This. I’ve been laid off at the beginning of the month as well. Three of the four interview leads I have right now are through references from old colleagues I’ve enjoyed working with and never completely lost contact. Not necessarily friends, but people you know are pleasant coworkers or have good judgement is more than enough.

All other companies I’ve applied to have either completely ghosted or rejected me pretty damn quickly despite being rather senior. This market is the worst we’ve seen in this field in a long while…

Unraid’s “killer feature” is the ability to mix and match disparate drive sizes and only requiring the parity drive to be at least as large as your largest data disk, a la MergeFS/Snapraid. Also ZFS chugging RAM like there’s no tomorrow so not really an option for underpowered devices like some NASes. But yeah, TrueNAS is nice.

Is it pronounced “eleph pants”?

[-] folkrav@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Ah, yeah, I knew that at one point. I find recursive acronyms so tacky I tend to tune that information out lol.

I’ll take this as a compliment, especially since English is my second language haha!

We wouldn’t need mods if people could be decent. You’re actively working towards being the proof people can’t.

I’m in Canada. Go back not even 20-30 years ago, parents were still piercing their babies’ ears pretty regularly. It’s a pretty recent phenomenon that people started waiting for their children to grow older. Many still do it.

IMHO… A tiny 18g earring like they’re doing to babies is not particularly invasive, takes a handful of hours to stop being sore, will extremely rarely infect if done by a reputable piercer, and will naturally close back up once removed. As far as controversial practices go, earrings are amongst the most inconsequential. Permanent body altering stuff like non-medical circumcision, now this, I have an issue with…

Didn’t say otherwise

I’m not the same person you were initially talking to. I’m not sure calling it indignation is necessarily dismissive - indignation can perfectly be justified. I’m really surprised it carries this subtext. I can’t seem to find any reference or definifion supporting neither this nor the expression itself though, but I may be looking in the wrong place…

Some time before Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04), so somewhere around 2006-2007. Had a spare laptop I had installed (unsuccessfully) Gentoo on, then played around with stuff like Mandriva and Debian, and early versions of Fedora and OpenSuse. I’m a developer now, using Pop right now. Honestly I don’t really care which one as long as my tools and hardware work, and it works well enough on Pop.

Blind unwavering nationalism is a cancer. The (North?) American Dream is one of individualism and corporate reliance. It's slowly seeping north of our common border, too.
