on a VPS and wireguard tunnel it back to your home server, are you firewalling that wg connection to only allow specific traffic?

Which makes me wonder why they care enough to put development time into these anti ad block measures.

You’re still buying more food from the grocery than you would otherwise

You are probably correct, but eating at home is way more efficient/cost effective at home than out. I make a little more to have leftovers or I buy an extra lb of cold cuts for the week.

and you can make the effort to buy from specialists (like directly from a butcher) instead of going to whole food or similar chains.

Yeah but I don't. 😆

Just to be clear I wasn't making an argument for forcing people back into the office. I'm squarely against it for most jobs that can be performed remotely. I was just pointing out that it's not just landlords and lazy managers who were effected. I know of at least a couple shops who's primary business was the lunch crowd that are now closed due to the pandemic.

Hahahaha. I'm close to my best friend of almost 30 years. We know a lot about each other but I never can remember his age. I know he's younger than me but is it 1 year? 2? shrug

Uh, what? This whole post feels like rage bait or you live in a very angry and unsafe area. I don't experience any of this.

No one gets a ticket for a 53 in a 50 and if you actually did it would get thrown out in court. Definitely fight that.

2 Lane roads. I hate em. But but that's all I have within 10 miles of me. I pass people, people pass me, no one is blaring their horn and brake checking (which is extremely dangerous) at all, much less daily.

Never in my 30 years of driving have a had someone lose their shit over stopping at a stop sign or a red light. I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen someone run a red light.

And while people do speed in work zones, doing 60 in a 25 work zone will lose you your license here. That would be an exceptionally stupid thing to do.

This reads like an angry exaggerated rant by someone pissed they got a ticket. If it's not, I'm sorry you live in an area full of unsafe angry people.

Sure. But WFH or in the office doesn't effect where I grocery shop. Whereas it does effect where and how often I'm eating out.

Is it tho? It's exceptionally rare for me to eat it for lunch when I'm working from home. When I was in the office it was regularly once it twice a week.

These are mostly excuses.

1. If your employee isn't paying attn during meetings and not performing well due to that, that's a performance issue. Not a location issue.
2. If they're not paying attn and are still performing well, maybe the meeting has no value.
3. Companies should provide the necessary equipment to do the job. That includes an adequate headset, camera, etc... Not providing a $50 headset is not a reason to enforce a commute.

I've had a remote managers and remote teams for almost a decade now. When I had an office to go to I was often less productive due to all the distractions. Being in a physical location makes it too easy for people to try and jump the queue and just walk over to my desk.

While I miss (and I very much do miss) the socializing aspect of a shared workspace it didn't make me more productive.

My current job, which is completely remote, with a geographically spread out team, takes steps to mitigate the separation. Most work related convos take place in an open text channel unless they're private. So you get that, "I heard you taking to Bob about XYZ".

We use cameras on team meetings. It helps with the human connection as well as with being present when you can see other people and look them in the eye.

It's not just real estate. We've already seen over the pandemic the collapse of some businesses that depend on office workers. Many of the places I used to hit for lunch are gone now.

Maybe if everyone and the uncle didn't have to have their own streaming service it wouldn't be so expensive and they wouldn't be bleeding subscribers.

Yet another reason to spread out and not centralize on lemmy.world.

Nah just gold.

I have a cheap HP printer/scanner. It works well enough it's not in the garbage but this and their "I must be signed in" to print bullshit have ensured I won't buy another HP printer when I either get fed up or it dies.

For several years I've been using an ASUS RT-68AC running Merlin for my router/AP. Honestly no complaints.

I've recently switched to using OpnSense for my router on an old Dell mini PC and switched the ASUS to AP only mode.
