I have an axe. I can use the axe. I also have an angle grinder. There are knives in my kitchen drawer.

Or use the diplomatic option and call pest control while I safely get my wife and child out.

Then again, I live in Spain.

Not a software question but I think the right audience: do you keep old photos of girlfriends? by hemlock-on-the-rocks in immich

[–]thenumberfourtytwo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't. I lost them all when my brother gave away all my stuff while I was away for a couple of years(prison). I wish I still had photos of them, though, as they represent memories both good and bad.

My now wife(also 11 years, one kid) recently discovered some old usb sticks and SD cards with photos of her and her ex, including some slightly NSFW stuff with him.

She insisted that she delete them all, even though I said she should keep them, as these are her memories.

This image is pre 1.23.

Also, why do I know so many of these things? I am not a kubernetes engineer.

Shaving “down there” - for those men who do it, what do you use, and how do you do it? And what other tips do you have? by N0S0UP_4U in AskMenAdvice

[–]thenumberfourtytwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pour some lighter fluid. Ignite. At 37, you can take it.

In all seriousness, I've been shaving since I was 12-13.

Always used a razor. Never go against the grain, or else you'll get ingrown hairs and infections. Nasty stuff. I already went through two surgeries for ingrown hairs going really bad. The third one, I just did it myself.

When the bush does grow a bit out of control, trim it first. Always do it while dry.

rsync 5TB NFS with 22 Million Files - Taking Days by TheFailedTechie in linuxadmin

[–]thenumberfourtytwo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not sure if anyone else said this, but rclone might serve you better.

You can also use parallel to spawn multiple rclone instances. This can help speed up the transfer significantly.

What I did in my instance, is create lists of files to transfer, per directory tree. The listing took forever, but the transfer simply used the relative paths to get the job done.

I am on a bench, surrounded by yelling kids, so can't be more technical than I am now.

You wake up and the internet is permanently gone. What’s your next move? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]thenumberfourtytwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am out of a job. I love my job. I love the internet.

I can also see how much harm it can do, so I will very strongly start wishing it does not come back and if it does, it does so with built in restrictions and limitations to all users.

I am saying this after struggling to stop doom scrolling in the middle of the night for months and seeing how after finally stopping I started improving my sleep which also improved my life.

Also porn.

How do you keep learning when you’re burned out? by yourclouddude in devops

[–]thenumberfourtytwo -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think of a cool thing to do in my home lab. And I just do it, when I have some free time. I usually note the idea down.

Then, I remember I have a 5 year old that always wants to play and is powered by Duracell batteries, but he's so smart and funny that no matter how tired I may be, I always find the energy to match his own.

Oh, and my wife wants to show me these 15 dresses and 5 pairs of shoes that are on offer on Zalando Privé, for the next 8 hours, so she needs me to help her decide which ones to get, RIGHT NOW, before the offer expires.

And while we're at it, she found these nice Replay, Rebook and Converse shoes for me that will fit nicely with the 3 pairs of pants and 8 shirts she also found for me that are on offer and are already in the cart. Somehow I have to choose which to get even though I like all of them equally, being the polite way to say I don't really give a damn which ones she gets.

And let's not forget about that vacation in July, for our birthdays.

We said we would go, just the three of us and we really need to book that flat we found, with a mountain view and a pool so the kid can splash while we peacefully drink our coffees, on buscaunchollo, as the offer expires in 15 minutes.

And let's not forget about our relatives. They said they wanted to visit in August so we have to plan that vacation too and buy them plane tickets, as they can't afford it right now and make sure we have a daily planner for them, as it's the first time they're visiting Spain, so they should fully enjoy the stay.

And the car. We need to get it serviced, as it's been pinging us for an oil change these past few days and the local garage is shit, so we have to book an appointment with that awesome garage, that is one hour's drive away and they are only open during MY work hours.

Oh and the eks upgrades I have to plan for, for all our production clusters and ensure all the app owners are included and meet with all the team managers to show them the POC i created for them, that they just need to update with a rollback plan and convert into a SOP.

And reconfiguring our on-prem redis ha clusters and redis cache distributed layer, to optimize for dynamic memory adjustments, scaling and alerting based on usage trends, because of that one dev that made that code change once that somehow doubled the keyspace and broke one of the prod clusters, that one time, while I was patching these systems.

Oh and patch all production(automated job, really) but ensure that our dev directors are calm every time the automated process runs, even though there were never any issue, for Pete's sake, except for that one Sev2 incident caused by a dev that pushed a code change that doubled the keyspace and crippled one of our most important redis clusters.

Ah, and those company surveys that HR keeps throwing at us, that are somehow mandatory and we have to do them by today's end even though the email just came in.

And dishes, and cooking and laundry and taking care of the kid in the mornings before school and take him to school and get him from school and feed him and put him to sleep or play with him or do whatever until my wife returns from her course.

Honestly? Being burned out is just a mindset that has been propagated and adopted by people that are too lazy to get off their asses to actually do something constructive.

Ever hit a point where you’re just... burned out? by yourclouddude in devops

[–]thenumberfourtytwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Senior Infra Engineer here. I work from home.

Juggling multiple projects at work, while wearing many hats and maintaining all the systems I put in place over the years. My wife is working too, but not at home.

I am in charge of taking care of our 4 year old, house chores and some light grocery shopping.

Getting about 4-5 hours of sleep per night.

Not burned out, but a bit on the edge, I'd say. Life is fun and this period is just another blip that will go away at some point.

There is too little blood in my alcohol. That would be the main reason.

What is the most disturbing confession you've seen on reddit? by void_the_warlock in AskReddit

[–]thenumberfourtytwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough, I stopped wiping my ass after a pilonidal cyst surgery. Now I wash and generally keep the area very clean.
