Well, I dye my hair red and purple, so that’s gotta count for something.

And on their way out, they would intentionally knock something else into the fiery pit just to spite you.

I think French Toast is a great name for the little guy

In my case, I use a PCI card with an m.2 slot for my OS drive. I lose a PCI slot, but I already had a few to spare.

I use a 1tb ssd for the os/apps with my raid5 strictly for storage. Kinda nice if the os needs to be reinstalled or I want to migrate the raid cluster.

As mentioned by others, he “retired” a few months ago, but he’s not the only one at fault. Many of the other executives contributed to the terrible decision making that landed the company in its current situation and they need to be cut loose as well.

You misunderstand, we’re in the mirror universe.

“There is not a lot of history of laziness being rewarded with success. Hard work is an essential ingredient in any recipe for success.”

Says the corporate executive whose success is measured entirely by the hard work of others.

Maybe you should think a little more about the shareholders and little less about yourself. /s

When I have no choice but to interact with people, I do my best to treat them with respect. However, I would say I’m generally ambivalent toward people overall and do my best to avoid them. I’m just not a social person and I never will be. Being forced into social settings is exceptionally stressful to me.

Listen, I built enough lego bridges back in the day to know I ain’t trusting that.

Israel must be so proud, murdering starving and defenseless people.

Somebody get that poor pig out of there before the car explodes

If anyone demands I implement some feature into one of my open source projects that I either don’t have time for or don’t want to do, my response is one of the following:

1. I’ll get to it when I can (if I actually care to do it)
2. You are welcome to implement it yourself and submit a PR
3. You are welcome to fork the project and do it yourself or convince someone else to do it

But thankfully, my projects don’t have a very wide audience, so requests/demands are rare.

And this is the big long-term problem with Israel’s campaign of open genocide. They don’t care how many innocents are killed as long as they wipe out Hamas, but in the process, they’re inspiring more fanaticism in the region and fueling Hamas and other similar groups. Both Hamas and the Israeli government are terrorist organizations and they have a symbiotic relationship. The only real losers here are the innocent people caught in the middle.

Personally, I found Arch to be difficult to get installed. I’m ok with command line stuff once everything is all setup, but having to use it for the installation process is something I found to be too easy to screw up and too time consuming overall. Also, I haven’t seen any drop of vanilla Arch with a GUI installer. For the Arch experience, I generally go with EndeavourOS since it’s easy to install, gives you lots of options for the window manager, and is easy to use once you get it up and running.

If you’d prefer the Debian environment, I think anything from Debian or any of its derivatives (Ubuntu et al) would be a decent choice. My favorite is Linux Mint. I’ve seen a lot of people describe it like “entry-level” Linux, but it’s very capable and user friendly. It’s where I tend to spend most of my time when running Linux and I would say usually requires the least setup since it typically just works out of the box.

There’s also OpenSUSE Tumbleweed if you feel like going a somewhat different direction. I get more “traditional Linux” vibes from OpenSUSE, but packaged up in a user friendly manner. I play around with it from time to time in a VM, mostly when I want to test out some new server package locally. But, that said, it’s still capable of handling anything else I throw at it, so it’s fun to use all the same.

No, I don’t work with recruitment agencies anymore. Only ever had bad experiences with them earlier in my career, so these days, I apply for positions directly.

In the last 3 months, I’ve managed to get 2 interviews and the last one ghosted me. It’s still pretty bad for some of us.

Unity employees are shareholders, but greatly in the minority compared to the executives. The C-suite is routinely granted thousands of shares while the lowly employees are given a few hundred RSUs every year, which vest over a period of 4 years. It’s kinda bullshit how little equity employees by comparison, but definitely by design.

Who let Bear Grylls in here?
