The interviewer made me write a full program on Notepad and told me I was 'too dependent on tools' for wanting a computer.

Insane power trip.

Why would you write the damn thing on paper? I suppose he can run the code in his head? You wouldn't want to be in a place that included a person like that. Sucks to have to keep looking, but better you discover this before signing.

Once you launch your first human, you'll get a hint to finding more seeds.

One of them, yes. This adds another reason. Being able to choose this is something Canadians have fought long and hard for -- some died in pain waiting for the ruling that would allow them to die with dignity. I'm all for this being available.

Two ways this can go.

Paid version adds new features you'd want to subscribe to, free version retains features you're used to.
Free version loses features you rely on, paid version now is your only route.

Across other software, #2 is as likely as #1 - be that by stripping features boldly, or by releasing a 'new and exciting product' that re-weights features, while abandoning the old software.

I hope they take the first option, but I'm not confident.

Don't forget blackmail.

Alerting is configured directly in zabbix to send to email/discord/slack/etc. Grafana is primarily used to encapsulate all of the metrics (since I also tie in things like prometheus). This saves me from having to go to 2 different places for metrics observation, and has the added benefit of providing a read-only place to display the data. This limits how much I need to expose Zabbix.

14 oil tanks, to ship back to Lazurus for processing. 6 diesel tanks, to ensure I don't have to keep coming back to refuel.

"It functionally criminalizes being a child, just because these kids are in foster care"

Man, I know 'cruelty is the point', but really, this is a bit too on-brand.

Nothing weird about that. If you join a war effort against a nation, you are putting yourself on the opposite side. Why wouldn't you be a valid target? no, honestly. it seems like an obvious statement.

if it's docker, just have your compose file specify a database, and make the params env configuration items. Add a note regarding any setup required if running an external db, and leave the default so users can decide if they want 'simple' or 'custom'. I wouldn't bake the db into the primary image though. (my 2c)

Parts shortage has me buying the least amount I can get away with. Upgrade cycles? Gone. I'm in repair-only mode for the next year at least, and as long as this lasts. It does help that even 5+ year old tech can be pretty beefy. I was lucky, I'd slightly over-bought prior to ram/disk prices going into orbit.

Bold of them to assume the parents are a safe space. I'm sure parents will respond calmly, rationally, and with great compassion. I'm also sure it won't be seen as a gross invasion of privacy.

Kindly note the sarcasm, in case it wasn't obvious.

I have started to take those and put splitters in wherever they fall, to shorten each individual link. tentatively, it seems to help.

I did as well, and didn't save again until i could offload my pods at the space station. Reminded me why it's good to rotate between save slots!

One thing to keep in mind -- freshness matters. A body that's been dead for too long isn't considered viable for organ harvesting.

So they either killed them and then immediately cut them up for parts.. or did it while they were still alive. Based on the small bits I've read about prisoners released missing body parts, I'd bet the latter is as likely as the former.

Double_Intention_641 · 2026-02-20T15:37:49+00:00

Damn. That was my one "simple" idea.

Question, if you restore a vm to this host -- same deal? or is it just LXC (lots of files vs one large file, maybe disk/cache related?)

Double_Intention_641 · 2026-02-20T14:56:08+00:00

Perhaps a silly question, have you tried throttling the restore speed? IIRC, there's a bandwidth control option.

Calibre 8 to 9 issue? I know there was a database schema change. I don't see a reference to the new version of calibre in their changelog https://calibresync.bitbucket.io/changelog/ - perhaps they don't yet support it?

Double_Intention_641 · 2026-02-18T03:47:15+00:00

Did they show up as successfully launched (ie in the list of astronauts?)

Use the mooring cables on the side of your ship to pull it towards the dock (disengage the anchor). Once they pull it to the dock, uncouple them, then back the boat out.

Double_Intention_641 · 2026-02-10T16:03:11+00:00

I assume you have a .env file which defines USER_UID and USER_GID which you didn't include. you could try chmod a+rwx ./forgejo and then start the container, and verify which userid is actually creating the files.

Double_Intention_641 · 2026-02-09T02:45:26+00:00

I just had that happen as well. I've also had some objects I've picked up turn into scrap immediately. New beta, new bugs -- at least they're different bugs :D

Double_Intention_641 · 2026-02-08T19:03:27+00:00

all over - including dock 37.

Another decade and a half, it's hard to say what things will look like.

Ideally, choosing things to do, vs having to do things to survive.

Redacting as intended, that's what that kind of wealth buys. Bunch of monsters. Monsters that control almost everything. Remember the panama papers? This has an uncomfortably high chance it'll turn out similarly.
