hejsan , to maliciouscompliance in [REPOST] Get rid of my vacation? Have fun replacing me.

I remember reading this one. It’s still good to read it again :)

I read this one when it was first posted too!

hejsan , to maliciouscompliance in How to close down Production 101

That’s crazy. Why hire you if they didn’t trust you in the first place?

sleepyducky OP ,

My manager didn’t trusted anyone. Had the highest turnover rate in the company. In my position they had 7 buyers within 2 and a half years. Her bosses were aware there were issues within our team, but trusted her more than even numbers on papers as she was their first employee and felt loyalty towards her after 20 years working together

hejsan , to maliciouscompliance in Follow the expense policy to the letter, he said.

One example was the section on land transport. I can’t remember the exact wording, but it said something like “we will cover the cost of flights to the nearest airport and subsequent car transport”.

That company must not be European :)

eyy OP ,

Obviously not - American clients were its bread and butter then.

Action_Bastid , to nostupidquestions in [NSQ Friday] I created the icon for this community which has been described as "breathtaking" and "glorious". How can I monetise my now-well-recognised talent?
@Action_Bastid@lemmy.world avatar

Convince some eccentric millionaires that its got an incredible depth of meaning, and only the truly discerning eye can see it for what it really is.

A famous example of a deaf/blind person is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Keller - this article contains some explanations about how she was able to learn to communicate with the world.

I host a bitcoin node, and some video

solstice , to nostupidquestions in Why does it feel like we're at a point where every social media + other digital media are making shitty decisions and falling apart?

Related question: why does it feel like hollywood is intent on completely destroying all of our beloved franchises? It’s not like the place isn’t overflowing with incredibly talented artists, writers, actors, producers, etc. I just don’t understand why it’s so hard for them to make something that isn’t garbage.

Naryn ,

I mean they’re not… There’s been some amazing films recently.

solstice ,

Not what, destroying our beloved franchises? You’re telling me star wars, star trek, and lord of the rings are in a good place right now? The ghostbusters remake, the insultingly bad fourth matrix movie, that attempt to revive the X files a few years back, the list goes on.

I’m not saying NOTHING good is coming out at all, but I AM saying just about everything coming out “related to franchises you used to love” is total crap with rare exception.

sznio ,

Because they know it will sell.

They don’t need to make a good Star Wars movie because they don’t need to onboard new fans. They make them only to squeeze out existing fans who will pay regardless of quality.

The new Matrix movie was actually a masterpiece. The Wachowski’s didn’t want to revive the franchise since they considered it complete - but the studio insisted that if they didn’t make it, the studio would get it done itself. So they accepted the offer, and made a movie so bad that it killed any attempts at reviving the franchise for good. The Matrix is now dead, and it will stay that way (hopefully).

I guess Star Wars is too strong to kill even with multiple shit movies.

Besides that, for how long can you squeeze the same universe? I’d rather have something new.

This video explains it well: Basically, its greed and the fact that franchises are safer bets. And of course many people still watch them. youtu.be/p4GERuvdhYI

Comrat ,

Personally I feel like the Mario movie was one of the best movies like that to come out. Sure it’s nothing too amazing, but for a video game adaptation it’s definitely up there. It does seem like everything has to be remade to be almost deliberately awful though.

Higher interest rates, less vc money, have to actually start being profitable

Everyone’s a genius in a bull market with a near zero interest rate.

Honestly I think it’s this. All these tech companies finally being pressed to show ROI now that the risk-free rate of return is much higher.

VC money drying up means enshittification machine slamming the gas

InfiniteVariables ,

No doubt. Instead of slowly making it shittier bit by bit so that we didn’t noticed, they had to go mask off an remind us that we are the product.

The 40 hour work week is outdated. I could easily get away with a 32 hour work week and get all of my work done. Here I am having been doing it the hard way and actually moving my mouse cursor every 10 minutes so my laptop doesn’t go to sleep.

Heh, back in my call centre days we used this neat little app called Caffeine. No installation required, just double click and stay online for the whole shift.

dystop OP ,

Some places block .exes now so that doesn’t always work.

Thrife ,
@Thrife@feddit.de avatar

Like my office. We got new thinclients and someone who doesn’t know how the rest works decided that these clients have to lock the user out after one minute of inactivity.

Since I very often read articles or forum posts or are in remote sessions to get shown by a user what kind of issue they encounter, I constantly get booted out. I tried caffeine and it doesn’t work. So now I constantly have to tab ctrl… It’s very helpful when I’m reading…

possiblylinux127 , to selfhosted in VPS to bypass CGNAT

I personally forward all my stuff via a wireguard tunnel setup in linode. However, I would strongly advise against exposing services to the internet.

TwinTurbo ,

I do this, too. I haven’t tried Tailscale, but Netmaker wasn’t able to deal with my CGNAT without a relay node, and I found that to be hit-and-miss.

possiblylinux127 ,

I like wireguard because it doesn’t have a lot of overhead

TwinTurbo ,

Tailscale and Netmaker use wireguard under the hood, so as long as you manage to establish the connections, they should be just as fast! If you need to use relaying, however, that will introduce additional overhead.

possiblylinux127 ,

I just like config files I guess

ptz , to selfhosted in What's your "base" stack of choice?
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

Debian netinst via PXE, SSH/YOLO, docker + compose (formerly swarm), scripts are from my own library, Debian.

peveleigh ,

I do the same except I boot a usb installer instead of PXE.

ptz ,
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

I can never find a USB drive when I need one, thus my PXE server was born. lol

overtinker , to selfhosted in VPS to bypass CGNAT

Sorry to steal your post but I am looking to set up the same thing and I am wondering if Hetzner is good for this? They have a VERY attractive 20tb network traffic allowance for only ~£4/month

SpezCanLigmaBalls OP ,
@SpezCanLigmaBalls@lemmy.world avatar

I ended up using racknerd. Used the same script and it worked perfect. It was $14 total for a year and 4tb a month which is all I need. There was a few dollar extra options for my network space. Once I bought it I got it all setup in like 20 mins and that includes activation for the vps

chris , to selfhosted in Good servers for self-hosting
@chris@l.roofo.cc avatar

I like the kimsufi offerings by OVH. You can order most servers either in France or on Canada.

spi OP ,

Problem, I am currently living in the US

Overcast ,
@Overcast@lemmy.world avatar

You can order a Canadian server with fairly low latency. I have one but I also have a couple of machines at home. I don’t like buying used and I care about wattage so I usually get beelinks mini PC from Amazon. They often have deals where you can have good specs for <$150, including 128gb SSDs, 8 or 16gb of ram and a 4 cores 15w CPU
