Yes. I specifically engineered it to be easily digestable while eliciting at least 2 GPT (groans per teenager) if delivered over an average dinner table.

You are very welcome. Cherish the eye-rolling.

Shared pain is half the pain, thank you all for putting in the effort.

I think dad-jokes are by their nature unfortunately limited to the group I have described. Every other kind of person makes them, they're just common bad jokes.

EDIT: ...also I just went upstairs, threw some logs into the stove and stared at the flames for a good five minutes. What is it, that makes some people on feddit take something, strip away everything obviously core about it until some side aspect remains which they then get furiously angry about? Rest assured, I did not get up this morning and spent my morning cuppa devilishly plotting on how to enforce the patriarchy one more day. I do however love the awkward dynamics behind dad-jokes and imagining one requires the one setting I know them in which is one overconfident dad (who is accomplished at his job but refuses to accept, that doesn't make him a master of everything), an arbitrary number of teenaged children and maybe a wife that loves the guy despite his attempts at humour. That's where that thing thrives. If in your head it's better to play the whole thing out with two deeply in love but very differently aged café owners who admire each other secretly across the street but dare not meet each other because, of course, dog person and cat person, you do that, however, I can't quite get it to work for myself with that.

I think there's even an editor in there, at least one of the old greybeards at work said something to that effect.

Which is bullshit tbh, which in turn is why I don't like LPIC. Even RedHat exams give you VMs with full manpages. Know concepts and know what to expect from which tool, everything else is wasted resources.

History is documentation enough.

I'm using my companies' mediawiki personal user page to keep snippets and one liners that took me some time to cobble together. I export that regularly to a personal device, so, yes. I've found that I never look at it because once I've hammered something together I usually got the concept so next time it takes me a fraction of the time.

There's even a 3D model of my house. In fact, there's a 3D model plus raw point clouds of my entire state, they published it as open data. It's pretty useful for planning PV installations e.g.

Looking around here houses have either been in the family for a long time, were built new or have been sold through word of mouth. Lots of those transfers never went through the hands of a real estate shark. I think the whole "building rows of same-ish houses and sell them online" is a rather American phenomenon.

For home? Yes. For professional use where you have to deploy and support tens to hundreds of desktops? Immutable + a proper build tool chain is the best thing since sliced bread. And when you already have that, a copy of that for home makes it good for home use too.

Change shop, my man. My work desktop consists of a tiling wm, usually has one or two instances of my favourite IDE running, of course has various shells open and the only time I've got LibreOffice Writer open is when I'm crafting a report for a customer. Although a few of our young developers are currently building a tool chain that would make some sort of enhanced markdown the default format for human readable stuff and that would fit a lot better into our "a project is managed in gitlab" workflow.

I am not a developer, mind you, I am just creating architectural concepts and I implement them. How do you even do that without automation, automated testing, redeployability and all of that? Hell, even when a project requires talking to bare metal, the first thing I'll think about is "how do we get out virtualization layer onto that automatically within the constraints of the customer's network?".

...wat? In what kind of shop are you working?

UpMiiGos as well.

Even in a sewer something has to be swimming at the top. They individually hope to be that something.

Yep. It's just back to where it was before the election and hovering around there, I'm not seeing any kind of "crash" beyond that. I mean, I wouldn't care as long as that company belongs to that man, but, let's at least be somewhat fact based.

Personally I find the smell of slightly burned vanilla very charming, unfortunately we don't smell much under the breathing equipment. So, kinda wasted effort.

To be honest, it wasn't until my late thirties that I finally mastered the crucial skill of identifying my own needs and transforming them into clear, appropriate communication. Before that breakthrough, I constantly defaulted to avoiding conflict—thinking "I shouldn't bother anyone," "I'm not entitled to make requests," or "my primary role is ensuring everyone else's happiness." This self-effacing approach actually made me difficult to be around, as the unresolved internal conflict was painfully obvious to anyone with even minimal emotional intelligence. The irony is that in trying so hard not to inconvenience others, I created a more uncomfortable situation for everyone.

Also it gives the morning coffee that lovely crunch.

Somewhat expensive but pretty temperature resistant.
