muppeth<p>Need to vent, sorry. I just reached the top of frustration for today!!!!1111oneoneone</p><p>The entire fucking day I have been busy preparing the servers (again) for new backup and staging for disroot. And, boy it’s been going horrible. Working with old server is just such a fucking pain. I feel like an alchemist or some nuclear physicist Those machines are so fragile, that one minute everything is fine and the second it’s not booting. Or the memory breaks or some other shit…. I have bunch of the oldies and parts and trying to ducttape two working and stable servers and it’s fucking impossible! Not to mention no fucking firmware available anywhere (g11) cause dell decided to just remove ‘em (no mirror no nothing, just gone and fuck you!).<br>And now just as I thought I was ready to install OS, one just started spinning Fans like crazy and got slow as hell, probably due to faulty cpu or ram. And second one, upon adding secondary SAS cable, just stopped POSTING! Fuck! I hate this old shit!!! It’s been great but it’s time to annihilate ‘em and throw it into a bin damn it! Wasted entire day on this and looks like I have not move a bit. Didnt do a mountain of other work piling up in the meantime, I just could spend entire day in bed playing games and doing nothing and I would be in the same place I am right now after working the entire day! Feel like crying myself to sleep right now, with a pillow over my face screaming until oxygen cuts off! <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/rant" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rant</a></p>
Feoh<p>&lt;<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rant</span></a>&gt;<br>My employer issued me a <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Mac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mac</span></a> laptop when I got here. It's a nice one. M3 MBPro 16" with plenty of RAM and storage.</p><p>When I'm at home, I mostly use a <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Dell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Dell</span></a> PC desktop running <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Windows</span></a>/ <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ManjaroWSL2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ManjaroWSL2</span></a> or <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ubuntu</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a>.</p><p>I realized something this morning, as I was exchanging <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/iMessages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>iMessages</span></a> from the comfort of my keyboard and large screen, and unlocking <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://1password.social/@1password" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>1password</span></a></span> with my Apple Watch:</p><p>The ONLY things I truly love these days about the Mac experience are those things that also represent <em>huge</em> vendor lock-in that should be downright illegal.</p><p>There is <em>zero</em> reason that we shouldn't have an interop protocol so I can send messages that my family can see from my keyboard, and there's also no reason my watch shouldn't be able to use an interop protocol to unlock my computer and password manager - NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF COMPUTER OR WHAT OPERATING SYSTEM IT'S RUNNING.</p><p>It's a great example of how Capitalism can hurt consumers in the absence of strong regulation. I don't begrudge Apple making a buck off their hardware and software! They make GREAT laptops and IMO their phones and tablets are pretty nice too! But making things that should be easy and work across platforms ONLY work with their hardware and software just feels wrong to me.</p><p></p>

That’s how those “innovations” feel to people.</p><p>Moving and changing shit just to make it look different is fucking stupid.</p>

jaKa Močnik<p>google's paternalising play store gatekeeping went straight insane. they want a *video* justifying data sync permissions for an app before publishing an update. BECAUSE YOU CAN'T FUCKING DO A BACKGROUND UPLOAD LONGER THAN A FEW MINUTES WITHOUT ANYMORE AND TRANSFERRING A LOT OF THINGS IS AT THE CORE OF WHAT THIS APP DOES, IDIOT FUCKWADS. imagine if they put all of this effort into removing malicious fake apps and malware distributing ads. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rant</span></a></p>
