Good point about platform agnostic remote for management stuff. VNC is ideal for this.

And systems like Proxmox use a web GUI for most stuff, it’s a touch slow but I think that’s mostly just waiting for the system to finish the actual changes I make, and not the UI.

It uses some form of VNC (forget the name). Performance is fine for the VMs for non-video stuff.

You can run whatever you want inside a VM too.

You, I like you.

Works for me, but damn it’s dog snot slow. Like typing takes 1-2 seconds for each character to show up

Everyone one of my finds aged out from lack of OS updates, not because the hardware failed or was too slow.

I have a box of them.

How do you know how much it’s filled?

Also, hot water heat works differently than steam, and many steam systems have been converted to hot water, so it’s not easy to know just by looking at a radiator.

As other people have said, let the maintenance folks handle it. They know the system.

And?

There was a post recently about “.LAN” recently being added to the DNS spec

Removed by mod

I’ve found disabling play services on Samsung causes weird errors.

You can try, it may work.

Thanks for the DNS link!

Except it’s not zero effort, zero cost.

But do we have evidence they’re effective?

It still takes effort/time/money to do this, and if it has no impact, then that effort/time/money could be used on things that are known to be effective.

I have no idea how much effect they have. It’s possible they have a negative effect.

Op’s question is do we have that information?

I have never once been told I wasn’t hired, let alone told why.

I’ve been to probably a thousand interviews.

No one has time for that.

Imagine as a manager, you interview 100 people. Now you expect them to write a rejection letter, pass it through HR and the lawyers, for 99 people?

Imagine the time that would take, and what does the company get for that time? Nothing but risk.

“The wealth holding members of society”

Hahaha, every hiring manager I’ve worked for (you know, someone looking to fill a spot on our team) wasn’t exactly what I’d call “a wealth holder”.

They’re middle-to-senior management, making anywhere from 100k to 300k, at most. Sometimes quite a bit less.

We’re talking people who are a good 3 levels away from the C class. Meaning they’d be competing with everyone at their level, and above, to get to those higher seats in the pyramid.

Hiring managers are rarely farther up the food chain, unless they’re hiring for those seats farther up the food chain - which isn’t any of us here.

It’s It like there’s a team of managers who just do hiring/interviews. HR handles the initial stages, and the actual “hiring manager” is the person who’s looking to add someone to their team, someone they’ll be managing.

The same way you get over not knowing just about anything else.

Let it go.

Does it serve you in any way to continue to be bothered by not knowing?

You are irrelevant to them. Just like I’m irrelevant to you. That’s life.

Why would you run local traffic over the VPN?

What’s the Lineage website say?

I’ve worked for and with people who made a lot more than me.

So what? They achieved that by doing something I didn’t. They may have also made sacrifices I didn’t. Doctors certainly busted their ass a LOT more than me - I could never do what they do in educational terms alone (not to mention the biological stuff).

Did you really get to being a nurse without knowing typical salaries for different types of nursing or different kinds of doctors?

Now to answer the real question: how to not be bothered by this. Start by changing the idea in your head that your work has the same value as the work of someone else, let alone someone who spent years more time studying than you did, and also took on a lot more debt to do so, and a lot more risk.

Go read “Your Erroneous Zones” by Wayne Dyer. It’s an intro to the methods of CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) - these thoughts of yours are “scripts” that aren’t useful for you. He teaches how to change thinking such as this.

This sucks all around. Sad for the cyclist who was killed, for the driver who has to live with it, along with the other riders.

how could you not see us when there are 10 of us riding together

How could a cyclist not understand inattentional blindness?

As a motorcyclist, this is one of the first things you learn in class - other people don’t see you because they don’t expect to see you.

Assuming others see you is like planning to make this situation happen.

I’ve had drivers not see me and I have a really annoying headlight flasher with other lights up front.

It’s my life on the line, I never assume other drivers see me - even when they look me in the eye. Ive seen too many mistakes, and avoided (so far) all of them.

That would be an interesting metric, though I’m not sure it would really mean anything.
