I remember being maybe 6 and napping on the “shelf” between the back seat and rear glass if my parents’ boat of a Cadillac. Not like there were seat belts to keep me in place.

I had never noticed this before and this made me laugh for a solid minute. “Why?” indeed.

Inconceivable

No clue. I didn’t make the meme, nor have I seen The Ring.

Look, I really do dislike Linkin Park and always have, but you obviously have no clue about how people or their musical tastes work. You are the one that needs to grow up, both in perspective and empathy.

It is an issue for me because the only machine I have is my daily driver laptop, and I’d really rather not take up even that 35GB if it can be helped.

Sounds like they conceptually understand that engineering time is expensive, but have absolutely no idea about the process they are managing. Kinda like they are paying for the expensive experiments so the people doing them have to have a back log so they are always overworked.

OK, this bot is very useful. Thanks to … whoever.

You are quite right in that it is not a cheap VMS. Since I don’t know 100% how to set thing up, though, the cost might be worth my time.

I may just pay for it and report back as a service to the community.

Yeah, blue collar feels the pain as well.

It’s kind of funny in a way. Most big shops require IT to some degree because CNC machines in the last 20 years or so require networking to pull programs from the NAS. I’m not ignorant by any means in that regard and twice I’ve walked into the IT guy’s office, noticed him trying to be clever using SSH to hang out on IRC while I walked up and pulled the plug on the switch to reset things. Both times, he freaked out but I just pointed to his EFNET chats.

That’s the same motivation that sent me to set up my own machine shop, so kudos there.

Don’t forget that you have to do the whole production run since the apprentice somehow turned the forklift upside down and is out of work.

Ok, but I’ve only a remote idea of what you’re saying. Can you elaborate?

Thanks, I’ll look into this stuff.

I’ve been waiting for the free Oracle cloud to open up (I know that’s super rare). Is there a goof VPS you can recommend?

Yeah, that’s partially why I’d need info as to if this Lemmy host is legit. I have the domain (technically), and if the price jumps I’d be ok with that. I paid upfront for a couple years at $1/yr. Yeah, the registrar might screw me over, but at the price I’ve paid, there’s not a lot of risk. I really need feedback on the Lemmy host.

I will never work a day shift again if I can help it. Absolute misery waking up like that.
