People still believe weird stuff today. Like the article says

many people in early societies believed that a woman’s womb wandered throughout her body, causing a variety of medical problems by making contact with other organs like the lungs, liver, and brain.

And just a few years ago an Indian coworker told me his bellybutton had shifted, and why he needed to get his belly button in the right zone to feel healthier.

Just bad doctors. I’ve met many whose careers are based on treating these disorders (or symptom of a disorder)

The Yast2 GUI system admin tools made my transition from Windows super easy. It was like the Windows old school control center. You can change your kernel boot parameters via GUI, adjust services and the enabled/disabled and other stuff via GUI, add or remove packages with check marks. You could probably do everything without touching the command line.

A lot of that has now moved to a cockpit-client launcher, which is just OK, doesn’t have the same buttons and knobs as YAST.

So what Trump is doing

Plate of stainless (the non rusting kind) and laser cut a QR like code through it like a stencil. If they can’t get a good read on the plate with a camera, you can lay the plate down on paper and spray or dab stencil paint through the holes to form a flat image on paper of your QR

It is weird to me that adults can’t follow expectations or even clear instructions

That many employees and still a janky W11 experience. They should start at the top maybe.

Yep, or I have seen staff heckling an old guy because the tip of his case wheels stuck outside of the sizing device, while some moron with a hockey bag sized duffel walks on and nobody days anything.

One flight was packed and so the host was asking everyone to turn their bag sideways in the overhead as we boarded, and while saying this over and over people still were laying them flat. I said “This must get old, it is like dealing with children.” He said, “no it is worse, children listen, these adults don’t.”

In one way it is a simpler task to fix a single tool, than update a bunch of complex tools that suffer a problem.

BUT this was before the GIT method of pulling changes into a main branch, so maybe nowadays it doesn’t matter as much as their is much less effort updating a bunch of tools for a problem, than manually editing and recompiling.

Srill when we talk to users about our software use we alsways recommend using as much out of the box functions to get done what you need, rather than coding new tools for the Open API. Because a software update (should) fix all your workflow and automation that you have leveraged, rather than recoding dozens of apo addons.

Those craft apps are still getting daily updates, so assuming that continues they will reach the 99% featured parity… They are at 40%-60% so far, depending on the app.

Yeah, I went to Uni/College, and my wife says I’m the smartest person she knows (she must not know a lot of people). Her own personal motto is “Im cute not smart” But if its Tetris or Scrabble she is going to win every single time, and by a lot. She played Tetris every single day as a kid, and has an amazing Scrabble skill.

Those are artificial rules and boundaries in a game Life and work often follows no rule or boundary, and you have to adapt to new information.

The trouble is you can have a kid who’s parents taught them chess and all they focused on was the proper moves by rote. And that kid can be shit at everything else in life.

Graduating college is less about finding the right answer, but knowing how to get to that answer and why you pick a certain method over other things. Its why the profs hound people to show their work in a problem.

I had a programmer dude working for us, he would achieve results but he (and we) never quite knew if they were valid because he had a hard time explaining how he got to certain assumptions. He had no formal college training, he just picked up stuff quickly by trial and error. It was suggested to him he go back and take a programming basics course to get the fundamentals down on how and why of projects, but he didn’t see the value in doinf it, but everyone else he reported to could see the gaps in reasoning.

So you got they college learning and they didn’t.

We were lucky that first year University classes were avaialble at highschool via a special accreditation. So Algebra, Calculus, Functions and Relations, English, and Physics courses were free.

At college I learned descriptive geometry, database design and programming, filesystem management, metallurgy, welding, moldflow analysis, etc. They all helped formulate / solidify ideas and methods of working through problems.

If they thought you were “the town counselor” then as a counselor your duty is not to divulge what people told you in confidence unless it was a crime, then you have a duty to report it.

People tend to overbuild their home system.

You can start small and as you gain experience and maybe add more servers in docker you might want to upgrade. I.e. I was file hosting on a pi4 and external drive for years with no issues. (Upgraded hardware later for Immich)

And you will want Immich (in docker ) for replacing Google photos.

But since your workload is low a NUC or small form factor PC would be fine, as long as it has space for how many drives you plan on adding. You won’t need high end computing.

OpenMediaVault was great, and made some stuff easy. But now I just use Tumbleweed and docker for more flexibility. Any Linux distro will be fine, you don’t have to use a NAS based OS, unless it has certain features you would find useful.

Yep, I think it was A&W, and we had this exact discussion at work, because the coworker wanted more beef with the 4 unit
