I want one big enough to mount a recliner in it.

Maybe make it a short range EV....

Looks like it would scale well.

Nobody is going to upload this but this is the same scenario that had Brave screwing around with cryptocurrency and selling search engine results.

For the last few years, I've been trying to get them to assign me at least someone part-time to learn my tribal knowledge. I've been writing documents and leaving copious notes in Slack canvasses to stakeholders. If something happens to me, they'll be struggle-bussing it.

When I go on vacation, I'm still stuck for end-game support for p0 stuff. If production is down, I'll stop what I'm doing, If they can't make money, they can't pay my salary. I'll answer P1 questions off hours to an extent.

I don't absolutely hate it. I'm paid well for the inconvenience but they're playing with fire. I only go places that have some form of internet somewhere (doesn't need to be everywhere) and I'm always within 15 minutes of grabbing my laptop.

My dream for Mozilla is that it does not descend into a capitalist marionette full of silent information gathering and black-box AI widgets. If you're going to do AI, I want it open, like training data open. Whitepaper open. I want to be able to trust the company and it's projects and especially it's browser.

Wasting your time? impossible. All you're learning will at least gently affect everything else you do. Will you contribute meaningfully to foss? only time will tell.

Like any craft, you git good by doing. The first program I wrote was in ASIC to fix 2500 computers on a LAN. We were a small shop (7 ppl) providing on-site support for a large complex. We were gearing up to have to go to 2500 desks and edit win.ini to make sure Vshare was set up for ccMail.

I stayed late a couple nights and wrote a little app to copy win.ini line by line to a new file and fix vshare in the process. Then, it ran some sanity checks to make sure the file looked good, and the files were swapped out. Saved us a LOT of time.

A few jobs later, we had a Cold Fusion/IIS server that would occasionally corrupt logs and we needed reports on the logs for our clients. I couldn't nail down what caused the error. The files were multiple gigabytes in the day where an entire company could comfortably work off of 2GB. I found the problem, they were missing a linebreak once in a while, and the analytics app we were using would just shit the bed on that.

I needed to break up the offending lines or at least remove them. I didn't have enough time or space to copy them to a new file.

This was pre-2000 so the languages and tooling were pretty dumb.

I learned some PHP, but memory was an issue, abandoned I learned some Perl that worked, but it took many hours, and I'd have to dedicate a box to just fixing the logs every morning. I finally bit the bullet and learned enough C to fix it; it only took an hour to run.

Since then, I've just been learning to solve problem after problem and have chosen tools that I didn't know. Keep on amateuring. Do small projects and cron jobs with different languages/tools.

Branch out into new languages when you have to start finding hacks to do things in current languages. Once you get good at working on smaller pictures, the big pictures won't look as daunting.

Yeah, that defense always works for the BLM protesters too right? Right?

Even the printers that sell print heads as parts charge 3/4 of the printers price for them.

And, if you don't print from an inkjet inside of about 6 months they often get clogged.

Laser printers can sit around for a decade fire right up and be fine. Inkjet printers are but for a narrow set of circumstances destined in short-term for e-waste.

F***, which cabinet seat is he going to appoint them to?

It's not supposed to be read only every time, The nasty command you enter is likely fixing a symptom.

A lot of times if you're swapping back and forth between windows and Linux the drive will be perceived as dirty. An fsck might be enough to make it stop misbehaving.

After you plug it in if you run sudo dmesg, It might give you some insight as to why it's being mounted read only, If you fix the underlying cause you won't have to remember the command anymore

Trying to get Roblox running inside of mint is a pita

There may be an easier way to access the external drive, It depends on what you are bar is for difficult. Are we talking about a NAS or an external USB drive?

What's your current method for connecting to it?
