Also a former Joey user, though I switched to Lemmy before Joey stopped working and just used both.

My first apartment had Comcast or DSL. I signed up, a month later I was part of their “experimental” data caps program. During the course of this I had a sales rep call and fell for the pitch. Turns out, he downright committed fraud and made promises that were patently untrue. It took 48 hours of back and forth in various mediums over the course of a month to get the situation resolved.

The solution was to complain on reddit and have an employee give me a one time use code to use Comcast’s VIP support center… Which is ridiculous that it exists in the first place.

I predicated all my subsequent (about 4) moves with “Comcast is not in the area” as a filtering criteria. Fuck Comcast.

You’re describing a sense of nostalgia. And no, I don’t consider it immature.

I will say that getting a question ignored when asked in a manner that is contrary to the rules of that community is normal. People not reading the rules and guidelines and asking inappropriately is very common and results in a lot of burnout.

But you are correct - it takes little effort to not be an asshole, and in those situations one should just move on and let the powers that be clean it up.

Well, I wouldn’t call it’s premium. Unlocked is closer to MSRP, whereas carrier locked is being subsidized by the carrier and whatever requirements they have in place. You’ll usually end up paying more in the long run then if you went with unlocked and a MVNO.

Like usual with us humans and our fickle minds, YMMV.

There are many factors that can impact this, though I would clarify - you aren’t losing memories, they’re there, just harder to access. You aren’t losing your sense of self, it’s evolving - who you are as a person is constantly changing.

For me personally, as someone with aphantasia I’ve never really been in touch with my memories in the first place. I’ve been very much a “in the moment” person - despite that my past experiences do define me, even if I don’t know why.

Oh yes, sorry. I’ve been team AMD for so long I forget lol.

I have the same issue with HDR on Linux I had on Windows - support. But, on KDE Plasma it works well enough that I usually forget it’s working. Before I switched to KDE Plasma though I was on Gnome and it was a tad more difficult.

Undiagnosed but in the same boat - psychiatrist treats me for it.

Although for me it doesn’t matter if I know the person or not, looking into their eyes feel too intimate. But I could by looking at the bridge if their nose, because somehow the brain meat sees that as completely different and people don’t notice (unless they’re like, inches from my face but then we have other problems).

Early on in my career I got hired as a junior systems administrator. The job description was the usual responsibilities around sysadmin work and supporting our employees. And for the most part, it was. I was part of a team of 4 sysadmins and there were about 500 employees at this location. So not a particularly small outfit.

Anyway, they started asking stuff of my not in the description. I got asked to change a door knob, they justified it as appropriate because it was the IT closet.

Then I got asked to change out a security camera near the top of our warehouse. I refused (the ladder wasn’t even rated for my weight), so my immediate boss did it.

A few lightbulbs here and there. Then, the final straw - they asked me to reinsulate the server room. Basically, lift one of the tiles and throw more insulation up there. Given no direction - I got myself a mask and nylon gloves and did it, wish I could say I didn’t and I had quit right then and there, but no - I did it and gave them my 2 weeks the next day. They told me they didn’t need 2 weeks from me. I was fine with that.

And I know, putting in my 2 weeks a day later isn’t exactly a rage quit. But I’m a timid person and a pushover, or was at that time, so to me it certainly felt like it.

Another thing they did was write my up for clocking in while walking into the building. Pulled up the timesheet and the camera footage showing me clocking in a full 5 seconds before entering the building and said I was stealing from the company (basically they showed me the footage of me walking with my phone out and then the timestamp of when I clocked in vs when I entered the building).

The reason I did that was because it was more efficient. I had a set of daily tasks and checks to do and of I started that lost at the rear entrance I could get it done much faster without having to double back.

From that point on you can bet I got into work and took an immediate coffee break on company time before even starting that checklist. Never got written up for that either.

This is what I do - well, I back up there entire container. But functionally the same.

There’s only a few pieces of media that I have backed up manually due to their rarity, but even those I don’t really care about.

No toes were harmed! Well, aside from that confidently incorrect user elsewhere on the post.

Thanks for clarifying! It’s been a while since I’ve worked with IPv6 directly, fortunately it “just works” in my current home environment and since I’m no longer doing colocation for my self hosted stuff it’s on the back burner.

Ah - yeah the /128 is what the ISP used to route traffic to your router. I believe that’s IPv6 PD (prefix delegation) - the router uses DHCPv6, gets given that /128 it’ll use for the ISP, then the ISP delegates the /64 (or other sizes) to the router.

If your ISP is doing to right IPv6 should be setup for SLAAC, in which case they would give you an entire /64. I don’t use OpenWRT, but I assume it’s showing you the IPv6 /64 from IPv6-PD used for SLAAC, and the /128 the router is using to communicate with the ISP If it’s SLAAC your client devices should be getting two IPv6 addresses as well. One is for privacy, that’s the one websites will see when you connect but can’t be hit, and the other is the one you would use to reach your computer from another device.

I’m getting off a two week break. I wouldn’t say I’m overwhelmed just… Exhausted by the thought.

Also think I should try week long breaks more often…

An AIO or air cooler aren’t as impactful as the environment in my experience. Throw your computer in the corner of a room and that AIO ain’t gonna help.

If you do go AIO, make sure you do it right.

Either case, good airflow design does wonders - air cooled or AIO.

I was looking at building a new PC but I can’t stomach paying 5x the price for RAM. I’ll just have to wait it out. Though if the price of components other than RAM lower I might consider buying up parts, I’ll just have to watch.

When I was 15 or so I was hired from an ad on Craigslist for photo editing - just basic touching up, but like a thousand or so photos. The caveat was - softcore porn. I didn’t mind, money is money. My very Christian family who found out however - they did mind. My sister ended up finishing the editing for me.
