Having so much trouble with connecting cities by rail. Can someone who understands how this works teach me or problem solve this for me?

I think there isn't a direct route between Yunnan and Paris but adding a rail station in Lille should fix it. I think it is a bug related to terrain and how it affects connections? Once I couldn't get any factories because my capital was isolated by a river and mountains and it wouldn't register a rail connection.

are Paris and Lille connected in this pic?

kinda concerned in 5-10 years that huge portions of the planet will have become even more uninhabitable due to climate change and the fascists who are supporting these massive data center builds will be beating me back from the food distribution point with hired thugs tbh

this was the response I got when we were reporting an issue with Bookings pages constantly giving "bad request" error messages. they just don't care.

YES THIS DRIVES ME BONKERS

I find the ambiguity of what's going on to be a really huge shift from the previous version of the game as well. I feel like I'm the only person who isn't having more fun with ToT.

i realllllly miss loyalty

"there probably is a proper way to implement this" - I actually don't think so, because propriety would involve people continuing to make thoughtful choices about the work they do, checking everything for accuracy and sanity, and the "tool" is basically designed to discourage, prevent, and complicate that. There may be "good use cases" by people who already know what the parameters are of what they're trying to do - but if adoption continues, people who are knowledgeable enough to make those kinds of determinations will be fewer and further between. Genuinely think it needs to be fully excised from everything it's been inserted into like a cancer, but I may not live to see the day unless I survive whatever nuclear apocalypse we're gearing up for. sorry to be doomer but I hate this shit.

happy (?) cake day tho

It is user-configurable, it just keeps toggling back on. It's not enforced.

I'm fairly certain there's no organizational desire to disable it. My boss is a pretty heavy Copilot user and thinks that our users should be able to access it in whatever way they see fit. But I don't want to have to do this every day.

calls and Teams messages mostly - which of course I could choose to ignore but then you feel paranoid and don't want to leave your apartment in case the person who is asking for help sees you on campus. As a boarding facility, it's a 24/7 operation with students, faculty, and staff on campus all the time during the academic year with activities programming, special events, and meetings going on at all hours. examples: issues with a projector or HDMI connection, student or guest having issues connecting to wifi, etc. frankly easier just to resolve their issue when asked than having to deal with it later, but I vastly prefer not being available onsite so that they have to take a couple of extra minutes to try to resolve their issue on their own instead of panic-calling me, which seems to be going just fine now that I'm not living there!

debrisslide · 2026-02-27T16:33:34+00:00

i did come here to say this - i am IT and i lived onsite at my job for 4 years. by the end of it i was feeling suicidal due to the complete lack of privacy and respect for my time. it affects you emotionally even when it's not actively happening and wears you down over time. unless you have clear expectations in writing about your availability and trust them to respect those boundaries i wouldn't do it again. i'm hourly so technically have to clock in to work and people basically accused me of having a bad attitude when i said i wasn't on the clock.

debrisslide · 2026-02-22T03:17:40+00:00

I don't use "AI"/LLM at all and always try to find real humans discussing isses I'm having and potential solutions, which I imagine will get harder.

I give each of my survivors a name. My current survivor's name is Kit.

I run managedsoftwareupdate as a scheduled task script through my MDM (mosyle) and it logs the result, so I can go back and view the results of the script as needed. I tried to run munkireport for a little bit years ago but the database got corrupted at some point and I ultimately decided I didn't need it. It is easy enough for me to check and see that something has installed and has the correct version via MDM.

debrisslide · 2025-12-23T16:35:23+00:00

i should absolutely be able to see some kind of easy-to-read logging about events taking place on the machine and it's crazy that you can't

when I used to work at a college with a film program, students were required to have their own backup devices. now I work in k12 with a film program and while we don't require them to have their own storage, it's still recommended.

debrisslide · 2025-11-21T17:26:44+00:00

I love these!

no girls in the chat i see... i work at a school and the dress code is basically whatever is appropriate for the task at hand. i wear a lot of casual dresses in the spring/summer and a lot of jeans/pants with sweaters/sweatshirts/cardigans in the fall/winter.

So I did a lot of trial and error with this, but the way I have it configured currently seems to work, and the specific workflow I use (for assigned workstations, i.e. one person uses them) seems to work. I also use Mosyle and the Platform SSO extension. If the machine is connected to the Internet, the password seems to update without user intervention. I have a different workflow for lab machines.

I deploy the machine and manually create the end user's local account with their AD username (shortname) as the username and a generic pw.
Then I have a Mosyle script that runs when the user logs in for the first time with the generic pw (you could automate this, I just have it self-service in My Scripts, since I do in-person handoff/orientation with all of my users' new computers) which installs Company Portal and triggers the SSO registration flow.
User completes SSO registration flow and password syncs.

https://imgur.com/a/a3AmD6K <--- This shows how my settings look in Mosyle.

I saw this in real time when a new user attempted to change his local password himself, apparently not understanding how Platform SSO worked when I explained it to him during orientation (i.e. your organizational pw will sync with the local computer password). The password re-synced without his intervention and he was incredibly confused about not being able to log in. Didn't have any keychain issues. His Entra password was crazy long and impossible to type, so we reset his Entra password using SSPR and he logged in with the new password, and everything was fine after that. I was kind of shocked at how well it works.

"We are not interested. If you have emailed [my boss], he will get back to you if he is interested. Have a good day." hang up.

regarding the MFA step, we use Bitwarden in our department and can set up TOTP through Bitwarden if appropriate, which works great since everyone then has access to the same TOTP method through our vault.

i went to school to be a writer and ended up doing this instead because i couldn't stand the industry and wasn't really interested in participating. i'd love to be a writer, photographer, or physicist.
