I’ve been trying to find one throughout the Steam summer sale and come up dry, and now I’m out of money until the 15th. Hopefully y’all can help me find a good one before the winter sale. Here’s a rundown of what I’ve tried so far and what I’ve liked and dislike about them:...
I’m particularly interested in low bandwidth solutions. My connection to the internet is pretty rough 20mbps down and 1mbps up with no option to upgrade....
I don't back up anything I can rebuild. I have multiple half-assed methods in use together for the rest of it:
Backups daily of homedirs on desktops and laptops using Borg and Vorta to external usb drives. These devices get rotated out annually. I used to run 2-disk RAID1 and when I rotated the disks out, split them and sent them to family but now I'm taking my chances on having them local and putting them in a fireproof box.
Code repos are synced to github or srht.
Monthly backups of homedirs are sent via borg to rsync.net.
Desktop and laptop homedirs get periodic (roughly monthly) burns to Dual-Layer BDRs which I put in the fireproof box and sometimes hand off to family.
I started working for a big corporation about six months ago. Turns out a few months before I started there was a new CTO hired from a startup. This CTO has been on a hiring spree and basically hired all of the technical staff of the startup he came from (to the point that they're suing the company I work for)....
CTO coming in hot, an employee poaching lawsuit, pet dev team working in a "bunker" separate from corporate, and that no matter how well-documented and designed "Chesterton's fence" applies to back-ends so it's unlikely to be a smooth cut-over. These are all bad signs.
What's good is that you have some number of months, maybe a year, maybe more, to find your next role.
I'm looking for PC games that I can play while listening to podcasts- games that don't have engaging cut scenes or important dialogue, games that honestly don't require a lot of skill or thought....
As someone who has played thousands of games of Shattered with >600 games just on my most recent phone (108 of those ascended) and has ascended with all the sub-classes... git gu... no, no, no, ask questions. Some of the mechanics are kind of subtle and exploiting them can take thought. I personally find the Huntress/Warden the easiest (because the spirit bow has unlimited ammo letting you sell off thrown weapons and the free seeds and dew drops can keep you alive).
Let's get this community popping with some useful information. Reddit's sysadmin subreddit seemed like a place of complainers, I look forward to having actual productive conversation in this community.
I've been in the weird space of on-prem "cloud" infrastructure (mostly kubernetes) for the last seven years but I've been doing infra, middleware, and devops for more than twenty years and have my own way of working that's nearly GUI-free.
