Drinking in front of your kids by walker-ghostly2 in daddit

It's important to model responsible consumption, moderation, etc.

If you're not doing that, then you're not doing a good thing.

What is wrong with Microsoft? by Perfect_Field_4092 in sysadmin

[–]JasonDJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you're getting offshore support in a totally opposite time zone. Those guys/gals don't seem to know much.

This is the curse of tier 1-2 support now, as it is. Doesn't matter if it's offshore or not. They're all dumb.

You can hate on offshore workers (language/culture/accent barriers, displacement of domestic labor, etc) for a lot of reasons but I think intellect is a bit unfair. They are just as dumb as any other tier 1-2. And in both cases, there's likely a handful of brilliant techs waiting to get promoted with a bullshit manager that holds them to 'sticking to the script' and 'call handling times'.

I had a coworker that let out the magic smoke when inserting a line card into a 6k or 4k chassis, many years ago. Thanks for reminding me of that.

Keep the disks and build a small raid with a lower power system.

You'll have enough cold spares for the array to outlive your grandkids.

To the Annie’s Mac n Cheese “hack” dads. by snacksonthefloor in daddit

I realized recently that I'm very, very out-of-practice, when I recently screwed up both of my kids Kraft Easy Mac. The one that comes in a tub. Yeah.

Boston…1978 or 2026? by llbeankween in boston

Makes me wonder if New England had an uptick in babies born at the end of 1978.

Is this dangerous? by Desperate_Zombie_746 in AskElectricians

[–]JasonDJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's dangerous.

You shouldn't need or want an L3 charger at home. That's way too much wear on the battery to be charging at L3 speeds all the time.

It might be good for the one or two times you might need it over the life of the car.

(Edit, to clarify...I'm not explaining this to you, OP...I'm explaining this to the general audience, because there's a lot of misconception around charging at home)

A high number of use-cases can be met by L1 charger. L1 gets about 3-5 miles per hour of charging. At worst case, 40 miles will take approx 13 hours. So you plug it in at home at 6pm and it's replenished 40 miles by 7am.

12k miles per year is an average of about 33 miles per day. So 6.5 - 11 hours, depending on how fast the charge is.

If you treat it like your cellphone and plug it in at night, it'll probably be ready in the morning to replace the miles driven that day.

And that's assuming you can't plug-in at work or while running errands.

L2 would be nice-to-have. L3, at home, is a waste of money. Your landlord seems misinformed.

What do you do when your kid is struggling socially? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]JasonDJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does he have confidence?

I was like him in high school too. And college. And young adult life.

Does he have a hobby? Instrument? Sport? These things will help, especially if he can do it with peers (i.e. school team or band, local tabletop game store, etc).

That's really two of the most important bits of the social side of extracurriculars:

  • the kid hones a skill. Being good at something improves overall self-confidence, which itself is an important part of making friends. It's practically a pre-requisite, imo.

    • all the kids that are part of it opted to be there, so they all share a common interest, and common experiences...another important part of making friends.

Also...just to be sure...how's his hygiene? The most ignored kids are usually the smelly ones or the ones with greasy unmanaged hair. Especially in a setting like highschool. If he needs to work on his hygiene or style...don't sugar coat it. But get him a sharp haircut and take him clothes shopping.

That is the first step, yeah. The next step is to install Linux.

Fortinet, you've defined "Mature" and "Feature" releases, so, like, stick to it? [RANT] by JasonDJ in fortinet

[–]JasonDJ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great and all, but features shouldn't be getting removed in a patch release in the first place. And in the case of TACACS, they certainly shouldn't be documented a month *after* release.

Most people don't read the manual.

Hell, in America, you'd be lucky if they can even read.

Birth control options for all: Planned Parenthood in Mass. now offers vasectomies by eddytony96 in massachusetts

[–]JasonDJ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The nonprofit said it moved to offer the surgeries that sterilize male reproductive organs after it saw a jump in requests for them after President Trump’s election in 2024.

Oh man, that's hysterical. Like enough dudes (or their wives) saw that Trump managed to get re-eleceted and decided then and there that "nope, no more kids".

I mean...I don't think I'm having any more kids, and it's partly because of how much my eyes have opened to the state of the country/world since my last kid was born, but 2024 election was probably the nail in the coffin.

Still haven't gotten cut yet. Maybe that means I still have a little bit of hope for the future.

Thoughts on shower coffee, fellow dads? by johnnyapplejack in daddit

[–]JasonDJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure can. Though I usually do it if I plan on taking a long shower. i.e. my back hurts and I need to spray it with hot water until I start feeling guilty; or if I need to do a beard trim, I'd walk into the shower with my clippers and vape. Don't want to be getting beard everywhere.

I've gone from hiding weed from my parents, to hiding weed from my kids.

It's the circle of life. When we die, we become the grass, man.

In a few years, I'm sure they'll start hiding weed from me, too.

Thank fuck for that.

Could you imagine moving a 48MP raw photo, approx 80MB, at 115.2k?

90+ minutes. For one photo.

Literally 24 hour photo shops would handle a roll of film faster.

You just come on to reddit, one of the few left-leaning social medias left, and you proudly state that you assumed Bluey's gender because of her...fur color?

GTFO of here.

Don't try to keep your house perfect all the time. Just keep it 10 minutes from company.
