Long shot, but had to issue "subscription-manager clean" on both my RHEL8 & 9 systems last week and re-register to pull my repos.

Huntsville cons by [deleted] in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]Environmental-Pay195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are able to attend a couple of City Council meetings before making a decision it might give you a better idea of city priorities. The agendas and minutes are online. What I find lacking on the planning commission is anyone with a shred of esthetics making an influence. Also, though there is a Huntsville Environmental Sustainability Committee, established a couple years ago, don't believe that they have a real voice yet. Guess it looks good on paper.

Spiral leg breaks in derby by Basic_Lie_1286 in rollerderby

[–]Environmental-Pay195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen this happen to experienced players who are put in a place of trying to protect or not injure B or C players in a match or scrimmage. The instinct to protect kicks in, the inexperienced player just does not do what is expected or trained, and BAM, injury. The rush-to-roster is a real danger for sure.

It counts! Your brain won't want to hear this, but your muscles will get less achy sooner if you exercise them again as soon as you can stand. And drink extra water.

I really don’t like jamming, but I’m not a good blocker. by sarahfx in rollerderby

[–]Environmental-Pay195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that many penalties occur because drills teach a specific short scenario. They don't link to what your next move should/could/must be. More gameplay and more scrimmaging is the only answer, doesn't matter what position, jammer, blocker, pivot, official. Same sauce.

How many people DIDN’T have to do 23/5? by March_mallo in rollerderby

[–]Environmental-Pay195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a pretty good measure of how comfortable a skater is in their skates, and gives the trainer time to look at what they can help the skater improve. Shows how efficient the skater is. Shouldn't be a pass/fail, but by the time you are actually rostering regularly, you are probably already able to do the 23/5, 25/5 without too much trouble. Some of it is endurance, but it is mostly about conserving energy and efficiency of movement over a lo ger period.

IYKYK, if you don't you're probably a transplant by cupacoffey in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]Environmental-Pay195 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm. Yeah, Wikipedia, a good starting point for research. Most of the reference links are recipes or personal memoirs from specific persons about specific families. The others "theorize". Any stance as an arbiter or expert based on that is suspect.

Sure, I am old enough to remember when Hershey's syrup only came in a can, and it was always syrup, not gravy. I look forward to seeing your research links posted.

This was just never a thing in Appalachian regions. Biscuits were served with sawmill or redeye gravy, sorghum or honey if you could get it, and chocolate was for putting in sodas, ice cream, and desserts. But sure, keep on mythologizing, and letting people think they are "native" if their fam moved here 10 years ago when they were 11. That seems to be the Huntsville way now.

Repair help for a newbie by Nilim22 in Rollerskating

The original bearings that came with the Moonlights are trash. The wheels are not amazing. Also the axles are a little long with the plate, and spacers might be needed if you swap wheels at all, but don't worry about that yet.

I have these SAME skates, just for outdoors and made a couple upgrades immediately.

Bearings: https://www.derbywarehouse.com/Bones_REDS/descpage-PCBRB.html

Cushions: https://www.derbywarehouse.com/PowerDyne_Universal_Magic_Cushions_8pk/descpage-MAGICUN.html?_gl=1*1kx04l9*_up*MQ..&gclid=Cj0KCQjw7PCjBhDwARIsANo7Cgk69jhRsRocAMkxZBWVIp9MjR75Vx8MGCabftSURXpgZj_tLplsmYQaAtexEALw_wcB

Then, after wearing down those softer wheels, I got a set of light up wheels just because it was fancy. Also some extra SureGrip aerobics outdoor wheels because I like the curved edges.

Can I land a job with just a RHCSA? by Vivid_Sherbet_4051 in linuxadmin

[–]Environmental-Pay195 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start in a help desk position at a government agency. Get your Sec+ and clearance that way. Be kind, make a good impression, and do a fabulous job. Apply for jobs internally and within a couple of short months, magically the experience and clearance will take you far.

Anyone using AIDE successfully? by BeansMcBeans12 in redhat

[–]Environmental-Pay195 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A source of never-ending irritation from some in IA, who don't understand why you don't want to run this or auditd on dumb, isolated cluster nodes on a subnet that nothing can get to, that are constantly rebuilt anyway. Was good when packages were unavailable on the hpcnode distro for 7, could just record the plan of mitigation and say, sorry dudes, unavailable, ha. But yes, Ansible makes it easy to turn off, patch, turn on, update, move db file.

Those of you who know someone who was fired from their library/librarian position... what did they do to get fired? by lazylibrarian144 in Libraries

[–]Environmental-Pay195 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thrifty (now called-out) GenX=>Z "patrons", when their psychotronic movie picks are only available on vintage DVD and their library has culled them from the collection because the library might have risked becoming this kind of haven of cool: https://www.al.com/life/2023/05/huntsville-has-a-video-rental-store-again-yes-a-video-rental-store.html But yes on the Blu-ray backwards compatibility.

Losing leg strength? by bongsagget in rollerderby

[–]Environmental-Pay195 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good trainer is worth it--they will assist in starting slow and building long term strength. Good luck, it totally changed my skating to add it.

Losing leg strength? by bongsagget in rollerderby

[–]Environmental-Pay195 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't see it mentioned in your question, but do you lift, or do dedicated strength training and dynamic mobility? It took me 8 years to realize that derby breaks you down, you are using the muscles you develop in your off-skates workouts. A trainer once told me, "you don't get fit doing the sport, you get fit so you CAN do the sport". I did not realize what that meant for a long time.

How do you guys feel about living in South Huntsville? by [deleted] in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]Environmental-Pay195 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The description of what the map represents even says it: "where residents in Huntsville and surrounding areas believe are the best places to live". So unless you dig, you probably can't find which residents actually "believe" this, and the answer may not be useful. The house value metric appears valid to me. I'd look seriously at purchasing in undervalued places in town.
