WQ = Write and Quit Q! = quit and do nothing else

Multiline cut, copy, paste is where I forget commands.

No. Some of us were already there.

Lifetime Microsoft expert here, I have had machines with Linux in one flavour or another for 15+ years at least.

But for ease of use I just keep coming back to Windows… Because I know it backwards and upside down.

The structure of it makes sense to me. And I have ADHD so I have a terrible working memory and Linux relies FAR too much on command console to do anything effective.

But Linux is hands-down the better system to get away from Microsoft’s enshitification of Windows. But I personally like Windows better.

So I will always run both. But if I need to be really productive, Windows Desktop it is. If I need a server, Linux every time. (Unless it’s MS SQL or a website).

We get the option to vote by mail for free weeks in advance.

You don’t even have to get off your fat arse.

I notice negatives to it as well.

When I trim the driveway hedge I have to pick any errant cuttings out of the rose garden. So I spend about 1-2 hours looking for one type of leaf amongst another type of leaf.

When I close my eyes for the next 12 or so hours all I can see is the type of leaf I was looking for, my brain is so locked on to looking for the pattern.

It’s a nack. See one, the others will likely be in a tent shaped layout. Some brains are just very good at visual pattern matching.

I have an unbroken record for being the person that finds anything tiny and lost. In school the kids called me “night vision”.

Lose a ball over the fence an 1am. 10 people looking. Can’t find it. Get me to look and I find it in 1 minute or less. Lost a diamond or earring backing in shag carpet? I’ll find it ao fast you won’t believe it.

I’ve occasionally had to pretend it takes longer to find it, just so they don’t think I pranked them and took it.

Yubikey enforcement is ass in AD.

We’ve moved to SilverFort. That way I can keep using the YKs but actually enforce them correctly. It allows WAAAY more visibility and control over the things that matter, and it’s diagnostics and easy policy generation from lookups is great.

We’ll circle back to that.

Senior SysAdmin here.

48 hours sounds about right. I usually get an email on day 1 of any holiday, and a panicked call on day 2 because something is down.

By day 3 all the gaps are covered by other admins after I point them at the existing documentation, that noone even looked at.
