I think there’s not that much actual evil, as in pure intent to inflict pain and suffering. There is a lot of focus on short term, personal gain though. Sounds the same, but the latter has a purpose and can be controlled using that purpose.

Well, not all of it but many parts that will unfortunately affect me.

RHEL?

distrobox create… done

YT Premium, YT music, yt-dlp and tag using Musicbrainz Picard. 256kBit/s Opus is done.

I’ve stopped doing that and just put my own laptop on the desk besides the work laptop the second they implemented a new privacy agreement that forbade personal data on work devices. So far no one has said anything.

Well, it IS a not very reasonable take that seems to be grounded in a certain unwillingness to deal with new and unknown yet things. How do I solve address overlap in RFC1918 and various VPNs reliably without IPv6? This starts to become a problem when I think about my self hosted music server accessed through a wireguard tunnel and I’m at a friend’s house. Not too outlandish problem for the crowd around here, I’d guess.

“Kraneberger” - “Château Tap” in German.

Yes. You explain it as if what I have described were an intellectual problem. It is not, so the support you tried is not helpful in my case. But this is public, so, maybe for someone else.

I can’t cook. That doesn’t mean that I am not able to when given time and resources and a receipe, that means that the amount of things I can fight through in a day is limited and I need to use that budget wisely, earning money, caring for my dog and seeing to it that my house and garden don’t fall apart.

That means, I can’t cook, even when it looks like I’m just sitting there, staring into the blue. “You just have to…”, no, you just have to, and the what you have to is “shut up” and “stop using yourself as a reference for everything”.

It’s just interaction bait.

The Seamstresses’ Guild of Ankh Morpork does not look favorably upon your judgement of their recent endeavors into digitalization and working from home.

Then they set their desk on fire and go on strike for the rest of the day.

Ah, that explains why I was cast into this existence last week after chilling in the void for eons, which I was actually pretty fine with, but here we are now, toast crumbs, income tax and all that. Thanks I guess.

I think there’s even an editor in there, at least one of the old greybeards at work said something to that effect.

Which is bullshit tbh, which in turn is why I don’t like LPIC. Even RedHat exams give you VMs with full manpages. Know concepts and know what to expect from which tool, everything else is wasted resources.

History is documentation enough.

I’m using my companies’ mediawiki personal user page to keep snippets and one liners that took me some time to cobble together. I export that regularly to a personal device, so, yes. I’ve found that I never look at it because once I’ve hammered something together I usually got the concept so next time it takes me a fraction of the time.

For home? Yes. For professional use where you have to deploy and support tens to hundreds of desktops? Immutable + a proper build tool chain is the best thing since sliced bread. And when you already have that, a copy of that for home makes it good for home use too.

Change shop, my man. My work desktop consists of a tiling wm, usually has one or two instances of my favourite IDE running, of course has various shells open and the only time I’ve got LibreOffice Writer open is when I’m crafting a report for a customer. Although a few of our young developers are currently building a tool chain that would make some sort of enhanced markdown the default format for human readable stuff and that would fit a lot better into our “a project is managed in gitlab” workflow.

I am not a developer, mind you, I am just creating architectural concepts and I implement them. How do you even do that without automation, automated testing, redeployability and all of that? Hell, even when a project requires talking to bare metal, the first thing I’ll think about is “how do we get out virtualization layer onto that automatically within the constraints of the customer’s network?”.
