OMG I forgot all about WAP gateways …

$500 a year?!? Hey buddy, thanks for looking after our IT systems, here’s an extra $1.50 a week …

same.

I’ve worked for several very, very rich men. The pattern I notice is that they always get surrounded by people who make sure that they never, ever hear “no”.

Imagine living in a world where every inane thing that comes out of your mouth, somebody immediately makes it their mission to try and make it happen. You no longer get any kind of useful feedback from the world and your opportunities to learn from feedback are greatly reduced.

I agree, I think in the end, it does make them crazy.

Yeah, so worth it! The first time I moved a service to a new box and realised all I had to do was copy the compose file and docker-compose up -d … I was sold.

Now I’m moving everything to Docker Swarm which is a new adventure. :-)

Another old school sysadmin that “retired” in the early 2010s.

Yes, use docker-compose. It’s utterly worth it.

I was intensely irritated at first that all of my old troubleshooting tools were harder to use and just generally didn’t trust it for ages, but after 5 years I wouldn’t be without.

I’m really liking the look of stalwart, but it’s quite new. Mailu seems to be pretty nice, good features and not too resource heavy. Mailcow does everything, but it’s a 🐷.

THIS SO MANY TIMES.

Put the cone on yourself and you’ll know instantly why dogs hate it. :-)

We did the long sleeved thing four one of our collies and it worked great.

In my early-20s I remember getting super baked and spending my rent money for the week on Sonic the Hedgehog ice creams.

At current rent prices that seems insane, but back then I was paying $30 a week for “alcove” in a warehouse. 🤣
