Kinda I guess, he's said he would hold back one part of a single shipment, but that is the absolute bare minimum

Depends if you want to assign IP addresses or not. If you don't, you just want your own section of the same lan, I.e.all your devices connected to your router but let dhcp pass through then you can just set itnup as an extender

What if you aren't flexible? I never couch, I just say in use Linux for my workflow, can you accommodate that?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago

I ask before I take the interview. Location, salary range, linux laptop are prerequisites to me working for anyone. If they punt on the laptop question it means no and they are hoping you'll want the job even without. I can promise you I won't, and if you view that as a red flag I can promise I don't want to work there so I don't care.

If its a hard requirement for you just say that and say that's for workflow and you don't want to waste anyone's time

I was already full Linux, but gnome is the reason I stopped messing with window managers and maybe large 4k monitors.

It finally hit enough of 'just works' and customizability to use my standard workflow.

The only thing I want that I don't have right now is horizontal monitor splits for vertical monitors.

Well, there's two ways forward, one is that you bite the bullet and get your AA which almost always transfers as most of the first 2 years and you'll be on to most of your degree course work.

Or, you apply directly college again and you write tour essays on how you've grown as a person. The second one will require some time between being suspended and applying again so I don't know if its an option and that usually requires you have something to show for your about face, I.e. you've worked your way up in some kind ofcareerr for a few years. So that can be a real trick.

They aren't concerned with if you'll be learning anything while you raise your grades, they are concerned if you are going to put in the effort and stick with it so they don't take an opportunity from someone that actually wants to put in the work.

It's kinda BS, but also, its adult consequences in an adult world. At the end of the day, you made decisions that make colleges think you need to do some highschool work again so, you're going to have to deal with the consequences, and that includes doing redundant work, both in cc and then to fill in the gaps once you transfer.

You need an OS app to run and a setting in the BIOS. The app at the OS level gives a heartbeat to the watchdog module on the mother board. If you miss some heartbeats, the firmware on the motherboard sends the reset command.

No, this is a tool that can be used in a well designed architecture. Would I do this with a single database server, probably not. Would I ever run a single database server? Also probably not.

Also, by this point, you've probably already kernel panicked or something. There's not much left that can be saved and you probably needed that backup five minutes before the host came up.

Check if your motherboard has a watchdog function. If the OS can't ping the watchdog every 5 min or whatever you set it to, the board resets.

Myrecommendations is probably to host a next cloud instance. Does all the standard 'cloud stuff'. File, contact, calendar sync, plus a bunch if other stuff if you want to add it via plugins. If you're patient, and a single use you can host it on basically anything. If you decide you want to add users or have a faster site, you can go down the route of sorting out faster hardware or better specs and suck.

Well, every instance has different mix of people interest and moderation. Which maybe I was over thinking it but it took a while to figure out where I wanted to be. And my initial experience wasn't great. My server was way out of date, had caching issues, was slow lots of defederation and perhaps arbitrary blocking that I didn't know was going on so I didn't understand why it didn't work.

I gave up and came back to a different server and it's been good since. But, no one is switching from threads or Instagram for that experience. Or at least going to stick with it long enough to find a home.

I've built a place I find comfortable, took a couple tries. But I have found decent content, found some of my friends from twitter, found replication bots for people I used to follow but not really interact with.

It's not twitter, but it took me 5+ years to build out my twitter. I think over time, enough people will join defederated social media that it can be a pretty good experience if a little too much work for many. But it will take a little time.
