    When a student goes to school, the school becomes in loco parentis and the student doesn’t have protection from school officials. Children, on campus, general do not have protection for free speech, protection from unreasonable searches or seizures, or really any of their rights.

    The school, acting as parents, can restrict their speech, search their bags, and confiscate contraband.

    The school can even waive most of the child’s rights even when dealing with law enforcement until parents arrive.



  • On her computer, why not just use Thunderbird on it? Or even outlook, or whatever she likes. She just needs to pick the software.

    On her phone, or even yours, why the stuff with accessing Thunderbird through vnc. Just add the server to whatever mail app on your phones?

    If you want a web based thing, roundcube or sogo. But Thunderbird is gonna suck the way you are trying to use it.


  • Stupid rspamd default config on my server blocked an email confirming an order from rayban I guess because it was the first time it saw an email from them? Couldn’t even release it, which annoyed me greatly.

    And it also put a confirmation from a hotel into quarantine because the resort didn’t have a valid spf record. But at least I could release that one.

    I ended up making it much more permissive as a result. But it was super annoying.


  • Lol as if cutting my lawn is fun. Or that I’d even want to join your party.

    It’s hypocritical to think that your loud noise when Im trying to sleep is okay but my loud noise when you are trying to sleep isn’t.

    But this is life living with other people that don’t sleep the same hours as you. Sometimes shit is going to inconvenience you, and I’ll do what I can to minimize it. But I’ve got shit I need to get done too and I’m just not going to not do it because it might suck for someone for an hour of their week.


  • Cool. No loud parties after 9pm then? Or is inconveniencing my sleep okay because you do it at night?

    I’ve got one day a week I can do yard work, and only until 9am until it hits over 90° out. Sorry, buddy. But you might have to deal with some noise. Wish we could all live in perfect harmony. But until then you have to deal with some shit you don’t like and I have to deal with some shit I don’t like and we’ll do our best to not inconvenience each other too bad.


  • Mindful and considerate, yes. But that doesn’t mean I put my entire day on hold for people that don’t get up until 10 or 11.

    8am is pretty reasonable start to the day for me.

    But I also believe that people bitching and saying no loud noises before 10am are being just as selfish as the people who get up and do yardwork at 6am. If someone has a problem or some extraordinary reasons for wanting it to stay quiet later, they can talk to each other and try to find a compromise.

    And out of 7 days, if you are only being inconvenienced for a couple hours maybe that’s something you should be more tolerant of.





  • Fucking tech solutions to a manager problem. The manager should care about the metrics of wait time and client satisfaction.

    If waits are low and satisfaction is high. Then who gives fuck all about what techs do in between calls.

    Metrics like calls per tech or average length of calls could be used to better understand tech efficiency. Or even rings before pickup. A good pbx can help ensure calls are relatively equally spread between techs. This helps keep one tech from over working for another slacking off. You can have utilization goals so that you aren’t under or over staffed (I’m of the opinion that a techs utilization should be roughly 75-80% and they should have downtime in their shifts to prevent burnout.)

    It’s stupid, inhumane, and impossible to expect an employee to track, bill, and work 100% of their shift.

    Luca sucked, turning red had positive reviews but wasn’t memorable, Coco had some great songs and some staying power, encanto rode high on Lin Manuel Miranda’s lyrics, and Moana was strong.

    Strange worlds fell flat, Elemental failed, Wish flopped, Lightyear was a let down, Raya and the Last Dragon was only “fine”, and Rons Gone Wrong was forgettable, but mostly good.

    Not to mention their live action failures.




  • You can get an older model Samsung Evo 1tb SSD new for under $100. Those have been good drives for me.

    You can probably find something to shuck used if you don’t care too much for reliability.

    Regardless, get a second disk even something attached to your main PC to handle backups.

    RPi are nice, but imo are getting expensive and if you aren’t using the i/o pins just not worth it. If I were to just start out again I’d pickup a used laptop. Higher specs than a RPi and built in battery backup.
