I love gen-Z's attitude towards corporate culture ( lemmy.world )

i recently lost my job and it’s horrible being in the ‘unemployed’ class – you’re made to feel worthless, you have to take advice from people, perfectly well meaning of course, that are basically encouragement on digging your own grave - i love being in the position where i have to do some fake elizabethian courting...

Accounting would be their dream. Or accounting at a windshield wiper company.

If you want a good job you’re going to have to feign at least a little excitement once.

Knights among toner cartridges ( infosec.pub )

(Business people) speaking a language familiar and dear to them. Its portentous nouns and verbs invest ordinary events with high adventure; executives walk among toner cartridges, caparisoned like knights. We should tolerate them - every person of spirit wants to ride a white horse. -William Strunk Jr. (The Elements of Style)

The one up side to the open floor plan at work is it makes throwing nerf darts at co workers across the office easier.

Nothing is better when you’re frustrated than beaming a dart at your buddy, or starting a dart war.

When you’re not involved it sucks, but when you are it’s amazing. I’ve gotten really good at ignoring them, but it took years.

Now a quad copter in the office sounds awful. How tall are your ceilings?

… No? Have you never worked in a fun work environment? Nerf fights in offices are not that uncommon.

I can’t find any (good) videos of it, but I do have a video of a drunk co worker trying to play golf with fake poop.

If you don’t want to be involved then people won’t throw darts at you. It’s only people that want to be involved (sans the odd failed throw). Everyone in our office at least enjoys them.

There’s only one person who doesn’t like them, but she has her own office and is a massive hypocrite so she can fuck off.

I’m sorry to hear about your poor working environment. Can I offer you a dart in these trying times?

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble ,

Nah, it’s actually pretty fun. Try having fun some time.

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble ,

You get used to it. I’ve gotten to that point that a dart to the back of the head, or hitting my monitor doesn’t even make me flinch, and I don’t lose my train of though. I’ll wrap up what I was working on, then fire back.

Compared to Arch Linux then yeah you’ll save a ton of money almost guaranteed. But something like Windows? Good luck trying to calculate that.

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble ,

I mean you’d have to be pretty insane to use Arch on an actual server.

That or a masochist.

Debian uses like 200MBs of ram for a basic fresh install. That’s negligible.

Unless you’re deploying 500 virtual machines on a single server, that all run a single simple basic task the base ram usage of the OS shouldn’t even be a factor.

Unfortunately the boss man decided to stick with VMware instead of migrating to proxmox. Sadly there’s no good migration solutions for proxmox unless you’re ok with a lot of down time.

Maybe if they can make a live convert tool I can convince him to make the switch. But until we can get past the hurdle of converting everything painfully we’re stuck.
