I was probably exaggerating when I said 50.

I just counted the icons on my dash. 42.

“Backups?”

I tried Proxmox but found it way overkill for home use. I run ~50 Docker containers and I love Docker for its ease of use. Proxmox is an order of magnitude more complicated.

Your username had me quite worried!

I like it this way. It poses an interesting challenge and new perspective.

Gravy. You’re thinking of gravy.

If they need to be dead close and touch them to determine plastic, hit them with trespassing.

This, in combination with ‘copyparty’ as a Docker container with a volume mapping to my files. Edit locally, and edit from anywhere.

I live closer to the Czech border, where Austrian customs is actively policing - on the basis that driving there just to fill up on fuel is tax evasion.

Lucky you to have a place to put those panels. And a parking spot within reach.

Many people don’t.

It will be a looong time before I set foot in that country again, if ever. I’m very sad that I can’t visit my nice friends but nobody should have to risk going to a concentration camp.

Boss said, last year’s performance met expectations, so we are all not getting any bonus.

What?? Hold on. It’s a performance-based bonus. This directly translates to a bonus-based performance, effective immediately.

Fuck the company, I don’t work for peanuts.

Thank you, that is good news.

I like this approach, but how can it be enforced? Would you have to read every line and listen to a gut feeling?

Would be grand if any of you all would do ANYTHING about that whole shit show. Go on, get started already.

Respectfully disagree with you.

I’ve been taking music lessons for years, to find that I don’t have the ear nor the rhythm for it.

Ten years of dance classes, I love the feeling of floating over the floor with an English Waltz. But ask me to stop counting in my head, or improvise rather than trained patterns, and I fall apart, just rocking in place.

Painting too. Aquarels, not acrylic. I don’t have the imagination nor, again, the fine motor skills.

The Arts are not for me.

I am a man of electronics, mechanics, computing, soldering, Lego, woodworking, sailing, geometry, 3d modeling. And I can teach and plan and organise.

It’s all practical, tangible stuff. That is who I am.

Buuut the thinking is that open source algorithms are not intentionally made to be so fucking EVIL.

Only their leader(s) need urgent and acute lead poisoning.

I use a variety of laptops with their built-in keyboards, and sometimes with a variety of plain usb keyboards.

It’s easy to run an AHK script on each machine, just for me. It’s not feasible to carry a special keyboard around.
