You can't expect him to read the title. Come on man.

Honestly, if you have no other skils, manger is a great title to have. About 20 years ago, I worked at a DME company and was considered by most to be one of the most knowlegable and resourceful people there. I loved my job.

Then layoffs came. They didn't effect me but I realized that all of my great knowledge was limited to that one company's systems and processes. I sacrified my social and family life and took an overnight shift to become a "Team Leader." The bar to get into that was low due to the horrid hours. After a year or so, I moved to lower middle management.

The title manager has guarenteed me a certain salary for the rest of my career. Even when I lost my job during covid, I was able to get a manager postion at a company mostly unrealted to my prior experience.

That said, I do well at most places because I use my title to get through the door then learn everything I can and become as skilled as possible. One of the hardest lessons I learned was waiting to suggest changes as well as how to make those suggestions in a way that didn't threaten or offend everyone set in their ways. (This lesson took a few jobs to learn - suprising no one like the guy who comes in and after a few months is looking for more work or figured out how to do something in 10 minutes that took 3 hours for years.)

on the other hand, companies may be less willing to hire someone with no experience and train them knowing that investment can be lost at a whim to a larger company with greater financail resources.

I do see how this will benifit people with your experience, though.

How often do you deal with people having to custom compile a driver for their kernel? If you know the version of the OS doesn't support yoru machine, why pick that one (you would't install an old verison of windows expecting hardware support)?

Outside of maybe gpu drivers but that is most likely not a huge issue for enterprise users.

Things are too polarized for this. It is a good way to stop Trump from getting elected since all the people that say he's repulisive loudly and then quietly vote for him would be afraid fo being outed.

Their unions probably require they use the correct people to hook up equipment.

I don't know. I went through and had to stop at page 7 of the requirements

** Made contributions to a retirement plan
** Had college tuition or other higher education expenses

That said, it's new and hopefully will cover more options next year.

I'm the same way. If I do have a quick visual memory, it fades fast if I try to focus on it.

I think if the police ever questioned me and I had to provide details of the suspect, I'd look like I was being on purpose unhelpful. I wouldn't be able to provide any real details other then gender. "Yes, I cannot describe at all what he looked like. I know he was in his 30s to 60s, believe he had hair, and was 'regular' height."

Yeah - i was just thinking that kills Google's high ground on the Apple imesage stuff (which is a shame because I'd love for Apple to impliment RCS).

I find that by the time I leave home, get in the car, drive to a fast food place, wait for my order, then get home, I could have made my own food for cheaper and it would taste better.

The downside is when I cook, I need to do the cleanup.

Things are returning to normal. Does every job that requires people to come back to the office each warrent a new article?

Covid drove these changes and the fear of it is past. Part of returning to normal is this, whether we like it or not.

It companies find out it is costing more to have people in the office and they are getting less return, they will reverse course because as we constantly say here, companies prefer profits at all costs.

Well let's go back to 1953 and fix that you dumb shit

This is how I do it on proxmox. I have an lxc container with apline linux serving my NFS and SMB shares.
I wish TrueNAS would support BTRFS because I'd love to use their gui tools for this. My drives are all missmatched sizes so using ZFS would lose me a lot of storage.

I used to be great at 10 hour work days. Nowadays, I am pretty similair to you. That said, a 7 day 5-6 hour work week sounds horrible.

I tried that but my wiresless sensors went down too.
