How does New Lunix fit into the picture?

Not surprising but: metric units, and they are the units of the finished product not some arbitrary historical size lumber used to be

Hey mom, look! I’m in this post!

Fifteen years ago when I was looking, I took vacation or sick days off in order to focus on the search. For in-person interviews, I would take “doctor’s appointment” for the morning or afternoon as that office was pretty lenient on that excuse.

Yes, it is tiring and time-consuming; some things have to get sacrificed - I just chose to sacrifice the tasks at my current job.

As for transferring within the same company, if you are a good employee then “the company” is usually happy to have you stay internal even if it disappoints your current team. There is a much lower cost of an internal hire than external, and since you are still an employee your old team can still reach out for support if needed. In other words: talk to HR and see what their policies are. Your new boss will most surely talk to your current boss so it’s not going to be a secret.

Depends on the scooter - check the manual or the OEM website.

It’s actually not that bad; I certainly wouldn’t choose it (it’s an Arris) but I don’t want to put $400 down for a router. (I have no idea what a router costs. I’d also spend a month researching the exact perfect router and then take weeks with custom firmware and configuration and miss spending time with the family.)

Or worse, you have an ISP-provided modem + router that has it locked down. Yes I could buy a router and put it the modem in bridge mode blah blah, so I just configure each device manually.

New phone, who’s this?

No, the moment that draw(9) is called, draw(10) goes on pause while draw(9) runs, which pauses when it calls draw(8) … which repeats (or recurses) until draw(0) gets called. Then it returns which returns to draw(1). The draw(1) un-pauses and does the #\n bit and returns to draw(2), which un-pauses and does ##\n and so forth until draw(10) does ##########\n

Public Education has failed us. Either that or autocorrect.

Now I have Tool stuck in my head. Happy Thanksgiving!

🎼I…Am…your singing telegram!🎼

I think I made it right with an edit.

Happy Birthday!!

ETA: …you know, whenever it may be

Interestingly that chart basically says “light visible to humans”

Thanks for the tip, i didn’t actually 100% understand what proxmox was until you said that it is a hypervisor.

I have a NUC that I accidentally stole from my last job that may become my hobby PC. I will probably try a distro on bare metal to get my feet wet but then take it to there. Or maybe a USB distro to start? I haven’t put much thought into it yet.

I went from 212j to 920+ and it’s night and day in terms of what it can do. It was also $400 more so there is that.

It has been a fun hobby to nerd out learning Docker, networking magic, VPNs, and such. It may tun into full-blown Linux on a PC at some point.

If you got one with a decent CPU it’s also quite the little workhorse of a home server via its apps and Docker.

Ask ChatGPT. It won’t always be correct, but is patient with a new learner, so to speak. You can ask it to explain in more detail, or “is there another way to do that?” and get a different perspective on a solution.

Write it down when you figure something out. Draw arrows to it from some other part you figured out. Scratch it out when you realize you had it wrong and then put the arrows to a new place where you doodle how it actually works. Never look at the notes again.
