I’m just this guy, you know. Except on Lemmy.
Ruby is just happy to be included
No that’s WFH jobs
That kinda makes sense. Putting all the partition sectors together would probably make it easier to resize. But as standard maintenance it’s like changing the oil on an electric car.
Most modern OSeses do defragmentation on the fly and you don’t really need to do it anymore.
Which makes me sad because I have so many memories of watching a disk defragmenter do its thing from my childhood.
I wouldn’t trust it unless I wrote it myself. And even then maybe not.
Pro tip: Defragmenting only works on spinning drives because it puts the data nearer to the spindle so seek times are shorter. Solid-state drives wear out faster if you defragment them, since every write involves a little bit of damage.
And what happens when DNS inevitably falls over and I need to fix it?
And when I’m watching IP addresses scroll by, IPv6 ones are a lot harder to read than v4
“IP address are four sets of numbers with dots in between AND THAT’S HOW I LIKES IT!” - Me, an old network guy
Honestly the fact that I can’t remember or type IPv6 addresses is a big reason I haven’t bothered figuring it out.
Like that time in Ireland when the banks closed to protest a law and life went on just fine without them.
I work with databases and don’t use master/slave because it’s not really accurate. Replicas break a lot, and the primary doesn’t have any control over them.
I can’t envision a federated service dying. Even if it’s me pedaling a bike to run a raspberry pi hosting an instance that’s just me posting it’ll exist.
This is why I take my job as sales engineer very seriously. If a customer isn’t right for the system they’re far more likely to churn, so I’m going to come out and say it regardless of how it makes sales feel.
I was a gifted kid who realized that when I applied myself all I got was more and harder work that I also didn’t want to do. Being successful academically felt like a punishment.
So I don’t mind at all that I’m filling out Jira tickets. It’s easy work and I have other things to enjoy.
I remember getting the same crash course after 9/11.
(Maybe not the best phrasing.)
I bet the benefit of free school lunches would also pay for itself. And there’s been studies that show that funding early childhood education has a huge ROI.
But that’s not how things work here.
When things go right: “WHAT ARE WE PAYING YOU FOR?!?”
When things go wrong: “WHAT ARE WE PAYING YOU FOR?!?”
I knew a kid who loved bass fishing, but there were carp in the creek near where he lived. So he would go out at night and bowhunt the carp. In a couple years he’d cleared miles of river of the nasty things, and he had the best bass fishing in the area.
Later on he went to college and got a degree in fisheries.
good FOSS antiviruses
ClamAV is the Linux antivirus library I’m most familiar with.
I always have trouble watching Disney streams. Bad quality, buffering, slow loading. I usually just pirate the show and switch to Plex because apparently I can run a better streaming service than Disney.
