status waisting time on my phone while supervising someone doing the needful on a server through my pc
How can you work with your phone on your waist? I just waste battery when I leave it there...

I’d absolutely hate it if I had to write a 2-page paper for work right now.
I managed to get out of writing the Software Design Document.

@Zenith said in The Official Status Thread:
Your forgot group projects!
That's something I really lucked out with... All my group projects (I only remember ones in college and post-grad) were actually pretty well balanced.

TIL the Polish translation of that title is "Sprzedawca śmieci", which means a "trash merchant".

Status: Just landed a big set of feature change branches that purge some of the stupider parts of our data model. My github contributions now look a lot busier for the past year than a few minutes ago…

Status: I iz refugee! Cast from the Promised Land of my basement office, which has become a swamp, and forced into the terrible wilderness of *shudder* open-plan offices.
Also, I go away for one day and turns out the certificate expired on the mail server and the social insurance software database needs updating and everyone's got a problem I need to deal with.
On the bright side, none of the gear got swamped.

Yes, yes it does. I had bronchitis one year in grad school--that was bad enough. Hope you get better quickly.

X-rays to diagnose, and some antibiotics. Better move fast because when I contracted pneunomia I had to deal with the after effects for years.

XRay: "IMPRESSION: Small right effusion with mild atelectasis in the right base."
They have me taking azithromycin.

Status: This was a pretty unproductive day. Nothing I did worked, you couldn't really tell the difference if I had done nothing at all.

Status: Did not sleep well. Have no clue what I'm doing with my life. Depression/hopelessness kicking in. Phone thinks I'm in Sanilac county, Michigan.

Status: Just realized I doxxed myself by joining the Discord server. Not particularly stressed, 'coz it's not like I was keeping myself particularly anonymous.

@GOG said in The Official Status Thread:
I doxxed myself
Wondered about that, but didn't point it out. I didn't find it particularly doxxy personally.

As someone who doesn’t understand discord:
What is it doxxing? Do others see which servers you are on, for example?

status Woot! The disk mounting brackets arriving between July 9 and July 16 just shipped!
Not woot: They're still scheduled for arrival between July 9-16. Via USPS. So that's probably an accurate estimate.
-
@dcon said in The Official Status Thread:

Mine is entering and leaving carrier facilities.
And still DHL has no fucking clue that the package even exists...
-
@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:

USPS doesn't know about mine yet either. But I did just check as soon as I got the email... I'll have a better idea (probably) tomorrow.
-
@topspin It's not so much a Discord thing, but a username thing. The username I have on Discord can be resolved (with some effort) into my real name and since I am (or rather was) a somewhat public person, it's not too difficult to use my real name to identify the individual.

Sigh. Next corporate webcast I have a choice of 6a or 5:30p. How 'bout neither.

Status: Out of the blue, fuckin' both arrived today!
Well, time to see how well I can fudge NIC configurations.
We'll see how soon I come back online in about 15 minutes when I start the transfer...
-
@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:
soon I come back
And back!
And with (*sigh*) new IPv6 addresses too.
At this point I feel like making a waste-a-ipv6-address generator...
Edit: Mother. Fucker. The silk-screened labels for the Ethernet ports are BACKWARDS!!!! I.e. igb0 is labeled "LAN 4" while igb3 is labeled "LAN 1".

Status: Mostly finished with the "April" snack crate. Overall, the treats for April were a bit too sweet. Now onto my "May" themed snack crate, seemingly more tame so far and I just dug into this: Don Taco's Roasted Corn Flavored Tortilla Chips
Here's a picture of the bag
These are really delicious, definitely taste like what they say they are and show on the bag. I would love to have more than just the one bag, or some possibility of finding similarly flavored chips locally.

Status: Booting fails at the following screen, but only if I haven't entered the BIOS first:
If I enter the BIOS and immediately (or delayed, timing does not matter) it boots just fine. If the OS reboots or I power it on, then it sticks forever.
Why the hell is there an ISA bus on this piece of shit?!?!
-
@Tsaukpaetra
Maybe you should unlock that Giant
-
@Tsaukpaetra For the RTC, the PIC, a few other bits and bobs and odds and ends, the i8042 keyboard controller that's now solely used for being told "yes, this OS supports more than 1MB of RAM, so let the A20 line go free" ... In order to be PC compatible, there's a hell of a lot of legacy crap you need to emulate.

Have you checked websites such as this one? They may be able to send them to you:
-
@TwelveBaud: I don't think an actual ISA bus is required anymore, even for those legacy stuff.
-
Routed on the motherboard? Heck no. All of that is virtualized inside the southbridge or PCH or SoC. But presented to the OS and applications as "real"? Heck yes. Because who knows if you want to run an original copy of CP/M for x86 on your brand new ThreadRipper?

@Benjamin-Hall said in The Official Status Thread:
Phone thinks I'm in Sanilac county, Michigan.
I remember a point a few years back where my phone was claiming that I was in Hong Kong despite having been (correctly) in the UK about 3 minutes earlier and again a few minutes later. Modern travel is quick, but not that quick. My theory was that the phone saw that it was in the vicinity of another phone that had last got a good location fix before its owner took a long-haul flight. It all makes you wonder how much of everything is done with spit and guesswork…
-
@Zerosquare said in The Official Status Thread:

Yes, and they all say they're out of stock. Also, given the current situation, if they were available, I bet shipping will either be fairly expensive and/or take a long time. Hence a wish to find something like them locally.
Best I could find searching online is apparently Pringles and Herr's, but I think both are limited time and the latter either isn't local to me or already finished its run.

Makes me wonder evil thoughts... If you hacked a phone (or 2) to emit things like that, how much could you screw up things for those around you...

Status: Zipped through the grocery store this morning for some stuff. I'm glad I still remember freedom enough that I was standing at the self-checkout terminal before I realized I forgot to do the face mask bit. Phrases like "the new normal" make me so angry because they're conditioning us to think so much bullshit is normal.

STATUS why has the edit button being disabled? I know I come across as belligerent but at least me spelling was usually correct.
In other news we're having a mandatory innovation day. So far my attempts to duck it have failed. I might have to take annual leave to get out of it. :(
