It’s almost as though the streaming companies *want* people to sail the torrential seas again.

I have to do one more system upgrade for a client, early AM tomorrow. The hosting provider didn’t allocate additional space to the correct VMware VDC as requested, meaning I won’t be able to make a snapshot of the server before the upgrade. So I’m getting creative and spinning up a temporary VM in a different VDC (owned by same client, with lots of disk space) and I'm using rsync to back up 6 TB of data to it overnight.#sysadminlife #backyourshitup #noseriouslybackyourshitup

I set my holiday out-of-office message for work, and within minutes my heart rate dropped to 56 and my Garmin watch reported my stress level as "1/100".

Kids these days: “Apple is a monopoly! They’re worse than Microsoft was in the 90s!”Oh my sweet summer children, you have *no* idea just how awful Microsoft was in the 90s.

TFW you solve a problem by Googling for it and coming across a post you made in a forum 5 years earlier about the same problem. Thanks, past me!

For those of us of a certain age: somebody took EVERY DJ break by Dr. Johnny Fever (WKRP in Cincinnati) and matched it with the music he was announcing. The result is a 3 hour Dr. Johnny Fever show which you can listen to here: https://www.awphooey.com/wkrpIt’s pretty fun and the music mix is good.#GenX #WKRP

Whenever I see a “rice my Arch #Linux w/hyprland” video, I’m like:You think that’s badass? You should’ve tried getting X11 running on a Linux machine in the mid-90s. You needed your monitor & video card manuals & a calculator (seriously) so you could calculate “modelines” for your X11 config file.If you got the math wrong you’d fry your monitor by driving it at too high a frequency (back then nearly all monitors were fixed-frequency).Typing “startx” for the first time was *so* stressful.
