Partner was thoroughly surprised last night when I showed up :3 and completely appreciated the effort I made to travel (about an hour on PT)
I'm off to the partner's place tonight though. They don't know ;)
They've been feeling down tonight, so figured me popping in for the night would be a welcome surprise :)
Script written for the podcast episode on Tales from Tech Support 👌 this will be a recurring segment, trust me ;)
Also, I'm gonna post the full transcript on my Patreon, it's a behind the scenes thing so I figure it's not that bad :)

It might just not be too late for YouTube to implement a Patreon-like sponsoring feature
Self-hosting is a lifestyle choice.
I had a lot of fun writing this nmcli script and here's why I started it:
Gotta write a batch script to replace files in a user's directory from a restore once they log into their machine for the first time. Fucking SIDs XD
Tech Support Horror Story time! Lay them on me and the best will be put into the podcast!
This is the second time I field for stories, so if you responded last time, pick a different one ;)

Who wants to hear me interview @BryanLunduke on my podcast? 😄
Almost at the end of the day, had about a ton (literally) of ewaste to throw out today. Six months of buildup at a hospital that's decommissioning will do that!
Printers, machines, monitors, even old dictophones! Yes, multiple dictophones.
Not surprised though, considering it's doctors.
So today I'm visiting at a most decommissioned hospital site and this is gorgeous (and kinda creepy) stuff! Check out this old lecture theatre 👌
The indescript "user has problem with outlook calendar" detail was the fault of the level 1 tech sending the ticket up to us. Oh boy.
"User needs help with their calendar"...this is all the information I have on the ticket...
mastodon/twitter meta, negative, violence implied Show more
Also, why does it bother me when anime shows up in my feed? I have nothing against the Japanese and I barely know any weebs, so...wtf is up with me on that one?
If someone amasses a large following, is it irresponsible to boost/retweet on principle or does context and audience matter when answering that question?
