‘The man I think I know’ by Mark Gayle. No kingdoms at war or cyborgs. Just a good read about male friendship with an interesting starting point.

Poke most devs and you will find that the sysadmin stuff unnerves them. Talk to a sysadmin about their programming skills and they will start to twitch. The lesser known is always more intimidating and fascinating than what we already know.

Your message reads like you are either speaking out of disappointment or you have overly ideal views of work. Don’t live your life in a metaphorical or real box :-)

Be kind but consistent. When I have had drama it tended to be over non-technical issues such as pay, time-off, notice period, stuff like that. It’s best your team respects you first and likes you second.

I’m getting older and somewhat dismayed at how people want to punish others for their viewpoint. I am told I must be more tolerant by people who want to sack, ban and punish others for having a different point of view. I would not support y

You just need a long piece of wire, diode, ferrite coil wth wire wrapped around, variable resistor and old style ear piece to pick up am radio. No batteries required. I can remember my son’s lack of interest while we made the venerable crys

I agree we are in a golden age of ham tech but older hams than me (like my friend GI0LZR) talk about days when the radio bands were more open. This is ham speak for sending/receiving more frequent long distance calls. I think we may be

I have thought about this issue deeply and my answer is religious as I am a religious person. I have found that feelings of needing to be successful (and dissatisfaction) often follow reading about the rich and famous. It goes like this...I

I’ve been playing bass in churches for 30 years. I really enjoy listening to Hillsong’s music and playing it. In the 80s we had lively songs and pensive songs. I enjoy the modern style of quiet songs which become epic anthems.

What am I working on? I just replaced a resistor in my car’s aircon to fix it. Feeling mighty pleased with myself. Not the answer you were expecting but javascript wasn’t going to fix this bad boy ;-)

I am old enough to be your Father. If you were my son or daughter I would say give yourself a break. I would also say don’t think that 2% of success stories you read about on hacker news are most people’s experience. I would say give up try

Walking. Trying to be happy in a demanding job is tiring. Your brain needs a break. Get out into nature with a flask and a sandwhich. Pay attention to your surroundings and don’t overthink as you walk. Your brain will thank you for it.

I’m happy. Only issue I had was missing how 16.04 managed workspaces. It was easy to default back to unity rather than gnome in 18.04 and use workspaces the way I liked. You can select unity or gnome at login.
