There are two potential issues:

- Do the support people understand Irish?

Went over my head. Sorry, over-caffeinated and feeling bad-tempered.
Something I hear from Indian call centres and outsourced teams is "Do the needful". Drives me up the wall for some reason.

@DogsB me too. Company^-3 I worked for, had a chap from India as the lead developer, it made for interesting times with things like that.

The one the bothers me the most, for some reason, is "Correct." Not actually meaning "You are correct." More like, "Ok," "Mm, hmm," "I'm following you so far; keep going."

My favorite part of living in Texas:
At least it's only a watch, not a warning, so far.
Edit: Also, the weather here is pretty mild, so far: warm, humid, cloudy, intermittent light rain, not much wind, no thunder or lightning. We had a moderate thunderstorm last night, but quiet today.
Edit²: The forecast radar shows some nasty weather developing in about an hour, but mostly a few miles (or more) north and east of here. But that's a forecast, and we all know how reliable weather forecasts are; all hell could break loose right here.
EditÂł: Reloaded the radar page. It's a bit difficult to get any clear patterns, because the forecast is blocky, with straight-line edges to some of the data, and data popping into and out of view seemingly at random, but it shows a really nasty cell popping into existence right here at 16:30 local, which is about an hour and a half from now.
-
@HardwareGeek The tornado watch has expired with no tornadoes that I'm aware of, and that downpour at 16:30 never materialized. That leaves only the flood advisory due to heavy rain, which amuses me a bit because, not only do I live on fairly high ground with good drainage â I've never seen any more accumulation of water than puddles â but we've gotten
approximately zero rain todaya little more rain than I realized in the last half-hour or so â there are puddles in the back yard, and the trees are dripping, but it never rained hard enough for me to hear it hitting the roof. There's a bit of distant thunder at the moment, but no significant rain.
-
@HardwareGeek said in The Official Status Thread:
flood advisory due to heavy rain
It's always fun when you have to be aware of rain 100s of miles away... I'm thinking of when I hiked the Narrows in Zion National Park... (no storms in the area when I did - they had signs at the start of the canyon)
(not me - just a google image)
-
@dcon There are canyons in the area, but I don't live in one, so that's not a concern to me, at least not at home.

Status: Waiting for a support live chat on some website. Before getting connected to an agent (if one even exists), it sent some system messages asking for some info, then said that a rep would be with me shortly. Since then, every minute or so it's been sending a message saying essentially "you're next in line, please keep waiting", and making a noise every time. I don't want to mute the tab, because I do want to hear when an actual agent shows up; I wish they would just suppress the noise for these automatic system messages. Or just tell me "nobody's home, come back later or send an email" because that's the most likely explanation, unless the person currently talking to the only agent in the place has a monster of a problem

@hungrier They seem to have nailed replicating the feeling of waiting for phone support.

But it's a mutable variable, so it can be redeclared as long as you're not mixing the type.

He usually does PHP, iirc. That's like jumping 5 levels on the hack-purity scale.

@topspin Yes, I usually do PHP, but my misspent youth does include assembly for the ZX Spectrum.
At some point I got too lazy to do hard things, I guess :(

Status: pondering how much I want to exercise my frustration.
Attempting to spin up long lost office infrastructure. The IP range overlaps my home network (naturally) so simply plugging it into my network is.... Not working (expected). Apparently, the router can't figure out how to direct packets into my network (and to the gateway) for stuff it doesn't take care of itself, and I'm a dumb dumb that can't figure out how to tell it how to do the needful.
Also, one of the drives seems to have failed. Woohoo.

Sounds like a typical @Tsaukpaetra day.

I can't blame it, honestly.

If the networks overlap and the office router has the same IP as your infrastructure, you can't run them both on the same LAN side segment. If you have management access to the office router, feel free to DM me or tag me in a help thread with more details of what you're trying to accomplish and I can help.

Honestly I don't need to be able to access my home shit from within the "office" network. It would be totally fine to be double-NAT'd in this case.
But apparently having the uplink's IP be "inside" the same subnet is fantastically confusing I guess.

Maybe in a few days, this was just a spot check to see if the recovered equipment even powered on at all.
So far I've had to reconstruct the main router from memory, one of the RAID drives is dying, and I need to replace SFP cables for the server, but so far nothing seems completely lost so far...

Last time I wrote any Rust must have been 2-3 years ago in 2015.
Drawing a Perlin-noise-colored hexagonal grid.

@Zecc well, hopefully you wrapped that up in a library, who knows when you might need it again.

Well, obviously, but Iâm in that awful space where I now know just enough to have ideas that are impractical, get excited over them anyway and then hit the wall of frustration.

That âI know
kung-fuRustâ moment just before Morpheus hands me my ass anyway.I wrote a web server as my second ever rust program.
Well, not an actual web server, it was a REST service on top of a crate that did all the web servery stuff for me. Wasn't much worse than any other language to be honest.
Some day I'll write an actual and usable thing in Rust. :dreams:

Like, I don't know, throwing a completely random example out here, thinking about making a game based on an hexagonal grid?
-
@Zecc completely random, huh?
See, that's kind of my problem, I'll have an idea like that and then die on Scope Creep Hill. :(

@Arantor: watch out for the side effects. If you notice a urge to honk at people or strange accented letters appearing in your posts, discontinue use of Rust immediately.
-
@Zerosquare I thought the entire point of Rust was to avoid side effects though? :P

With no side effects in your code, they have to go somewhere else. Good luck in your lojban adventures. I recommend staying away from databases that donât have known good backup systems.
-
@izzion I'm pretty sure lojban would be a very large side effect I completely want to avoid.
No signs of honking or accented letters yet.

You set it up by hand instead of rolling something like TrueNAS Scale?
