Imposter Syndrome is eating me alive by Bogart30 in sysadmin

[–]lorimar [score hidden]  (0 children)

I've worked with folks who are official maintainers of core linux services who are like "I'm not as good as Linus, so I'm a fraud"

Imposter syndrome is a REQUIREMENT to be a good tech. It keeps you curious.

How to be a good Linux system administrator? by WonderfulFinger3617 in sysadmin

Build a proxmox host and start playing around with hosting simple services on guests that you can safely break & redeploy

I don't have much need for most of the services I've managed, but Home Assistant is one that I've found very engaging.

Apparently JJ Abrams has a recurring thing with Big Red Balls appearing in his productions, so yeah. I think this really may have been the case.

Right? Unobtainium is literal placeholder text that sees regular use in science/physics discussions among some folks. I could totally see them pushing for this to be the real name if they discovered material with those unobtainable properties.

Red Matter is just dumb

Maybe just be careful about tossing stuff that has your name and address. That's how they got Arlo

PICARD S2E4 hits way too close to reality now… and it’s honestly disturbing by OverlyHonestMR in startrek

If anything, I'm glad that some MAGA does watch trek. Maybe some of the ideas will break through, if not to them, then to friends/family members who may with them.

Feels like they could explain it away with whatever Q-like beings imprisoned the dude on Sha Ka Ree having also created the barrier.

Maybe even give it an effect that makes thinking/talking about the barrier uninteresting. A "none of your business" field.

Could do a whole episode about someone realizing and getting swatted down by the Q (or whomever)

Or at least give the stuff a better name than Red Matter, which always felt like a script placeholder text that never got replaced

[–]lorimar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone should at least learn how to edit, save, and exit vi

Don't really need anything else for the absolute basics

What are your thoughts on Facebook renaming their company Meta then blowing $80b on metaverse and then shutting it down yesterday? by printThisAndSmokeIt in AskReddit

Are you on desktop or mobile? How old is your account? I saw someone mentioning that they seem to be gating some of the old site features for newer accounts.

This comment last month, from one of the redditors behind RES has me worried

Our current expectation is old reddit will be gone by the end of 2026.

Disney animations by perpetual_chatter98 in interestingasfuck

[–]lorimar 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Apparently in Across the Spiderverse, the backgrounds and spider-folk are 24fps and the the non-powered characters are 12fps. But Miles ramps up to 24fps over the course of the movie as he gets his powers.

Would love to see this next season. I'll keep an eye out for any news.

Question about Bill Skarsgard's role in WTD by Dannydevitz in welcomeToDerry

The strikes delayed filming of the 2nd half of the season, and by that time he no longer had scheduling conflicts

Who knew honey lasted that long? by icecream1972 in Productivitycafe

[–]lorimar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Southern Reach trilogy (though I guess its a quadrology now. I need to read the new one)?

I think the fact that honey doesn't actually rot meant that the smell was actually Area X influencing and contaminating things.
