You mean "West Coast" here rather than "The West" right? 8AM PT is when Europe is shutting down for the day. My "9AM meetings" happen at 3PM local time, I sometimes have to remind coworkers not to schedule meetings with me for the end of their day (could be worse, Samsung only want to do meetings late PST because "that's when Korea starts up")

There might be a valid use case there for picking up one of the bajillion free 1024x768 monitors out there, getting a VGA -> HDMI adapter and hooking it up to a Raspberry Pi 4.

Have newer Raspberries gotten fast enough to handle modern web browsing? Because as a nerd experiment I tried to set one up as a workstation a few years ago on a Pi 3. The javascript performance was so miserable it was useless for doing any actual work. If my entire job was typing in an xterm, great. But it's not.

Pi3 -> Pi4 is about the level of leap that Pi1 -> Pi2 was. Huuuuge upgrade. It's still a glorified budget cell phone running Linux, but for a small child my guess is it would likely be usable in that context. Biggest issue would probably be in a Zoom session you're both receiving and rendering video, plus you'd have a browser open. Whether it works or not, it will would probably be pushing the limits of what it can do. If I had a kid tho I'd probably take it on as a project. Even if it doesn't work out in that use-case, you can put Kano OS on it for them. Edit: Looks like there's not a Kano build for Pi4 yet klosterdev fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Dec 8, 2020 |

The pi4 works fine for zoom or meet or hangouts - zoom is running in the browser, iirc the linux version segfaults instantly or won't start at all becuase armv6l/armv7l

Pissing me off: my old person brain. I don't know how many times I've had to output a CSV in PowerShell where I do a foreach loop that ends with output-csv c:\folder\$thing.name.csv to create a whole bunch of them, and I literally cannot remember how to format the file path where it doesn't break without Googling. edit: and this is probably the 40th time I've googled this, discovered a better way to do it, and then promptly forgot. I'm guessing, anyways. Don't do drugs kids. i am a moron fucked around with this message at 16:18 on Dec 9, 2020 |

My dumb aging brain forgets language syntax and order of function parameters constantly. If I work in js for a month and switch to python, I will invariably have to look something up, like say whether a list declaration uses parenthesis or square brackets. Or if go to php. Or shell. Or perl. It makes me feel super dumb.

The place I'm at now installed a bunch of rack mounted UPSes in network closets where there's not enough room to slide the battery out. Needless to say it takes a while before those bad batteries are replaced.

Oh hey, you picked an entire service that explicitly blocks the outbound ports that are required for you code to do the thing you wanted. Thank you for having such a rigorous process around application development. And no, amazingly, it doesn't matter if this worked locally for you for fucks sake. Extremely glad I got pulled into a last minute, emergency meeting where I also got to witness your QA app try to connect to a production environment. Love killing one bird with two stones.

I spent two days figuring out why my brand new packer builds weren't picking up the cloud-init configurations correctly. My org has never used templates or automation of any kind and I have never used packer before. The server I was using to bootstrap the process was running Centos, which comes with a software firewall on by default. The packer HTTP server that hosted the cloud-init file wasn't being exposed. Two days

One of my on-going projects is to go through my stations video archive. Right now we have 16 years or so of meetings backed up to DVDs, but only one meeting type is organized. The other four are just in stacks here and there. Some in jewel cases, others in envelopes, and most are just in stacks of bare discs. So first I get to go through and try and organize them into what meetings, then by year, etc. But for some reason, we have three or four copies of one meeting. Is there a reason? Audio adjusted? Video not synced up? Who the gently caress knows. I can handle that, what is really annoying me is that they titled almost every disc in month-day-year format, if the disc is even titled at all. About half are labelled My Disc, VH DVD, Project, or just disc-1.

We're having a circuit from company X installed. Reseller of company Y. Company Y 'installed' the circuit. Boss plugs laptop in, can't use it, blah blah. "this should work!" Asks me to take a look at it. "Well, they aren't done...someone's going to come from company X and finish it. "he said he was done!"  Today company X calls. "Hey I'm coming in tomorrow to finish that circuit" "Well company Y was here the other day and did it already" "Yea, but..." Hey bob know why the circuit don't work yet?

Bob Morales posted:Let's talk about rack placement  One of our worst clients (smallest, most yappy, pays the least, worst about data security, oh and they're a CPA so, y'know, not like security matters or anything), is moving as their landlord raised the rent. Thing is, they're flush with cash, they're just cheap as gently caress. Normally. The big shock we got: they BOUGHT a building, a pretty sizable one (maybe 10k square feet?). And they're taking over the entire second floor, and remodeling it. Great! The unsurprise we got: they initially told us we could put their basic infrastructure (one server, switch, firewall, UPS) in the existing telco closet, which was a literal old-school telco closet, 3' wide and about 30" deep. After telling them in no uncertain terms this wouldn't work, they grudgingly expanded the closet. ...to 44" deep. And the place where the door was bumps out about 2", and the new walls extending out from there follow that dimension (presumably there were 2x6s in the wall there for the door framing and they just drywalled over them and built the new wall accordingly), so the actual expanse we can use is, y'know, 30", and we're putting in a two post with a cable manager between it and the wall so that the midmounted server will be far enough out in the room that the part of it extending forward won't hit the bumpout. Oh and five minutes ago we were informed that their access control vendor, who we didn't know existed until yesterday, is planning to install a 40"x20" box somewhere in the closet.

Do it. Those CHUD fucks wouldn't hesitate for a second to gently caress you over, in fact, they already have. Would you feel the same way if they were wearing an openly Pro-Nazi face mask? Because they are.

Pissing me off: One of our client-facing networks went down after facilities plugged the new camera system provided by our security contactor into one of the switches. It comes with a little contractor-controlled custom rack PoE switch with eight ethernet ports, plus two more labeled "Uplink". They plugged the Uplink cable into one of the eight instead of an Uplink port.

Yup. For every one person who dies: 19 more require hospitalization. 18 of those will have permanent heart damage for the rest of their lives. 10 will have permanent lung damage. 3 will have strokes. 2 will have neurological damage that leads to chronic weakness and loss of coordination. 2 will have neurological damage that leads to loss of cognitive function.
