Boss calls me (the sole on-site IT person) on a sickday and tells me something important broke and I need to come and fix it (45 minute bus ride one-way). I know exactly what broke and I tell her if she goes into my office and turn my computer on then I can remote in and fix it in literally 5 seconds. She nearly screams at me saying that my contract doesn’t allow remote work and I don’t remember what exactly was said after this point but it was something along the lines of:

“It won’t be fixed for another 5 days then because I’m not coming in today (Thursday, and I don’t work Fridays or Mondays).”

“Ok bye”

“bye”

Guess it wasn’t important

Clearly taken with a better camera than mine, haha

Is there supposed to be a link here?

Maybe it’s because of what I listen to but I can generally find it on on Bandcamp, Soulseek or torrent trackers.

Yes, but on Linux I get to choose not to use Gnome

It is dangerous to exist around cars regardless of your mental state

Your ISP doesn’t give a fuck, it’s not legal trouble. It’s just overzealous sysadmins blocking anything that seems sus. I am permanently banned from most SoMe, for example, for having abnormal network activity but none of it is illegal.

You do face issues running a regular middle/guard relay. My IP is tainted from overzealous sysadmins looking up Tor related IPs and seeing mine because middle relays are public knowledge. I am banned from a lot of places for simply being a middle relay.

Pivot. If you’re serious about keeping it on the track or somewhere isolated, great, but let’s not pretend that’s what anybody is upset about.

You still have to get your car to and from the track and presumably you don’t live right next to your local track.

I absolutely enjoy loud and fast and powerful cars,

Cool! You won’t mind if I go spin up a diesel generator upwind of your house then, right?

I just really enjoy diesel generators and your opinion on my noise and air pollution shouldn’t weigh heavily on the scale of what I’m allowed to do. It’s only fair!

I’m sorry bro but if I have to listen to your fucking ICE going up and down my otherwise quiet street at all hours of the day then I am allowed to call you small dicked. If you are offended by this, I will assume it true.

Go to a fucking race track and leave the rest of us out of your dumb hobby.

Amazon gave me a partial refund for something that arrived with defects and then I requested a full refund because it turns out it was way more broken than I initially thought in exchange for sending it back but I never sent it back and they just approved the full refund.

There is nobody in charge at Amazon costumer support

The issue is that I can’t really fit all of the data somewhere else. Can I shove it onto the 4TB drive and then mount it on a new proxmox install and recover from there?

The answer was a resounding no

Cheaters are a solved problem, in my opinion. It used to be that people hosted servers- moderating and managing their own communities. The industry went away from that in pursuit of cosmetics and control. There aren’t cheaters on well managed community servers in Valve games, but cheaters run rampant in matchmaking in those same games.

Hosting videogames on a dedicated box for me and the boys when I was 16 got me more interested in networking and when I had finished my mostly unrelated education, I pivoted hard to IT. I don’t currently work in IT and I don’t know if I ever will again because my handicap and location make it hard to find jobs but essentially:

Self-hosting came first, then came the tech ‘background’.

me and my alts sorry

All of my services run on LXC containers. Some files and configs are backed up to NAS and offsite. The containers are snapshotted in their entirety before I do any work on them. A snapshot takes 5 seconds to make and causes no downtime. If I regret a change or mess it up, I can restore the snapshot in under a minute at the cost of some seconds of downtime.

My only non-container machines are my desktop (doesn’t count), my NAS and the Hypervisor. The Hypervisor is very clean and wouldn’t be much fuss to reinstall and the NAS is literally just Debian with NFS. All of these have a regular rsync which runs to backup the important files.
