Last job I was compensated a flat $450 for being on call 1 week, on top of my salary in the 140K range. Everybody received the same on-call pay and I'm pretty sure salaries were similar but not identical.

In my experience, power is not the issue; it's the noise. Servers are LOUD.

Whenever I have trouble sleeping, I like to imagine myself floating in the air with clouds underneath and I slowly drift into the clouds. Just keeping this in my head crowds out the other stuff and I drift off pretty consistently.

> Remember, in European countries students are admitted to study a specific subject at university, rather than being admitted to the university as a whole and expected to choose a major later on.

This is true in the US as well. You can change your major, but you are admitted into a College in the University. Moving to another College is not guaranteed if you later change your mind.

I've had excellent controls using NearlyFreeSpeech.net for DNS (minor cost) and time4vps.com (free). Maybe very old registrars restrict DNS records..?

I like to use:

    du -shx \*

I used to pipe that to:

    | grep G

to find anything gig sized, but I like your:

    | sort -rh

Thanks!

You can't controls screen on teams with Linux, even running Chrome browser or Edge. Drives me crazy.

I control movies, but books are much more open. If a child can read it; they should be allowed. The process of ingesting a novel is so different from a video. You're experiences and maturity put limits on how you perceive things you read. Books open your mind to new ideas and that should be encouraged even if the ideas are more mature.

answer to my question is on the description page of Shpool. Looks compelling. ---- The biggest advantage of this approach is that shpool does not break native scrollback or copy-paste.

Why is this better then the old school "screen"?

I'm in a remote first company and my entire team is over 40.

100% this ^

For every cutting edge startup chasing young people to abuse, there are a dozen existing companies with tons of legacy technical debt. They don't pay FANG salaries, but they will pay.

In my experience lately, it seems like Engineering and Developer positions have taken a hit, but backend infrastructure and DevOps type positions are still very hot, especially if you have cloud automation experience and know your way around Linux.

Putting that in a followup post is more accurate. <chef's kiss>

What they did is akin to saying Grandma can stay with me, but she's dying so I'm going to sell her wheelchair. Then I send her to stay with my sister and make them rent the wheelchair back, so other care can't be afforded and her health suffers and she dies. Then you come along and say, "She was already dying".

There are a ton of executives too, which might be an issue. As for the workers (including pilots), the should abolutely get paid. I'm just pointing out that "profits" does not show the big picture. Companies have a duty to their employees & customers; as well as their owners (shareholders). Low profit is heralded when it's Amazon, reinvesting in the company. Airlines are also investing back in the company.

I'll bet there are a ton of people making pretty good salaries and bonuses before profits.

Sorry, but your suffering from the tech mindset, traditional engineering and manufacturing is a different skill set and many of your assumptions are off.

I encourage people to tinker with modern electronics and software, it's usually harmless and you can learn easily. That's not the case with air crafts and air travel. You need to learn BEFORE doing. Getting interested in flying and airplanes is probably the most dangerous thing for modern dilettantes, maybe tinkering with explosives is more dangerous.

Good Luck, everyone has different needs and I hope yours are satisfied.

I understand, but I've had the reverse experience where having somewhere to go meant I was shut out of the things my friends were doing and I was stuck masking all day. I felt like an automaton who barely spoke.

I urge you to find a community outside of work. Work to live, don't live to work.

I'm a middle aged Hispanic guy who lives in a very conservative state and works in tech. I have established my own community of friends and family. Work doesn't provide anything for me except a paycheck. I'm friendly at work and I keep in touch and consider some people I've worked with friends, but the majority of people I work with are just work acquaintances.

I remember being lonelier in my 20's, but I never really socialized at work. I socialized outside work with my family, or found places I enjoyed being with people I enjoyed being around. "The office" is an antiquated system that's unnecessary. America definitely needs more public spaces, but building your relationships around work is a recipe for disaster. It takes time to build a community, but it's worth it. I don't want to be around people who are forced to be around me, pretend the don't look down on me, sabotage me behind my back.

Remote work makes those people forget to discriminate in my experience, I can stand on my merits without that guy who does my job (but sucks) joking about how they could replace me with a sombrero. (actual IRL interaction.)

EDIT: spelling

Also, I thrived and had to deal with way less low level racism. I've heard also less sexism from women who work remote. Being a voice is a better experience for me and levels the playing field.

Bingo, you can't be "rational" when you don't understand any of the existing rational reasons people do things.

I guess that's fair. Sorry

So you think this guy is "contemporary western culture"? He's catering to a bunch of dimwits, not contemporary culture anywhere. This is just AI cultism.

Nothing is an emergency no matter how much you press, until one day it's a pants on fire, after hours wake-up call emergency. You cannot predict when this will happen.

I hated the idea of push button start and wireless keyfob; until I got one. Now I feel put out every time I have to dig my keychain out of my pocket.

I've been meaning to setup something like this for awhile. https://github.com/eikek/sharry

KDE connect handles this pretty well.

KDE connect is my goto for sharing between phone and computer.
