Need the WiFi to reach just one more room. Should I just get a range extender or do I take my chances with a costlier pppoe router? no extra users and no hd streaming all the time. yes, price does let me feel a bit bothered but I don't mind paying a bit for a good extender that could handle enough bandwidth usage

So at the risk of spelling out what a whiny person I might be judged as, here's what the situation was...
So I help this junior in my team make a change to fix an issue in qa automation and it was a decision/call I took with good reason. Now next day I'm told that change wasn't kept and was reverted. Now if I were to feel bad that _my_ change was not kept that would have been stupid of me. What hd happened instead is that some other teammate told him to change it back n I didn't even get to know

I can't decide if what I feel towards a situation today is insult that I don't deserve or just my stupid ego that deserves to be shoved up that sun don't shine place. maybe it's my culture. maybe it's what I've worked hard for. but I don't take disrespect too easily. and I'm sure it's tricky for the other person because how a certain situation or action feels offensive to me is intrinsic to me

What you see: "No guns allowed here"
What I see and what other criminals see: "No one is defended here. Free loot is located here."

That annoying moment when a Linux machine acts like a piece of shit. The sound won't fucking work through headphones or speakers till not only I logged out but also had to do a full fucking reboot. Probably the laptop is to blame as well.

Ok, this weekend was BUSY, although I managed to get my CLI only Install sorted last night/early hours this morning I also managed to write a more in depth How-To install Arch Linux, which for the last hourish I have been checking prior to publishing

Its in 3 parts the first is here:

Let me know what you think
@lupine

like I said, this is all temporary until Pleroma solves *that* problem too. because apparently we have to solve all problems now.

Keeping secrets rather than confiding in people comes easier to me. I just easily go like, "meh! this person's not worth sparing/sharing my secret with" more easily than sharing it and feeling lighter or whatever.

That eerie coincidence where you download the best songs of a band in a legitimate online music store app and by the evening of the same day you read about another of its members being expired.

@brandon @Notsonoble @DistroJunkie he may not be anyone's hero here, but he is a shining example to me and to most of the people i know that know of him.

@danrabbit @cassidyjames @elementary I just want to take a moment thank you guys for all the work you've done to bring me my one and only desktop platform! You guys are amazing!

If there is anyone else from the elementary team on Mastodon, please share this with them. I want you all to have my love and admiration. I wear my elementary t-shirts and drink from my elementary mug with pride!

You are an imprisoned Nigerian Prince that has $100M in the bank but you need a foreigner to help access and get you out. You email lots of overseas people and offer a huge reward, but everyone refuses to help you.

It's official: I have taken the first steps to building out a federated alternative to #LinkedIn. The stack consists of #nginx, #Laravel, #Vue, and #postresql (tentatively). The project managemet structure is coming together over at #gitlab, and I will be pushing an initial commit tonight.

I'll get an official Mastodon account in place over the weekend, and will be opening up for any help offered.
