We're primarily a CentOS (6/7, kill me) and Rocky 8+ shop at work, with Debian handling our webservers. My Boss We like Rocky so much, it's even our base image for all of our containers (ugh).

My experience so far is that RHEL (and derivatives) are pretty solid, and not a bad choice. Though, I'd generally want to avoid the complexity that is SELinux in selfhost endeavors.

Make sure you dye your hair a fun color when you get to a comfy point with Rust, that way people know you're a serious Rust dev (/s).

We ran RocketChat at work for a few years before migrating to Teams.

RC could be good, but maintaining it long-term was an enormous pain. Maybe it's better now, certainly if you're using docker... But a manual install was always a laborious task on upkeep for us. Also worth making sure you don't need commercial features, as they've removed free features in the past to drive sales...

If the Excel/CSV sheet is actually a CSV file, Import-Csv in powershell will return the content as an array of objects, where each row is one element in the array.

I'm the sysadmin (and transitioning to DevOps) at work, but the DBs are 100% in control of our two devs (one of which being the head of IT).

Apparently we're going to hire a third Dev, who will moonlight as our DBA -- oh, and for 30K/yr.

I'm sure this will go well.

My parents recently got a new washer/dryer set; they had to buy commercial (though available to consumers) units to get non-smart units.

We've been running KVM on CentOS/Rocky hosts for our VM platforms; seems to work fine for our needs.

I'm not sure how ESXi would differ as I've never used it, but may be an option if you want to roll your own vs proxmox.

I forgot how much this interview reminded me of my parents.

Hey now, why don't you join my work and use jboss-4.2.2.GA? (kill me)

Just for additional context, are the Outlook connections Exchange, or standard IMAP/POP?

I'm sure we'll keep using .intranet because why should we ever change?

Looks like you need to manually install pkgbuild (mkpkg? Don't remember off hand) & zmusic.

I assume this has changed with the modern releases then? My S10 had a ton of non-removable apps, primarily those from Samsung.

There's really only a couple of things I missed from the S10 on my P7:

• The edge panel (ended up using Panels
• A tile to toggle ringer/vibrate/silent in the notification shade
  • I've gotten used to it now, but still prefer the way it's handled in OneUI

I had the same problem with Fallen Order the first day; the workaround in that particular case was to launch the game's executable directly; which let me play that one, single time. A few days later and both the original workaround (and others) & no-workarounds caused the game to launch in the background, with no way to force it to the foreground.

In Fallen Order's case specifically; there appeared to be a launcher-specific wrapper executable, and the game itself. When the workaround stopped working, the launcher-specific wrapper is what was getting ran in the background; but the game itself never actually appeared. Additionally, reinstalling the game several times did not resolve any issue; nor other troubleshooting steps from EA.

Origin was also a pretty crap piece of software (compared to Steam, anyway); but this is a new low from EA, imo. Its a shame too, because I liked what I got to see in Fallen Order, especially recently getting into souls games.

Had the displeasure of using the modern EA app the other week -- completely refuses to launch my copy of Jedi: Fallen Order in the foreground after a single play-session (Steam -> EA just doesn't work for some people).

Are you also managing AD or other services in Linux to make PS more viable, or just in general?

We didn't get a video, but my first employer (Food Lion, a grocery store) did give us almost an identical spiel about once a year as "mandatory training".

For me, once I prove the username/password and tap "Login", a third box appears asking for the MFA code

Part of the difficulty may have also been because it was my first foray into Android... at the moment I don't have a specific example, but I seem to remember setting defaults was straight-forward; but either they were not always respected by certain interaction prompts, or some similar behavior.

As for GMail, I'm also no longer using the app and instead have opted for Spark (personal mailboxes) & Outlook (exchange, work)...

I've just recently switched from a Galaxy S10 to a Pixel 7 as I wanted to see the "vanilla" experience, as well as be closer to upstream for software updates. My S10 still works great, though the battery needs replacement (at the time, it had already broken the glue on the back glass and was still expanding -- didn't realize until I took it out of the case for cleaning)...

With my S10, I had to really fight to get it to let me use Google's apps over the Samsung ones; which whole annoying is doable. So far, the only things I really miss from Samsung (and notably the UX):

• The sidebar/panel with an additional set of predefined apps
  • Replaced with Panels
• The volume/silent switch in the notification shade
• The Bixby button (for custom actions)
• Physically smaller phone, but that's not a huge deal

Overall, I'm happy with the experience so far; though I dunno if the "Pro" model of anything is really worth it.
