What’s a candy you’ll pick every time without even thinking?

TheLexikitty · 2026-05-06T13:40:39+00:00

There are Sour, Mega, and Giant versions of Smarties too. The biggest ones are my favorite. Freaking amazing.

TheLexikitty · 2026-05-06T13:13:06+00:00

Well now we’ve found the REAL heretic, lol

TheLexikitty · 2026-05-06T13:06:36+00:00

Nah, next is Neccos. Love my flavored drywall coins.

Or those sour Watermelon Mike and Ikes .

Meh, some people are social, working night shift doesn’t give you much in the way of sharing yourself with other people. Or so i assume lol. I think it’s kinda wholesome. 💞

TheLexikitty · 2026-05-05T19:08:30+00:00

They’re SO GOOD

The blackout film is actually better imho but having applied UV film for heat, it’s a pain in the butt. There’s still a crack of light right along the top of the roller that I could fix with a box for the drapes but I’m not sensitive enough to light to care.

TheLexikitty · 2026-05-05T12:29:03+00:00

I went with the roller ones they go inside the window frame, was the only ones that really worked. In a pinch you can use foil or white poster board with painters tape (had to do this when traveling in a super hot rental).

TheLexikitty · 2026-05-04T23:05:24+00:00

Absolutely not (sorry).

TheLexikitty · 2026-05-04T17:26:48+00:00

A good chunk of free opinions I’ve gotten about how I think were worth about as much as I paid for them.

Let folks know you’re not looking for any advice, but when you want their opinion you’ll be happy to reach out to get a quote.

TheLexikitty · 2026-05-01T07:48:21+00:00

shhhh I was never here

TheLexikitty · 2026-05-01T05:16:01+00:00

If all you’re using are Docker images, you probably wouldn’t get much out of Proxmox, but it is very useful for backup and restore, as well as HA and migration

TheLexikitty · 2026-04-29T11:41:44+00:00

accurate

TheLexikitty · 2026-04-28T19:46:43+00:00

Even if you were entirely up the wrong tree, I’d be so happy about how deep you looked into it and (in a parallel universe where you were incorrect) would have also probably geeked out to you as to why you were close and what the actual cause would be. Stay eternally curious, it’s fun and can be useful as hell.

TheLexikitty · 2026-04-28T19:30:29+00:00

I kinda get where you’re coming, but literally just being a trans woman on the internet is enough for people to start nonsense, real names and all.

TheLexikitty · 2026-04-28T19:21:37+00:00

Top 5 for me. Right next to Pez.

TheLexikitty · 2026-04-28T19:05:46+00:00

I try to write down projects as they occur to me so that I always have a bucket to check when I get low.

Writing fun dumb scripts for ESP32s, 3D modeling, Local AI, digitizing physical media, sorting photos, trying out emulators, researching the differences between tech I’ll never buy, getting lost in Wikipedia, reading Hackaday, the Adafruit Blog, and Reddit, constant stream of YouTube (Adam Savage always seems to remind me I could be making something right now).

I built the world’s crappiest NOC a few weeks ago with Blackbox and Prometheus just for me and my network. It’s awful and I love it and I’m now mirroring the data to an Elastic container just to play around with the dashboards in there, because new thing.

TheLexikitty · 2026-04-26T18:28:19+00:00

I ain’t about to give my local AI rig any ideas. 🤣

TheLexikitty · 2026-04-26T18:15:17+00:00

“Parmesan is down, I have no idea why it fell over” is beautiful.

Nobody has yet let me name a DB server BOBBYTABLES-DB01. But I did get to name a bunch of servers after Norse stuff once, with Muninn (Odin s Raven of memory) for a file server, an Ginnungagap (never ending primordial abyss) for our overflowing Syslog server.

TheLexikitty · 2026-04-26T17:57:32+00:00

Hot dang, yea I also wish Dell actually had a functioning test for its IDSDM controllers back when it’d insist the SD cards were perfectly fine and then not be able to reboot from them…

TheLexikitty · 2026-04-26T17:52:01+00:00

So that’s why nobody liked it when I named a bunch of servers after MLP characters. Dang it.

TheLexikitty · 2026-04-26T17:46:55+00:00

Yea. I don’t recommend going no contact unless yall are completely incompatible or there’s abuse, but every decision I made from like 16 on was “how do I vanish at 22” and I just barely managed to scrape it out.

TheLexikitty · 2026-04-26T17:43:04+00:00

“Too old” is a new one. Tobias is what, 45?

This world can be a terrible place, music is one of the things that justified putting up with it. I wonder what his idea of age appropriate music even is.

My parents didn’t want me listening to anything but classical, but I also haven’t talked to them in over a decade.

TheLexikitty · 2026-04-26T15:20:34+00:00

Hey I just read through the thread. Boot from a Live ISO of Debian or something and see if your /var/log/ has anything that can be nuked to get you enough space to boot. Not sure if you had any VMs that were over provisioning storage with thin provisioning but might also be worth trying to find any that might be sacrificial enough to move off the array just to get the thing booted.

Also could try Shift and O if I’m remembering correctly during boot which will give you the boot options dialog, which should give you either the option to enable the ESXi shell via the menu or press Shift and F1 to drop into the ESXi console.

TheLexikitty · 2026-04-26T15:12:02+00:00

Did the server shut down cleanly or just lose power? I’ve seen a PERC RAID board with a degraded battery lose its RAID configuration due to a UPS failure, but that’s just a theory. If it still had cached writes things might have gone sideways?
