I've almost exclusively used KDE Plasma at work and home for the last six years, but my new job gave me a MacBook Air and boy howdy do my fingers have no idea what's going on.

@funnelfiasco Fedora Asahi for the win?

Been in and out of data centers all day. Primary and auxiliary cooling both failed in one and clocked in at 116F this morning 😩.

I have a nice fancy graph to explain part of my fun today.

@Mirppc The hum of all the fans screaming for help is getting to me more than the heat today.

@Mirppc I just got a reading of 86.2F, which is the lowest it's been all day 🫠

Is 69C the ambient room temp or the cpu temp?

@Mirppc CPU at 77C is not all that uncommon anymore with modern procs. AMDs, in particular, are designed to run hotter (90C is the upper end of the "normal" range for Ryzen 7 right now). That said, I would definitely watch your temps for storage and memory, because they still won't appreciate it.

@Mirppc Fun fact: The first python and Linux program I ever wrote was a cpu monitoring tool because I had a ThinkPad that kept burning my leg when I played World of Warcraft on it.

Current Monday status: To keep some kind of sanity, I've started pronouncing "storcli" as "storkly".

I am pondering the deep mysteries of life today. Like this bottle that has weird fonts and kerning (not pictured) but more awkwardly gives the caffeine content in mg per fl oz, and how it's "16.9" fl oz instead of the normal 20oz, which I assume is the 500ml European standard size, but it still has corn syrup instead of regular sugar. It almost seems like a counterfeit coke?

@linux_mclinuxface That actually would explain it. It did taste like Canadian coke - slightly less syrupy.
