Imagine having a job where you can spew buzzword-y bullshit like this all day and never have to show anything for it.

If I promise something in a daily, I better have at least an experimental implementation for it a week later.

Yep, that can happen. At that point everything installation related should already be unmounted, so just power it off hard and be done.

Or just press AltGr-Print-S to emergency sync the disks and AltGr-Print-B to the reboot hard, magic sysrq keys.

That sentence does not make any sense whatsoever. SATA and SAS are hot pluggable as well.

“Interesting.”

Yes. Likely and unfortunately correct.

I fear the day that man dies. I hope I have lost interest in gaming at that point.

“We value our customers privacy”

I mean, I can imagine that. I’m sure they know the exact market value of every behavioral data point they can extract from me and the negative impact my desire for privacy has on that value.

The correct answer is to raise both hands and eyebrows, excuse yourself from the table, walk off and keep walking until sufficient distance has been reached. Switching mode of transportation on the way is acceptable.

Yeah, I’m just staying away from that. There are enough other things that can end up in my frying pan with less crawling through the woods while hanging my continued existence on my ability to read and memorize two books worth of not-plant-descriptions.

I’m trying, I’m trying.

Usually, yes, I am a bit tempted here though.

If it’s in muscle memory, I think you should look into automation.

Living in the boonies in Germany: Not going to happen. But whenever I’m in a city, the car usually gets stored in a car park for the time I’m there. Way too annoying compared to public transportation.

Buy a modern electric vehicle. You can charge at home on your own plug.

And then my car started displaying ads for subscription services.

Okay, I took that personally, documented it and filed a complaint with the KBA as this started to become a security issue, can’t have the navmap disappear in the middle of a busy intersection. And then that shit stopped again. And as soon as the car is out of warranty, the USB connection to the data modem gets disconnected. I’m lucky enough that that’s still a possibility, but if it weren’t, 🤷

How about a relatively liquid glue injected into the speaker housing? That should solve that permanently.

I’m so glad my house is inorganic from the ground up to the roof timber. Yes, wet spots would nourish mold, but the concrete and the bricks themselves wouldn’t be much affected by it. Or termites! Imagine having a house that could be rendered unusable by an overlooked insect problem. I just don’t like the idea.

If you’re rooted enough in your life to just recognize the problem and fix it, yes. But for all the younger, inexperienced people, a sprinkle of compassion and help on top of being strict is a good idea, otherwise some or most of them can’t ever reach that point.

As German comedian Volker Pispers said: “It’s important to know who the enemy is. If you know the enemy, every day has a proper, basic structure.”

You, sir, have a way with words.

Jeesus Christ Lemmy.

Never get high on your own supply. Just good business sense.
