Well, they are prob HQ in Charlotte

Nope

green inlet
#

Well shit

chilly nymph

Haha

#

I am just fโ€™n with you. I couldnโ€™t double-dip my current job.

chilly nymph
#

Oh I know

#

But it's so hard to find good people right now

green inlet
#

But I am looking to retire into the banking industry

chilly nymph
#

If you ever need to learn about it, let me know

green inlet
#

But more than 50k

chilly nymph
#

I mean...I imagine you are beyond entry level

#

I'd be working in a completely different industry if I was at 50k

green inlet
#

Well, letโ€™s just say my current job, transitions well.

chilly nymph
#

But I did start around there, after accounting for inflation

green inlet
#

Retirement plus 50k with a chance to move up wouldnโ€™t be bad but canโ€™t do Boston. Although, I have always wanted to live in Boston. I went to college to be an architect and frank loyd Wright and Boston architecture is supposed to be cool.

Why is this a thing?

LOL eh, demonstration of how solid a good *nix system can be?

Exactly....it has nothing to do with anything else except *nix

longest I've ever seen was 12 years

real frigate

*nix master race. Just sayin' ๐Ÿ˜‰

clear ferry
#

hpux that one too

#

we even replaced some PCI-X cards online in that one ๐Ÿ˜„

real frigate
#

I think we were talking about that before atx. That's also the longest running os I've ever seen... something like 8 or 9 years uptime.

clear ferry
#

I often see 7-8 years

#

those aren't publicly facing though

#

I have grown fond of LVM recently, did a migration on these 25 hosts fully online from two old SAN to two new SAN

forest edge
#

the key is not update it

clear ferry
#

no data unavaliablity

green inlet
#

I run a cron task to reboot all my stuff every 30 minutes. #fresh

real frigate
#

Yeah, this one was internal and was our oldest db server.

LVM #FTMFW Often the unsung hero of the Unix world.

I recently moved my debian host to LVM too, to mirror the docker persistant storage ๐Ÿ˜„

ALL my server builds use LVM.

You are the king of freak.....

Plumbers though.....laying pipe

speaking of toilets, the georgia toilets freaked me out

real frigate

Wait... you guys do manual labor?! Like... with tools and shit?! lol

forest edge
#

never seen indoor plumbing before atx?

clear ferry
#

more like, wtf is there 10 liters of water in the toilet

i bet the hotel staff was wondering why you were wandering around the parking lot looking for the outhouse

clear ferry

my ballsack almost dipped

You dropping a little early....

#

That usually doesnโ€™t happen till 50ish

clear ferry
#

I have the longest balls in europe according to independant scientific studies

#

but seriously, the level of the water was disturbing

green inlet
#

I hate when they donโ€™t heat the water in the urinals

forest edge
#

I never understood why there had to be so man damn toilet shapes and sizes

clear ferry
#

this is the norm in europe

#

this was georgia

forest edge
#

to be fair that top image looks like a kiddie toilet

#

or something you find on an airplane

clear ferry
#

WHERE ARE ALL MY EU PEOPLE ? ๐Ÿ˜„

#

except the germans

#

they have reverse toilets

#

so they can study their poop

#

for reference

forest edge
#

is falling in the toliet a real fear over there?

#

now that is a dumb design lol

clear ferry
#

the urinals in georgia were weird too

#

they were almost on the floor

#

so you were pissing downwards

green inlet
real frigate
#

Yeah, that's normal in the states in older restrooms... Us old folks and gravity and yeah... lol

forest edge
#

urinals range from all the way to the floor and up

#

in schools they are almost always to the floor to accomidate the kids

green inlet
#

Isnโ€™t downward the preferred method?

#

It decreases blow back

real frigate
#

Unless you manage to hit that metal grate thingy perfectly and it splashes back on your shoes (ask me how I know).

clear ferry
#

I remember these when I went to school

real frigate
#

I remember those in EVERY pub I've ever been in from the 80s. lol

forest edge
#

trough are not very common here except bars and drive ins lol

real frigate
#

Yeah, especially older bars.

#

My wife's family all live in South Carolina and every time we go down, we hit this bar from the 1940s that has those... But they also go to the floor.

clear ferry
#

the standard here now is waterless urinals

forest edge
#

i have seen all kidns of those from porcelain to stainless

#

wtf is that

clear ferry
#

it passes through layers, so no smell

forest edge
#

they teaching you all to piss in a trashcan huh

clear ferry
#

anti bacterial coating

#

and no water

real frigate
#

I'm sorry... there are somethings that don't need to be messed with and/or improved upon. What's next? They going to just prop up bushes in the bathrooms there?

clear ferry
#

well... we have bathrooms with foilage already

forest edge
#

complex toilets urinals is stupid imo. more crap to break, harder to fix and really just a waste of materials

real frigate
#

"New and improved urinals! Just piss into the bush! All natural!"

#

wtf is "bathrooms with foilage"?

#

"For that outdoor experience indoors... Use our new Natural Bush Powered Urinal... Now with 90% more leaves!" lmao

forest edge

they take pride over there is trying to be the best at eco friendly stuff, like a competition between themselves lol

then there is metal and heavy metal etc etc

#

i know many of you overseas just clump everything into the very few catagories you have but we have a bunch

dusky plank
#

I obviously know nothing about this music category because I can't see how "every breath you take" by sting counts as hard rock...

#

anyway, thanks for the examples

real frigate
#

Yeah... I have to agree... lol

deft pewter
#

Sting are hard rock? ๐Ÿคฃ

#

Genres
New wave, reggae rock, post-punk, pop rock

a lot of songs can be a combo of more than one category. they can be confused etc

without pihole, is there a way to make youtube on xbox stop playing an ad every 3 sec

subtle pasture
#

Depends. PiHole might not even help. DNS based ad blocking isn't all that effective...

#

Especially for things like YouTube, where the app (at least on Android) will fall back to its own internal list of resolvers if you attempt to use DNS based blocking.

#

It just goes "aight, I'mma resolve that ad anyway. Nice try"

#

You might have better luck with something like pfSense + pfBlocker-NG, which can A) act as a filtering DNS server, B) supports IP blocklists, and C) can block internal devices on the network from attempting to access any other DNS services (or pretend to BE those external DNS services via masquerading).

#

However, DoH (DNS over HTTPS) generally works around even that, because it tunnels DNS over HTTPS on port 443. It's...difficult to block that kind of traffic without breaking most of the internet...

forest edge
#

assuming the app even uses that

subtle pasture
#

Right, though the Android app is certainly VERY persistent about resolving ad domains

#

It wouldn't surprise me

#

Hell, with how often the app is updated, they might just hard-code a resolution table in there as a fallback of last resort

#

Usually the answer for that would be an IP blocklist on your router, but if the ads are hosted on the same domain as the videos (like they are on YouTube) then that just blocks YouTube. lol

forest edge
#

some routers can run the same scripts that like ublock uses which would work

#

although I don't know if those get auto updated like they do on browsers tho

Loads of places have mostly underground cabling. Once the conduits are down, it's simple to feed new lines through them.

They're not exposed to the elements, which reduces the need for maintenance anyway.

Sure... but lots of businesses count on high initial outlay costs and reduced ongoing costs.

Once you've laid conduit for an estate, nothing much really changes. We're switching from copper to fiber in most places - all they do is disconnect things at the access points, pull the cable out, blow a new one back through.

It's practically free. Don't even need a cherry picker to get to the suspended cables. A two-man crew can replace a street's worth of cable in a day.

Chilly 16 here today, down to 10 at night. Theyโ€™re calling it a polar vortex on the news again.

#

Going to get down to 7 on Tuesday night. Will have to pull out a second duvet for the bed

#

Crank the heater to 30

#

Hope we survive the great freeze

I love local drama

We got some small castle ruins on a hill here
And the dude that owns most of the hill wants to build a house on it (currently it's grasing land for some horses)

And people are pissed, because that'll obstruct the view onto the castle ruins
so there's a petition against letting him build there ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

I think they should demolish most of Edinburgh so we can better see the castle.

I'm undecided on whether they should evacuate buildings before they're demolished.

Americans won't understand this, but it is interesting how teachers strike every year just before exams, so their demands atleast somehow have to be met ๐Ÿคฃ

Same with airport employees right before summer holidays

One could almost call it planned

Strike? That's the thing 'murican employees get replaced for, right?

Indeed. Some of the oldest Volvos were tanks:

I loved my 77 Volvo 245

Can even fit a few RPI on top

The museum is starting to come to life now that there are motion sensors to trigger certain actions like the terminal. The terminal is run off a pi3 so I installed mpd on it/added speakers so the initial tts comes from it. Then the rest of the tts is done on the pi running ha.

So if someone was interested in learning how to do offensive security, would that qualify them as a nerd? They somehow think there can be non-nerds that know all that tech stuff.

forest edge
#

the title nerd isn't what it use to be, anyone with access to Google can be a nerd in an instant. there must be a new term created to compensate as well as still retaining the proper insulting fashion for the "actual" nerds of this era

#

too bad dork was already used

deft pewter
#

Being a nerd isn't about having some knowledge, it's about being interested in something technical.

#

Nerd isn't an insult anyway ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Kids and their crypto.

#

I'm actually okay with some of the games they play though... I bought a few shares in AMC a while back thinking we're through the worst of the pandemic and entertainment businesses will be recovering soon.

#

The autists on /r/wallstreetbets somehow managed to boost AMC a load this week. I made a 450% gain and cashed out yesterday.

glacial knot
#

what the fuck even is AMC? I thought it's as much of a meme company as gamestop was when the memes started

deft pewter
#

Meme? Nah, they run probably one of the biggest cinema chains in the world.

#

They share value unsurprisingly tanked when the pandemic hit but they made it through.

#

GME is a definitely meme. I have no idea why people keep claiming that the business is going to reinvent itself and somehow be a big thing again. Gamestop is an irrelevant business that failed to adapt in time.

#

they got a new upper management and starting some esports stuff now I think

Just like everyone else then? How are they going to stand out and be better?

#

It is, probably why heโ€™s drinking non-alcoholic. Tight!

deft pewter
#

Even the 'non-alcoholic' part is a lie. They're usually brewed and then filtered to remove most of the alcohol. I think it leaves them at something like 0.3% alcohol by the time they're bottled.

#

Lagers are vile in the first place. Lagers without enough alcohol in to get drunk are just pointless.

A beer in the shop is $4-8 each, if I go out drinking it will be $6-10 per beer
