Lol. Craptop. I named my old laptop that.

I use a 2012 Mac Mini running OPNSense. I use the Apple Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter in addition to the built in Ethernet. You could probably do the same for the MacBook Pro. I have a separate switch and access point. It works really well. And it was cheap.

That’s a neat job. Do you work for a university or something?

I use a Norton Commander clone (Total Commander) lol. Having a huge list of bookmarks in a drop-down menu with subfolders is super helpful for my work.

All our network shares are Azure hosted, so Microslop is getting corporate $$$ regardless. And I think that bug has been around since forever.

Dude. Same. Windows 11 at work is fucking awful.

My laptop idles at 12 out of 16 gigs of RAM free.

Right clicking takes dozens of seconds, especially on a network share.

Did IT remove a letter mapped network drive? Haha! Fuck you! Windows hangs indefinitely if you open Windows explorer. You gotta fuck around in the registry to remove that shit.

The only good thing about windows 11 is tabs in Windows explorer. Which MacOS and Linux have had for a gazillion years.

We make engines for other people to attach onto their satellites or rockets. All I typically do is test if the engines are functional. I help build the test programs and go through the resulting data. Our customers do the GNC (Guidance, Navigation, and Control) programming, so I have no idea how that typically works.

A lot of people, schoolchildren included, are up way before sunrise anyway, regardless of where we put the clocks.

Personally, I’m just sick of moving back and forth. I don’t care what we change it to, just stop changing it. Where I live, we get 8 hours of daylight in the winter. Someone is always going to be in the dark sometime, no matter what we set our clocks to.

I’m a data analyst/software engineer in rocket engine testing.

I get super excited when I see rocket launches in the news or on the Internet.

“Woah that’s so cool!”

“Holy shit! Hardware I touched is on that!”

“Yooooo. Those engines I tested are on the Moon!”

Do it!

Here’s what it looks like around me: https://analyzer.letsmesh.net/channels?region=pnw

I’d check the map to see if there are repeaters around your area.

I believe the only part of Meshcore that’s not FOSS is the official app, and there’s a FOSS alternative.

Personally, I’d use Meshcore. I tried MT for a month or so. I never saw a conversation, just a few scattered “test” messages. Meanwhile, on MC, I was away from my phone for 4 hours yesterday and came back to 250+ coherent messages in a conversation from all over the region (not to mention the hundreds of test messages).

MT is better in ad-hoc situations since clients can repeat messages, but MC is better for establishing a region-wide communication network.

Mesh also allows you to use encryption.

And both use LoRa which is proprietary.

I love multi desktop in Mint. It’s frustrating because it works so much better in Mint than it does in Windows (which I have to use for work)

I solve the alt tab game issue by having multiple desktops. I bind them to Alt + 1, Alt + 2, etc. Instead of alt tabbing, I just switch to another desktop. It’s not a perfect solution, but it works for me.

I thought it was neat and installed it, but I had no specific use cases.

It came in handy when I was trying to combine a bunch of PDFs a few weeks later. Then I used it again to remove some pages from another PDF. I like having it around

I’ve always called it the Daily Heil.

They kinda liked the Nazis.

What about a certified letter? With a law firm’s letterhead.

NGC 2264 in the constellation Monoceros (next to Orion) for the curious.
