Track_ShovelBoredom is universal

Midnight WolfGreat, now instead of just being bored, I get to manage three servers and two dozen public-facing services that I have to maintain for a growing number of users, along with the servers themselves, as any cog in this machine may break and burst into flames like a house of cards… and still be bored with the added stress.
Yaaaaay, hobbies…
This hobby would be significantly better if it came with a six-figure salary
☂️-
Barbecue CowboyIf the cogs didn’t break occasionally, I feel like it wouldn’t be a very good hobby.
Yeah, though anxiety and self-perfection make every task dreadful and stressful when anyone else is impacted; doesn’t matter if it’s the family vaultwarden instance or a game server needing an update to become available again, all of it is AHHHHHHHH

spittingimageEver thought about shitcanning all of that and just folding some paper cranes?
I’m in too deep. Save yourself!
agamemnonymousYou misunderstood, this wasn’t an analogy. The secret to enrichment is literally putting raw hamburger in a pumpkin and rolling it around your home.
I run basically all my stuff through docker containers, and have…
NAS:
- BentoPDF
- Clam-Shell (discord bot using clamav)
- FreshRSS
- Haven (discord alternative)
- Kitchen Owl
- Linkwarden
- LubeLogger
- MeshCentral (for me to admin systems)
- Nametag (relationship organizer and visual map)
- Owncast (streaming, for myself)
- Plex
- Radicale
- Red (discord multifunction bot)
- RustDesk
- Snipe-IT
- Uptime Kuma
- Vaultwarden
- Wallos (subscription manager)
- Wireguard
- YourLastFM (for myself)
ThinkServer - Proxmox:
- Debian 13, running BOINC
- Home Assistant
- Windows Server 2022, running Motor Town dedi
VPS:
- American Truck Simulator dedi
- BeamMP dedi x7
- Duplicati (for backups)
- FiveM
- Minecraft
I have stuff offline like a Satisfactory dedi, and the docker container for Euro Truck Simulator is broken for whatever reason… and stuff that is running for admin purposes that I won’t list since security and all that (and a couple ‘bare metal’ services too). My users are family, close friends, and members of my discord/have gaming community that have brought in over the last few years.
Y’all have money left for hobbies?
SquigglezYeah I have a 4-day work week. Not with full pay of course, just 80% as well.
I have an app for that, I mostly just do the daily rewards now tho.
Or “ground beef” or “hamburger meat”
One thing we rarely if ever call it is “minced” or “mince.”
To my American mind that suggests it’s been cut into tiny pieces with a knife, not ground through a grinder.
Mincing is something you do to an onion, or in stiletto heels and a knee-trappingly-tight skirt.
ZachariahOr mince around.
jivandabeastI feel like “hamburger meat” implies the inclusion of seasoning whereas “ground beef” is literally just the meat
In the places I’ve lived “raw hamburger” is pretty rare. Ground beef and hamburger meat are common.
In French we call it “chopped steak”
Are you sure it’s not called a royale with steak? Because of the metric system?
Chopped Royale
Does Lemmy count as social media?
schnurritoI think so, yes.
I have been posting things on websites that allow the general public to participate since my childhood, that is, for more than 20 years. At the time I was familiar with “forums”, slightly later also “wikis” and “blogs”… I have no idea why or even when exactly the world started to insist on that strange term “social media” to describe some poorly defined subset of such websites. 🤔
Controversial take here:
In my opinion, if you’re just here to shit post and not actually use your “socializing” brain, then no. Like when you’re picking the weird options in Skyrim and then restoring your last save.
But if you’re committing to the actions and this is your “real playthrough”, then yes.
Yeah i do sometimes just shit post on here, but I’m also trying to treat it like forums in the pre social media age when you could recognize a few users just by their user name. I am also trying to contribute to the “community” aspect.
Hell yes, get rid of anything that’s an algorithm.
If you can’t run out of content on the platform you’re on, it’s a bad thing.
Use youtube clients that follow users
Browse text platforms that let you follow communities.
TT, IG, /all, and shorts are where your brain goes to die.
TJA!Everything that’s on your phone has an algorithm.
It’s like saying I don’t eat things with chemicals in it.
Group chats with Friends? Games? Ebooks? There might be algorithms associated with those somewhere, but you’d have to go digging for them.
Chats: an algorithm decides the order of the messages shown Games: a lot of algorithms everywhere. Ebooks: eg algorithms are used to decode the drm of you are using a Kindle.
You don’t need to dig very deep.
mfed1122We should use technical words in a technically correct way, or else public discourse becomes obscured and confused. Like what Discord did with the word “Server”, it’s not innocuous even when people are doing it by accident.
Language isn’t set in stone, and when people use the term “algorithm” when referring to the system in place that decides what content is put in front of them, people understand what they mean. No one gets this algorithm mixed up with the math/computer science term algorithm.
The discord one is slightly different, but I’d argue it isn’t that harmful, as Discord “servers” function effectively as a server from a user point of view. The only problem with this nomenclature is that it somewhat implies to a layperson that there is some form of privacy/security in place, which there isn’t.
Technically correct, but I think you know what the above user meant.
gandalf_der_12terecommendation algorithm
though i reckon lemmy has one too, just a more transparent one
Ahh yes, the old “things are bad so we shouldn’t worry about making them any better” argument.
That’s not what I wrote. It’s just that they were complaining about the wrong thing. Algorithms are not bad, just how they are sometimes used is bad.
I don’t say " the sun is bad, we should get rid of the sun", when I get a sunburn. I will protect myself from this specific problem by other means ( sunscreen).
Well I didn’t write anything about phones, I was talking about social media echo-chambers, but you took that there.
Okay then let’s get rid of the phone, it was just an example either way. Every program consists of algorithms, no matter where it is installed: in your phone, car or TV. In a street light, a digital thermometer or a smoke detector.
You wrote:
get rid of anything that’s an algorithm.
If we do that, no digital thing will work anymore. It’s not just social media. Or phones. It’s everything.
Brave Little Hitachi Wand“I angrily reject this joke in a politically awakened manner.”
This could be the type specimen of a Lemmy comment
swab148I’m with you. There’s a word for this. It’s called zoochosis, a play on psychosis. The animals in zoos play with their faeces, eat their faeces, pace, sway etc, because they’re BORED FUCKING SHITLESS. A tiger, like all animals, do not deserve to be locked up in prison and gawked at by idiots with cameras for the crime of being born the wrong species. Fuck zoos so fucking hard.
Ever had a conversation with a person about two different topics at the same time but each topic is being talked about in a different app, in real time?
My wife does this.
Our text DMs are about the kids.
Our family chat DMs (Zulip, which is a open-source version of Slack/discord) is full of memes.

Did you do this to brag, or to avoid the FOSS Enforcement Patrol?
