Hathaway , to badrealestate in Hmm.

As a garage door tech, I have too many questions.

Such as, where is that spring line? Where is the rest of the tracking? Who installed that motor, and why? It looks like it was installed in the last handful of years. It’s also installed in a helluva way, but, given the headroom, I can excuse it, but, without tracking or a spring line, that motor isn’t doing shit… so why is it there? Wtf is going on here?! This is causing a crisis.

So, it turns out, (as someone pointed out) it’s a one piece garage door, I don’t see these where I live due to snow. So, it likely actually works, crisis kinda averted.

Probably in case of inspection if they didn’t get permits to make the garage a bedroom

Ajen ,

I thinking the same thing. This looks a lot like my neighbor’s garage, and I’m 99% sure he didn’t get a permit.

I finally got a proper USB 3.012542.

crusty ,

It’s bad when the actual naming scheme is more ridiculous. See USB 3.2 gen 2x1. Hopefully usb 4 simplifies things, but let’s be honest, it probably won’t…

technomad , to games in Itch.io is also having a summer sale (including a lot of freebies)

Any favorites so far?

El Paso Elsewhere was pretty fun for a jaunt.

smeg OP ,

Sadly I accumulate games way faster than I can play them, but I have been enjoying Bones in the Boneyard, it’s a super simple tetris-like with some spooky scary skeletons that make the match-three mechanism a little harder

smeg OP ,

Poly Snakes is also pretty fun as a basic mobile game, it’s Snake but your food tries to run away

More of this sort of stuff. Less AI content vomit.

I know I’m probably having an “old man yells at sky” moment, but AI image shitposting should really be a distinct /c/. We’ve been inundated with it lately and it’s… not really the vibe I’m looking for in here.

Hol OP , (edited )

Shitposting’s a skill

Dumping random shit into

an AI, less so.

(Edited to make it a shitty haiku)

OTOH, shitposting about shit posting…

Moonguide , to books in What are you reading??

Just finished Dune Messiah. It was good, but I liked the first one more. Feel like it could’ve been shorter, while at the same time I feel like I would’ve appreciated more info on how the jihad affected people outside Arrakeen.

I’ll probably start on either Colour of Magic or Gardens of the Moon next.

sh00g , to books in What are you reading??

Currently readingA Separate Peace because I was convinced my high school self was just too immature when he labeled it as the worst book he has ever had to read… it’s not the worst book I’ve ever had to read but it’s not a good book either.

Next up will probably be either The Guns of August or Teddy Roosevelt’s autobiography.

Almost halfway the third book of the Three body problem series, deaths end by Cixin Liu. Excellent series

moistclump ,

I read the first one pre-Covid and never picked it back up for second. Is it worth returning to the series??

Vendetta9076 ,
@Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works avatar

I haven’t read the third one yet but the second is incredible. Absolutely pick it back up.

Prootje ,

Yes, its accessible sci fi. Second one has a slow start but really picks up in the second half. The third is a bit more balanced in that regard. Highly recommend.

The DevOps Handbook: How to Create World-Class Agility, Reliability, and Security in Technology Organizations

I’m a huge fucking nerd and read mostly stuff like this. I’ve got a rousing book of user story mapping on deck next!

I would love to hear book recommendations from you. I can do software dev and I self host a few services personally, but I do guesswork at scaling services, security, automated deployments, CICD, etc. Do you have suggestions? (Agile books are also cool)

Nomecks ,

You and I are taking very different paths, so my recommendations may not be fully relevant. I’m working on guiding companies how to fix their already broken IT departments while you’re down the technology side. For starters, I’d choose a cloud to focus on, because like it or not, companies use Google, Amazon, Azure or a combination of the three. From there, I’d read probably the most boring thing you can: The well architected framework documentation!

AWS

Azure

Google

These guides are going to make you ask yourself a ton more questions which will really guide your reading. They will cover most operational topics for that given cloud, but will also apply broadly across all operations platforms.

As mentioned, that Devops handbook is a real barn burner. It tells you what exactly you need to implement to create an environment where the technology, processes and people behind your IT are scalable.

As I said, I’m working on organizational change, and doing so requires that people will agree to work with you. All the technology in the world is worthless if you can’t get people to work with it. So these books were good. I’d recommend reading them simply to help you advance in your career:

Gap Selling: Getting the Customer to Yes: How Problem-Centric Selling Increases Sales by Changing Everything You Know About Relationships, Overcoming Objections, Closing and Price

How to Win Friends and Influence People

The one I’m going to read next is User Story Mapping: Discover the Whole Story, Build the Right Product

I’ve been using a service called Hardcover after switching over from StoryGraph last year. I’ve been searching for a ‘letterboxd for books’ for years and I think this is the closest I’ve found so far.

JaymesRS ,

Hardcover is my favorite as well (though I’m still tracking in StoryGraph and Goodreads mainly because Goodreads does it automatically from Calibre). My only issue with Hardcover is that it’s got the worst book database so far but that’s a relatively easier fix with services like openlibrary. My link is in my profile for both.

hotsox ,

Why did you leave storygraph? I just got on it because I wanted an online log of some sort. I dont mind it so far. Although I literally just joined 3 weeks ago
