Yeah, the US is baffling at times. I really like Bahnhof. The Swedish Security Service had a meeting with the CEO of Bahnhof about getting direct automatic access to all ISP's and phone companies telephone and emails in secret, he recorded the entire conversation and after saying no to the agreement he gave the recording to the media which ended up in the department head of SSS being called to the justice department for a hearing.

majestic Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I just commited a completely untested hotfix to our production system that touches two seperate processes, one of them business critical and happening over night, meaning quite frankly right now during night shift.

Malcador Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) I've just updated the database in production to get an issue resolved as I've done, several times now. Found out later I am supposed to get approval for that but...eh. SaaS sucks ass, good for the client I guess but means I have to deal with pointless change approval boards, several dozen KeePass stores (THAT MUST NOT BE SHARED WITH ANYONE), etc. Edited May 7, 2020 by Malcador 1 2 Why has elegance found so little following?

ComradeYellow Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 So I quit my 'Blue' job and am looking for a 'Green' job. Luckily with Covid-19 I have tons of dough saved up so I can get more involved in my community (with a face mask of course). I decided that I better live the way I vote, or I risk running into contradictions. Wish me luck, comrades! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedicineDan Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 My wife cuts my hair and I dye hers. Now that she works at home, she realizes her hair isn't as grey as she thought. At first it was like, "I'll have you dye it right before the big meeting." Now it's, "we can wait until I go back to the classroom." lol Just a quick aside: you're a real bastard, giftd!

Guard Dog Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 This sounds like a stunt to see who is paying attention. At 4 PM on Friday we get a notification for a all hands conference call at 8 AM on Monday. I'm curious how many people won't be on because they didn't see the notification. Which I suspect was the point...

Raithe Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Today was sunny , so I wrapped myself up in old clothes and facemask, and painted fibreglass resin onto 3d printed armour pieces out in the backyard...

LadyCrimson Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) Finally got around to ordering ATT's 1GB fiber net plan, installing Monday. Hubby was able to get the multiple separate IP's he needs and there's no bandwidth limits and the upload speed is same as D/L speed - the price could go up in a year or two, who knows, but it's all right. I don't even care if for some reason we only end up with half of that speed most of the time. It would still be blazin' faster than what we have now. Maybe I can be not "afraid" of the increasing nutter size of video game downloads now ... for a few years. Does Steam cap their user download speed?

Raithe Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 A bit of both. The mouse sander is a nice hand held power sander. But I also do a bit of fine sanding by hand on certain areas (although I probably won't need that with those back pieces). Normally a very brief bit with something 120-200 grade, then mostly with the 400. If it really needs a delicate touch, I'll do some wet sanding with 1000 grade sandpaper. The combo of fibreglass resin and primer filler actually fills out a lot of the print lines, so that actually reduces the amount of sanding to get a smooth finish. With 3d printed PLA, the thing is that if you do sand it too agressively, it doesn't actually come off, just melts and spreads around. So a little bit different technique to sanding other materials.
