Russian Patriarch Kirill on nuclear weapons: Christians not afraid of end of world
  • The neat thing about your statement is that it works both ways, canceling itself out with its own "logic".

    One random Christian says yes.
    One random Christian says no.

    "Patriarch" is a social construct, everyone is "just a guy". I do not revere a Christian more or less because they dress up like a wizard.

  • Entangle Spell Debris Duration?

    Hello, someone used an entangle spell on my eagle artillery and it feels like this debris stays around for ages. Don't get me wrong, it's kind of neat and doesn't bother me at all, just curious.

    How long until this bright green grass and thorns clear away? Tbh this makes me want to use the entangle spell more, knowing that the victim has to see thorns in their base for some duration afterwards, haha!

    Share Your Stories of Accidents and Annoyances..
  • Well written, and I learned a few things from this story. I recently started a cloud of my own with 4 20TiB HDDs in a raid 5 configuration so this story felt very prescient to me. Makes me very grateful for the simplicity of Cockpit and LUKS2.. my setup felt so trivial to configure!

  • Share Your Stories of Accidents and Annoyances..

    So I was thinking of silly things I've done that pseudo-broke my system, or made me think I had a broken system. Like the time I put the cmd :

    exit

    in my ~/.bash_aliases file and I had to open a text editor to fix it because that broke all the terminals on my machine.

    I'm curious what other silly things users have done to confuse themselves.

    What do you use to analyze journalctl?
  • That is good but only shows the last 10-15 lines of the log, unless there is an arg to expand that, or a command to follow the log. I am aware of neither.

    I usually use your suggested command to check if a service is up, then if it isn't, use journalctl to find out why.

  • What do you use to analyze journalctl?
  • tbh my go to command is just.. journalctl -fe -u service

    ex :
    journalctl -fe -u jellyfin
    journalctl -fe -u nordvpnd

    so I'd also like to know the answer to this question. my other go to is dumping journalctl to text files and parsing with grep and awk and creating my own reports with that parsed information.

    grep -E is my favorite, I love regex capturing groups.

  • TIL that India cut the Pythagorean theorem—Edit: its similarity proof—, periodic table, and evolution from mandatory education in June 2023 Edit: before adding it back a week later
  • All of these topics are : How the Universe Works 101

    ..and they apply to literally any and every field of study..

    General knowledge like this is ducking priceless when it comes to understanding.. so. ducking. much.

    That aside, I also think your specialization comment is stupid. Did you happen to graduate from a school in India in the past 16 months?

  • Nearly 70 percent of deaths in Gaza are women and children: UN
  • It is a talking point meant to engage you and waste your time, it doesn't have to make sense. This is conservative playbook 101.

    It is a demonstration of good faith vs bad faith. If only you explain it to the person properly then they will change their mind? Nope. They're just energy/effort vampires trying to exhaust you.

    Automate Backup of Factorio Saves

    I found this Python script a few years ago, it is simple enough that a non-programmer could understand 90% of it. I just remembered it had been running as a scheduled task all this time when I thought I had lost some saves.

    Thought I'd post it here in case anyone can use it. Minor things are hard coded but they are few and easy to edit.

    Cannot Get Points in Sprints..

    Edit : I appreciate all the PoVs and I will reply to everyone. This is important to me. Just going to go rest a bit and I'll be back.

    Edit : Leaving the self-insulting language in, but yeah.. Point taken, I should stop being so mean to myself. And to add another FYI, I've been on this codebase for about 3 months, which I probably should have mentioned.

    I have no idea what is wrong with me. I get tasks, I work on them, they NEVER seem to close. Meanwhile everyone around me is left and right solving their issues. I reach out for a second opinion because I must just be stupid, and every time I reach out the person is never able to assist in any meaningful way.

    It's like my tasks always have blockers that everyone around me seems perplexed by, I get a lot of, "Wow, that's crazy," or, "Yeah your job does seem to have a lot of unusual blockers."

    I'm at the point where I'm in a daily meeting where I explain what I'm working on to a senior dev because obviously they noticed I'm a person on the team with sometimes zero points in a whole month. It's so discouraging to have to go to a daily meeting because apparently I'm stupid? The thing is, when I explain what I'm blocked by, every person has said, "Oh weird, this seems like a really confusing task." Or, "Damn I've never seen anything like that."

    So obviously I look at other peoples' tasks.. what are they working on? And their tasks are SO simple and straightforward, yet I've NEVER had a task like that, all my tasks were opened years ago, remained open for months or years, then were assigned to me. And they're all fucky. Wth.

    Tbh I'm running out of things to write because I don't want to justify it, because I feel like I should be doing better. What the hell is wrong with me?

    I have wanted to change jobs for close to two years now.. but you've all interacted with recruiters.. they never help, and job search is impossible as a person with anxiety and possibly autism?

    I love coding, I hate my coding environment.. Anyone else ever have this type of issue in programming?
