I’m IT and my cousin is software. I had to teach him basic computer maintenance…
The kids at my school didn’t get away with it because social media and all that shit. This was also in 2014-2015, so tracking down whodunnit was exceptionally easy lol
Kids are so dumb.
In senior year, my school district had 30+ bomb threats in one year. Every time we’d hear the loudspeaker ring, we’d just start grabbing our shit. They stopped telling people about them after a while because evacuating the kids once a week was a shitshow. Every threat was linked to a handful of kids who wanted attention or wanted to get out of tests/homework. I was out sick on the day the feds showed up and started arresting kids.
Haven’t used Amazon in two years. I don’t even have an account anymore. Doesn’t stop them from sending me emails 3x/day to sign up again. I try to shop local, but I do have to go to shitty corp stores for some stuff.
I work as a helpdesk tech and I always say that I killed a task in task manager when writing up ticket notes.
Omg thank you. I was really struggling lol. An hour in command line was hell.
Any tips on installing tailscale? It seems kind of straightforward, but I’ve read posts on different forums that Linux noobs haven’t been able to get it to work even with the article’s instructions.
From what I gather it’s mostly commands konsole ?
Damn, his work as Duncan was absolutely stellar. Sad to see talent like that go. :(
If by younger, you mean two years younger than now, them I have a story that is applicable in regards to my career.
Got fired from my first job in my field (IT, specifically tech support/help desk.) The firing was unexpected and done in a Tuesday afternoon with zero warning. I wasn’t given and kind of formal write-ups and had been getting great performance reviews. I was crushed. The reasoning that my boss told me was that “I wasn’t learning fast enough.” Which was absolute bullshit because I was left alone to run the department on a regular basis. I did all of my tasks and did them well and users loved me.
I suspect I was the fall guy for all the failing projects my boss was implementing. They cost far more money than he said they would. I believe I was fired so he wouldn’t get a pay cut.
I was absolutely heartbroken and considered going into another field entirely, after fighting my way through the rampant sexism in college and in job hunting. The first tech job I applied to after being fired (three days later), called me almost immediately after I applied. I did a phone interview and was then asked to do a practical interview the next day. I did well enough to get offered the job before I had finished the half hour drive home.
I make so much more money now, have great benefits, and I am respected and encouraged to grow. This job is absolutely incredible.
My grandmother says getting fired from my previous job was the best thing that happened to my career and I agree with her.
The emotional damage getting fired like I did has given me crippling anxiety that my therapist likens to that of PTSD, but without some of the PTSD symptoms. I’m getting treatment for it, and I’m at the stage where it’s getting worse before it gets better.
I had an hour long panic attack when I had to tell my boss that a doctor told me to take a week off to recover from an injury that wasn’t healing right and hindering my daily life. My boss wasn’t pleased and told me my attendance will need to be near perfect because I have already missed a lot (I have.) I’m not worried about getting fired anymore, so I haven’t panicked since, but I do get flare ups of anxiety. I get to go back and face everyone on Tuesday and hope that I won’t have to talk about it face to face because I will end up panicking then.
Bro what. No… No…
Oh shit waddup!?
Dat Boi is unironically my fave meme.
Got really drunk with some other folks at a wedding reception in a park. It had one of these. There were about 10 of us crammed on it and two other people were spinning it. We went flying and it was incredible. 10/10 would recommend.
Oh shit, I haven’t done SSH tunnelling since college lol. Brings back memories. I’ll talk to my friend and see if he wants to try it.
Love how nature is fighting back lol
Not yet. We are gonna try Tail scale at some point, but we don’t want to do any more tech work today lol. We’re too exhausted
My friend is insisting we play this way. I just want to get an actual server, but my friend is resisting even though I offered to pay for it
I don’t have a personal computer that is capable of it. When my laptop died, I went for a steamdeck instead lol
My beagle insists on being little spoon at night, so I hug him until he starts dreaming and jostles me awake. Then I make him move to my feet because I can’t stand how he moves when he dreams while I’m also trying to sleep lol
