It's an absolute calamity here. My four haven't stopped reminding me for the last 30 minutes. They still have 30 minutes to wait. They will wait.
Good comedy can punch up, but very rarely works when punching down. Punching down is generally just bullying in disguise.
So, do you pronounce the full name, "lesbian", or do you shorten it to "les" or something?
If an app gives me more than a couple of unwanted notifications that I can't easily disable, it's uninstalled. Fuck that shit.
Open terminal on BBC micro to mainframe in university campus, ftp to ftp.funet.fi, patiently wait for 6 hours while a single jpeg of (hopefully!) Cindy Crawford in her skivvies downloads to mainframe. Then download using zmodem for another hour to local computer. Save on floppy, back to dorm room, to find out it's corrupted. 😂👍
Heh. My reading 1996 ticket was less that £50. I can't remember exactly now, but it wasn't super expensive. Saw the last? live performance of the stone roses after their brief reunion. Also saw the weddos that day, by far the most fun. The smosh pit for it was amazing.
Knebworth was kinda legendary in the 70s and 80s, lots of huge bands did a "festival" there on occasion. And yeah, 1996 Oasis was by far their tiptop peak. Weirdly I actually saw Oasis once before, they were touring small(ish) pub venues a few weeks before cigarettes and alcohol was released, at the Cambridge boat race. Quite the show. They played a bunch of songs that'd be on definitely maybe.
Hopefully there's a useful website under the ad spam. I need to install an ad blocker on this mobile Lemmy app 🤔
I paid £22.50 for my Knebworth ticket to see Oasis in 1996. Beer was expensive but the lines were so long that two or three was all that was feasible. Instead I got stoned off my face and zoned out on a little hill behind the vip area. It was amazing but I was so smashed that my memory is fuzzy. Ah well. My sister just paid over £1000 for four tickets to oasis. I think I got a rather better deal than her.
So I should include the 4 Saturdays I worked as a 6'2 tall Kid Vid (the short lived burger king mascot) in 1993 in Crawley Town centre (and scared a lot of kids because I was WAY TOO TALL - the costume was designed for a 5'4 girl), because it's relevant experience to my 30 year career in it consultancy. Gotcha
I took what came out of the box, very much factory default here. My offspring are figuring it out at the minute, Imma let them cook.
But the CEO's third luxury yacht? What about that?
Price decreases are actually negative inflation and have all sorts of whacked out effects on an economy. It was a concern during COVID due to the huge drop in consumer spending forcing some prices to start to decrease.
Connect is blank?
This morning, connect is empty. All view modes are blank like the screenshot. Randomly ONE post shows up if I refresh a LOT, but immediately disappears. I can read and view my profile, but any posts I try and load from there are empty too.
Edit: I appear to be able to scroll the blank space for quite some time.
Editedit: other clients do not appear to be affected.
Probably some sort of trolling effort sadly. Like an as yet unaired bit for a tv show.
Normalization of my homelab?
Hi, so I have a very individual homelab. It's a collection of stuff accumulated over nearly 30 years of doing weird stuff.
For the past 9 years it's been running as a bunch of lxc containers (privileged because unprivileged did not exist, back then) but several of those containers are p2v conversions of physical hosts dating back to debian woody and earlier. They're all upgraded to at least buster, most are bookworm. Stuff like asterisk, email, home assistant, nextcloud, matrix synapse run there these days.
The server is a 15 year old HP gen6 thing, and is getting quite long in the tooth. There's also a dedicated cheapy microserver with an i4 running opnsense on bare metal as a firewall.
Trying to run stuff like local voice stuff for home assistant is showing the HP's age quite badly. Also, our area is getting fibre, and the opnsense box is maxed out at gigabit. More speed would be nice.
So, I'm in two minds. The homelab has been a lot of fun over the years, but I'm over 50 now, I want lower maintenance. This latest wave of upgrades is making me rethink the next 20 years of homelab. I don't want to leave something stupidly "only me" if I were to die tomorrow (diabetes is a fickle bastard). My wife might want to try and carry on this thing - it runs some useful stuff around the house (but it should be noted that nothing in this house requires a server or cloud) - and that's not going to happen with the current solution.
I think I might have a path, using proxmox, from where I am now, to something that can be deployed on e.g. a bunch of ms01 class devices. I'm thinking to convert the existing HP server to proxmox, to allow me to redeploy all my existing lxc containers into the proxmox world. As I acquire hardware over the next year, I can look at a k8s migration of the services onto a small, MUCH lower power cluster. One of the keys is that I don't want to have big outages of services for days or weeks while I migrate everything so it's gotta be a rolling upgrade as it were.
I'm here soliciting feedback. Has anyone ever migrated from a deeply legacy homebrew homelab into something like this? Does it reduce the workload long term? What's the practicality of this for someone rather less tech savvy?
Thanks!
Testers wanted for new forge early display, please!
I want testers. This link is valid until tomorrow, and will give you a new version of forge with an early window display. Please install and test by whatever means necessary. If you encounter an issue - it crashes or shows an error dialog - please come to the forge discord and tell us about it! htt...
Hi, so I have posted a link in my mastodon to a new version of forge that includes an early window display. This is much improved from previous versions, and should work well for all modern minecraft scenarios, but I want some testing and validation. As such, please download and test it, and give us your feedback.
anyone looking forward to 1.20?
I hope to have some fun in 1.20 myself. Been kinda disconnected the last year or so, but I have plans, that'll make steamdeck control input a bit more fun.
