I thought the same and just rolled with it. What was the whole jean thing anyway?

My wife got me onto a comedy podcast called Bananas on the This is Exactly Right network--it's usually really funny. We both also like Dungeons & Daddies which is a Dungeons and Dragons improv comedy type podcast. Just lay in bed and laugh

Feel exactly this... Sometimes you just still want one randomly. But 99.999% of the time do not think about it at all anymore

*sigh can't have any fun in the DOT I guess

• I turned my old desktop into a home server, which let me cancel some streaming services.. and I set up an rpi4 as a kodi server.
• Signed up for Firefox Relay (had a holiday sale) to have email masks and a proxy phone number, which should help with spam & marketing crap.
• Stopped using Reddit in favor of lemmy (which I hope to contribute to this year)
• Gonna have to find a replacement for mint, since it's dying this month

Thank you for this chuckle hehe

My thoughts exactly. DRM has rone way off the deep end

That is amazing! Now, I need to see about using weather satellites to explain the bugs in my code at work...

Wow that's nice! I get 600/25mbps for $80USD in the US, coax 😞 wish fiber-to-the-premise was a possibility in my neighborhood

10Gb to the home? Where have you seen this, and.for how much? I had no idea that was a thing for residential

Ahh I missed that!

Makes more sense then -- that seemed a bit long for any update

I booted up that system and after waiting an hour or so for Windows Update to finish

... 🙄

Crazy workstation though -- wish I had need for all that power so I could justify buying one to play with

Me and my brother would sit in the magazine aisle at the grocery store and pore over Nintendo Power like it was a religious text lol

Also, you just made me remember getting all those demo discs with PlayStation magazine

I used RedReader for many years. It's one of the few apps that was given an accessibility exclusion, but I still don't want to get back on Reddit. Now I'm currently trying out Connect, Liftoff, Jerboa, and others to see which I like the best for Lemmy.

Yes I've used rename! In my case, I just need to rename and reorganize a bunch of movies & associated metadata files into directories. I don't have too many stored digitally now, so I think just shaving the yak and doing it manually via file share will work for now.

Never been an emacs user... Seems like quite a rabbit hole

I'll look into sequelize! Also, we are undergoing a training right now. I have some previous experience from $lastJob with k8s, but I'm sure my knowledge is out of date so glad to be doing it.

Helix + zellij huh? I'll definitely try it out

Laziness so far haha but yes that's a good plan

Though we are moving to kubernetes & helm soon, currently we use migration scripting tools (like alembic) for schema and data migration on app start, and our infrastructure/devops team uses ansible for deployment. Currently, we don't have CI/CD straight to production—it's still a manual process—but I hope to change that as our organization starts using k8s.

• William E. Shotts Jr., The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction

It has taken me a long time to get comfortable using a Linux CLI (definitely not as familiar with windows cmd prompt/powershell), and I know that if I log into a box anywhere, If it has sh or bash or some variant of those shells, I'll be able to get by.

Now, on my home server, moving & renaming a bunch of media files has me really wishing I had a DE installed there to Ctrl + click/Drag-n-drop...

Also, I love using VScodium/Code as an IDE bc of its configurability & rich plugin ecosystem -- but recently I had some performance hiccups with extensions not playing nice together and started (again) down the masochistic path of configuring neovim to use as an "IDE"...
