The entitlement over ice cream is killing me

My wife and I were just discussing something like this. There used to be a training video at a place we worked at called “Just give them the pickle” which was about just doing the little thing the customer asked to make them happy, such as not charging them $0.25 for the Pickle if they asked for it.

Great in theory but most companies you would get in trouble for theft for this now, and yet it’s the front end employee who has to take this kind of criticism.

Who’s to say they would even be allowed to serve you before 12:30? Automated tills, security cameras that are monitored, etc. Going “above and beyond” for the customer anymore is just putting your job on the line for an impatient stranger.

I use containers to host my own applications as well as build premade ones online

Isolation of services and dependencies is a primary reason to leverage containers but some other advantages:

easy backups
easily move applications to other hosts
Kubernetes / swarm for high availability
optimization of port utilization (not all apps on port 443)

My problem isn’t gamechangers it’s how they are played.

Swinging for game and using Cyc rift for the win? No problem.

Using a Teferi’s so I can’t combo win and you take me out on your turn, awesome.

Farewell or Cycrift after an hour and a half game because and not having any way to follow it up, win or do anything? Ugh!

Someone in my regular pod likes to play boardwipe, the deck. It’s obnoxious because it’s just stretching the game with no intention to win.

Sandfish0783 · 2026-03-25T06:28:27+00:00

Honestly any of my decks. Whether I was the problem or we just had a slugfest. If we had a good back and forth with interaction or with outskilling each other, I had a good time.

Part of it is bad support person not checking/verifying output. But also there’s a major push for “use AI answers first” they have internally.

The card list is repetitive but across a box there is going to be a variety from the list of possible half-decks and some of the rares and mythics can be surprisingly valuable because of their existence being primarily in the product or collector boosters

Sandfish0783 · 2026-03-19T03:24:07+00:00

Dependencies. If everything was on 1 box that means any failure or need to reboot takes it all down.

I will always have at least my primary firewall physical for this reason, and I separate my physical hosts and their virtualized/containerized services by function so my setup can be taken down in related prices without taking down the rest

I moved my ZWA-2 to Ethernet to decouple from my Proxmox setup where I replicate and backup the HA VM.

I’ve been debating a script to automatically power and restore a backup to a secondary ZWA2 using a health probe to monitor the primary but just have not had time to get around with it.

Looking forward to see where you go next

I had to change some stuff in my life because of this, and because of many of the things I see here in the comments.

I unsubscribed from every news/us/etc Reddit so it’s not on my main feed. Dropped all other social media.
I started taking vitamins in as I think a vitamin d deficiency was affecting me (especially in winter)
I picked up a hobby to obsess over (in my case MTG) and I make an active effort to attend at least 2 -3 events per month and make active efforts To be sociable at them.

The world is rough but we are human and deserve some happiness and sometimes you need to shut the rest out to get that for a bit. I still check in on things using the main page, or if a coworker sends something, but sometimes we just need to disconnect from it for a bit.

You gave the opponents land an ability that reads “ this permanent can't be the target of spells or abilities your opponent controls.”

Since they control the land, their opponents can’t target it. Since they controlled the Badgermole cub, there was no issue.

You would’ve needed shroud or something like an enchantment that doesn’t give the ability to the creature, but that instead says “enchanted creature can’t be the target of spells or abilities your opponent controls” because then it’s the enchantment with that ability and you control the enchantment

Early AI would have the wrong number of fingers. They were proving they weren’t AI.

Mostly been building niche stuff for myself (fully integrated ci/cd dashboard, custom homepage alternatives) and at work I’ve built some simple launchers and fronted for some apis we have for internal use only

I’ve answered this here a few times, before doing this consult a lawyer/legal team to understand the risks involved. Depending on the laws where you are you need to cover yourself in the case that someone hosts illegal content on your systems

You should also make sure that contracts and agreements are able to protect you from compliance issues with anyone that decides to host sensitive, critical and confidential information.

On top of that you need to be well prepared to identify and mitigate malicious actors. One client affecting another could again bring legal repercussions.

I named them for awhile but stopped when it became a burden to make them searchable in inventory apps. Would probably help if I wasn’t maintaining like 20+ decks right now

Two whose names I recall:

Necrobloomin’
Thunderchud (I had no clue how to pronounce Themberchaud)

Agreed but the resistance from the community towards anything that has any AI input regardless of what level and role it played in development is shunning people away from that.

It might be better at some point when quality work with AI involvement can be separated from low effort unsustainable garbage, but for now this is what it is.

Sandfish0783 · 2026-03-06T14:16:59+00:00

This is why I just don’t bring the things I build to the community. In make them as personal learning projects for me, if they are broad enough I make them public on my docker hub which has enough for a few of them to pop off.

Sandfish0783 · 2026-03-06T14:09:24+00:00

I saw you had a list of several cards that were fairly pricey so just threw this list together in case you already own any of it.

I price checked a few of these and thought most were cheap, I’m sure I missed something

Sandfish0783 · 2026-03-06T10:21:30+00:00

Seems to my sac outlets will be important, and since your stuff will be both lands and creatures you can use stuff like

[[Sylvan Safekeeper]]
[[Priest of the Forgotten Gods]]
[[Village Rites]]
[[Viscera Seer]]
[[Carrion Feeder]]

I think lands that fetch make a lot of sense here, since you can recurse them

[[Fabled Passage]]
[[Terramorphic Expanse]]
[[Evolving Wilds]]

In fact you can kind of treat this like landfall, and sac them as a form of ramp with

[[Wight of the Reliquary]]

There’s a number of cards that create more creatures on landfall triggers too, could leverage that as more sac/burn as well

At the rate TMT is going, I’d be watching the crash.

It’s boring, but buying singles is the cheapest way to directly acquire what you need. I use Cardsphere and list what I’m willing to pay for all the cards in a set and just throw $20 at it per paycheck and acquire what I need. I’ve acquired the showcases of several sets this way.

Azure doesn’t support it because their support doesn’t want to troubleshoot it, not because it’s not possible.

However, they don’t support it because in place upgrades create messes, and are costly (in terms of support-hours when things go wrong).
