I’m currently working as a tool technician maintaining and repairing a fleet of rental tools. (it’s incredible how little people take care of things that aren’t theirs…)

Electrical is what I’m really interested in, but financial strain has made it difficult to get into classes beyond high-school for it and there’s only so much you can do self-taught with no certifications.

I was given a months community service because of some vandalism as a teenager.

The community service (in a very small town), was to help the highschool shop teacher supervise students in the wood/metal shops.

Shop class was by far my favorite part of highschool. I had taken something like 13 different wood/metal/automotive shop classes between the different towns I moved too. I would have volunteered for that on my free time if they’d let me. It definitely didn’t feel like a punishment.

What. the. fuck.

I think this graph just gave me a migraine.

No, I don’t. Haven’t been on Reddit for 2.5 years though, so why would I.

Stop torturing yourself OP. Move on.

Noticed it on 83 I think, but I actually haven’t seen it with 84 afaik. I didn’t pay much attention to version numbers as I hadn’t planned on reporting it.

I’ll reply to this again if I notice it again and be sure to include more useful info.

Hmm, I thought it may be something to do with that.

I had also noticed images being rendered in the wrong size lately. They’ll look normal at first, but if you scroll past them, then scroll back up; some images are ~150% size and falling off the edge of screen.

At least it’s known and being addressed.

And now suddenly it’s happening while browsing my own profile/comment history…

Major version changes for any software from the OS right down to a simple notepad app should update as sequentially as possible (11>12>13>etc). Skipping over versions is just asking for trouble, as it’s rarely tested throughly.

It might work, but why risk it.

An example: if 12 makes a big database change but you skip over that version, 13 may not recognize the databases left by 11 because 12 had the code to recognize and reformat the old database while that code was seen as unnecessary and removed from 13.

Stuff like this is also why you can’t always revert to an older version while keeping the data/databases from the newer software.

Makes download speeds great, but upload drops off a cliff

I use cloudflared to translate DNS into DNS over TLS instead of Unbound to make it into recursive DNS. Just never really seen the need to switch it. I’m happy with nextDNS + Cloudflare resolving DNS upstream.

The main thing I wanted to note is port 53 outbound is blocked at the router to prevent devices from using external/unencrypted DNS. If a LAN device wants DNS resolution they MUST use the LAN DNS servers they were given via DHCP, or use their own DoT config, as plain DNS won’t make it out of the network.

It’s because of this block/enforcement that I run two local DNS servers: pihole on an RPI and a mirror on my main server tower, with Galaxy-Sync keeping them identical. If I tinker with/update one, the other picks up the slack so connectivity/resolution isn’t disrupted.

The circumstances that led you to any particular decision are pre-determined at the time you’re making that decision, simply through the fact that those circumstances have already happened prior to the current decision at hand; but that doesn’t mean you don’t have the free will to make that decision in the moment.

To extend on that a little: if you were able to make the same person face the same decision multiple times under identical circumstances, I don’t believe you’d get identical results every time. It may not be an even distribution between the possible choices; but it wouldn’t be a consistent answer either. The Human element introduces too much chaos for that kind of uniformity.

Lmao, classic troll brownie move. Bonus if he still cut out a square of brownie, but diagonally in the center.

I’m guessing the black parts slide like wax? For ‘grinding’ without a board?

Lmao. I’d only scrolled far enough to see the top half, paused and though to myself; “you could probably calculate how fast that shit was going, using the speed of gravity as a reference.”

Then I scrolled to see it had already been done…

Rotate your wide monitor to be tall.

A square monitor the same width as a widescreen is 77% larger overall = more expensive. (both in terms of materials and horsepower to run it)

There’s not enough benefit to justify the cost of stretching both dimensions; we use the width more than the height.

the most commonly used workplace productivity apps are less useful in landscape mode.

They aren’t less useful, they just don’t take advantage of the extra space on their own. A wide monitor allows you to put multiple windows side-by-side without the expense of an additional monitor though.

With that in mind; a wide monitor is useful for document editing, web browsing, media viewing/production, gaming, and can even be rotated (stand/mount permitting) for a tall view if desired.

A square monitor is much more limited.

That’s a standard sized drink can in pretty much all of North America. Anything smaller is rare/unusual (though occasionally available).
