  • Wow that description as “extremely patient and gives very detailed explanations/arguments” is kinda on the nose isn’t it. Good on you for having the time and patience to help educate people.

    In my opinion any country legitimately trying to better their people is a good thing. At least way better than trying to enrich the same 10 billionaires over and over again.

    I’d consider myself more of a fan of social democracies. Ultimately the problem seems to be that no one is truly altruistic or even future thinking. As a species we are greedy, short sighted, with tiny short attention spans.


  • I was of the opinion tankie was just a term given to Russian or Chinese fans/apologists. People that think these governments can do no wrong which is just dumb and naive. And thinking they can do no right is just as naive. As oppressive as the Chinese government can be, they have been at least making some interesting choices in regards to science and technology recently. But people are getting labeled as tankie because of support for socialist ideas? Like government healthcare and social safety nets?

    I was programming in basic when I was like 10 years old and have been hooked ever since. I have been enthralled with these machines for over 40 years. I mean I come home from work (in IT obviously) and mess around with my home lab. The money isn’t bad obviously but this is and always has been what I was destined to do.

    Yep 100%. Ubuntu did this once, googled it, and said aloud “Ah hell no!! …” Between this and Snaps I was like ok I’m done. Started researching things like Mint and PopOs. Decided to just stick with Debian. Especially since ProxMox is basically just specialized Debian designed for KVM virtualization.

    Yeah I also had a similar problem with updates. Had an old Ubuntu vm that I could not get to upgrade without lots of pain. It’s like they were trying to piss me off.



  • Yeah totally. I’m most productive in the super early morning before anyone gets there, like 6-9am. Or in the late evening after everyone has gone home. But the wife is like why are you still at work. When I get in the zone I get total time blindness. What felt like 15 minutes was more like 4 hours.



  • I wrote a reply before I got this far down in this thread, but 100% agree.

    So for that hour:

    10min to stop the last thing I was doing.

    10 min to switch to new task (getting environment set up, checking out code, etc).

    30 min to figure out where I was the last time I started.

    And now 10 min to actually do anything.

    God forbid a random pop-in, priority email, slack message, system alert, etc happen in that hour.

    Yep seems totally efficient to me.
