I use a Norton Commander clone (Total Commander) lol. Having a huge list of bookmarks in a drop-down menu with subfolders is super helpful for my work.

All our network shares are Azure hosted, so Microslop is getting corporate $$$ regardless. And I think that bug has been around since forever.

Dude. Same. Windows 11 at work is fucking awful.

My laptop idles at 12 out of 16 gigs of RAM free.

Right clicking takes dozens of seconds, especially on a network share.

Did IT remove a letter mapped network drive? Haha! Fuck you! Windows hangs indefinitely if you open Windows explorer. You gotta fuck around in the registry to remove that shit.

The only good thing about windows 11 is tabs in Windows explorer. Which MacOS and Linux have had for a gazillion years.

Health insurance: “Hey, we’re fucking assholes, but the maximum you’ll pay for your care in a year is $XXXX.”

Dental insurance: “Hahahaha! Fuck you! The maximum we’ll pay for your care in a year is $XXX! Also, we don’t cover anything other than cleanings!”

Do it!

Here’s what it looks like around me: https://analyzer.letsmesh.net/channels?region=pnw

I’d check the map to see if there are repeaters around your area.

I believe the only part of Meshcore that’s not FOSS is the official app, and there’s a FOSS alternative.

Personally, I’d use Meshcore. I tried MT for a month or so. I never saw a conversation, just a few scattered “test” messages. Meanwhile, on MC, I was away from my phone for 4 hours yesterday and came back to 250+ coherent messages in a conversation from all over the region (not to mention the hundreds of test messages).

MT is better in ad-hoc situations since clients can repeat messages, but MC is better for establishing a region-wide communication network.

Mesh also allows you to use encryption.

And both use LoRa which is proprietary.

I thought it was neat and installed it, but I had no specific use cases.

It came in handy when I was trying to combine a bunch of PDFs a few weeks later. Then I used it again to remove some pages from another PDF. I like having it around

What about a certified letter? With a law firm’s letterhead.

I can’t say I’ve heard of that before. I’m glad you enjoy it.

I got so frustrated trying to use Word to write a document at work that I just gave up and wrote the whole damn thing in LaTeX. Lots of nested bulleted lists (or worse, numbered lists) and Word do not play nicely.

Sucks to be the guy who has to edit it when I’m gone.

My wild guess is that he’s sitting at a desk with a whole bunch of RAM which is super expensive.

Cornbread: the best way to consume honey.

Lower "L"s and upper "i"s are basically identical in Calibri. It’s a sans serif font that’s hard to read for everyone. Calibri is an shit font and never should have been used on any government documents.

I think I had a stroke reading this.

Guess I’m out of a job.

I feel you. It’s super frustrating. Don’t give up looking though!

Ask some of your friends who have therapists for help. Therapists also seem to know each other, so a friend’s therapist could give a recommendation for someone who might be able to help.

I’ve got a bunch of notes in Trilium.

I have a note for each service with the docker compose file, notes on backups, any weirdness with the setup, and when I update each service. I use Trilium as a crappy version control for the compose file.

I also have a note for the initial setup of my server (mostly setting up docker, setting up mergerfs and snapraid).

Other than that, I have one note for each device for my setup. (Wifi AP, OPNsense router, switch, etc) That I populate with random crap I might need to know later.

I’ve never seen an ad on my car’s screen. My brother’s car from 2013 has a backup camera, and that car literally cannot communicate to any server that could serve ads.

If car companies wanted to put ads on screens, they wouldn’t need an excuse to put in a screen, they’d just do it. But they wouldn’t do that, because ads are a safety hazard and they’d have their pants sued off. I can’t even connect a new Bluetooth device to my car (pressing 1 button) unless the parking brake is applied. Stellantis is in hot water for their braindead attempt at “ads” in their cars, and that’s just a pop-up that shows up when the car is stopped.

Not even Google maps advertises to me when I use Android Auto, and ads are Google’s thing
