It doesn’t bother me one bit of you know my search history. You’ll learn I search a word to see if I know your to spell it properly and that I DIY a lot of stuff lol

Well looky looky, guess who just ate “6 spoons of warm oil”? Honestly it was probably more because it was a pizza hut pan pizza.

Lost in chaos!

When someone previously told a vrtx vm not to auto boot after power up and none of the remote access is working either… Both undocumented as well, of course. And your tired AF tech is statically configuring the wrong IP range on their laptop to manu because it’s been a long shutdown day and are also unfamiliar with the system in general (me). Good times, I figured it out though, but lots of sweating and swearing.

I’m trying, that’s all that matters :)

Disappear

You monster!

By time you reach the carpeted walls it’s actually slightly jarring for there to be such an unexpected change like that. I’m pretty sure the black room was carpet as well, but it could also just be pixelation, I’m not 100% sure.

Didn’t notice the other odds though, was too horrified by the walls and ceilings … and then after the carpet, the garage… my goodness.

This is the “disheveled short hair dog, petting it might give you tetanus” look

Right? Know your rights, damn!

Chances of raw dogging definitely increase after the introduction of the whiskey

“What do you see when it’s coming back up?”

“Right back to the problem I’m having!”

“So you don’t see [insert OEM logo here]?”

“Nope. And it’s still frozen!”

“Where’s the power button you’re holding down?”

“On the monitor!”

Open the window and throw it out, please

I use VBox to run my PiHole for now and have used it to play with a couple distros side by side. I also have a sup’d up tower built from spare parts from work, so resources aren’t a constraint.

We’re in a tight spot, our service desk is outsourced while escalations or issues requiring hands on are sent to us. Problem is our service desk is a dumpster fire. I have regular meetings with their leadership to address this but it literally makes no difference. I recently caught that one of their agents we told them to remove from our contract was back and just as shitty and work avoiding.

We’re in the midst of replacing them with an internal regional team, but regional moves glacially slow. So we’re in a “please use the service desk” and “fuck just email/teams me the details and I’ll handle it when I have time” kinda situation. I’d love everything to go through tickets but I also know there’s a 50/50 chance that service desk will fuck it up by camping on the ticket, sending it to our sister site who also uses them, or completely not understanding the situation and cocking up the ticket notes before escalating or closing the ticket…

Recently they took a user complaint of a singular device being offline and noted it as “entire site is without network”, giving it a priority 1 status and escalating to our on-call line.

Sometimes they also take an actual P1 issue and dump into our queue without calling our hunt group or on-call number during business hours. We’re project heavy so we don’t hawk the ticket queue and it often leads us to missing the SLA of 30 minutes to assign the ticket to a tech.

Dumpster. Fire.

I dunno, I don’t like unnecessarily interacting with strangers. I’m gonna go sit in another room and tinker with something else for now.

Haven’t heard of the proverbial cheeseburger… gonna stare at this phrase for a bit.

It was my last summer at home before college too, but I did notice some aggressive webbing slowly overtaking the back shelf as the summer went. Only sign I knew I wasn’t crazy, because I also never saw it again.

Then the house sold while at college. Drove by a few weeks ago on my way through town and noticed the shed is now gone, guessing the buyer also saw the spider lol

We have many lakes and rivers, so dock spiders are common unfortunately. Wooded areas aplenty, so wolf spiders too. Then your common group of hanging out in the corners of your deck getting their full of mosquitos and black flies spiders. Those creeperass basement spiders with the long legs. I once also slammed my shed shut and fucked off back inside because of some furry palm sized bastard was chilling on the inside of said shed door.

They may not be poisonous or dinner plate sized, but some are pretty aggressive and others look like they should be.

I usually get that “this is fine” mantra going on repeat until it either touches me or I’m done and wig the fuck out of there. On the rare occasion I tell the spider we’re fine so long as we leave each other be and it’s all sunshine and rainbows. Brains are weird.

The second there’s more than 2 or it’s bigger than a toonie I’m bringing fire though.
