I work in the meat department and you cannot imagine how often I get someone from a different part of the store bringing me something (like a pet bringing me a present) like “Oh yeah I found this 10 lb. pork butt behind the cheezits” or “This tenderloin fell behind the register and we only noticed it because it started to smell” (real stories)
Worked at walmart many, many years ago on a cash register. One day, someone was out, so I got moved to the floor to make the shelves look pretty. It involved putting stuff like this where it belongs, and it was, by far, the best day I had working at walmart. I’ve never understood the complaints from employees who have to do this.
I mainly installed the screen as an easy way to see what’s happening during boot, so I don’t have to lug the server into the other room and connect it to a monitor when I make changes to things. I’m planning on setting up a stats readout so it’s useful the rest of the time - things like network status/traffic, disk/cpu utilisation etc.
The nice thing is we aren’t really “competing” so to speak. I definitely want lemmy to grow, but the community can be a .0001% chunk of the internet and I would be totally happy as long as it were a kind, useful, and fun chunk
I think it would be great if we have numbers that are increasing slow and steadily, giving this whole ecosystem time to work out the kinks. While I dream of one day everyone being a part of the fediverse, I’m getting a good count and quality of discussions right now.
