  • yes. I don’t generally add the alt-text option (that’s more for hyperlinks. it doesn’t show on image links). !.

    Most websites will let you right click and image and copy the image’s URL, alternatively, you can open that image in a new tab (just the image,) and then copy that URL, and it’ll display the picture. Lemmy will host an image if you’re adding it from your computer. (for that use the ‘upload image’ tool in the editor buttons.

    edit, Relevant XKCD:

    Use this power responsibly… or not. this should fun.


  • I promise… it’s just enthusiasm!

    even the linux-from-scratch snobs are usually pretty decent (really it’s only when it’s their first time out of the server room in too-long a time). I usually try to switch it up to something like "have you tried playing The Battle for Wesnoth. (it’s a turn based fantasy strategy game that’s… uhm. surprisingly good.)






  • “It was a great learning experience” is how I describe working under the worst bosses in my life. Specifically, to people that I can’t be honest with and say how i truly felt.

    One of them was just a straight up malignant asshole. The other was chronically absent. She may have had some good reasons for it, but when I had to stop bailing her out because it was getting to 20-30 hours extra entirely without a schedule… and she started lying (and spoofing texts to prove it was my fault…)

    Well, suffice it to say “great learning experience” is the polite way of saying “absolute fucking hell”






  • Pretty sure this is the command my dad used to test disaster recovery systems.

    you know. to simulate the entire cluster going poof. He spoke of having to get somebody else to actually send it, because it just felt that wrong.

    (pretty sure he was being sarcastic. Pretty sure when he was asked to test their disaster recovery for his org… his first thought was probably “i’ve never nuked an entire network before”)
