  • I despise the ones where it’s basically like “get on the bus, we’re having mandatory fun!” and then you get going and it won’t finish until 2 hours past your quitting time, but it’s totally cool, because it’s a good time!

    OTOH, I’m not at all interested in sports and I’ve had a good time going to a baseball game and once a company took me to an arcade which was a lot of fun. Alcohol provided by the company.

    For me, as long as quitting time stays quitting time, I’m more or less happy even if I don’t actually like the event, but if you keep me away from my family, I’m unhappy and I can’t imagine how pissed the people who pick up their kids from work/school/etc… must have been.








  • Weirdness: My Authentik instance had a PostgreSQL upgrade prerequisite in order to update it.

    I’d followed instructions 3-4 times completely unsuccessfully and had to keep reverting to backup.

    So, I gave up for a couple weeks and left it be in order to get over my frustration.

    Yesterday, I followed the instructions again. As far as I can tell, I did nothing different than I’d tried previously and it worked first try and then I was also able to upgrade Authentik.

    NOTE: The instructions aren’t exactly difficult! So, I don’t see how I’d have gotten it wrong!


  • I don’t like marijuana at all for myself (tried it twice with different methods of delivery) and found it to be extremely unpleasant.

    I don’t see why that should affect other people’s ability to choose for themselves to enjoy it or not though. Why should they go through rehab just for enjoying something that’s not negatively affecting them?

    If I’ve had pineapples personally negatively impact my life, should I get to say you can’t have any?


  • In my experience, Zoomers largely lack a lot of computer skills (specifically in troubleshooting), but, for me the huge difference between them and the older folks has been that the older folks will say things like “I’m just not a computer person ::laugh::” and refuse to be shown how to do anything whereas the Zoomer just doesn’t know, yet, but are more than willing to learn.

    ETA: NOTE: that’s just the generalized trend … some of the most knowledgeable technical people I’ve met are Boomers and some of the best computer techs I’ve worked with have been Zoomers.


  • Yeah, my problem with it is that it’s always something. I’ve been giving it a go about once a year since they forked from Emby and everytime something has made me drop it.

    If I’m having problems with it the handful of times I go to watch something using it, the people I share with DEFINITELY would and now I have to handle their auth crap myself as well.

    I’ll probably prioritize just keeping a server going side by side now for a lot longer than a month or two at a time and try to find solutions to my problems. it’s never really been a priority before since Plex worked, but the writing has been on the wall for a while now that the enshittification is in full swing and now I need to make sure I’m ahead of it.

    Blah, this sucks.
