Things I teach my kids:

• “No” is a complete sentence.
• If you’re not having a good time you can leave.
• Never make yourself smaller just to make other people more comfortable.
• It’s okay not to be okay.
• Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from.
• Other people’s opinions of you are none of your business.
• Speak as kindly to yourself as you would speak to others.
• Be your own greatest cheerleader, always.

It’s never too late to learn these things.

sigh when you shut down your server so people can play with your electrical supply and you try doing a git push to said server

@puffnfresh have you been paying attention to the Nix community?

Are you still Nixing?

jonoabroad,
@jonoabroad@mastodon.nz avatar

@puffnfresh cheers, I found out there was something, but wasn't sure if I could be bothered digging into it.

figured you would have the concise view of it, thank you :)

Lamb, potatoes, salad, and beer… a toast to @jonoabroad

@dpp very yummy and an excellent taste in beer.

Is that air fryer roasted potatoes?

What if Frankie had it wrong?

Maybe they misheard and it was Gnome?

"On my way home, welcome to the pleasure Gnome"

"PLLLEEEEEEEEEASURE GNOME"

Also points if you remember @stilgherrian's ~2007 edict videos with said Gnome.

Anyway Welcome to Monday morning job hunting with Jono.

( For programming not for insights into my mind, unless they pay the same )

@astrid YOU ARE TOO YOUNG TO BE THIS JADED.

I was about to list all the things it could be, but neither of us need that.

@astrid naaaaaaa, we just had 70s music and alcohol when I was young, it was a simpler time, or maybe I was just a young bogan growing up in New Zealand

Help your elderly idiot folks, how can I find the device file for one of my network cards?

Either I have this podman option reversed or everything hates me.

🤷‍♂️

jonoabroad,
@jonoabroad@mastodon.nz avatar

@spmatich yeah I am unsure if it is Nix, podman, some combination or 🤷‍♂️

I think it's working, but also, 😬

Lost my job yesterday. Feeling an enormous sense of relief today.

I don't think that role was for me.

I just booted my server, after thinking the sparkies were going to need to power off the house.

I think I can hear it from upstairs.

Report after 2 months with a Kindle Scribe.

Probably only of interest if you read a lot on tablets, rather than other e-ink devices, and are curious about a big Kindle is like.

@d6y reading now, have you tried the remarkable?

jonoabroad,
@jonoabroad@mastodon.nz avatar

@d6y you moved from static site generation?

jonoabroad,
@jonoabroad@mastodon.nz avatar

@d6y it's faster and nicer than the boox.

It's larger than a kindle, I like that I can sketch things, that said it doesn't help me draw any better.

I enjoy it, I need to get a workflow together to get content on and off it,as you describe in your post.

jonoabroad,
@jonoabroad@mastodon.nz avatar

@d6y @paulsilver

this is what remarkable has also, it is about as useful as understanding my voice - the only things that understand me are apps I havent' asked to start :(
