I'm a 26 year veteran systems / infrastructure engineer and often work on large scale data / server migration projects. My homelab is larger and more robust than 95% of the client sites I service; everything is enterprise class hardware and software. I self host my own RMM, VPN, and various data and entertainment services. Most of the things I run here are to make my life better or easier for myself and my family.

My formal education is in business administration; I did not go to school specifically for an IT Degree. It's just something I love. I went to school to understand the business side of the thing I love, which has been very helpful. If you find a job doing what you love, work can feel like an accomplishment instead of a burden.

Never stop learning!

People are required to wipe down sweaty gym equipment, they should also be required to wipe down the shitter. IDK why this isn't a thing.

I was gonna say trainblarone, but this works too

It's honestly surprising he doesn't wear a bunch of medals he gave himself.

Congratulations, you got what you voted for.

That was one of, if not the only one ever made. It was in the 90's. Notice the PCI and AGP slots.It was also terrible, the valve was prone to interference from the board, and valves make heat, the enemey of computers.

It's just better to have an outboard DAC/amp, which of course could be a tube amp, if that's your jam.

Read this as "groper" problem and agreed

The pedollar

This year would be my 25th. Never been invited to a single one. There have been several, as a friend has confirmed.

I'm not worried about ever seeing those assholes again. K-12 was spent being tormented for being different. Not something I need to relive.

If I was invited, I doubt I'd go. It's not even worth my time to flex on someone I couldn't be bothered to give a cold shit about.

I keep in touch with my real friends, always. No need to reuinte with a bunch of bigots who made my youth a hell in a box.

FarScape is amazing for a lot of reasons.

While not a special effect, I always loved the Muppet Show for its antics in particular. They did so much with practical effects, and they did it amazingly well.

Please enjoy one of my personal favorites, The Windmills of Your Mind.

I'm also going to nod at Peter Jackson's "Meet the Feebles" for being a methed out seedy underworld puppet variety show movie. The effects are super campy and cheap. It's spectacular low budget grade b nonsense that will make you go "what the fuck did i just watch?".

I work in IT and once had a manager of another department fire off an accusatory email to myself, my management, and a few other leaders, stating I had not fulfilled a request he sent at some point in the past.

It took little to no effort to show my management the email logs directly indicating he lied. He went so far as to edit the header info in the email chain to make it look like I dropped the ball on a certain date.

Accusing one of the infrastructure admins who manages the email server by falsifying email records is not going to lead to a good time.

He didn't last long.

It was some Francisco, yeah.
