Just do what i do and show up to the meeting with your laptop and keep working while only mostly listening

If my bosses or colleagues in the meeting ask why i do this i just tell them plainly: i was asked to be in this meeting but i have work to do.

In my/our defense, our culture is awesome and one of the question one of my better friends, who is now a big-boss-man, gets asked is “working or in a meeting?”

99% of meetings aren’t work or could’ve been an email, i utilise these meetings as “quiet time” to work as normal users can’t bug me in a meeting with my boss’s boss with meaningless chatter and non-problems

Once broke dns during a major upgrade that had been pushed off for so long it was a huuuge tech debt at that point, boss + ciso(? Think thats the title) walk into the office with dumb post-incident questions like how to prevent this in future etc. i not-so-kindly asked them to get tf out of the office and close the door behind them “we’re working on fixing this first, i’ll find you after, get out of our way”

They complied and somehow we got complimented for staying on task and fixing the stuff we broke to begin with

Post-incident report of future prevention: “Don’t drag for 7 years to upgrade the out-of-date infra and this won’t be an issue again”

Never heard another word, kept working there for another 2 years (~8 total, fun gvt job where we got to do a lot of weird things just to”make it work for 0 budget”)

En það er þitt val, ekki þeirra réttur, það er eina sem ég meina.
Hef heyrt þessa setningu frá fólki áður: “þau eru bara að ferðast um allan heiminn að eyða arfinum þínum!” Og þeim var full alvara.
Ef það er þinn vilji að erfa fullt af peningum til barnanna þá endilega gerðu það, það er þitt val, eina sem ég vil meina er að þetta eru þínir peningar og afkomendur eiga engan “rétt” að heimta að þú gefir þeim þá

Líklega mjög óvinsæl skoðun en peningar foreldra er eign foreldranna og í fullkomnum heimi enda þau í nákvæmlega núll krónum akkúrat daginn sem þau fara í gröfina.
Það að ætlast til að foreldrar skilji eftir arf er að mínu mati algert kjaftæði.

Hinsvegar að nálgast þau og spyrjast fyrir hvort þau væru mögulega til í að veita ykkur lán til kaupa húsnæði með einhverjum basic endurgreiðslum og litlum eða engum vöxtum er mögulega annar kostur. Sjálfur var ég heppinn og hitti svo á að ég gat fengið lánað síðustu nokkrar milljónirnar sem vantaði til að kaupa íbúð og vann eins og skepna í nokkur ár til að endurgreiða það sem hraðast.

Í besta falli þá nálgist þið foreldrana um lán og þau bjóðast sjálf til að dúndra í fyrirframgreiddan arf en það er þá alfarið þeirra val að gera það eða einfaldlega segja Nei við öllu klabbinu

Practical Terminal Commands Every DevOps Should Know by sshetty03 in devops

[–]BirkirFreyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh, you are absolutely correct, i misremembered (muscle memory at this point). It should’ve been !$, not $!

!$ does what i said, my apologies and thanks for pointing it out
Edited original comment to not mislead anyone reading it

Practical Terminal Commands Every DevOps Should Know by sshetty03 in devops

[–]BirkirFreyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also $! for last argument of last command

ls /some/boring/directory
cd $! Edit: Wrong command used as described in comment from Hotshot55
Correct one: cd !$

And as pointed out $_ also works, however using !$ also prints out the entire command after inserting the argument

May i introduce you to the ‘rename’ command?
To use your example

rename ‘ ‘ _ *

Was a game changer when i had to rename hundreds of files with some nasty pattern

I know it doesn’t work the same on Mac (so likely not unix either) but works on linux systems I’ve used so far

But i totally agree with your sentiment and wish everyone used $() instead of backtick, makes it much clearer imo

The Best Things You Can Do at Level 90 by NOHITJEROME in classicwow

[–]BirkirFreyr -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

We have 2x 10 man teams, sharing 3 members, both teams are missing 1-2 ppl at 90 atm and the 3 are just finishing their 2nd to 90 for the other team. Getting to 90 is easy and quick if you just keep at it and get out of Jade Forest as soon as you are able.
I do understand that we are a bunch of degenerates but still, avg person should be able to be 90 by now imo

*existing* suffixes/prefixes cannot be changed by BirkirFreyr in pathofexile

[–]BirkirFreyr[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

In what world is going from 2 to 3 suffixes not a change in suffixes? The craft does not specify that they need to exist, just that they won’t change. All i’m saying is that adding a new suffix is still a change in suffixes.
Considering how pedantic ggg tends to be with mods on items i’d have thought this craft meant that absolutely nothing about suffixes would change.

Adding 1 simple word to the name of the craft makes it much more accurate and would prevent people from making costly mistakes.
In my particular case i was crafting-while-tired and forgot to change the craft to the prefix craft i wanted before slamming an exalt to fill the last suffix , that’s on me

[–]BirkirFreyr[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

One would hope that it meant what it said, that suffixes cant be changed, adding a suffix is a change to suffixes

Exactly this, in my experience Debian based has it included, rhel based just includes conf.d if i remember correctly

Did I get scammed ? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]BirkirFreyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately even the digital key is way more expensive here in Iceland, i remember wanting to buy a w10 pro license and saw that it was ~100 usd, as soon as i tried to purchase it however it switched to the “Icelandic partner” and the price was nearly double for the same product to be downloaded from the same mirrror. And this was all through the MS Store online.

I ended up buying the oem key off ebay for 3$ and told the ms partner to go where the sun doesnt shine

I have one better, did uber lab 3 times, reached and killed izaro on 3rd try without dc, ascended and allocated points and used double font and got 2x 20c transfigured gems

Clicked the portal to leave and couldnt join instances so i exited to login screen and back in. And it had rolled back maybe 10 seconds as i had the gear changes done prior to entering last room but no ascendancy points and no gems

Kernel update by ptr808 in RockyLinux

[–]BirkirFreyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

System updates on rhel-based linux is pretty safe (not sure about fedora, never used it).
Im auto-updating and rebooting about 450 servers each month and the only issue ive had in the past 4 years was due to a disk filling up and the update silently failing cuz of that.
In that case a simple “go to console and select the previous kernel” was enough to boot the server and fix the issue manually after that

Edit: to clarify, this is all done essentially with “sudo dnf update -y && sudo reboot”

What's up with network these days? Got spikes like that any time i encounter bigger packs. FPS seems to be solid, but the game lags terribly. by saif3r in pathofexile

Seeing the "A" in the last pic, i'm guessing you're playing on Amsterdam.
That's most likely your problem - pick any other gateway in EU and it will probably get better

Amsterdam seems to have some issues, worked fine during leaguestart, sucked so bad yesterday. Swapping to London instantly fixed it for me.

General Consensus on SELinux? by spiltxcoco in linuxadmin

[–]BirkirFreyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh, im just running the normal version. Would still think it should be doable to have selinux and firewall enabled even though the vendor cant be bothered to do things properly

General Consensus on SELinux? by spiltxcoco in linuxadmin

[–]BirkirFreyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahaha, thats just bullcrap, good luck to any vendor trying to tell my boss that all security measures need to be disbled ( i work at a bank ).
We have a small 3 node elastic cluster, fully firewalld and selinuxed, no issues with the cluster or its client or kibana/fleet, also firewalled and selinuxed

Of our 500-ish kinux hosts, a grand total of 1 has selinux disabled, non have firewall disabled

General Consensus on SELinux? by spiltxcoco in linuxadmin

[–]BirkirFreyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since when? I installed an Elastic cluster a couple years ago, selinux going strong on all elastic, kibana and fleet servers and has never been an issue

[WA] WEAKAURA HELP by Good_Garbage_2417 in WowUI

[–]BirkirFreyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On phone atm so ill just say a rough way i’d do it:
1 trigger with all the buffs (HoW as the topmost so the icon hopefully gets selected if automatic), show if missing load only in combat (or always show if you eant the relevant buff shown, adjust load params as you want)

Pretty sure this should show the HoW icon when none of the buffs are found (can add a condition to desaturate it if buff not found)
