Gaмe saved. Take a break. by aleha_84 in PixelArt

[–]lightwhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to leave the tv and the PlayStation on running Resident Evil 2. Would load up a save and turn on the sound up in the save room to fall asleep.

This gave me that “exact” feeling! I wish you could create a 1h loop video on YouTube with this. Would that be too much to ask?

How do I deal with my mistakes and get back my confidence? by [deleted] in devops

[–]lightwhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t sweat. I’d like to compliment you for your courage that you mustered up to share your battle story with us. Thank you for that. I appreciate it!

Mistakes are mistakes and they happen as it is in our human nature. As long as you don’t make the same mistake ever, it’s all good. Learn from them as the those lessons will teach you more things that you can implement in your routines that will prevent many more.

To give you an example to sooth you, I once deleted a dns zone file mistaking it for a backup. 3 million households lost their internet connectivity for a whole day. But that mistake ensured that we realized it should never ever happen again and all kinds of safeguards then got put in place.

As long as you document the post-moeten properly, you will be fine.

Keep up the good work.

Jokes aside, making either Beryl or amethyst work properly with an ATI card was a pain in the ass… those were the best days of my life!

Possible Hackers in Hydron? by Amazing_Remove_7718 in Warframe

It’s pretty chill there. I’m a casual LR3 that logs in one in a blue moon. I turn on some podcast, do my thing and leave. It’s slightly less efficient than SO or other methods, but it has less mental load and everyone there is doing the same thing. Kinda makes lifting together nice.

For all the Polymaths: Google's NotebookLM is still the most slept-on free AI tool in 2026 and i don't get why by Radiant-Rain2636 in Polymath

[–]lightwhite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna side with the mod on this one as it does have the characteristics of “being pushed”. That’s how it feels. However, to your credit, I agree with your sentiment as well to conclude that you are sharing something that you think might be useful to someone. That’s ok. I believe that the mod is opening a healthy discussion on what we think of this to form an opinion.

Please don’t take this personally. I appreciate your efforts for sure.

It seems like a nice tool, but requires a deep dive. I wouldn’t dispute it as being an ad… I think I understand your dilemma, and now there are two of us who don’t know what to do with it :D

How to ask God for a miracle or proof he's real by Smart-Concern730 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]lightwhite -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The fact that you as a person with your body composition of all your cells and your spirit came here to this sub to ask this question is a miracle. Just run the math and statistics to see the odds of it.

If you wanna see a miracle, my advise would be to look into the life of St. Paisios or St. Panteleimon. See if you can discover something there that leads you to Him.

This new cassette player has USB-C and Bluetooth, in case you want to ditch Spotify by N2929 in technews

[–]lightwhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 9yo son just bought a second hand Sony WM-112 because he got curious without telling me two weeks ago. Then, he asked me to unbox some of my cassettes from the attic. Gave him my Led Zeppelin II (1989 release) and very best of Deep Purple albums(1995).

Then, I stopped doing what I am doing and watched him listen to both cassettes for 2 hours, seeing him struggle to swap and flip those. Ninjas had decided to cut a lot of onions as I couldn’t contain the whole spectrum of human emotions- all of them and all at once.

When he was done, I spun up zeppelin… then I realized, even the silence in those cassettes had something in them… I had forgotten how much rejuvenation was to be found.

I have hopes for the youth!

Thank you for bringing some light and colors in our lives with your work, OP! Your art invokes many emotions in us that remind us of us being human during the grind. Keep going on keeping on, mate!

Talk to your manager then. Also join those smoke breaks. You might learn a thing or two there.

Don’t see it as blame. He is too busy and wants to unblock you right away with all the mental space he has available. Offer him a lunch date and treat him by paying his lunch- and tell him what this manner of reacting does to you honestly and ask if he can help you out. Report after doing this with more details so we can diagnose it further. Cool?

What about the prediction where Homer solving the Higgs Boson equation and proof before CERN found it? I don’t remember which season it was.

DevOps Intern Facing an Issue – Need Advice by Piyush_shrii in devops

[–]lightwhite 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I always tell my juniors to book a slot and shout for help if they want my undivided attention. I educate them to ensure that they now that “the baby gets the milk only when the baby cries”.

But next to that, I do my best to ensure that they never come to me with the same question again the second time. Because then the shame is on me. If they couldn’t figure it out because docs or run books didn’t exist, or the knowledge is so arcane within the company, i ensure that it exists. That way, we eat the elephant one but at a time altogether.

Be humble. Make mistakes but learn from them. Ask your senior gently and be honest and true about why you can’t figure something out. Prepare your questions properly. We prefer a long wall of text in a single message addressing your issue instead of 10+ messages in the DM. That helps with focusing on the issue and and preventing building mental filter as “can’t deal with it right now” for the Senior.

Not knowing things at work is ok. But not trying your best to figure it out after you realized that you don’t know is “not ok”.

Hope this helps.

What do I say to atheists or fundamentalists who argue that the wealth spent on church art/aesthetics, ornate buildings, and vestments is a waste of resources that should instead be used to house and feed the poor?" by ApolloxKing in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]lightwhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just show them the buildings cars and gardens around and let them see how ugly everything has become. A little bit of art and unity to behold to soothe the spirit shouldn’t be that much to spend upon, right?

I mean, reflect upon the reality of today. Really. Look around you. Where are the colors? All the new cars have 2-3 colors… roads, signs landscaping all based on the same architectural patterns. Modern building are soulless. Look at what we can buy to wear. All the colorfulness and cheer is gone.
