That sounds (from a distance of course), cartoonishly silly. Of all the forms “IT for relatives” takes, yours feels like a rare one lol. Cheers.

The end there, brutal, holy shit lol. And never any acknowledgement, huh, that she basically navigated the whole scenario herself after one of these sessions?

You have some saintly patience.

When you’ve visited enough industrial plants and seen the wildly ranging safety standards and practices, the aggregated statistics just aren’t very interesting.

I’ve been to a plant, a Superfund site that supplies a material strategically necessary to the US, and which will thus never be closed - that released clouds of chlorine gas daily. Staff at the neighboring plant have to literally watch for yellow clouds and fuckin run when they see them.

Paper mills? Even just their “man lifts” (thankfully going the way of the dinosaur), something like a vertical conveyor belt where you stand on this narrow pad to rapidly ascend floors - hilariously dangerous.

Any kind of metal extraction and processing with strong acids, incidents do happen. Worst I personally observed (far from the worst I’ve heard of) I got called to remotely help assess a refining plant using lots of gross acids, after an earthquake caused a plant evacuation and an unknown cloud of mixed something started building above it.

Some of the high tech processes I’ve seen are truly chilling. Like, “no one in a 100 ft radius survives at all if this stuff gets released”.

I did that work for less than 10 years. Statistics are great, but they also hide nuance like it’s their job. Anyone who has done this kind of work understands the elevated danger, though it does vary a lot from place to place (really more industry to industry).

Neither this nor the comment you’re replying to help at all with providing v3.10 in particular. Unrelated.

(Just pointing it out for anyone later trying to solve it themselves)

If you’ve already got Docker available, testcontainers is awesome!!

I like little SQLite in-memory DBs for testing sometimes but just accepted the annoying friction of a slightly different SQL dialect (typically use PG). Testcontainers was a “have my cake and eat it too” situation, really like it.

Haha don’t sweat it, I certainly won’t be poking holes in your config. Thanks for the rundown!

I’m doing a crude version of this with a Flint 2 router and Mullvad. Don’t enjoy fiddling with my network (and upstream is unreliable for now, making troubleshooting an irritating game of crossing off doubts each time I have issues, rather than learning things better).

At the moment I just have a guest Wifi that doesn’t get VPN’ed for things like Roku devices and such (slowly migrating the home away from stuff like this).

I appreciate the always-on “blanket” traffic tunneling, a lot. But I’d like a more flexible setup - things like allowing access to Jellyfin from guest Wifi (or similar), site-specific exclusions or other workarounds for when I need to reach a banking site that has predictable VPN complaints, etc.

Not a fan of just playing house-wide VPN exit whack-a-mole each time myself or someone else experiences an issue, but maybe that’s part of the game.

Know of any good starting points for the flexibility I’m describing? Probably just need to learn LuCI and firewall and VLAN principles?

Despite sincerely understanding the parent comment’s POV, yours is the correct degree of detachment for such a crucial, life-altering (I assume) set of financial decisions.

Expanding cuz I’m apparently chatty tonight - if you trust your realtor, because your realtor can demonstrate doing their job well (both with your current experience and from prior ones with others), and you the seller lack such expertise, get out of the way and let the professional work (I’m on the clueless client end of the spectrum, to be clear).

If you do not trust your realtor, identify why and fix that immediately, this is WAY too big for well-founded misgivings. That fix ranges from fixing one’s own internal POV to firing the realtor, entirely situational (I’ve done both), but 100% critical before taking further steps. Slowing down is usually better than moving forward badly, too.

I’ve always been disturbed by the descriptions of his inability to enjoy humor and music. Those are like core to humanity, in my estimation.

I’ve known at least one legitimate dangerous psychopath, knew him quite well. He had a rich (if dark) sense of humor and legitimately interesting, opinionated taste in music. And he was the kind of person it was unsafe to be near if he was merely bored (to say nothing of angry/frustrated or worse), and you were sufficiently weaker and isolated (I never was, to be clear). He also was barely literate and mischaracterized by lots of people as profoundly unintelligent.

I’ve known other interesting individuals damaged in different unrecoverable ways, and everyone I’ve known (that remains able to interact even somewhat smoothly with others at least) has those core human pieces intact.

Trump is truly a bizarre human being, and not in one single way I can call positive. I wonder if there are others in history who were notably “deaf” to the emotional meanings of music and humor (minds structurally incapable of empathy, I’m guessing) yet still adept at social interactions and even possessing a strange almost bewitching quality among the general populace.

Even cult leaders, known for that latter quality and also lack of empathy, they tend to understand music and humor and even use them for effect in their abuses. Trump alllllmost gets there with humor, but not quite, to him it seems like just a way of attacking people that is somehow more publicly tolerated, he doesn’t ever seem to find it funny himself - just another weapon/tool to use. Weird fuckin brain on this guy (very weirdly damaged/malformed, I suspect).

It’s so much, I can only imagine. Was in DC recently and you can see his name just boldly prepended to stuff that looks way older lol, sticks out like exactly the absurdist, garish, self-evidently temporary sore thumb that it is.

I haven’t gotten the sense any of his kids have anything like the weird Trump charisma the fucker does have, so even if the country doesn’t magically get better when he’s gone, it’s just hard to see anyone taking seriously the idea that any of the renamings and such will last even 10 years.

Exception for if he gets (foolishly) martyred and they can turn his name into some weird gross symbol for a longer term hatefest.

Ah, the ever-elusive, mysterious stage in my process - the one I can’t ever seem to move much before the “planning” and at least “beginning to implement” stages, and sometimes stubbornly comes even later than that.

I think I agree with you, and I also think you probably know better than me, but - Python couldn’t become what Python became without doing this exact thing very deliberately, bordering on obnoxious at times. Fundamentals or “initial state” define the characteristic strengths and weaknesses for a language, but what to add and what not to, as well as “why” and “how”, over time determine the true shape and user experience (lacking a better word there) of a language.

Despite its reputation, in my view Python has always been far more opinionated about how to do things than most give it credit for.

Dotnet professionally and using lemmy.ml socially is hilarious to me and (sincerely) entirely consistent. Makes perfect sense, I just find it funny. (I’m not being sarcastic or attacking you, might not be clear lol)

Well, now, that’s useful, but we shouldn’t fail to mention good ol HCl, muriatic acid colloquially for this purpose, also great for cleaning oil stains from a driveway!

Happens a lot - my (quite small) shop was using NestJS for backends and my boss is way more experienced and wise than me. I unintentionally caused us to switch over to Python, which probably sounds as silly as JS to many, but - we deliver dope shit, on time and on budget 🤷‍♂️

FastAPI ftw, fight me! Lol jk Django is cool and useful and serves a different need, quite well from what I understand.

Dangit. That’s me too, I just saw your comment before posting one myself 😅

Rubbed me the wrong way too, dude is the exact opposite of AI. He IS clearly vibing in the photo however.

I haven’t bothered to actually search or troubleshoot yet, but since I’m here - have you had any problems with power management failing to automatically turn screens off when idle?

I don’t get consistent behavior there it seems (AKA it leaves them on when it shouldn’t), but that’s I think the only significant oddity I’ve found in the ~7 months or so I’ve been running Bazzite. And like I said I’ve done basically nothing yet to try to solve it, just wondering if you’ve seen it. I have the issue on a desktop and a laptop, using entirely different monitors (not even same brand) FWIW.

Yep I use KDE-flavored Bazzite and actually forgot GNOME was even offered! It works deliciously. Came over from Windows last winter finally and boy, the UI alone is just so much nicer.
