Very interesting insights. Thank you for sharing!

The Inquiry:

*Opens a 7th grade social studies class textbook.

Overall, I completely agree with this comment. But I live in the middle of the forest, completely surrounded by trees and when it hits 35c that air conditioning is very needed. Trees are nice but an air conditioner they are not.

#Create a dir and cd into it
mkcd() { mkdir -p "$@" && cd "$@"; }

This is unhinged idiocy. Seek mental help.

The growth mindset that is intrinsic in questions and comments like this is counterproductive to the goals of the fediverse in my opinion.

The goal of federated services is not to be the biggest anything in the world. But instead to give places for people who actually care about the quality of The contents they interact with and that it was created by humans.

If that means that this part of the grand scheme of media stays small… So be it.

Elated to be wrong. You see, that is how being an adult works. Sometimes you are wrong, and when you are wrong about something with a positive outcome, you are happy that you were wrong.

Fair enough. I honestly didn’t mean this as an insult. I have seen the same type of review from people who join teams that I’m on when they get told about ansible.

It certainly isn’t perfect. And there was a period of time about 5 years ago where a lot of change was happening at once.

Thanks for sharing your opinion

Same question. But with 100s of playbooks, and thousands of servers. This feels like someone had a bad experience with their first 30 minutes of ansible and gave up before looking at the command reference.

Get an uncooked one and eat it. It tastes like peas.

And rusty rams parked at every bar in red deer.

Hah! Fair jab. In my defense that title was just a blown up way to attempt to keep me onboard without a raise. Being director of IT in a startup with only one IT person is definitely not filled with director-level tasks. That title, and the bullshit that came with it, are a big part of why I left.

Nice try, troll. I’m posting here for the real humans. Not to convince you of anything.

edit to add: only one of us came into a thread espousing their views without being prompted. Maybe work on that before accusing others.

Finally, some criticism that makes sense! I will be sure to start feeding the foxes too. We already feed the birds, squirrels, chipmunks, marmots, bunnies, raccoons, stray cats, fish, black flies, and mosquitoes (with varying levels of ‘on purpose’).

What is one more species?

Seriously - This cruel bastard spends $500(cad) per month on feeding wildlife in the winter. What a piece of shit. And those raccoon houses we built so they’d be happy further from the house and stop tearing up our insulation? TORTURE FACILITIES filled with soft straw, eggs, fruit, and cat food.

Yes! Your deeply intellectual take based on my comparison of chickens shitting and screaming to how IT managers act is surely correct about how I live my life, and how those chickens live.

Fun fact - Our chickens live freely in the forest during the day, and have a nice safe place to sleep at night. We don’t force them to come home, but they know what lives out in the forest and choose to come back to where they are safe and have friends.

Oh and we don’t eat them. But if you wanna call pulling their non-viable eggs out from wherever they left them today violence then I have a few bridges to sell you in manhattan.

My CV looks something like:

• Jr Support agent > Sr Support agent > Lead Support agent
• Tech engineer
• DevOps engineer
• DevOps lead
• Sysadmin > Sr SA > lead SA
• Technical Architect> Solution Architect > Sr Arch > Enterprise Arch
• Director of IT
• Raising chickens

Chickens might shit everywhere, scream constantly, and flap their wings just to get attention, much like managers. But they can’t make you polish that shit into a product to sell. And if one gets out of line you can just eat them.

Thruxton is love.

Great pic too.

It would probably be the most point and click on one of the gaming-centric immutable distros. I think nobara is basically a shell for gaming that just happens to have a linux kernel so that might be a good one.

I, myself, am old… And I use standard distros due to ancient muscle memory and shell scripts from the age of dinosaurs. Usually debian based. Right now I’m on PopOS for my daily driver and really digging it.

Lutris is a GUI app with normal point and click interface. So even on a ‘normal’ distro I think it may be like 6 clicks to get the battle.net client installed, and then inside bnet you can install wow or hearthstone (and probably the others, but I can’t vouch directly) just as you did in windows.

Lutris will even give you a nice little bnet icon if you want :)

I have played wow on linux since vanilla. Maybe we can help you? These days you can just open lutris and type battle.net and hit install. honestly it is dead simple and my FPS i better in linux than the same hardware in windows.

[edit]And now I see this was already answered. By bad. Long day today…
