The average is 32 hours. But that is of course because lots of people work 36-40 hours and lots of people work part-time, so 16-24 hours usually. I did actually work 32 hours in my last job but it wasn’t that common amongst my colleagues.

Idiots.

dotfiles and system configuration are pretty different use-cases, usually when you do system-wide stuff you want to manage not just the configuration files but also what software is installed and a bunch of other things. Ansible or something else like it is definitely the right tool for the job. And Ansible isn’t so difficult to learn, you only need to know like 5% of what it can do to be very effective.

For dotfiles my personal preference is dotbot, but there are MANY many different tools that are all good and are just different ways to accomplish roughly the same thing.

What do you think you’re paying with when you’re using a “free” VPN?

This is the most British thing I’ve read in a while.

Same here. Only time it stopped working is when my last subtitle provider stopped working, so then I put in a few new ones.

Oh, that would have been really useful a year ago! Thanks, I’ll keep it in my bag of tricks, it looks pretty neat.

Yeah I wouldn’t call Arch a server OS. I run Arch on my laptop, but Debian on my docker/file/self-hosting server. Best tool for the job etc. Never even been tempted by Unraid, the whole point of running Linux is that I control what goes where.

+1 for Podman. I switched from docker last year and I’m really happy I did. It’s not all sunshine and roses (can’t copy paste so much from the internet being the main issue, nobody gives examples for it), but the product itself is much better.

nu 's commands also work on JSON, so you don’t really need jq (or xq or yq) any more. It offers a unified set of commands that’ll work on almost any kind of structured data.

On older consoles, yes, absolutely. But people really shouldn’t let their saltiness from 5 years ago stop them from enjoying what has since become one of the better games of the past decade.

On the Playstation store, yes. On PC it was mostly fine, if a bit buggy because it was released too early (as so many games are unfortunately). But I and many other people enjoyed it just fine at launch, and it has gotten better and better every year since then. It’s still getting new content and patches 5 years after launch, and the modding scene is absolutely crazy right now, so many good stuff being released.

It had all of those things at launch.

This is so wrong I don’t even know where to start. There is an very convoluted web of how choices in literally dozens of quests affect other quests and other things in the world. There are hours and hours and hours of videos on Youtube going through all the choices you have and all the possible outcomes they give you and all the different endings the game has if you make the right choices.

And since when are we gatekeeping the term RPG? Even the Wikipedia article opens with “Cyberpunk 2077 is a 2020 action role-playing game”… It’s also based on a pen-and-paper RPG, and it’s original creator, Mike Pondsmith, is involved in the creation of this game and it’s upcoming sequel. I’m not sure how much more RPG you can be than that?

Some weird choices in this one, like completely ignoring Cyberpunk 2077 exists.
