Pro tip: after a dentist visit, if your mouth is still numb it will be difficult to drink a shot. Half will go on your face.

This is the type of experimentation that needs to occur more on ML

@kelly said in What is your perspective on the overall tone of interactions here on ML?:

First off, I do not want to have some kind of discussion about civility or point fingers. However, I have noticed from a number of threads that there is a general tendency in the community to find something about a post/topic/thread that is wrong/inaccurate/incomplete and focus on that item to the (to me) detriment of the overall thread.

Am I being too sensitive, or can this be a somewhat hostile place at times? (Telling me that I'm wrong here is not being hostile, btw.)

When I first came here I thought the need for absolute perfection (semantics as an example) was a negative, but I can honestly say that isn't the case. I have been much more accurate with what I am discussing on interviews and it's directly related to this community. At the same time a thread becomes naturally hostile when someone attacks the person instead of the concept being discussed, regardless of how wrong they are. I've been incorrect a lot of the time and when civil discourse occurs it's extremely beneficial for everyone.

Update on my home build:

I guess im a fucking noob.. i dont know.

If we had signatures this would be my signature. I'm just putting that out into the universe.

First day back from vacation. Feel very at ease--obviously very needed. Had a great time at PAX East with a ton of great people I haven't seen in a long time

I want to. My boss actually asked me today how much it costs as if he is considering paying for it as well, but I have no idea. I told him the time off by itself would be great.

@DustinB3403 I'd be surprised if they escape the 'weighing options' loop. Few do.

I farted.

No link to the article? Pft.

It requires the new technology known as Smellivision to be able to experience it correctly.

Good news everyone! We've already developed this technology eons ago

NTG's a very different environment. Unlike traditional companies, NTG hires for the long haul and has internal development and such. It even provides lab capacity What applies most places really doesn't apply there.

Oh. Is that a US mentality? Companies in the UK still generally hire for the long haul and have internal development, especially large companies (maybe not so much in SMB where career progression is limited). I'd say the majority of my friends that work in IT have worked at the same place for years (20+ years in many cases).

Almost all companies claim to do this, what they actually do is a little different.

Reminds me of the job postings for places like Taco Bell where they want "energetic individuals who are passionate about our company." And advertise that they offer "great growth potential and a dynamic workplace."

If you aren't passionate about a 7 layer burrito I don't think we can be friends

@NerdyDad said in DC seems to have fallen off the Domain:

Scratch that. Its fixed. Thanks @Dashrender. That article led me to the right answer and cause of action.

I don't have a firewall on this server, but the conflict in AV's is what caused the issue and trying to keep the system secured.

It's not uncommon for Symantec products to not fully or correctly uninstall

Off to a cracking good start this morning ML. Posts are coming far faster than I can read them.

Cool, I had not noticed it being that busy.

Perhaps it's me, I dont often indulge much past 930am until the afternoon

@MattSpeller on ML

I upgraded Nextcloud and for some reason two-factor authentication activated on my admin account. Since I couldn't access my admin account I needed to find a way via cli to disable two factor authentication, but because it wasn't configured there was no folder in /var/www/html/nextcloud/apps for me to rename, etc. Below is the command I found that worked for me.

sudo -u apache php occ config:system:set twofactor_enforced --value=false

Note: You have to run the command as apache, or if you're using Debian www-data.

I don't really know how to react to it. They were at a Disney resort on a man made lake. They were from Nebraska and it said no swimming but there was no sign that gave any warning of gators. The dad ran into the water to fight the alligator but couldn't rescue his son. He was standing right next to him when it happened. I think of it like, you go to look at your TV and your kid gets up on the coffee table and falls. You could say the parent is negligible but it happens to every parent. I feel really bad for them honestly. There is no comfort in what happened.

@siringo To add to @scottalanmiller's comment, if you want something that looks good and is easily readable you can pair Zabbix with Grafana.

@dafyre said in Gaming - What's everyone playing / hosting / looking to play:

If anybody cares, Ubisoft is having a 30 year celebration... 1 game a month will be free for the next 7 months, according to their site...

https://30years.ubi.com

I think I saw this on here somewhere... if so, credits to original poster.

Ubisoft servers tho

Is the consensus that this is an insane question to ask and I shouldn't worry about it? I'm not exactly worried but I realized how little I know about it

Hail Satan and pass the tylenol.

At least they contact you. Sometimes I hear "This has been broken for two weeks" and I want to kill myself

My thought was just giving some trusted people here moderator status so we can just delete it ourselves. there is at least 5 people willing to do this and we're on here all the time
