This was fake news.

Why didn't the eagles just fly the ring to Mordor?!

Bell's chat support is *excruciating* to deal with goddamn.

Been a hell of a week, running around due to a 6-monthaversary of a forced password reset for the company, events transpiring in and around the office, and also some flak being dished by some higher ups for shit that I don’t even have anything to do with.

Bright side: it’s the weekend and I’m thankful for it.

It’s unfortunate that some folks think that the way to convince people that they’re wrong is to bully them into submission.

It's funny how when Google provides enterprise management profile templates, that they're no longer fucking valid. What a joke. NONE of the preferences set in the template work.

Just a heads up, to suppress the first-run dialog, you just have to set two preferences:

DefaultBrowserSettingEnabled: true/false
MetricsReportingEnabled:
true/false

More info in an upcoming blog post like, within the next month, I wanna say?

Just an idea of what I've been working on. God this has been a huge pain but I know it'll all be worth it once I'm able to re-install all the dashboards within a week!

Turns out you can’t set gsettings stuff during the preseed stage :( so I just made a custom binary by editing the settings on an existing install and will copy that into the user’s .config/dconf folder 🤷‍♀️

Goodness, this preseed stuff is amazing, I just wish I could have the gsettings stuff apply during the success_command sequence. I have a workaround that involves just copying over a modified database schema but obviously that’s not preferrable...

Goddamnit I forgot a curly braces!

I love how effective setting a ticket to "Waiting for: User" is in getting a response! :D

Not having much of a blast anymore trying to figure out grub boot menus :(

Having a blast setting up a preseed file for a work project :D Ubuntu 18.04 on a dashboard mini PC called a Minix

Fucking tell me I'm pretty
