The only April fools joke I really encountered yesterday was modded Minecraft refused to launch until I changed the date to today. Too bad I didn’t figure it out until late in the day and my kid was upset they didn’t get to play because the stupid thing stopped loading right before the main menu
Another vote for borg, I use a script and cron on the systems that aren’t in my proxmox host to trigger it and write to my NAS. There are windows GUIs for it, and you could also use WSL to run it.
But imo, backups should always be push, not pull. Makes it much easier to manage from my experience
And i don’t see it anywhere in this situation. They’re asked to do a job a certain way (or for management, to make sure it happens in a certain way), and they do that to the best of their ability.
Nah, I’m sick of trying to get you to understand that it’s not the person I’m talking about, but the mentality of management through the whole process. I don’t know if you’re just not reading the words I write or what, but I’m not willing to keep repeating the same point to a wall
Oh, it gets worse. I’ve had some where I have to enter a character into the boxes before it would figure its shit out…
I’m aware of the TUI logins (I think f7 is your graphical, but I might be wrong) and sometimes those work too. I’ve started just sshing in because the terminal switching was hit and miss.
But thanks for that loginctl command, I’ll have to give that one a try as well!
Wouldn’t he only be lazy if he’s not doing anything else more productive instead?
Of course not. It’s rather easy to see how one can choose to be lazy and not do hard work while being “productive” doing easier tasks. But this isn’t about the dev, it’s about the culture.
He gets payed to do a specific job,
Again, stop thinking I’m calling the dev lazy, you’re completely missing my point.
and does it the best way possible given the constraints. I don’t see how you find lazyness in that.
This is the laziness. The constraints imposed by management to get new features out the door at the expense of making their existing features work better is a hallmark of the current development era.
I’m not even going to respond to the last bit because it’s entirely irrelevant to (and completely misunderstands) the point I’m making.
I never called them lazy, I stated that the mentality is lazy, which it is. Whether or not that laziness is profit driven, it still comes down to not wanting to put forth the effort to make a product that runs better.
Systemic laziness as profit generation is still laziness. We’re just excusing it with cost and shit, and if everyone is lazy, then no one is.
If cost is a justification for this kind of laziness, it also justifies slop code development. After all, it’s cheaper that way, right?
How is that mindset lazy?
Are you really asking how it’s lazy to pass unoptimized code to a customer and make their hardware do all the work for you because optimization was too costly?? Like I get that you are in an Enterprise space, but this mentality is very prevalent and is why computers from today don’t feel that much faster software wise than they did 10 years ago. The faster hardware gets, the lazier devs can be because why optimize when they’ve got all those cycles and RAM available?
And this isn’t a different at you, that’s software development in general, and I don’t see it getting any better.
I’ve seen some stuff where going to sleep and coming out degrades perf
I’ll have to try some of these suggestions myself, as I’ve been dealing with my UI locking up if the monitors turn off and I wake it up too soon. Sometimes I still have ssh access to it, so thanks for the shell commands!
Probably just the browser itself, considering how bloated they’re getting. It’s not super surprising, considering the apps run about as fast (on a good day) as it did 5-10 years ago on a new phone, it’s gonna run like dogshit on a phone from that era.
And that lazy mentality just passes the cost to the consumer.
But going with more smaller drives gives you higher IO and the ability to have more concurrent failures before disaster. Losing a disk during resilvering is horrible when you’re only running with 1 redundant drive normally.
am curious what exactly makes it fall short?
The podcast playback is sorely lacking. It can’t play more than one episode without having to select the episode, which makes playlists kinda pointless unless it’s just following one storyline in a podcast that runs more than one concurrently. It also doesn’t seem to support defaulting listing order other than newest, and the next episode is always the latest, despite the current playback order
Only the webUI works out of the box, if you want the phone app you need to compile it yourself.
Damn, that’s a nonstarter for anyone non-technical
Seconding the guide, that sounds amazing. Plus, jack handy was one of my favorite bits from old SNL
I should set up that bitwarden feature that lets people ask for access and they get it if you don’t respond in a set amount of time.
Ah, yeah I feel that. Been dealing with it in my own setup, and sometimes they get annoyed when stuff gets done on my time 😅
I’ve thought about deploying overseerr to take some of that off me, but I’m lazy…
What’s wrong with your setup that makes you have to touch your stack constantly?
I have radarr and sonarr, and I only ever touch them to add media. Hell, I use prowlarr more than either of the others just cuz I don’t have any kind of management for other media I partake in
I don’t have the attention span to draw out a Pepe Silva looking graph (even if I periodically have to try to explain it to newbies haha)
Hell, I’d love to see them try their hand at an explanation before the AI text vomit. As long as it’s mostly readable, I’d rather it be a bit stilted but honest rather than this crap.
