    Hold your downvotes people. I can't delete this post, and it seems image uploads are still down for the instance.

    Anyone else get an email from Portainer?
  • Wow, you're an ass. I bet I could update a dual monitor setup with different resolutions, refresh rates and positions with nvidia-settings faster than you can editing xorg.conf in vim. My point is that people should use the best tool for the job instead of stroking their superiority complex to prove a point.

    slackware has been my daily driver since the late 90s. It still boots to CLI by default. I'm more than comfortable in a terminal emulator. I'm also fine with clicking on stuff. I don't use portainer, but there's nothing wrong with people who do.

  • Anyone else get an email from Portainer?
  • Beautifully said. I can't say I've come across too many GUI purists, but I've definitely been shamed by terminal absolutists who are fine with turning a 1 second process into a 10 second one. There's a time and place for both.

  • i discovered it around the same time, but i forget how. It's been my only daily driver since then. I can fumble my way through a .deb distro if I have to, but slackware is my comfort zone.

    Smoking @midwest.social downhomechunk [chicago] @midwest.social

    lazy Sunday smoked chicken thighs

    I smoked a bunch of boneless, skinless chicken thighs. They're quick, easy and versatile. I do a 1 hour wet brine and lightly rub with whatever I have on hand. I don't sauce, spray or even look at them until the temp probe says 170.

    I've been shredding them and serving with white sauce, but they'd work just as well serving whole with sweet baby ray's.

    The sauce (not pictured):

    my insurance stopped covering name brand vyvanse

    And guess what is on back order at every nearby pharmacy? I'll give you a hint: it's not the $300 per month name brand.

    So I guess I switch to Adderall xr tomorrow?

    my daughter's first computer

    I finally found a use for an underpowered sbc I bought during the pandemic. I put Debian base, lightdm and sugar on it. It was a fun project for me. Hopefully it introduces a lifelong love of computers.

    She already had a text to speech robot saying things like poopy, fart, butt stink and fire in the hole. The apple doesn't fall too far from the dingleberry.

    Midwestern carnival fried desserts

    The oreo was delicious as you'd expect. The brownie bite was like hot brownie batter coated in pancake, powdered sugar and caramel sauce. I will absolutely do that again.

    Mistakes were made, but it's nothing tums and laying down can't fix.

    What's that old friend? You want me to fry up some oreos and brownie bites? I mean I guess we can do it....

    my little gambler is in the hospital again

    I posted a picture of my little girl playing the slots yesterday. We had actually just come from an immediate care place. We told them she was starting a new UTI/kidney infection. She just got out of the hospital less than 2 weeks ago and has previous history with this problem.

    These infections go from zero to 100. She'll go from no fever to 106+ in under an hour. So we were desperate for some help yesterday. The doctor listened to our story, looked at the chart, and decided she was fine.

    Today we're back in the ER with another runaway infection. We came because we couldn't control the fever that blew up out of nowhere. She's being admitted and will be here for several days. We are exhausted and disheartened.

    my daughter came up with a plan to pay off her medical bills

    She was up $0.80 at one point, but chose to reinvest her winnings into more spins. This proved to be a strategic blunder, though, as she walked away penniless and disheartened about 15 seconds later.
