  • now that i think about it, this would be handy for remote support techs walking a user on-site on what to do…

    “you see the 3rd switch from the top that has the cisco logo? i’ll need you to power cycle it”

    2 hours later

    “oh i found it”

    vs.

    “you see the girl with the blue hair? unplug the box her hair’s connected to”




  • thanks. i have a laptop i deliberately installed debian on… but that’s about it lol

    i’ll take you up on the support suggestion too… i recently had to figure out why a unix server went down at work. luckily we had a set of scripts and commands archived from the manager that supported it before he left. all i did was just run them with a little bit of logic and context applied, but it forced me to poke around a bit and seeing what each command did. i was careful enough not to break anything but i found it quite interesting


  • i feel like i’m not actually against ads. i’m against the abuse of ads, that take away from the user experience…

    i won’t mind seeing an ad if it doesnt get in the way of what i need to do on the pc. i don’t need an ad popping up when im trying to work on something, launch an application, download a file, etc. an ad in the corner, big enough for me to be aware of it, but obscure enough to not interrupt me will serve its purpose.

    problem is, ad exposure is non-regulated and i can’t believe how the constant ad spamming doesn’t seem to phase a lot of people.


  • that being said… what’s a good website i can at least go to and learn some linux basics and progress to more advanced stuff? i’d at least want to check that out before i start bugging people…

    i had the opportunity to take a class back in college but 18 yr old me couldn’t handle a 7am class and know-it-alls in the back always interrupting the teacher and trying to show off in class…







  • My wife has this issue all the time and she says it’s her tell for when she’s dreaming. She often uses it as a que to help her lucid dream

    my tell is when i snap the rubber bands i usually wear on my wrists… in dreams, i feel nothing when the band snaps against the skin

    i had one recently and i tried to make myself fly after realizing it was lucid, but couldn’t lol… i also thought about jumping off a cliff but my brain still said no that’s still a bad idea… my sub-concious is trained i guess
