In my union, quitting early gets you partial payment. And you can pay to push your seniority over the mark.
Leave of absence would be best. Earn nothing. Pay nothing. Clock still ticks. Psyche leave even better, but I’m not sure America knows what that is.
keep him marginally functioning.
…until January 21 when he’s no longer useful. They’ll Article him out or just cut back on the miraculous care he gets and wait for bad luck.
This bot is missing a line dereferencing ‘comm’, as “community, by people who don’t know what comm has meant for 60 years already”
Docker kills SLSA and ISO27002. Anything post-container?
I’m now kinda hoping that the one who hid at his golf course for weeks is naturally a bunny-boiler.
“Security Vulnerabilities”.
No. “Code changes that could one day be a vulnerability but aren’t yet exploited or even proved”.
Slop.
“oral history”.
“The ropes”
It’s got many names. Why did this guy not know any of them? Why was “I don’t know the name” suddenly “there is no name”?
enjoy this reading
It’s not a reading: we have to read it ourselves.
They don’t want you to own [your] own hardware anymore
Daily, it seems, I realize I’m one of the non-telepathic people: I can’t immediately know chip-maker company CEO motives and goals, and I just don’t see the conspiracy you do. What am I thinking right now?
no nationalized online gambling
This one sticks out. Consider a case where the amount and type of gambling operated was an election detail, as was the amount and manner of addiction response.
Pick which of those two you would move to commercially-managed operations, beholden to shareholders first, and voters second, without making it look like the kind of abstinence or prohibition law that feeds gangsters and crime more than the non-profits currently fed by nationalized gambling.
Public-run operations whose management is entrusted to trustworthy officials keeps control in the hands of the people. If your issue is with untrustworthy managers, that smells like a different problem with solutions that we seem to ignore a little too often.
unless I have a constant stream of information coming into my brain, I might go insane
I felt the same way. It’s an upbringing thing, and I’m not sure it was due to being raised poor by parents always jobbing – dad was employed for 5 different jobs at one point. I gotta be working.
My wife was raised by parents with job security and lived in one house her entire childhood. Parents were home at 4 and then 5, and knew (and taught) healthy disagreement over contentious issues. Her whole family is a breath of fresh air vs the raccoons my family must resemble.
She took me on a vacation, like the first one I ever had. It was to the Dominican, just some resort (occidental in punta cana). I asked what our plans were while we were there, because I gotta have that calendar full.
“Nothing,” she said.
“Nothing?”
“Nothing.”
And we did, largely, nothing. 10 days, beach chairs and impeccable waiters at beck and call. We saw the whales and did a snorkel, and we went to the Amelia supermarket for snacks…
But really we sat and watched the ocean. We talked like spouses should, holding hands and breathing easily. There was no work, no issues, no jobs; and, above all the cost of going and staying, the big thing a trip like that did was to get us away from the churn and swirl and rumbling gnawing stress of western life.
You may not realize it, but you need some downtime: real downtime.
Don’t go anywhere fancy, but turn the phone over and just be for a sec. Be you, be present, be interactive, be observant; and just breathe.
I found it life-changing. We don’t go to fancy places very often, but we do reserve some time to be ourselves like that, and it’s a very good thing.
Maybe it’ll help for you too? Either way, I hope you find that balance and sanctuary too, so you can exist for just a calming moment without the fear of missing out on the trivia-stream.
You upgraded from ansible to ssh. As someone forced to write yaml for ansible professionally and has used many other config management tools, I can only commend your success at escaping ansible.
Try mgmtconfig.
That’s an option. “Here’s some rocks: go make your own computer.”
But that adds to the setup cost, and with the clean removal of good packages (sit down, Debian), testing something is easier. The same way SLSA gives us a good install, it also forces a format with a good UNinstall.
Phew. Glad to hear it wasn’t a glitch in parenting, policing, school support, gun safety or negligence. Everyone can rest easy now, and also not consider fixing anything. Let’s sue like Americans and move on.
Anything flatpak-free? SLSA is no joke.
They made us use ansible at work. Then they made us use an LLM .
One cancels out the other, IMHO. None of the things I wanted to do are represented here, forced to slop some yaml together instead of building and maintaining actual software. Ai use kills any recall, expertise, or enjoyment.
But here’s the thing. I never want to think about how to affect a change via a bad listing grammar. I never want to recall the decisions I made while doing so. I never want to learn how to make better ansible. I never want to show my friends that code either.
I’m absolutely tickled to give it to the slop machine and let it accomplish the goals with very little investment from me. Fuck Ai, but also fuck ansible.
We need to report the error. Daily.
Then we shall report the error.
I thought it was “messy, generated code with little cohesion and only barely functional”, but really it’s the cohesion part.
Nope. Software doesn’t get an ‘a’ in front of it; it’s like saying ‘a happy’. ‘Uncountable’ or ‘mass’ nouns are like that.
