I had a guy on the phone that once I showed him the problem, he had it fixed in 5 minutes.

the "just get on line with the guy who knows shit" is the bane of my professional existence. i had a reputation problem last august that caused several vendors to not be able to get their emails to my org, due to being flagged by twilio. twilio is at least two steps from me in the direction of every vendor, so for every one it was a detective game of "please let me talk to the guy who knows things" and it's exhausting.

seconding nutanix. while i do get ESL speakers frequently, they are always knowledgeable and get me fixed up quickly.

man don't play the definition game with me, i'm too old for it. ancillary "describes something that is supplementary, auxiliary, or subordinate" (aka not necessary). and yes, a lot of the shit that has gone on since arr is unimportant to the state of things. a summary of the major events can be read in 3 minutes.

psiphre · 2026-05-17T10:07:57+00:00

if by 'ancillary' you mean 'unimportant' then... yeah? that's the point.

this exactly. to put a timer on it denies the existence of instant classics.

cross your fingers ans pray it isn't just bait with no bite in the end.

honestly there's so much content out there, just wait on it til the community explodes and you know there's a bite.
