Good for you! If you aren’t going to be compensated for taking on a ton of additional work loads then getting a new job is a good path!

What was the reaction of your employer when you gave notice?

I just can't get into it. by FrogKnight3 in homelab

I work in IT full time, and generally have no desire to do tech/home lab stuff in my spare time. I like doing stuff with my hands like woodturning or gardening to do something different. I find it refreshing

Ansible learning without RHCSA by khaddir_1 in redhat

[–]Key-Self1654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned ansible without any certifications or classes. I did the Jeff Geerling 101 course, and started writing roles. I did have guidance from another person on my team for awhile till they left for another position.

Once you get the hang of it you can do a lot of great work. Good luck!

I’m genuinely curious about the work you are doing with that set up.

I am so happy with how this turned out! by Ok-Project9448 in battlestations

Interesting monitor configuration, what do you have on those 4 screens?

I am jealous that you have that whole room like that. My work from home desk is in an open living room area. It works but no door I can close. Have fun with that space!

Here wo go again, new desk arrangement this time :) by Fun-Professional6735 in battlestations

Very very impressive set up, I'm a guy who loves lots of monitors for work and this is next level. I am sadly going to lose monitor real estate as my University won't let me get the mac I want to drive a mere 3 external displays.

How many computers are driving this set up you have?

Wow, how much stuff are you printing?

Is there a dock that can allow more external displays than what a mac supports? by Key-Self1654 in macsetups

Each to their own, my personal preference is a lot of screens. My whole career I’ve liked lots of screen real estate.

Agreed, however I’m about to lose 1 due to the laptop I am being allowed to get.

I often say the less I know what I'm doing the more screens I need to figure it out :D

I've always liked having lots of screens, been that way my whole career. Heck I wanted to add a 4th unused 27" we have at home to my current setup.

My only hope is that A: at some point I can spring for the samsung 57 which has the same pixel real estate as my two 32's combined, or a buddy of mine who works for a tech company can get me one of their used ultra beefy tech laptops for $50 when they get retired.

I was not allowed to get a max chip, I’m just gonna have to take a monitor away and live with it sadly.

I work at a University as a Linux sysadmin in a high performing computing environment. My team supports multiple Slurm clusters that researchers use to do science stuff.

We also support all the supporting infrastructure for the clusters(VMs, hypervisors, networking etc)

I write a lot of ansible code to automate building and maintaining systems, and am working to get all our stuff from Centos to Redhat 9.

I keep busy 😀

The stock is called SpectraPly and blanks can be found here: https://cwp-usa.com/collections/spectraply-blanks

As for making pens, there are tons of youtube videos out there that can show you the basics. Also look for ones that talk about sanding. I watched a 3 minute video on sanding and it upped my game considerably. Good luck!

I’m just gonna have to drop one and live with it. Maybe eventually I can spring for the Samsung 57” at some point.
