    What is that saying, ‘lack of planning on your part doesn’t constitute an emergency on my part’ or something.

    My friends know that they only call me if their house is actively on fire, they are being robbed at gunpoint, or they just won the lottery and want to split the winnings. Family also includes lunch/dinner plans. Only exception is when we have planned a call for a date and time, otherwise you’re greeting my voicemail. Landlines is the exact same situation. I might be taking a shower, asleep, taking a dump, getting freaky with a friend; it doesn’t matter. Leave a text message and I’ll get back as soon as I’m done crying from taco tuesday, or finishing waking up the neighbors with moans and screams, or whatever else.

    Email is ‘sometime today’ communication, and gets handled at the beginning or end of the day, or whenever I’m on the can. Anyone expecting a rapid response via email is a proper dunce.




  • I’m about to blow your mind: the IT Crowd has a live studio audience. One of the specials goes over each cast member and shows bloopers and such, and you can see them in several shots. I believe they also talk briefly about the audience, though it’s been a while. If I remember right, they would take the audience reactions of two takes and sort of merge them together.




  • Tbh, for me there’s just a couple of ‘creators’ I watch that do it for their careers, and they didn’t start that way; the rest (50 or so subs) still do it ‘right’, even years later. YouTube started as a platform where everyone can create and share, and people who saw an opportunity for money helped turn it into the shit that it is today. When you (them) have multiple sponsorships per video, the production quality matching broadcast television, prominently show off your new car, house, jet… You (them) are the problem.

    This needs a reset back to goofy video game machinimas, cyber police, hiiii my name is boxxy, arby n the chief; when people who hit record didn’t want money. They were there to share with others.








  • As someone who bought a Supermicro board 6 weeks ago and was super happy to learn about IPMI: oh no.

    I flashed the latest bmc firmware and bios the day I got it running (also fuck paywalling the bmc UI for bios updates), but… 😬

    E: holy shit it truncates passwords to 19 characters. One of my weakest passwords, in the bottom 10 of like 450 passwords.

    E2: I can’t disable KCS, I can’t disable the IPMI (short of unplugging the ethernet cable), I can’t disable the default user or limit the privileges, so I had delete my user, login as the default, then change the username and password to my user creds. Like, wow.
